O. nAEDA L. CROKER "

I ENA turned back to the dresser where
Aunt Marcia was deep in the sweet
LIZ 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

rather quzzically at her progressive niece.
"Oh, yes; | know there's a devotional

There was queer little vein Of sarcasm in
the girls reply, which augured anything but
ease of conscience for the insincere.
The foury hand was slowly withdrawn
from the fruit bag, overlooking with the
sugary contents, and half puzzled look
crossed the face Of the cake baker, but M
response was forthcoming.
In the silence which followed Lena went
softly upstairs, the spicy appetizing odors
OF Thanksgiving preparations following her,
as if to sanction her convictions.
II 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 great parade OF her dainties
on Thanksgiving and never mentions the
sermon unless it be, indeed, to hope the
minister will get through before the turkey
is overdone.' And them" giving knowing
nod TO the face in the mirror opposite,

the dresser.
There's no devotion in that, of course
not; but ] notice that every matron
in the neighborhood is made aware of the
delicious fact in a way which would kill

lady in Orne is familiar with even the label,
