oyster. Six oysters should be served
to each person, and they should be

lemon and horseradish served with
them.

GOOD GAMES FOR
THE AFTERNOON.

After the big Thanksgiving dinner
has been disposed of, the young folks
will want to be entertained in some
other way. Let the fun begin with
rousing game called the Turk-he. For
this huge turban is made of newspa-
per, and lots are cast to decide who
will first wear it. The person to whom
the chance falls then dons the cap,
and is known as his sublime highness
the great Turk-he The Turk-he mar
shals all the company into a half cir
Gle before him. He begins at once to
put questions to his subjects. The
rule of the game DEGREES that if the
Turk-he asks a question in which the
words and" eff" why" will or
don't" one or all of them figure, the
subject remains silent. If the SEN
tence contains none of these words,
the subject is obliged to answer i'm
mediately. The excitement of the
game consists in the rapidity in which
the questions are put. and the neces-
sity of answering without much re-
Election. Any player who fails to an
swer when he should, or who answers
when he should not, is obliged to per-
form some ludicrous feat by order of
the Turk-he.
Drawing Turkeys.
For the next game give each player
a card cut from a sheet of cardboard.
Each card should have a wee dance
pencil attached to it with ribbon. Now
have all the company blindfold them
selves with handkerchiefs or scarfs.
At a given signal all begin to draw
without removing the bandages. The
drawing is made upon the cards with
the little pencils provided. The sub
ject announced is THE Thanksgiving
Turkey" Each player endeavors to
draw an excellent picture of the No
vember bird without being able to fol-
low the strokes of his pencil. Each
artist signs his picture with his own
name. At the end of five minutes the
cards are collected by the director and
bandages removed. A committee Of
three persons, who have not entered
into the game, pronounce upon the
productions. A prize is given to the
blind artist, whose work is pronounced
the best.
Spelling turkey"
Get a box of anagram letters and
you are ready for still another mirth-
provoking game. Pour the chips into
a paper or cloth bag, and shake up
well, in order to break up all former
combinations. Each person in turn
puts his hand into the bag and takes
out one chip. This continues until no
chips remain. Great secrecy must be
observed. no player allowing any 9TH
er player a glimpse of his chips.
When all the chips have been dis
tributed the players sit or stand in a
circle, and the object Of the game is
explained. Everyone is to try to be
first in forming the word turkey
with the letters. This can be done
through the passing of the chips from
one person to another. Each player
passes to his lefthand neighbor
the letter which he thinks he is less
likely to need This passing must be
continuous. A player is not allowed to
retain a letter because he thinks he
may require it by and by. If it is not

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new thing
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at onces.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be be superior to
any other brand, but because each Toe
package contains Is ozs.. while all the
other kinds contain but IL oZs. II is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other.

Fish timbale can be made of cod,
halibut or white fish. 1t is essential
that the meat of the fish should be
perfectly white. Cut one pound of
very fresh uncooked fish into small
pieces. put it into a mortar and pound
until the fiber is well settled in the
meat; then press it through a PURGE
sieve; to every cupful of fish add one
tablespoonful of bread crumbs soaked
in milk or cream until soft, and then
press through a sieve; add also the
beaten yolk of one egg, ten drops of
onion juice, one teaspoonful of salt,
one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper and
a dash of nutmeg.
Beat all well together and for some
time to make it light. Then for ev-
cry cupful of pulp beat in lightly the
whites of two eggs whipped very stiff.
Put the mixture into a well-buttered
mold, filling it only three-quarters
full; set it into pan of warm water,
covering three-Quarters of the mold :;
cover the mold with creased paper
and place in moderate oven twenty
minutes. Do not let the water boil.
Turn the timbale onto hot dish and
pour over it lobster sauce.

For example, if the required ''t' and

obliged to pass on the II" but if he
holds the st" III" and 81" but not the
*" then the "e' must be passed,
unless he has another irrelevant let
ter to throw away instead. Ten min
utes, if the game is played rapidly, as
it should be, will decide the winning
of the prize. A box of sweetmeats
would be fetching as a reward of good
work in the game.

In the Tropics.

Think of saying 'armadillo day"
when you refer to turkey time.
Think of tanning yourself with one
hand while you pass the 'sapodillas"
on the "dia de gracias.''
Then spend the afternoon trying to
get cool in the shade of a palm
Do all this and imagine it is Thanks
giving day-if you can!
Yet that is what Uncle Sans proc
lamation has brought to thousands Of
his children.
Without the silver treble of single
sleigh bell, or the glory of a football
fight. Thanksgiving remains Thanks
giving still, If but the noble bird is
spared to us. Bare as the attic may
be, if the charitable visitor send but
neatly plucked bird and kindling
wood, heaven will provide the match,
and Thanksgiving day is a reality.
Imagine, however, sitting down to a
table coldly furnished forth with
baked armadillo, which" Sir Walter
Raleigh tells us. hath scales like to
the rhinoceros."
No wonder the Porto Ricans and the
Filipinos were suspicious-as they
were, at f1rst-of this feast day. They
had no childish memories of long snug
rides tucked down under buffalo
robe along with the foot warmer and
a basket of oranges; of the delicious
snow-padded bumps over uneven roads
in the journey to grandpa's. They had
never grown hoarse with yelling on
the side lines, nor roasted chestnuts
with their cousins-or someone else's
while the dial indexed nearer and
nearer to the Friday that meant mo
more Thanksgiving for another year"
Filipinos, accustomed to the empty
holidays of the Spanish calendar,
found it hard at first to believe in the
good intentions of a fiesta" that real
ly meant a feast The glorious
Fourth, the 'Cuatro de Julio" as they
call it. with its firecrackers and half
day of idleness. its DANA" and its
surreptitious cockfght in the evening,
had introduced no novelty. They took
to it as a duck to it's hereditary mill
pond. 1t will require as many moons
for them to develop Thanksgiving
tradition as to learn how to wear a
frock coat without it's sagging And
when they do, it will have to be ira
dition of yams and baked banana and
guava instead Of cranberries, and
palm-leaf fans instead of buffalo robes.
1t will always be, in short, the dreamy
Fiesta" of the tropics at 80 degrees
in the shade. instead of the brisk en-
thusiasm of the Northern Thanksgiv-
ing.
