Mr.. Fuller uses a portable creamery

ADJECTIVES AND THE EYES.
Various Colors and the Many Words
Used to Denote Their Expression.

Out Of a list of seventy adjectives
directly applied to gray eyes no fewer
than fifty are descriptive OF express
sion. Ii we may believe the evidence
OF these words, which were not care
fully selected, but jotted down at ran
dom in the course Of reading. says
Lippincott's Magazine, almost every
shade Of thought or feeling Is mir
rored in gray eyes, and not only 90
the words indicate great variety in
expression, but many of the qualities
which they represent seem diametrl-
cally opposed.
Gray eyes are reserved and candid;
cold and cordial; roguish and sad or
pathetic; grave and genial; sinister
and guileless; earnest, true, amlable;
proud yet tender They may be keen,
sharp. piercing, penetrating, but hey
are also soft, serene, mild, pensive.
dreamy, trustful. They are often
severe, yet as often are they sweet,
timid. wistful, appealing. or kindly,
beaming. loving, sympathetic.
tons Of blue. brown, or black eyes,
we shall find that these are brief COM
pared with the long and elaborate de-
scriptions of gray eyes and that they
usually refer to some popularity of
size, shape, coloring, or light, rather
than Of expression. A good example IS
the description OF Lorna Doone's large
dark eyes. full of a shadowy light
like wood rayed through with sun
set"
Brown and black eyes are almost
always represented az lustrous, while
luminous Is most frequently used IN
connection with gray eyes. Pathetic
Is perhaps the adjective Of expression
most often applied to brown eyes;
spiritual Is seldom used to describe
other than blue eyes, but to these also
belongs the bad eminence of being
shifty. while black eyes are distin-
guished in the same way by the word
beady. Gray eyes are perhaps often
est characterized as honest. and the
worst that Is commonly said of then.
Is that they are cold or steely.

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.

The first recorded instance Of any
thing in the nature Of thanksgiving
in the history of our country Is the
following entry In an old Bible be-
longing to one of the first pilgrims:
Some born TO Susanna White, De-
cember 18th, 1920, vt six o'clock
morning. Next day we meet for
prayer and thanksgiving. This
however, is not generally accepted
as the first observance Of that nature.
since it hardly partook Of the charac-
ter of general thanksgiving. But
Is months after the pilgrims sailed
from Holland they held a harvest fes-
tival which lasted week. This Is
generally spoken of as the first
Thanksgiving in New England, but it
was not day set apart by the COVER
nor. nor was 1t attended by any relig-
ious observance.
A few years later precisely the
same thing occurred. Thereupon July
so. 1923. was appointed as day of
thanksgiving, and before the second
sunset relief ship arrived. Fast
days and thanksgiving days came at

Irregular intervals for a number OF
years, the latter following some
marked event of benefcent nature,
such as getting rid Of Anne Hutchin-
son, whose preaching caused such a
turmoil in New England, for the ter
mination of King Philips war and
the close of the Revolution and the
triumph of independence in America.
Then came the practice Of the COVER
nor of each state naming a day for

custom has prevailed for consider
able time, and doubtless will prevail
for ages to come, Of the president ap-
pointing such day, generally the last
Thursday in November, to which the
governor u each state assents by
naming the same day. Thus there Is
one day each year when the As states
and the territories from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from British Amer
lea to the gulf return thanks to God
for his manifold blessings and mer-

PURITAN THANKSGIVING.

The Puritans, with their regard for
the vast Importance of sacred things,
insisted that religious service should
enter into the observance OF the day
picturesque simplicity and whole
souled devoutness linger about the
commemoration in the meeting house
of colonial times. There were two
services day Each of the sermons
was two hours long, and on Thanks
giving day the preacher was scrupul-
ously conscientious in improving the
opportunity which came to him only
once year.
The prayers and the psalms were Of
corresponding length. The church
was provided with square, boxlike
pews. The family sat around the
four sides, the children being placed
with their backs to the minister. A
most important functionary was the
tithing man, who tapped the heads
or the men who fell asleep during the
sermon with the ball-like end of his
staff Of office. The other end had a
tuft of feathers, with which he tickled
the drowsy women. The old time Pur-
itans were strenuously opposed to the
introduction Of instrumental music
into the church service.
Now and again a violin began to
creep in, to the disgust of many OF the
old preachers, one of whom is i'm
mortalized in history by his utterance,
We will now sing and fiddle the
Forty-fifth Psalm"
One ventures the opinion that the
atmosphere of the old Puritan church
on Thanksgiving day was hardly con-
ducive to cheerfulness of spirit. A
historian, writing of the Sabbath in
Puritan New England, remarks, THE
New England congregations piously
froze during service time we'll into
this century," The church in Brim-
field in 1919 refused to pay for stove,
and few years later, when a SUBJ
scription was made to buy church
stove, one old member refused to con-
tribute, saying good preaching kept
him hot enough without st9~es.-

HINTS FOR THE DAY.

Decorations for the Thanksgiving
dinner table should be OF distinguish
ing kind altogether different from
those of other occasions. Asters or
small chrysanthemums, unaltered by
admixture with Japanese stock, CON-
bined with hardy dog-tcoth fern,
might have decked the tables OF the
Puritans and can be appropriately used
now. A charming effect, trife un-
usual, can be made by arranging deep
red oak-leaves around a bowl OF pink
asters, the deep red leaves toning
beautifully with the lighter shade OF
the flowers. An interesting decoration
can be made with pumpkin as found

WHY WE ARE THANKFUL.

Cheerfulness rules the hour. The
whole world Is talking Turkey.
So far as the American people are
concerned no Thanksgiving Day in
many years has found them with
more or greater causes for grateful
rejoicing. The mighty machinery OF
industry, trade and commerce is once
more moving with new and daily
augmenting energy. The business skies
are clearing in all quarters, and the
sunshine of prosperity floods the land.
Party spirit Is at low ebb, and we
are apparently on the threshold of
an EZRA of good feeling" in which all
classes of the people will share the
blessings that flow from fixed and nor
NAL conditions of business.
