This year Mrs. Cleveland will place
ribbons around the turkey of a deep
brown hue to set off it's crisp sides. The
ribbons are knotted ut the sides of the
platter and laid across with skewers to
hold them in place. The turkey is
brought on whole, not carved at the
side. and the President removes the
skewers. They are laid upon plate
with the ribbons clinging to them, and
they remain there through the body of
the feast. This ribbon decoration is a
very pretty one and easily managed.
Last year Mrs. Cleveland banded the
turkey with strings of smilax.

TURKEY FOR BIG MEN.
Harrison Wants His Bird Filled with
Chestnuts and Served by
Farmer Girl.

New York, Nov. 22-There are as many
turkeys as there are great men, More
actually speaking, there are as many diff
ferent ways of cooking turkey as there
are great men to eat it and order it pre-
pared in their own way.
Never q great parsonage but knew
how he took his turkey, and few in all

not given explicit directions for the
roasting, the basting, the stuffing and
the serving. Separate a great man from
his turkey dinner and you rob national
holiday of national spectacle. APP
proach great man upon the subject of
his turkey and he will forget ''to frown
his greatness forth and will grow affa-
bic upon this subject of mutual interest.
McKinley's Bird.
William Mckinley was resting one aft
ernoon recently between stump speeches
in the western part of his own state
when a repertorial friend approached him
thus upon the subject of turkey: "Where
are you going to eat your THANKSGIVING
turkey. Mr.. Mckinley, and how do you
like it,"
Il can't answer the former to a sllre-
ty." replied the tariff MAJ promptly, ''but

Depew's Ole Nanny.
Chauncey Depew actually licked his
chops when asked about his Thanksgiv-
ing dinner Give me-" he said, "a bird

A man once undertook to get up a
book of 100 ways to cook a turkey, as
recommended by great men, but when

day. as the order that accompanied 1T
was for a gown for street and house
It was patterned after one worn by Mrs.
Frank Leslie recently and which was
considered beauty.
The material is velveteen of short nap
and silk texture. 1t is light velvet
possibly, but is sold as silk velveteen.
irhe waist is drawn with a little fulness
to a low, round belt of velveteen, and
there is a very high, very round and
very ffaring collar.
The sleeves of this dress are its nov
city. They are like balloons at the ell
bow. The shoulder is narrow, small
and tight-ftting, but at the elbow there 1e;r
is a great round balloon fulness. The
rest Of the gown is a cream white cloth
skirt. with long black coat opening In
front over it. The cloak coat-tails are
fastened to the waist, which is all re-
movable. 1t fastens at the side and is
secured neatly by hooks and little straps,
until one can have no idea how the wear
er gets into it: -. - $50
to the sleeves, is the white leather trim
mings upon it. These straps OF white
heather are set in the sleeve pulls and
again in the round waist. They have
touch of stitching upon them ana are
very rich in effect against the yeiyeteen.
The hat is one of the modified Alplnes,
aar;n, 1T one side and trimmed with
ostrich trimming and white ribbon bows,
combined with white flowers in harmonl-
onS nlaces. This is a very rIcn gown
fnr fall wear in the streets. The only
touch of fur is a strip lining the high
collar. 1t sets off the face and looks
very pretty.

