THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS
Centrepieces of Chrysanthemums and An.
tumn Leaves-Pretty Favors.

Thanksgiving dinner tables are some,im..
little hard to decorate. for the reason that wbs,
a big family connection is to foregather for ,ba
Thanksgiving feast the table has TO be a. uucb
larger one than is commonly seen. Flowsra
which might be most effective on a table ss,
for four dwindle away into insignihcancs when
that table is extended to accommodate fourteen
so the Thanksgiving hostess has to be on he,
guard to get enough decoration as well as n.
right kind.
Nothing handsomer or more appropriate can
be found than the rich bronze. wine color and
rusSet of autumn leaves. alone or IN comblna-
ton with the yellow chrysanthenums which are
popular this year
Bunches Of richly colored autumn leave,
placed in brass, copper, glass or even china
bowls and massed in the centre of the cloth
have all the decorative value OF flowers. Or
they may be arranged quite as If they wers
flowers In decorative tall vases. except tha.
anything high on dinner table Is almost sure
to interfere with somebody's line or vision be-
sides standing a good chance Of being knocked
over before the meal is finished.
If there be a chandelier or drop light over
the table much of the floral decoration may be
centred there, where il is not only tremendously
effective but out Of everybOdy'S way-no small
desideratum where, as Nually happens there
deIier in leaves, and underneath arrange a
pumpkin centrepiece cut out TO form dish and
holding fruit. and YOU get stunning effect.

a small horn of plenty az each cover by way
OF a favor.
A pretty notion is TO keep the centre Of the
table for flowers, but TO place at each cover
one Of the tiny pumpkin favors filed with bon
bons or nuts and ra1sinS-
Whatever one selects, simplicity should be the
keynote. A fiat, oval mass of autumn leaves
with several fine large chrysanthemums stand
ing, out on top, Is simple but effective.
A medium tall cutglasS vase containing Two
or three large chrysanthemums may De placed

ATHLETICS 1T H4RV4RD
Board Of OUerseers Postpone 4ction
on intercollegiate Sports.

Boston. Nov. 2t--A motion empowering the
Harvard athletic committee to authorize dates
for athletic sports from December i to July 1,
1907. during which time the governing boards Of
the university will further consider the general
question Of athletics, including the regulation OF
football was adopted to-day at a meeting Of the
board of overseers of Harvard.
This action is in concurrence with a. recon-
mendation recently made by the corporation Of
the college. Under previous vote the authority
OF the present athletic committee terminates on
December / Of this year.
Whhher football will be permitted at Harvard
next season is still an open question, as the spe-
cial joint committee appointed from the cor
poration and the board of overseers to investi-
gate and report on the general subject of ath-
Ietic control on December 1 now has seven more
months to consider the matter. The alleged
abuses in football contests which were especially
put forward by President Eliot formed the prtn-
cipal basis for limiting the authority of the ath-
letic committee, which has absolute authority
upon all athletic questions.
The particular question of football was not
discussed in any way at to-day's session of the
overseers.
