Thanksgiving Hints.

Let no one else suspect that you have
little cause for thankfulness.
Remember that every one has cause
to be thankful-if not for personal, at
least for family, sectional and national
reasons.
Try to find the true spirit Of thanks
giving In thinking Of other peoples
happiness and SO find Mt least faint
reflection in yoiYr own heart.
Remember that there are more rea-
sons for the national holiday than a
football game and big dinner.
Do not let the responsibility Of en-
tertaining guests interfere with the
pleasure Of their society
If the unavoidable bitches IN the
domestic machinery occur. console
yourself with the thought that, Al
though the turkey was underdone, the
pumpkin pie was beyond reproach and
that II the cook forgot the celery she
remembered the salad dressing which
you had forgotten.
And try for one day to be charitable
not only in deed, but In every thought
and word.

A feast answering the purpose OF
our Thanksgiving day was held by
the ancient Greeks In honor Of Deme-
ter. the deity who owned the earth In
their eyes. The rallying point for this
feast, which lasted nine days. was at
Athens. All except murderers and
barbarians took part In 1t. The fruits
Of the earth which seemed to please
the Greeks most were barley. mint,
pomegranntes and poppy seeds. In
addition to eating and drinking more
than ordinarily. grand torchlight pro-
cession along the sacred way" to
EleuSina was the chief attraction.
The sacred way seems to have been to
the ancient Greek what Fifth avenue
