Popular Separate sIouses.

Again and again it has been prophe-
sled that the separate blouses must be
put one side, but as yet practical wom-
en- will not give them up. The inbe-
tween blouses, dressy enough for the
alter or luncheons, but high-necked and
long sleeved, seem to get prettier and
prettier. The lovelest of them all
are made Of those exquisite Powered
silks-with shadowy flowers that fade
in out of the background in so artistic
way. Those exquisite soft crepes
with flower prints are charming
draped and trimmed with tiny hand
run tucks, or puffigs, or lace. Soft
drapy silks are very good-but so are
stiff silks, and a combination Of both.
The soft chiffon failles, in exquisite
ly soft shades of pink, or blue, or VIC
let, make up into beautiful blouses.
But. besides silk, soft fine wooden
stuffs-mostly white, are being used a
great deal. Albatross, silk-and-wool
stuffs, soft wool crepes and a dozen
others are made up into as attractive
blouses, in their way. as the silks are
in theirs.

From the beginning, with but few
exceptions, Thanksgivings have been
kept In the late autumn, owing to the
harvest time, of course, and more fire.
quently toward the end of November.
No one knows how the custom of
appointing Thursday originated, but
some light is doubtless thrown on the
posal to change the day of the week.
about 1890. when the dissenters ar.
gued that Thursday was preferable,
because of the Thursday lectures or
midweek religious services, that took
place every week in communities of
considerable size, joint observance
of the two days rendering it unneces-
sary. Of course. for many to sacrifice
a days labor, especially for Thanks
giving.
Although the pilgrims were the first
to observe Thanksgiving on this con-
tinent, the Salem colonists, on their
voyage over here in 1929, observed
everybody, passengers, captain and
crew, took part, as an acknowledge
ment of a favorable breeze that had
followed a preceding day. Of fasting
and prayer.
Winthrop colony, In 1880, also OBJ
served Thanksgiving, apparently en-
tirely without any inspiration from
the pilgrims, but in accordance with
their former custom in England. the
motive in this case having been graf
itude for the safe arrival Of their fleet
at Charlestown, where purely relig
ious services were held beneath
tree, for it was in hot weather, July 8.
The Winthrop colony's second
Thanksgiving here, which is common.
ly spoken of by historians as their
first, was about eight months later,
Feb %, when having moved over to
the peninsula of Shawmut and taken

The colony probably comprised 200
or less, no church had yet been built,
and 1t Is doubtful if there was any
public religious observance of the
day. Neither can the bill of fare of
any of the households have been

Venison and other kinds of game.
During the succeeding fifty years
there appear to have been Thanksgiv-
ings averaging about once in two
years, and appointed to mark some
specific and remarkable event, as a
victory in the Indian wars, or a hap
py solution Of some troublesome prob
lem, either religious or political. Dur
ing all those years, and for many az
terward, fast days were even more
numerous than Thanksgiving, be-
cause the trials of the Puritans far
exceeded their blessings.
In some instances there were SER
ious differences between the general
court. which then appointed Thanks
givings, the magistrates and the min
isters-for the latter always advised
in the matter-as to which was prop
err for the occasion, thanksgiving or
a fast. 1t Is to be noted that the
custom of appointing a Thanksgiving
simply as an annual custom, and with
out regard to any specific or impor-
tant occasion was almost unknown
until we'll into the last century and
was never habitual till within the last
thirty years.
Indeed, the theory was advanced
more than 200 years ago that a too
frequent observance of Thanksgiving,
and for insufficient cause, tended to
make men too carnal-minded."
- A printed proclamation of that
Thanksgiving, the earliest broadside
of it's kind known to be in existence
now, Is in the library of the Massa-
chusetts historical society.
The general tone of the compo-
sition reminds one of another Thanks
giving, some years later, which was
observed only in Boston, for the pur-
pose of thanking heaven for. sparing
Boston, while Charlestown, across the
river, was threatened with depopula-
ton by the yellow fever.
A Boston menu of this period, which
is in striking contrast with the early
dinner of corned beef and mush,
enumerates roast beef, turkey pie,
boiled pork, fowls and tarts.
Plymouth, which was not yet united
to the Massachusetts colony, had its
Thanksgiving that year Aug. II, five
days after the killing of King Philip
in Rhode Island, and it so happened
that Major Church and his little band
of heroes arrived in Plymouth just at
the close of the Thanksgiving fore
noon service, bringing the great
chiefs head, which was borne by the
majors Indian guide, who had him
self shot Philip.

