THANKSGIVING
HOSPITALITY

The waning year grows brown and gray
and DUH.
And poets sing November bleak and
sere,
But from the bounteous garnered harvest
store.
with grateful hearts we draw Thanks
giving cheer.
Occasionally these days, we get a
glimpse of real old fashioned hospi-
tality, the kind that creeps right into
the marrow of your bones and makes
your blood Jingle with the true spirit
Of good fellowship.
Never is this feeling more universal
ly or potently expressed than on
Thanksgiving; the occasion for fes'
tive home gatherings, reunions. and
where strangers are made welcome
ms one of your own kin.
Lucky and blessed is the woman
who can extend hospitality on this
day, and lucky, too. is the host who
can preside at his own board, among
congenial spirits.

your guests at the table for three or
tour hours, as is frequently the case;
