Yesterday was a typical Thanks
giving day. Al about 7 o'clock In
the morning snow began to fall and
by noon the ground was covered
with the beautiful. The atmos
phere was cool and bracing through
out the day. But few strangers
were In the city and but few OF our
citizens were absent. They doubt
less preferred to spend their
Thanksgiving at home. Services
were held In the morning at St
Paul's, Holy Rosary and Presby-
terian churches. Each edi6ce had
fairly good congregations. At noon
all business suspended and the re-
mainder If the day was enjoyed at
numerous diversions of pleasant,
social nature. Many In the eve
ming attended the production of "a
Life's Mistake" at the Auditorium,
and were highly pleased with the
entertainment.
As Thanksgiving day Is one
which the majority Of people spend
in the bosom of their family, there
Is little scheduled tor society, with
the exception OF these pleasant
home gatherings. There are some
persons who regret that this feature
has such a strong hold on the
American people as 1t interferes
sadly with the gaieties of a more
formal nature. But after all, there
Is nothing so enjoyable as the
gathering of families ard intimate
friends as 1t gives one the feeling
that, for the time being, the hust.
ling, bustling world can 60 It's own
way, and give those who are part
of Its busy interests time to rest by
.he wayslde. The time has come
In Sistersvllle when such occasions
as those mentioned are about the
only time that the old time friends
renew past friendships, which Is
undoubtedly the most pleasant
feature of any holiday.

Reunion OF the Talbot Family

Yesterday after church services
all memebers of the Talbot family
residing In this city, went across
the river to the old Talbot home
stead, now the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Talbot. Dinner was
served soon after the guests arrived,
but none too soon for the little
ones and we might add for the
grown folks, too, for after walking
good mile we had acquired appe-
tites for which they were truly
thankful, when they were shown
into the dining room, the little
ones, goiog first by twos, the
tables presented such a beautiful
appearance we could only stand
and admire, loalhe to disarrange
the artistic setting of the tables.
The children had no eyes for any
thing but the little roasted pig with
the red apple In his mouth and In
deed he was beauty. The centre
piece consisted of a pumpkin filled
with many kinds of fruit surround
ed by corn. When the plates were
bountifully filled we found the
pretty things were not made to
look upon only but were more than
pleasing to the taste. When we
had eaten all we could comfortably
and some we fear were uncom-
Portable we went to the old
hill where we had so many times In
years gone by coasted down, and 1t
seemed almost as nice as In the old
days, but some of as had grown so
old we had forgotten how to stay
on the sled and rolled of and down
the hill without help much to the
merriment of all the others. After
some target shooting we found ,he
afternoon had about gone, and we
returned home thankful for day
we could look back to a childhood
and also thankful the old home
stead was still In the family and oc-
cupied by members who enjoyed
having Us all there.
Those present were Mr.. aud Mrs.
John Talbott's mother, brothers
and sisters, nieces and nephews.

PARASOLS AND FANS
Summer Girls Craze for
Things Japanese.
HANDLES ARE COSTLY
ORIENTAL MoUNTINGs ARE VERY
EXPENSIVE.
What Will Be Popular for All Occa-
sions the Next Four
Months.

The custom of going bareheaded promises
to be more than ever widely followed this
season. 1t is pretty fashion, for never
does a woman look more beautiful and
charming than when the summer wind
blows her hair in soft confusion around
her forehead. But she who has some
thought for her complexion will take a
parasol in place of the discarded hat.
Freckles are not becoming, nor is a coat of
tan a desirable addition to an autumn
toilet.
Even apart from such considerations. the
summer parasols are sufficiently alluring.
What feminine eye can resist their beauty
of coloring or bewilderment of ruffles? So
impossible is it to pick and choose among
them that 1t Is well that the smart woman
must have number to complete her toilet
The silk coaching parasols are the SIM

come in bright checks-red and white, blue
and white, green and white, red and blue
and many other combinations, with four

border of the check. In the same class
with these are the tartan plaids. They are
very striking with a border of solid color.
To match the pongee silk gowns are para
soils of the same material, either plain or
with a border of narrow contrasting
stripes. All of these silk parasols are for
rain as well as shine, and are, therefore,
practicable for everyday use.
Nor must the mercerized linen and cot
ton parasols be overlooked. They are prov
ing popular. Certainly they give the last
touch of elegance when made to match

pretty sure that her parasol will not be
duplicated and this alone Is balm to her

are reasonable in price, even when made to
