Where liberty is. there is enjoyment. at
least among rational people. The
Paris art students Thanksgiving feast
witnesses no long winded. awful
speeches. only laughter and eating and
drinking and impromptu wit. The So
ciety has been in existence about sew
enteen years. Sixteen years ago the
members resolved to have Thanks
giving dinner. How to get the cram
berry sauce. sweet potatoes and pump
kin pie and how to get the turkey
stuffed and cooked American style was
a problem unsolvable till the New York
Art Students league kindly announced
that it would send the whole dinner
ready cooked across the sea bodily for
its breathren in Paris. This was
actually done. and the feast was had
amid the joyous cries for more on the
part of the exi!ed Americans and the
inextricable confusion and bewilder-
T1ent of the French walters, who knew
no more what cranberry sauce and
sweet potatoes were than they knew
what heaven is like. And those stu
dents ate till one could not possibly tell
which was stuffed more, student or
turkey.
Since that first students dinner,
however. things have gone better.
French cooks have learned how to pre-
the. students quarter now make the
pumpkin pies and cranberry sauce.
Great men> of France, artists, states
men and litterateurs are always glad of
an invitation to attend these joyous, in
formal American students Thanksgiv-
ing dinners.
On the sea wherever an American
naval ship is there is Thanksgiving day
a memorable one. The seamen have
the best of that food which is consid-
cred good enough for common sailors.
Afterward they. have games and mu-
sic.
In the officers quarters the feast is
furnished with all the delicacies to be
got, both eatable and drinkable. After
the custom, stupid or not, according to
the result, speeches are made, toasts
are drunk as always, ending with the
traditional:
Here's to sweethearts and wives!"
In far away Manila Thanksgiving
day is observed lazily leisurely as is
fitting in land where nobody ever
hurries except Americans newly ar
rived The turkey, if there be any for
Thanksgiving in Manila, will be of the
cold storage variety, for this bird does
not thrive in the tropics. Otherwise
there will be chicken with rice and
curry, tomatoes, mangoes and bananas,
served by a solemn Tagalo waiter in a
flowing shirt outside Of his trousers,
his black head bowed submissive1y, his
brown feet thrust into soft slippers

The LITTLE HURTS.

They say the world is round, and yet
I often think it square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there
But one great truth in life I've found
While journeying to the west
The only folk who really wound
Are those we love Inc best.
Love does not grow on every tree
Nor true hearts yearly bloom.
Alas, for those who only. see
This cut across a tomb
But soon or late the fact grows plain
To all through sorrows test
The only folk who give us pain
Are those we love the best.

history of the United States The hot

FOR that let US give thanks.
The story of the evolution Of Thanks
giving day is part of the history OF the
growth and spread of the American
people
You would hardly think it to look at
Us now. but the Puritan ancestors OF
the American nation were very pious.
In the autumn of 1921 the first shipload

ing how they might have been Killed

way of the harvest home festival which
Is still observed in old England
Extremely interesting it is to trace
out how the Puritans gave to Thanks
giving its special dinner of turkey and
pumpkin pie. The stifs old gentlemen
in the tall hats and broad collars re-
Earded Christmas and its observance
as an invention Of popery therefore
abhorent and soul destroying. Any
body who ventured to wish them
merry Christmas would have been in
peril of the stock and of church dis
ciplining Still, even these iron headed
personages failed to crush out of them
selves the natural human longing for
an occasional holiday and merrymaking,
albeit theirs was rather saddish, ash
colored merrymaking whose brand
would not be recognized nowadays. So
the Puritan fathers turned loose on
Thanksgiving day all the feasting and
joy that other Christian peoples put
into Christmas A most important part
Of the New England colonists faith
consisted in knowing what not to do.
In no way must the usages of the
Church of England Christmas be pat

Thanksgiving remained chiefly a
New England local festival till 1888,
when George Washington as president
issued the first proclamation for its
observance by the whole nation He did
this by request of both houses of con-
gress. George Washington's original
proclamation is still in existence. In the
southern states Thanksgiving has
never been a special day for feasting
and family reunions. The churches are
open for religious services. but other
wise the day is not made so much of.

is a joyous and festive occasion, and

the day in his thought at least. while
he thaws out his can of pork and beans,
gnaws at so called desiccated eggs and
swallows tin cupfuls of tea. Some
times if the heartache for home be too
strong on him he likewise swallows
some whisky at rs cents a drink.
We are spread all over the earth now,
we Americans and wherever we are
on Thanksgiving we feast according to
the menu of the land we are in. In
