Miss Lucinda'S
Loot Brooch

Every Thanksgiving day brought the
,Pettibones together under the old home
roof. 1t was the great day of the year
for them, and nothing could bring keen
er disappointment to young or old than
to be prevented from celebrating it I'M
der the old time honored custom, which
they had been brought up to regard
quite as much in the light Of duty as a
pleasure.
Aunt Cindy. busy over the cOncoction
of the "punkin" pies for which she
was famous throughout all Lilbury
''and the region roundabout" was
thinking of dead and gone Thanksgiv-
ings. AS she beat bowl of eggs into
golden froth her thoughts went back to
that Thanksgiving day ten years ago
when a shadow fell upon her life-a
shadow that had never lifted. True, but
few eyes saw it nowadays, but it was
in her heart yet, and all the sunshine
of her quiet, peaceful life could not dis
pei it.
81 wonder what has become of him ?"
she said to herself as she sifted sugar
crystals into the foaming mass. "Per-
haps he's dead. Who knows? Ten
years is long time, and a great many
things may happen in them"
If tear or two fell into the bowl,
do not think the pies were any the
worse for them. Perhaps they gave
them better flavor.
Gle" was Robert Grant, and Robert
Grant had been her lover long ago.
Everybody had said sit was going to
be match" between them, and in this
case Everybody" had good reasons for
thinking so, for, though no formal en-
gagement had ever existed between
them, there had been. a tacit under
standing of the heart which it is never
necessary to put into words to make
ones meaning and intention plain. But
on that Thanksgiving day ten years
ago there had arisen some misunder-
standing which had parted them. Just
what it was about Lucinda could not
tell now as she thought about it. eve
were both so foolish, so unreasonable -
she had often told herself. "To think
of letting two lives be parted by some
thing so insignificant that neither fully
understood what it wasw

A careful search was made, but the
brooch was not to be found.
Thanksgiving day dawned clear and
beautiful, as all Thanksgiving day
mornings ought, to be In keeping with
the thoughts which come, or ought to
come, at such time.
"Now, Cindy, you run right up an git

Martha after breakfast. "Pll see to all

So Lucinda went up to her room and
"got ready" The dark wine colored
cashmere dress she donned was very
becoming to her fair complexion, with
soft frills of lace at throat and wrists.

Old Time THANKSGIVING Dinners.


A Thanksgiving dinner some 80 or
40 years ago would in all probability
have consisted of the following dishes:
Roast turkey, with rich gravy or sauce;
chicken pie, cold roast pig, mashed
potatoes and turnips, boiled onions.
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, mince
pie, baked Indian pudding, cider and
coffee. Sometimes oysters would be
added to the list of dishes, but in the
interior section Of the country these
were not easy to procure, and it was
the same with celery. 1t was not an
unusual thing for the boys of the fam
lily to travel % miles to procure celery
for the Thanksgiving dinner. Nuts,
raisins and fruit were generally re-
served for the evening, the midday
diners concerning themselves for the
most part with the more substantial
turkey and ''ixin's" so termed.

An Essay on Habit.

A schoolmaster once said to his pu-
pills that to the boy who would make
the best piece of composition in five
minutes on How to Overcome Habit"
he would give prize. When the five
minutes had expired, lad of years
stood up and said: We'll. sir, habit is
hard to overcome. If you take off the
first letter, it does not change 'abit.'
If you take off another, you still have a
bit left. II you take off still another,
the whole Of 1T remains. If you take
off another, 1t is not totally used up,
all Of which goes to show that If you
want to get rid of a habit you must
throw 1t Off altogether" Result, he
