riage. She was a woman of good
deal of force of character, and no one
in the neighborhood had nimbler
tongue. One evening about two weeks
before Thanksgiving I said to her:
do the people observe Thanksgiving
very generally in this neighborhood?"
''No, they do not" replied the old lady
with considerable emphasis. .And it
has always been a good deal of a trial
to me that SO little attention was paid
to a day that we made SO much Of back
there in dear old New England. 1t was
the greatest holiday of the year to
us, and how we did enjoy it'll"
why do they pay so little attention
to it here?"
"Well, I guess it is just because they
have never got in the way of paying
any attention to it. They never cele-
brated the Fourth of July as it ought
to be celebrated until my husband got

fore he died, and now we have a big
celebration every year."

I reflected for few minutes, and
then said:
Suppose we start them of in that
direction"

her knitting into her lap and mani

the folks in the district to come and
bring their dinner with them. There
does not seem to be any social life in
the neighborhood unless one can call
occasional spelling matches and sing
ing schools in the schoolhouse social di-
versions. The people never eat and
drink together in a merrymaking of
any kind. Don't, you think that the
idea of Thanksgiving dinner in the

The old lady reflected for a moment
and then said:

folks would turn out big, only-only-"
'Only what?" l asked.
'sWell, the fact is. there are so many

who won't speak to his daughter be-
cause she married John Waters
against the squire's wishes. There was
nothing against John, excepting that
he was poor, and he had a brother that
had been in Jail. but John couldn't help
that, and he has done splendidly ever
since he married, and it is my opinion
that the squire would like to make up
with John and Nellie, only he is too
proud to make any advances, and they
won't either. Then there is Kate-Whit-

The schoolhouse was unusually large,
and there would be room for all if we
took out part of the seats. Three
days before Thanksgiving old Mrs.
Dorton said:
81 guess you'n have the house full

to-day, and she says that the whole

anyone does, for she spends most of
her time trotting about picking up
gossip and retailing it out again. She
is as good as the local columns of a
newspaper for giving news about what
folks are saying and doing, and she
says that the idea of the Thanksgiving
dinner in the schoolhouse has caught
like wildfire. Nancy says she wouldn't
miss it for party"
The larger boys and girls of the
school met me at the schoolhouse the
evening before Thanksgiving, and we
decorated the room beautifully with
evergreens and several flags we had
been able to borrow. Provision had
been made for two long tables to run
almost the entire length of the room
with some smaller tables in the cor
ners.

careful how we seat the people at the
tables" I said to Mrs Dorton.

the old lady. 81 know the people bet

Nancy Ross was right when she said
that the whole district would be pres

at one o'clock. and by noon the house
was filled by merry, happy crowd. in
