Go into the foreign quarter of any
American city and ask an Italian or
Sav, or any other immigrant, wheth-
er he celebrates the Fourth of July,
ard he will shrug his shoulders as
he processes ignorance of the day, or
answers:
NO it's nothing to me-"
Ask him if he grows enthusiastic
over Decoration Day, and you will
find that it leaves him cold. But just
mention Thanksgiving Day, and his
lace will light up at once.
Yes" he will tell you. 1--WE eat
our Thanksgiving dinner like any
other Americans, and go to church and
give thanks, and have a good time
with the youngsters in the evening.
Thanksgiving Day means a lot to us,
loT we have much to be thankful for. "
~ ne immigrants catch the spirit OF
thanksgiving Day more quickly than
they do any other American institu-
tIoh. The new Americans acknowl-
euge that this is so by their deeds

Loose coats are the only ones for

attempt them.
Materials are legion this winter, and
all of the heavier cloths are being used
for the childrens coats. SILK is not
so fashionable as in other years, but
velvets and corduroys are being used
for girls Of all ages. They furnish a
rich background for the lace appliques

Great Choir i'm RuxAia,

Russia boasts the finest choir in
the world. The choir is attached to
the Cathedral of Alexander Nevski in
St. Petersburg, and is composed ex-
clusively of monks. There are about
80 members, who are trained for
their work as carefully as opera
singers. The rules of the Russian
choir forbid the monks to shave and
their hair is permitted to grow like
a woman's. They are fastidious and
put their hair and whiskers up in
papers every night, SO that it will Be
curly.

any Sunday evening walking down the
main street of Crawford in company
with one or more factory girls.
This time Barbara did not attempt
to avoid watching Hilda. A floor

same time, glanced sharply at the
young man; but he was apparently
buying something. The foorwalker

turned at the end of the counter, and
came back; and this time he looked
longer at the two girls, and finally
beckoned to the one behind the
counter. She turned very red, and
came over to where he stood. He
whispered something to her that
made her turn pale and instantly she
went back and completed the sale of
some little articles that Hilda had
bought, giving the aoor-walker, as
she did SO, several hateful looks.
Hilda and the young man contin-
ued to talk together while waiting
for the change. When it came, he
seemed to hesitate and finally looked
over at Barbara. Hilda said some
thing, and he answered and walked
slowly out of the store.
Barbara came over, and Hilda
picked up her purchases.
Are you ready?''

a word from the girl behind the coun-

They walked along for some dis

say: "Why didn't you introduce me
to your young gentleman friend?"
Hilda colored deeply as she an
swered slowly: II didn't suppose you
would care to know him."
"Why not?"
"Well, you're not really one of us, ~
said Hilda, looking sideways at Bar

Barbara could not help smiling.
