SOME THANKSGIVING MENUS.



the National Feast Day.
"Oh, for some kind friend to suggest
menus within my means for q dainty.
appetizing Thanksgiving dinnerl" signs
the economical little housewife who IL
obliged to live ON a limited allowance.
perhaps cannot even afford maid Of
all work. Besides cooking the meals she
must see that they are served in a tempt
ing manner, SO that tired, overworked
James will thoroughly enjoy his well
seasoned steak and potatoes and not re-
mark how much be tier they are to be
had at chophouse or restaurant.
Here, then, are some simple, mex
pensive menus for just such busy
woman, which are calculated to pro-
duce good cheer and grateful spirit on
this near approaching day of thanks. II
one wishes TO go ''from oysters to wal
nuts" ON Thanksgiving day feast he
can do it with comparatively small ex-
pense.
Little Neck CLAIMS, being cheaper than
oysters, will do for the first course,
served in the half shell. Then a cream
tomato soup is good and economical.
For the third course have roast tur-
key, small white onions, boiled and
served with drawn butter, mashed pota-
TO and baked sweet ones, and the inevi-
table cranberry sauce or jelly. For rel
ishes homemade pickles and sailed pea
nuts, instead Of almonds, being much
less expensive and considered by some
quite as good, celery and olives, celery
salad with mayonnaise, or plain let
tuce salad with French dressing will do
Next come homemade mince pie, nuts,
raisins, fruit and coffee.
Here is still another simple menu for
such an occasion:
celery soup. Roast turkey with chest
nut stuffing. Potatoes mashed and
formed in cones, then brushed over with
beaten egg and piled in the oven to
brown. Boiled cauliflower with cream
sauce and celery. French canned string
beans, put in the ice chest until they
have become very cold, then drained
and tossed in French dressing, make a
delicate and delicious salad.
A boiled homemade plum pudding
with wine sauce, pumpkin pie, nuts,
raisins and coffee are pleasant finish
to this modest feast.
Or here is still another, quite differ
ent from the foregoing menus:
Dreamed turkey soup. Boiled turkey
with rice stuffing and oyster sauce.
Riced potatoes. Scalloped tomatoes.
Boiled onions and cranberry. celery,

AS Thanksgiving is the formal express
sion Of gratitude for the harvest of the
kindly fruits of the EARTH" so the
bountiful feast is the central point of
the day--a tangible evidence that man
appreciates the bounty of nature and
can turn it to good account. Fruit is a
most appropriate decoration for the
table, grapes, when they can be had,
being easily arranged and most effect

Let Us Give Thanks.

The goldenrod, in wind blown sheaves. stood
bright
Upon the hill in golden summer days;
The fragrant winds sang to the pines: the
woods
Stretched their dark branches by the dust
white road.
Within the orchards dim the fruited boughs
Hung weighted with their own rich heavi-
ness,
And grapes gathering in their purple
globes
The warmth OF countless OF September suns
Until the season wanedl
Then, when the stars (like white rose petals
dropt on shady streams)
We're drifting warmly i'm the cold blue skies,
A white frost spirit took his silent path
Past field and fold, Ger fern clad rocks and
glens,
And tenderly, not roughly, laid his hand
Upon the merry brooks-and stilled their
songs'
Then through the silence, passing wood and
void,
He crowned deserted nests with silver rims,
Hung crystals ON the naked boughs, and kissed
The clinging vines until they blushed for
shamel
He saw a nation prosperous and at peace;
He saw the farmers barns piled high with
sheaves
And plenty everywhere.
The harvest feast Is rich and bountiful in hap
py homes
Let us remember blessings and give thanksi
