Thanksgiving In New England.

Much time and attention are bestowed
by the housewife on the Thanksgiving
dinner. In New England the feasting
does not begin and end with the day, as 1t
does in the middle and western states.
There great bakings take place many days
before the time set for Thanksgiving, and
the broad shelves of the pantry are covered
with mince, cranberry, pumpkin and
ounce pies Cranberry sauce and stewed
barberries fill molds and bowls. Loaves
of soft, fragrant gingerbread are stored
away until one week before the time.
when ounce pie finds It's way to the
breakfast table, flanked by plate of sug

there will be a Thanksgiving dainty until

but 1t is only an appetizer-no danger Of
spelling the final effect.-Exchange.