Benjamin Harrison was resting at his
summer cottage not three weeks ago
he liked his national bird cooked for
Thanksgiving.
Harrison's Country Style.
II was just this minute thinking about
my Thanksgiving dinner. That's fun
ny, isn't it?'' he said, pulling a chair out
of the French window for his guest.
''Well. you can say that [ want my In
diana turkey stuffed with Indiana chest
nuts. When l was at the white house
my THANKSGIVING turkey travelled all
the way to Washington to me with the
chestnuts in it placed there by an In
dianapolis cook.
There's a queer thing about the cook
ing of a turkey. And in my estima ton
there's only one person who has solved
the riddle. Or one class of persons.
A farmers daughter can cook a turkey,
but no one else in the world [ want
my turk as the boys say, cooked by
farmers daughter. The chestnuts in
side must be big ones, domestic chest
nuts, but the humping big kind that
grow in Indiana and nowhere else.
President Cleveland only smiled and
shook his head when asked how he liked
his Thanksgiving turkey cooked. That
shake might mean that he did not know,
or it might mean that he did not want to
tell. But there is a yearly guest at
Mrs. Cleyeland's Thanksgiving table
who volunteers the information.
The President likes his turkey all
dressed up. Inside is the regular bis
cult or cracker stuffing of the coun-
try black with pepper and thick with
salt and thyme and sweet marjoram.
But the outside of the breast is what
claims the attention of the President.
He likes it rugged up and in different
style every year.

harmonious appearance desired by every
dresser. That is the reason, in the opn-
ion OF many color experts, that blondes
are more admired than brunettes, be-
cause they can match the hair with a
pretty shade of cloth and look the
poem that a blonde woman always is.
A very neat outing suit for this time
of the year, and one that is worn by
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, is black and
tan one that has for it's principal feature
Il tan cape. The cape is of dull tan
cloth, exactly. the color of the wearer's
hair, which is like faded leaves. The
cape is trimmed with black embroidery
and has large, fancy everything points
that look as if appliqued on. A good eff
feet is produced by having the points
not fastened on, as they fall easier than
though they were immovable. Many
fashioned dressers will not allow their
points-so fashioned now-to be sewed
down tight.
The neck of the cape is very high,
tight one of fashion. 1t is bordered with
smooth black fur of one of the mex
pensive black varieties. This entire
cape fastens in the back of the neck and
is hooked so closely together that the
wearer could not possibly extricate her
self alone. But for this kind of cape,
with hooks and eyes not a quarter of an
inch apart, there are always kind-heart-
ed people in the world who can be called
to ones assistance.
Brown and Braid.
A very pretty novelty in brown has
been made for a very pretty woman
who dresses like Mrs. Oscar Wilde, in
tan and brown, ''like a snowbird." This
dress is old brown cloth, smooth and
lustrous. It's trimmings are deep brown
braid, and it's vest is pale brown, fig
ured with old brown embroidery. This
scheme pervades the entire costume.

Bishop Potter's Thanksgiving turkey
is a matter of much interest with the
good mans friends. The bishop begins
by declaring that he is not going to have
Thanksgiving turkey; there are too
many people that need it." But his
parishioners declare that he shall enjoy
one. As early as Monday of Thanks
giving week the turkeys begin to come
in. One, two, three, four, five, six an
hour. All the friends of the bishop send
one. But the bishop is determined to
thwart them. Last summer in those two
weeks in the slums, he saw too many
people that needed good food for him to
indulge in selfish luxuries, and down to
the slums the turkeys go in baskets. An
old servant distributes them.
But the bishop has his dinner. On
Thanksgiving day he goes out to dine
with some good host. and there is a
turkey served in the bishops own style.
This is turkey with truffies and sur
rounded by boiled vegetables. The vege-
tables are boiled whole and are placed
in their bright coioring around the bird.

As gowns are adapted to wearers, this

The Countess de Castellane, who was
Miss Anna Gould, had house party re-
Gently, and the ladies' big sleeves were
being jibed at by the men. The countess
then announced that on the following
evening they would have dance, and
that half of the ladies would have big
sleeves and the others no sleeves. The
ladies drew lots to decide which they
should wear. The following evening the
sleeveless ladies first entered the drawing
room. As they came in, with lace and
chiffon around the low necks Of their
bodices, showing the pretty shoulder
lines and the curves of the bust. a muir
muir of admiration greeted them, and
they felt comforted. But when the fun
sleeves appeared, the waists looked so
small and the heads so we'll poised be-
tween the big, wing-like sleeves, that the
men were divided. The result was that
no decision was arrived at.