Digestion was facilitated by CO
pious drafts of ale, If it could be had

The household environment OF
those early Boston martyrs who had
come 5000 miles into the savage will
derness, to escape persecution, was
as rude and as simple as their bin OF
fare.
Household furniture there vas
practically aone. save table of rough
boards or planks, and enough tree
legged stools to accommodate the
members of the family. There were
tablecloths of very coarse linen, but
neither table knives nor forks, the
fingers and spoons of either wood or
iron meeting all the requirements or
the then prevailing table etiquette;
china was unknown, and as tea and
coffee had never been heard of, r.le
cream pitcher and the sugar bowl
were not needed. Trenehers, usea or
plates or platters, were made by
scooping out a hollow in a piece of
plank, about 10 or IL inches square.
For sixty or seventy years, if not
longer, the religious phase of Thanks
giving differed in no appreciable way
from Sunday, from six to seven hours
having been spent in church, divided
between forenoon and afternoon. It
Is evident that in those days the din
ner must have been decidedly a min
or affair. II was not till 1921 that
the afternoca service was abolished,
against vigorous protests from some
of the church members, although the
change was brought about by fear of
the smallpox, then prevalent in the
town.
A third Thanksgiving was observed
in the Massachusetts, colony Nov. II,
1851, to express the popular joy at
the arrival of Gov. Winthrop's wife
and another shipload of provisions
from the old country. Whatever may
have been the bill of fare of the av-
erage Boston family on that day. one
family, at least, must have enjoyed
bountiful and variegated dinner. for
the country people who poured into
Boston on the arrival of the ship. a

New Idea In Coat

A charming three-quarter-length
loose coat in brownish yellow liberty
velvet is cross between a surplice
and a kimono shape. 1t Is made In
one piece over the shoulders, that is,
the sleeves are part of the garment
proper. 1t has a square yoke of heavy
lace and is opened down the back and
laid in inverted plaits, the space be-
tween the opening filled in with a
wide band of Irish crochet mounted
on white satin. About the bottom Is
a wide band of the Irish crochet about
six inches deep, which is In turn
edged with three-inch band Of sable.
The lace runs down the sides of the
front. as does also the fur, which is
finished by a full jabot of plated
mousseline de sole.

Blouse or Shirt Waist.

I This shirt waist will be found most
excellent for all the waistings Of the
season, cotton. linen. silk and wool
and is as smart as it is simple, besides
suiting stout figures well. there beng
mo greater mistake extant than the
theory that such are at their best in
iplain waists. The wide tucks at the
front that give ample fullness below
the sttchings. and the broad box plat
at the center. are both new and desir-
able. and. combine most satisfactorily
with the plain back. The model is
made Of cheYiot. white with lines Of
blue. and Is worn with a blue linen
stock. But this last can be anything
one may prefer. or can pe omitted al
together In favor Of ribbon tied in a
big bow. although 1t really Is admir-
able both for this special waist and as

there can never be too many.

close scrutiny alone would show the
officer to be armed with anything
other than the old-fashioned mace.
The club, which is of ordinary appear.
ance, comprises a handle portion and

handle carries a hammer or trigger
mechanism. and when desired the han.
die and club may be separated and a
revolver cylinder applied between
them, thus converting the mace into

A Pretty Fall Fashion,

A pretty fashion which has been
started of late is that of wearing cock
AIDES Of colored velvet or ribbon, one
on the left side Of the corsage rather
high up, and the other on the right
side at the waist line. They are large
and are generally of a contrasting
color to that Of the gown with which
they are worn. Rosettes of burnt or
ange velvet make an exceedingly pref.
ty accompaniment to smart after
neon gown of brown plisse chiffon.

plaits at the lower edge. The model
Is made Of embroidered batiste, with
band of heavy lace applique, but all
the pretty soft stuffs-silk. wool, cot.
ton and linen-are equally appropri-
ate. The shirred yoke Is much liked
and Is always pretty when the figure
Is slender. but VIXEN, as often Is the
case in young girls, additional bulk
at the belt is to be avoided, the plain
yoke made Of lace or of other fancy
material is to be preferred.
The skirt is cut In one circular
piece, straight lengths Of the material
being sewed together to give the nee
essary width, and when shirred is ar
ranged over the foundation that also
serves for the plain yoke when shir-
rings are not used.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is 61a yards Fl

yards of applique and u yard of all
