Thanksgiving Day entertainment.

Thanksgiving Day Entertainment.
Thanksgiving Day brings with II
worries for the housewife as to how
to make the dinner a success. Friends
from out Of town are invited and ey-
erything should pass of satisfsctori-
". It is none too soon to be planning
table decorations especially if the
clever brains and fingers do not want
a wild rush at the last minute.
From the very best linen down to
the place cards and centre decorations
all must be inspected and provided.
To the woman who has def fingers
with the paint brush, all sorts Of pos
sibi1ftfes loom forth for original work,
while the shops are replete with nov
elites. Place cards can be had in the
shape of miniature pigs Others are
turkeys and geese Some of these are
hand-painted and are very effective.
To cause some amusement it is an
excellent idea to take the initial OF
each persons name, and with these
as initial letters write a phrase de-
scription of the person who is to oc-
cupy that place. Thus, if mans ini-
tails are e. M, and his hobby is well
known to his hostess, he might find
a card on which is written "Eyerlast-
ing Music" A girls initials may be,
for instance, A. L.. f. and, amid
much laughter, she might be forced
to accept phrase marked, "Arrant
Little FIirt, and so on all around the
table until each person. finds, or is as
sisted in finding, his or her place
A good way Of initial treatment is
to write verses, each Line to begin
with one initial of the victims name.
A pretty idea is for each guest to
write a Thanksgiving sentiment, or a
cause for thankfulness On a slip of
paper. These are collected in a bowl
and drawn forth and read one at
time, while everyone tries to discov-
er the author

NEW YEARS CALLS
A New Drink to Replace the Old
Time "Apple-Jack."

twenty-five years ago the custom
Of making New Years calls was de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog"
or ''apple-jack'' than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charita-
BILE and the gentlemen tried to be as
chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable Improvement made in
the last quarter of a century in the
use of alcoholic beverages, let him
stop to consider, among other things,
the fact that the old custom Of New
Years calls and the genteel tipping
is nearly obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning Of
the new year, is a good habit, and
another good habit to start at that
time is the use of well-made Postum
instead Of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a sensi-
BILE daughter who has set Postum be-
fore her guests as good thing to
drink at Yule Tide. and a good way
to begin the New Year Her father
writes:
nv daughter and I have used
Postum for some time past and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material.
Il shall not only recommend it to
my patients, but my daughter will be
most pleased to give demonstration
of Postum to our Christmas and New
Years callers" Read THE Road to

In all the village of Fairview there
was no man quite so shy as Jonas
Brown. AS a child he became speech
less with confusion when any enc
noticed him; he stumbled and stam-
mered his way through the gawky agei
and when he arrived at young man
hood, although he was popular among
his sex, the sight Of girls face
would throw him into an agony u
selfcoasciousness He usually took
to the other side Of the road when he
saw a Young woman approaching.
Every one wondered what should hap
pen should Jonas fan in love. AT
length the day came, says the Youths
Companion
Arabella Hawkins was an attrac-
tive girl from a neighboring town, as
pretty as she was laxative, and Jonas,
who first saw her at church, was cap
tiyated by her charms a few days
later he astonished an Fairyiew by
walking home with her, and capped
that performance b. several tentative
evening calls But whether he
strolled down fiowery lanes, or sat
with her on the porch in the, even

seemed to stick in his throat.

mered on one Of these occasions.
Gould l what?" she queried.
Gould you-could you-go driv-

1t was not at all what he had
meant to say; but he vaguely felt
that perhaps in a buggy it would be
easier to ask the momentous ques-
ton. Yet even there words failed
him.

"Will / what?p encouraged Arabel-

smother" will you-take a walk with
me tomorrow"
Certainly, said ArabeIla. And
so it went on. Jonas WAS getting
desperate.
Better hurry up, Jonash' his friends
urged him. There's a fellow in the
town where she lives wants her just
as much as you dol"
Jonas groaned. What was to be
done? He could rehearse it all right
before ne saw her, but in her presence
words failed him. All ONE night he
lay thinking the matter over, and
rose the next morning weary yet tri-
umphant He believed that he had
solved the problem.
A few days later a crate arrived
for him. Looks as if it might be
a typewriter" said the station agent.
Still, as Jonas was not given to liter
airy pursuits, this guess seemed rather
improbable.
That night Arabella was reused from
sleep by voice beneath her window.
Slipping on kimono, she leaned
out to listen. The tones of Jonas,
a bit more nasal than she had ever
heard them, reached her ear.
Il love you" the voice in the dark

few moments later Jonas trudged home
with his phonograph under his arm.

muttered.
