4, the woman who works. It also brings
her the unusual luxury of social dinner.
AS a rule, she must content herself with
a cold lunch of else hasti:y-eaHn res
taurant dinner. 1t is. indeed then. with
really thankful heart that this woman
partakes of the Thanksgiving turkey.
| Not that she likes the good things bet
! ter than otftrs, and not that she is III

ner table and know that there is no haste

with whom she may converse is very
/ peasant There is yet another treat in
store for this habitual!y busy woman
On this the sole holiday Of all the gol-
den autumn time may she go forth and
list to Natures teachings" Ont from
the city, after dinner she goes into
some nearby park, or better still. into
the real country, and there alone with
the spirit of the wood she holds COM
munion with things invisible She feasts
her city-tired eyes upon the Intense blue
OF the sky and ever sees beauty In the
dcnu6ed trees. She rustles her feet
through the fallen leaves with childish
p'earure. while into her heart come glad
mi I1ories of by-ronn dnys and tears OF
terGercst Joy to rise unbidden to her ewes
All strife is forcotten. ambitious desires
and greed of gold are banished. and all
is very still. But tkr sun has set and she
must go homeward. With q last lingering
look at the glowing western sky. re-
sp'endent with crimson and gold. grad

sets out briskly for her return walk.

THE SCHOOL BOYS.
The school boys holiday. be it Thanks
giving Christmas. circus or Saints day.
Is always red-let+er dav. literally. to
this happy youngster. Perhaps Christ
mas and Thanksgiving slightly outweigh
the others. since to the Joy OF freedom is
added the bliss of countless pies and
Gales ard other good things dear to the
palate Of this embrvo statesman. prfach-
er or politician. What nifty 1t is that
the careless davs of childhood are Only
apprcc:ated when knowledge and care
have left their in6rli'''e traces upon the
tablets of cur life, What could be more
de"rhtful THAI to lay aside our world
wisdom. our di~trust. cur sin. our sor-
row ard our sad r7eo1ccscs and be chlid
a~o'n for ore glad holiday!
