THE HOUSEHOLD.
Modern Serving of the THANKSGIVING
Feast A Repeating Tack Ham
mer-Making Spanish Lash.

In the times Of our forefathers Thanks.
giving was literally day of giving
thanks for mercies past received and
lay of real fasting. Now it has become
day of family reunions and feasting,
and the dinner is the feature of the day,
remarks Good Housekeeping in preface
to suggestions for the proper serving of
the feast.
Some of the dishes can be made the
day before Thanksgiving and thus save
much time. The table should be set
early in the day with spotless linen,
shining silver and clear glass. A CEN
terpiece of fine embroidery and bowl
Of gay colored chrysanthemums add to
the attractiveness Of the table. Individ.
ual taste has wide range in table deco
ration. Each hostess will decide for
herself what to use in the way of din
ner cards, bonbons, bread and butter
plates and doilies.
If the dinner is served late in the
day, a pretty effect is made on the table
by the use Cf two silver candelabra with
wax candles the color of the flowers
used for decoration, or two little glass
lamps with colored shades can be placed
at each side Of the centerpiece.
Nothing can be handsomer on din
ner table than linen cloth of fine tex
ture and graceful pattern. 1t is wise to
avoid too much decoration and to ap-
proach simplicity, as the main object of
dining is to satisfy the appetite and not
to tire the eye with elaborate adorn-
ment. After the table is arranged the
dishes needed for serving the dinner
should be placed on a side table or in
the kitchen pantry. Everything should
be at hand SO that the waitress can give
her attention to the table service.
There are certain time honored sta
pies which are expected to form part
Of every Thanksgiving dim, :, such as
turkey, cranberry sauce and pies. Years
ago it was the custom to load the table
with dainties of every description. The
European fashion of serving Il dinner iii
courses has come more and more into
favor and has much to recommend it.
The eye is not bewildered by such All
array of food there is more space on
the table, and a waitress can serve the
dinner in courses more easily.
The following menu preserves the
maiu features Of the old fashioned dim
ner and adds some modern notions:
oysters on the half shell.
Horse radish.
Consomme Juienne Drowned crackers.
Roast turkey, cranberry sauce.
Celery.
Riced potato Baked squash Crcamed onions.
Bread and butter. Sandwiches.

A Repeating Tack Hammer,

An invention has been perfected that
does away with the necessity Of the
housewife leaving the saucer or paper
of tacks eternally standing around in
unexpected places when carpets are be-
ing put down. 1t is a repeating tack
hammer, which, as described by tho
New York Journal, consists Of reser-
voir designed to feed tacks through the
throat of the instrument, combined with
small electric motor which upon re-
leasing the lever strikes the tack blow,
driving it into whatever material the
instrument may be held against. The
current for the operation of the motor
is supplied by means of flexible cords
connected to any source of current that
may be available. All that is necessary
for the operator to do is to place the
throat of the instrument at whatever
point it is desired to place tack Or
other small nail. pull the lever, and the
operation is completed.

THE crRRENcY QUESTION.

Between now and the regular session OF
Congress In December. the matter OF cur
rency reform Is likely TO be well sifted
and the people will be afforded oppor-
tunity for thorough study Of It,
Two bills were introduced In the House
as the end of tho extraordinary session
designed to provide for currency COM
m ission TO look into the matter. One OF
those the House passed.
In the Senate the Presidents message
making a proposition 90 the same end
went to committee
1t may be said that with tariff bill
that shall provide revenue for the
government sufficient To meet the expen-
ditures and place the business of the
country Oh prosperous basis, the cur
renoy question is not so vitally important
as it was when the treasury was piling
up a debt and borrowing millions.
When IA mans business Is running bo-
hind, his flnanciering methods are highly
important.
1t is the same with government.
Our currency system is doubtless in
need Of Improvement
How much or how radical are tho
changes needed are the details now open
for discussion.
Fortunately, ample time may now be
taken for the discussion.
The new tariff promises relief of the
strain on the currency system by furnish
ing revenues in such amount that they
may be depended upon 20 carry the gov
ernment along comfortably while we talk
about the ourrency-as was the situation
in times before the Wilson law. when
nobody but the experts bothered them
selves about the kind of money we had.
and we heard little OF gold or green backs.
Plenty of business, ample revenues, re-
lief from the necessity of bonding and
dnancieriDg. All this makes the currency
question an issue that may be met
squarely and without danger of confusion.
