For Celebration
of Great Festival

As soon as President Roosevelt an
nounces on just which Thursday
Thanksgiving will fall. preparations
for this one purely American fes-
tival begin. The traditions Of this
day are not wrapped In mystery,
or entangled with myths and leg
ends SO as to render the origin
almost impossible. On this great day
devoted to public worship, and family
gatherings, 1t Is we'll to count up our
own individual mercies, and remember
how much better off we are than the
next fellow. / am often reminded Of
the young girl, who looked with envy
upon span Of fine horses attached to
brougham, in which a girl Of about
her own age was seated. Just as the
carriage stopped the girl who had
wished for just such luxury, saw a
pair Of crutches beside the fair car
riage maiden, and she thought, Give
me my own power OF walking and she
may keep the horses" So 1t is with
all of us, our own cross, whatever 1t
may be. is best.
But | started out to tell about
unique plan for celebrating this great
Thanksgiving day. In a family in
which there are four school children,
each child has been given date back
In the early annals of our country and
has been told to provide the amuse-
ment and describe Thanksgiving day
of that period. This will insure some
biotnrical Lnpwladpa and ~ ic cert a n
ly a good idea. Space forbids going
into all the details Of this plan as 1t
is to be worked out, but these are the
dates selected: 1921, 1923, 1876 and
1888. Costumes are to be worn to
correspond and the whole character of
the dinner is to be colonial" Tin cups
will be substituted for the porringers
of pewter in which to serve clam
broth, tame turkey will suffice for the
wild bird, but there is to be domes-
tcated duck and corn bread. Cali
fornia will supply the grapes, instead
of their being wild" as history says
they should be, and they furnished the
dessert of the illustrious Pilgrim
fathers. Pan-dowdy will also be
served, made after famous old recipe
handed down for generations. There
are to be four distinct table center
pieces. as each child is to furnish one,
One boy was seen in the toy depart
ment searching for an Indian" doll

LONG WELLS ARE ATTRACTIVE.
Can Be Made to Add Greatly to Ap
pearance Of the Hat.

Long wells this season are, indeed,
lovely; so lovely that they make the
most simple hat look elaborate and
costly. The slight note Of black,
which IL now considered so desirable,
Is often introduced in the veil. as. for
example. a three-yard length of palest
peach chiffon. edged all round with
fragile insertion OF black and--at the
extreme edge-with row of black
satin ribbon. When this veil is thrown
back over light hat the effect is
quite enchanting. and the same may
be said OF wells OF paiest blue chiffon
or net. with motifs of black chantilly
inserted in the corners and a frill of
black chiffon all round the edge. When
the veil is very elaborate II is good
taste to have the hat moderately plain;
a really plain hat hardly exists at this
moment.
Immense bows OF ribbon-arrange
at either side OF the large eloche hat
and joined by fiat band-are often
used on hats which are destined to be
accompanied by one OF the new wells.
and the ribbons harmonize, or con.
trast with the veil material I'm pc
cullarly attractive way. For hats of
ivory or pale tan color nothing can be
prettier than long veil of palest bis.
cult Alencon net. with a deep hem all
round and above this hem an insertion
Of fine lace; or the same veil with the
insertion OF lace and an edge Of black
velvet ribbon.

II II Is done on the right side. Use
one strand OF the darning cotton and
run the stitches In on the length OF

stitches beyond the worn place at

close to gether. then take stitches
across the width in the same manner,
