cloth strip and fasten. Simmer very
gently for twenty minutes. remove the
cloth, and lay on a long platter; cut In
pieces four inches long, but do not sepa-
rate them; cover with a rich white sauce
and serve very hot. Omit this entree II
1T ID too difficult to manage. or substi-
tute asparagus with butter sauce
q Glazed turnips are such an old-fashion-
ed feature OF a Thanksgiving dinner that
they should not be omitted, but disre-
gard the; other old fashion OF having in
addition half a dozen vegetables the
dinner Is too long and heavy to have more
than one. Stuff the turkey with either
oysters or c1estnuts. and serve with
gblet sauce. Set the cranberry Jelly in
very small individual Inoulds, and pass
on a round. fiat glass dish.
Sherbeti Is not seen as often as formerly
on the dinner-table, but with SO many
solid dishes 1t will be found an agree
able and cooling course for once a good
Roman punchaors an. orange Ice will be

USUAL. AZ iss
The salad. which is passed with the
quail has a new feature; after the Shred
ded celery has been dressed and chilled
1t Is sprinhled all over With the tiny,
onions no larger than French pease which
come bottled from Germany; the taste is
so delicate as to be scarcely perceptlblc,
but still It Is enough TO give a new flavor
particularly good with game.
Send the mincc pie to the table blazing.
and III order to prevent the flame from
dying down too soon, surround the plh
with a circle OF overlapping pieces OF
cut sugar. we'll saturated with the brandy
or alcohol The hot, mulled cider which
has been served with the turkey may
again appear with tho mlnce pie. After
this comes the ice-crean. In pumpkin
forms, or In artificial pumpkins. or in
one large pumpkin mould. Any rich
French cream will do. highly colored with
orange.
Instead Of serving sailed almonds
through the dinner try using a mixture.
OF all sorts of nuts-pecans large all
l11onds, English walnuts, and fllberts; It
makes a pleasant change. Pass the bon
hons with the coffee, and II your ia BILE
is all In yellow, have only yellow and
white, or yellow and chocolate, candies.
Something Colonial by way OF decola-
ton is always IN order on this day. A
pretty centrepiece may be made OF wheat
and small artificial pumpklns-the wheat,
bought at the florists in n set piece, will
need to be opened and rearranged in a..
small sheaf. Smaller sheaves may be
set down the length OF the table II 1t is
sufficiently long, and the yellow may be
still further carried out IN bonbons and
= In the candles and shades, and the Ices
may he served either In little pumpkins
or may be moulded in that shape. a
tiny card bearing the name OF the guest
may be- tied with yellow ribbon around
the mock Of a small turkey and put be-
fore each cover. These turkeys. by the
way, come at all prices and in every
variety, from the little feathered fowl
which costs but a few cents to a really
artistic Iridescent bronze bird which will
serve as a paper-weight later on.
The Colonial idea may be suggested in
the sherbet-cups made of black paper In.
4 the form OF quaint hats, such as John
Alden wore: a spra or two OF the wheat
! may lie under each hat with good effect.
The hot mulled cider or claret3 served
with this dinner Will be especially nice II
offered In the new and cheap but very
artistic Colonial pressed glass which may
( be had in any Of our shops. "a
