giVing-that one day above all others IN

own and try 10 bark back to the spirit,
he customs and dishes of our good New
England forbears
For those who have room nothing is
more delightful than the house party
the earliest form of American enter aim
ment, to which even the Indians lent
hand and brought their share of game
and shell fish TO help with the feast
While the guests of the modern house
party do not need 10 bring material addi-
lions TO the feast, they are called upon to
add their quota TO the entertainment.
The young women and men are usually
clad to attend TO the decoration of the
for which i'll the country
at this season are abundant and mex
peEsivc. There are autumn leaves and
ferns, barberries and bitter sweet, and
those who arrive earlies will enjoy moth
ing more than gong In search OF these
and arranging them atterWard, leaving
the hostess free from all responsibility
IN the characterization.
MasQuerades and charades are Ii fa-
yorite form of entertainment for. all
parties, ana Il bdCh"dlu
dance, where the participants are haDlted
either in the garments OF long ago, of
childhood, or their own garments reverS-
ed, adds greatly to the fun.
This can take place Thanksgiving
evening. TO see bearded men going about
in Buster Brown suits and mothers of
families in little Kate Greenaway COS
tunes, with Teddy bears and dolls in
their arms, is ridiculous. Much pref
tier. if not :" funny, is the fancy dress.
where the stately bellies and beauX of
long ago take part in the graceful min
act. After the lamps are lighted Il ia
vorite Thanksgiving game is known as a
pilgrim party. IL can be played by all
but very young children
For its execution pads and pencils are
distributed to all who take part, and a
series OF questions is propounded by
the master of ceremonies, who inStructs
the players that the answers to the
questions must in every instance be
found on the Thanksgiving table, or be
some article that might appropriately
be placed there.
\ prize. of course, is To be awarded
the person who answers the greatest
number OF questions correctly.
While the list OF questions can be easily
extended these few will serve as ex-
amples:
l. What did the Maylower do coming
over? Roll.
:. What did it take TO cross the ocean
in those days? Thyme.
}. What did a scarcity OF supplies keep
the passengers from doin@2 StuifinS
J. What was the condition OF their

a. What did the white men later give
the Indians when they dispossessed them
OF their lands? A lemon.
10 What did the Indians expect the
settlers to do when they attacked them ?
Quail.
II. But what did they find them? Game.
H. What are all the descendants of

Rooster.

Rooster is an old fashioned catch game
that may be new to children of this gen
Grafton. When all are seated in ring
an older person announces that they are
going to play menaSerie. The master of
cere monies then goes from one guest to
another, presumably whispering the name
of the animal each is to represent. In
stead. he whispers confidentially to all but
one to keep quiet" To the one selected
to be the victim he whispers Rooster
and tells him that when the signal is
given he must crow long and loud. Then
the leader announces that when he counts
three every one must give the imitation
as directed. One! two. three!' and
Chanticieer alone gives his clarion crow.
In allotting this character one should
be careful not to give it to a very timd
child or one who cannot take q joke.
