cause of its resemblance to plum pud-
ding-not n canned plum pudding, but
one of these rotund, clock faced plum
buildings that beam upon you like old
friends and are eloquent in every raisin
and soulful in every plum. A good coat Of
arms for Thanksgiving day would be the
gobbler lying upon his back upon the dish
with plum pudding shaped ovally like a
football in its feet as if about to spin it
as circus acrobat does barrel on his
feet. 1t is Il great pity that the turkey
cannot feel the Thanksgiving joy that
he supplies with so lavish a generosity.
Headless and footless and with artificial
Intervals, he is a melody and dream
from the wrapper to the very core. And
now he is roosting on the bough lost in
sweet forgetfulncss and fitting in spirit
over the playground of memory. The crisp
wind causes the leaves to rustic weirdly,
but he notes not this music that seems
to come from the heart of nature. He
sees the rosy apples dotting the sward
ever and anon. and when he mods his
classic head and his wattles clash like a
pair of cymbals he continues to look as
if peering across the pensive fields
through the curtains of the past. Lucky
for him that he doesn't look into the fu-
ture and see himself the cynosure of all
eyes and mouths, the center Of the fam
lily circle whose smallest members are
waiting patiently to break his frail and
fragile wishbone while awaiting the ap-
pearance of the plum pudding.
That the turkey is the sole proprietor
of Thanksgiving day there can be no
doubt. Thanksgiving day was not made
to give him a reason for existence, but he
was probably hatched into the world to
make proper excuse for the invention
of this grand American holiday, which
was patented at Plymouth in 1920 and
is still paying handsome royalties to the
many descendants OF its creator.
