~PCLMATIER SISTERS
AT e HOUSE

~ HOOSG.
The Polmatier Sisters Concert Or.
chestra company made good in the
entertainment at the Opera House last
night, as their friends said they would.
d~elightlng one of the largest auditnces
of the season in enc of the most pleas
ing programs ever rendered here. The
company played here May 3 of last
year, under the auspices of Damon
lodge, knights of Pythias, and at that
time it was said of them that the sis
tiers were without superiors. The pro-
gram last night was even more pleas
ing than that of last May, the music
being of a higher order and the
versatility of the young ladies being
shown in many ways. That they are
a remarkable family. embracing the
five sisters and their brother, Herbert.
is known, but that the talent has
taken so wide a range is remarkable.
There were no special features last
evening, except the program itself.
Some would admire most one number
and some another. The duet for cor
net and trombone by Misses Helene
and Phyllis to many was the most
pleasing, while others were just as
outspoken for the electric anvil chorus
by the orchestra. Mr.. Polmatier made
his initial performance both as a
fiutist and on the tu%berphone, winning
hearty applause. The vocal numbers
were as pleasing as the instrumental
numbers, Miss Phyllis showing an i'm
provement in voice. Miss Ina's
xylophone solo caused that young lady
to be twice recalled. Miss Lu Seba al
So made a hit as a reader, reciting a
number Of pieces.
After the entertainment the mem
bers Of the company were shown some
attention by the members of the lodge,
being invited to dine with them at the
Johnson hotel cafe. where oysters and
pickles were discussed. 1t is safe to
say that no more pleasing program
has been rendered mere in a decade
than that of last night.

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day originated
in New England in 1921, after
the first harvest. 1t was OBJ
served once each year during the
revolution and in 1868 President
Lincoln issued a proclamation for
its national observance. These
examples were the forcrunners to
the last Thursday in November
being made Il thanksgiving holt
day in all the states ofthe Union.
1t has become Il pretty custom
for family ties to be renewed on
that day. People of the same
family, separated by miles of dis
lance, often meet to partake of
thanksgiving dinners together,
thus the day has associated with
it not only gratitude for plente-
GUS harvests but reawakenings Of
family love and friendship.
The spirit of thanksgiving is
the spirit of gratitude. In it
there is no selfshness, no greed,
but for comforts of life, food,
clothing, houses and friends the
heart goes out in praise to Him
who is the source of all good gifts.
Gratitude does not depend upon
the value or quantity of worldly
possessions but upon the condi-
ton of the human heart 1t is
often easier for the poor man
with little to feel truly thankful
than the rich man with millions,
who has become selfish by his
methods of acquiring.
Thankfulness should be cult
waited. Like mercy it is twice
blest. 1t blesses the individual
and all associated with that indi-
vidual, thus making life more
pleasant and more in harmony |
with divine law
