THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS.

The old question comes up again and
again as to how TO devise something novel
for Thanksgiving decoration. The day is
one pre-enlnently homely and simple in its
spirit and traditions-a day set apart for
returning thanks because of the necessities
and everyday comforts OF life.
Nothing Is so appropriate In commemo-
rating the occasion as embellishments from
the harvest fields. In drawing r o oms
nothing is more effective than Indian corn
and diminutiye yellow pumpkins, the corn
with its long stalks and golden ears stacked
on either side of the wide doors or grouped
in corners, the small pumpkins, with more
ears of corn piled at the base.
Vines of cranberry crowded with the
tiny red globes can trail across mantle
shelves or twine up and down columns,
while garlands of red and green peppers.
all sizes and shapes, and great punches
of ripe wheat and oats are rich and beauti-
full In effect. Fruits of all kinds-grapes,
late pears and peaches, rosy apples and
purple pluns, mingled with their own foil
age are unique and highly typical of the
harvest home.
For dining table ornamentation a novel
and most attractive mode is to cut from
the ordinary garden vegetables shapes SIM
ulating flowers-fr6rp the beet deep red
rose from the yellow turnip a tiger lily.
a white lily or cbrysaBthemum from the po-
tato, with lettuce leaa'eslfor foliage. while
cabbage, celery. cauliflower, and the dozen
other kitchen garde n, productions add bios
SONS to this original bonduet. One of these
ornaments serves at each plate as a favor,
while O. huge group mingled with fruits
forms fine centerpfece.
1t is a very simple matter to shape these
mock flowers. A sharp knife and a little
skill is all that is required. They may be
prepared the day before Thanksgiving and
kept fresh in bowl of water.
