fhanksoivino 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, al
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 at least q faint
rejection in your own heart.
Remember that there are more rea-
sons for the national holiday than q
football game and biz, dinner.
Do not let the responsibility of en-.
Pertaining 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 If the cook forgot th e 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
md word.

Thanksgiving Day In Paris.


Last Thanksgiving was celebrated
by Americans In Paris in q manner
that was as "traditionar' as was pos
sible In face Of few shortcomings,
such as almost complete famine in
pumpkin pie and a shortage in the
cranberry supply.
Dinners were enjoyed at home by
Americans who have homes in Paris.
but the "foaters'' who find them
selves far from their native heaths on
feast days had to trust their fates to
hotels and restaurants.
The American Art association at "a
Rue Notre Dame des Champs gave a
dinner for its members.
Hotel and restaurant proprietors
have long since appreciated the impor-
lance Of Thanksgiving day as -four
de fete" for Americans, and they had
prepared the national dish" Among
these were the Athenee. Langham and
Continental hotels and Noel, Peters
and Champeux restaurants, which
were all crowded with Americans at
the dinner hour.

Thanksgiving Day In Old New Eng.
land. "
A charming description Of a Now
England Thanksgiving day fifty years
ago Is given by Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe in one Of her novels. OF all
days in the year 1t was the one for
which new dress was imperatively
demanded. New ways OF making
squash pies and ounce tarts were
proper subjects for conversation for
sine days before the feast. For a
week before the date fixed the children
Of each homestead were kept busy
chopping mice meat and pounding cln-
namon, allspice and cloves in wood
en- mortar, slicing candied orange peel
and stoning raisins.
All the members Of the family came
home to eat their Thanksgiving din
ner. The courses consisted Of turkeys.
chickens and chicken pies, then plum
buildings and afterward pies. After
the dinner the patriarch Of the house
gave a recital Of all Gods mercies to
them. speaking from the text LET
children hear the mighty deeds which
God performed Of old" That there is
no present occasion for emulating their
fathers deeds is all the more reason
for observing Thanksgiving day.-New
York Times.

scramble to see just what was inside.
After breakfast the president, Mrs.

library to exchange presents too big
for the stocking.
Each member Of the family had 4
special corner for his or her gifts. and
there were any number Of mysterious
little parcels to be opened. This very
pleasant little ceremony took the en-
tire morning.
After this the president walked to
his church. Grace Reformed, and the
rest Of the family went to st. Johns
Episcopal church.
In the afternoon the president, Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children went over
to the home Of Captain and Mrs. VIII
liam Sheffield Cowles. where they al
ways spend Christmas afternoon and
where there is always tree for the
Roosevelt and Cowles children. They
were Joined there by Representative
