THANKSGIVING DINNER.
How the Good Housewife Prepared

Thanksgiving dinner in the olden
times made unusual demands even up
on the most efficient housewife, and the
serving Of a dinner to a family party
of from twenty-five to fifty persons in
a large kitchen of the old fashioned
farmhouse was no light task for the
mistress But the result was worth all
the trouble cntailed in the getting up
of such dinner. and the recollection
of me roast turkey. chicken pie. baked
Indian and rice buildings, pumpkin and
mince pies baked in the old fashioned
brick oven, with the other accessories
of the Thanksgiving dinner. has proved
powerful enough to bring back year
after year to sucn a homestead the sons
and daughters. the grandchildren, the
aunts, uncles and cousins who had gone
forth from it TO enter into the larger
life of the great cities. The brick oven
has practically disappeared, but the
culinary skill of the New England
housewife has not, and Thanksgiving
dinner is much the same as of old.
Even city folks who prefer a course

older style of serving dinner, and it is
this way which generally prevails on

Mr. Turkeys First Appearance.

The real origin of Thanksgiving as
a day specially set apart for prayer
and rejoicing must be attributed TO
Governor Bradford, the first governor
Of Massachusetts colony. In gratitude
for the plenteous harvest in 1921. fol
lowing upon a period of great depres-
sion, he proclaimed a day of thanks
giving TO be observed on Dec. 13 (old

sent out In search of game. They re-

Turkey without stuffing is an inno-
walton slow to win the approval of con-
servative housewives, but it is claimed
by the best authorities on cookery that
turkey, like game, should never be
stuffed If its finest davor is to be pre-
served. Dress as usual and place a
large spoonful of butter upon the
breast Put in a very hot oven for
thirty minutes that the outside may
scar over at once and retain the juice.
Diminish the heat and haste often with
the butter and fat that cooks from the
fowl. allowing twenty minutes cooking
to each pound of turkey, not counting
the first half hour. Should it be neces-
sary to turn the turkey while cooking
use a towel. Never stick it with fork
or allow the juice to escape. Sprinkle
with salt when nearly done.
For the gravy put the gizzard, heart
and liver on the fire in a quart of va
ter and cook until tender; then rem ave
and chop finely. When the turkey is
done, remove 1t to the serving dish,
pour all but tablespoonful of fat from
the pan, add a tablespoonful of flour
and cook for three minutes then add
the water in which the giblets We're
cooked, of which there should be a
pint If less, add water, stir until
smooth and add the chopped giblets
