THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS.

The old question comes up again and
again as to how to devise something noyel
for Thanksgiving decoration. The day is
one pre-eninently 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 o oms
nothing is more effective than Indian corn
and diminutive 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-
ful in effect. Fruits of all kinds-grapes,
late pears and peaches, rosy apples and
purple piums, mingled with their own foil
age are unique and highly typical OF the
harvest home.
For dining table ornamcntation a novel
and most attractive mode Is to cut from
the ordinary garden vegetables shapes SIM
ulating flowers-from the beet deep red
rose, from the yellow turnip n tiger lily.
white lily OF chrysanthcmum m from the po-

cabbage, celery, caulif1owcr. and the dozen

while n huge group mingled with fruits

1t Is very simple matter to shape these

skill is all that is required, They may be

All dance around, the chains going in oppo-

drop hands and face toward a large side
table loaded with souvenirs. All grasp
partners and dance to an old-time quick
step galop TO the table, where the eldest
generation distribute souvenirs to. quick
music.
X.-NEXT YEARS KISSES. o
This is the exit dance. The gentlemen Sc
lect partners md start to dance with them
in the conventional way. When the dane
ing has gone on about a minute loud
smack is heard in one end OF the room and
q loud smackinS in the other. 1t is the
youngsters, secreted behind "a screen. who
are doing the smacking, but the effect is
as magic as though done by the cotillion
fairy of Thanksgiving.
AT the first smack the couples drop
hands and the young ladies' waltz away
from their partners, throwing kisses
meanwhile. AS they separate further and
further the kissing continues, pretty hands
waiting them deliciously toward the mas
culine partners, who hold out appealing
hands. As the door is reached there Is "a
final round of kisses and the girls vanish
through the door. That ends the cotillion
figures proper and afterward a supper
can be- served.

TIMELY CHARITIES.

The modern lady bountiful, even more
than her old-time sister, loves dearly to
uuloose her purse for her less fortunate
fellow beings, and at Thanksgiving tide
is her heart especially touched. This is
the one day of the year entirely given over
to the Joys of home, and then do the trials
of the homeless appeal most acuteiy to- her
who is richly endowed with this worlds
goods.
A favorite manner Of dispensing Thanks
giving bounty is for my lady to gp TO the
patron of her pet charity-day nursery,
hospital or asylum-aud. slipping into tbe
good woman's hand a generous check. tell

to that of a real drum. Small drums are
carried by the men Of the party, who select
their partners. handing them the drum

takes the drumsticks from her partner and
begins to drum with them. For one minute
the loud tapping Is kept up, the orchestra

MRS STOVES PoETRYs
A couple of weeks ago she sat under the
trees in her Hartford home, looking at the
purpling of the autumn leaves and the ither-
ing of the grass. Suddenly, as she lay back
in her invaiid's chair, her lips began to
move. What are you saying, grandma?"
asked one of her grandchildren who was
near her. "I am repeating those lines of
Oliver Wendell Holmes and adapting them
to myself:
I, too, shall live to be
The last leaf upon the tree"
Then, as the poor brain grew clouded
again, she lay back her head and let the
hot tears rain down.
Mrs. Stoves days are spent contentedly,
and her sons and daughters give thanks be-
cause she is spared to them for so many
Thanksgivings more than they expected.
