HENA turned back to the dresser where
Aunt Marcia was deep in the sweet
~ mysteries Of fruit cake. Cant a
person be thankful in any other way than
TO pile up wonderful dishes until the very
tables groan, auntie! 1t just looks to me
Like an offering TO appetite"
Child" exclaimed Mrs. Marcia Steven

in the currant bag, who could have a
Thanksgiving without a fine dinner! Be.
sides, there's the Sermon" and she looked
rather quizzically at her progressive niece.
ooh, yes; l know there's a devotional
frontispiece."
There was a queer little vein Of sarcasm in
the girls reply, which augured anything but
case Of conscience for the insincere.
The foury hand was slowly withdrawn
from the fruit bag, overlooking with the
sugary contents, and a half puzzled look
crossed the face Of the cake baker, but no
response was forthcoming.
In the silence which followed Lena went
softly upstairs, the spicy appetizing odors
Of Thanksgiving preparations following her,
as II to sanction her convictions.
Il don't care; | believe | am right" she
said, experimenting the conversation Of the
kitchen TO suit herself. Now, there's Aunt
Marcia, for instance" and she waved her
hand toward the stairway as If to call the
attention Of invisible auditors. she always
makes such a great parade of her dainties
on Thanksgiving and never mentions the
sermon unless 1t be. indeed, to hope the
minister will get through before the turkey
is overdone.' And then" giving a knowing
nod to the face in the mirror opposite,
there's her annual jar Of extra favored
mincemeat expressly for Thanksgiving pies"
remembering the blue jar on the back Of
the dresser.
There's no devotion in that, Of course
not; but / notice that every matron
in. the neighborhood lie made aware Of the
delicious fact in a way which would xii
a Thanksgiving spirit stone dead. Every
lady in Orne is familiar with even the label
My Thanksgiving Jar but I never hearc
her say she was thankful to one of them"
Then her tone changed to one of loving
caress, and she took from the mantel a beau
tiful blue china rose jar and peeped into il
with glad, beaming eyes. IL don't know how

the overflow Of thankfulness by tripping the
fest to rhythm of Uncle Jake's violin, WHY
the tables would be cleared in season and
preparations made.
In due time the day set apart by the pres,
ident Of the United States and the people
OF Orne arrived. The conventional "sift OF

doubled on her former efforts and the merry
jinglng Of ~sleighbells gave ian extra" to
the occasion
Everybody was h%ilariously glad; even
Aunt Marcia smiled religiously and hummed
Praise God, from Whomal all blessings flow"
as she ambled from pantry to kitchen and
from kitchen to dining room, overseeing the
packing Of baskets and dishes destined for
the hall.

whether the Allison girls wear their new

Having charged her niece thus, she moved
away on festivities intent. lena shut the
hall door with a little more than usual vigor,
her thoughts about evenly divided between
the one hundred and third Palm and Aunt
Asrcia's devotion.
After services, and just as Lena had fin.
ishsd making a mental note Of the fact that
Mn. Allison wore her old bonnet, but that
the Allison girls were Rrrayed in the afore,

sleeve.
"How do you like the new phase Of Orne's

A sweet flush went over the fair cheek Al
she remembered that somewhere near tn,
bottom Of the blue china rose jar Ben wa,
mentioned az the" blessing of her life
And all Orne had mentioned the matter also,
but a little differently, when the prophecy
went forth that wedding bells would ring
before Christmas"
Uncle Leonard wal preparing to 90 over
to the hall when a CHEEKY voice came mer.
rily through the kitchen doorway. "Miss
Lena wants the blue jar; some sort Of a
Thanksgiving institution. She forgot it this
morning"
"All right" answered Uncle Leonard from
the sltting-room, where he was putting on
his overshoes. He was very busy with a
refractory buckle and did not notice that
Ben went lightly upstairs and hurried out
with the desired article in a trice.
BY and by the buckle was adjusted and
Uncle Leonard came out and cogitated.
The Thanksgiving institution, " he said,
half aloud; that means Marcia's extra

couldn't find that jar in the darkest night,

Industrial Home Dedicated in South

work for the uplifting of negro children was
inaugurated today, when the South Caro-
lima Industrial Home for Negro Boys and

ter, near this city. In August while at
Mortified Summer school, Carroll received
a donation from Mrs. ]. Lewis Crozer, of
Upland, Pa With this he bought Abe
