Can Button Own Waist.

Marvellous as it may seem, a young
woman has discovered a way of
fastening a waist up the back without
calling for assistance. Though not
lacking in generosity, in recent tray
els she got so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that she
felt it was. time to guard her pocket.
She discovered that If she put a
blouse on hind side before, with the
sleeves hanging free, it could be
fastened from top to bottom, with
the exception of the hooks at the
reck, and then turned around and the
arms slipped into the sleeves without
unduly straining the fastenings. So
simple! Strange that no one had
thought of it before. Or is it posi-
BILE other women have used the plan
and meanly have kept 1t to them
selves? Will the waist that fastens
in the back now have a new lease OF
life?-NeW York Press.

Character.

Much has been heard Of the eyes,
the hands and the features as delinea-
tors Of character, but very little of
the hair in this connection. Though
it is scarcely more than a surmise,
it is said that a jealous disposition
and possibly u%nreliability are denoted
by dull, black hair. A person with
light hair is sensitive to criticism
and sights. Good judgment and COM
mon sense rest upon the head of the
owner of brown hair of a deep color
and firm texture. Though women
with red hair have long been consid-
cred impulsive and tactless, they also
possess honesty and sincerity, Il
are usually of bright, sunny DISPOSE
ton. Straight hair is sid to be indica-
tive of an obstinate, unyielding ma
ture. 1t is not worth while to worry
over these things about hair, since
one cannot change them; but to grow
facetious for a minute, it might be
we'll to remember these points in case
you ever have to purchase a strand or
two.-New Haven Register.

In "Rasselas" occurs the passage:
II have long been Of opinion that, in
stead of the tardy conveyance Of
ships and chariots, man might use the
swifter migration Of wings; that the
fields of the air are open to knowl-
edge, and that only ignorance and
idleness need crawl upon the

THANKSGIVING q


New Years Day we share with
all the world, and Christmas and
Easter with all Christendom. The
Fourth Of July is emphatically our
own day, but it is purely patriotic In
its significance. Thanksgiving Day
Is as distinctively American as the
Nations birthday is, and 1t is sacred
to the two strongest forces in Amerf-
can life.
There are plenty Of people abroad,
and some at home, who do not be-
lieve that our people are eminent for
religion or domesticity: But they
are. And one evidence Of it is this
very day Of annual observance. 1t
may be quite true that q; great part
Of the population does not go to
church on the last Thursday of No
| vember, and 1t is evident that much
Of the day is devoted to football and
other outdoor sports. But the day
was never a fast day; quite the con-
trary; in its primitive form and its
New England surroundings 1t was a
feast day, so far, at least, as the sup
plies Of food permitted. 1t was a
day of public worship and thanksgiV-
ing to God, but even the New Eng
lander did not go to church all day;
he devoted no inconsiderable share
Of it to hearty eating.
Religion has always been a great
power in American society-a fact
sometimes lost sight Of in the null
tiplicity Of religious bodies; 1t is
sometimes supposed that mere de-
nominational partlsanship takes the
place of real, deep religious feeling.
This is not SO. No people in the
world are more strongly moved by
religious feeling In distinction from
religious ceremonial and religious
habits, and to no people is it more
natural to give thanks to God for
national and individual blessings.
| Some Englishmen come over here,
glance at our family hotels and our
apartment houses and 60 back to
their own country with the story
that there is no home life in Amer
lea. It. Is as great"a mistake as we
Americans make when we imagine
the French to be without domesticity
because their vocabulary has no pre-
| else equivalent for our word home.
The truth Is that domesSicity is q
| human and not q national feeling,
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1909-11-10

and If we have no right to claim pre-
eminence in it's possession, we are at
least justified in claiming to be in
ferior to no other nation in our love
Of home and in the strength Of our
family ties.
Thanksgiving Day originated In
New England at a time when the col
onists had little to give thanks for
except that they were still alive. Its
observance became national about the
time of the Civil War, because, that
intensified our national feeling, and
it's result gave us occasion for pro-
found thankfulness. Because 1t Is a
day devoted to the recognition Of
mans dependence upon his Creator,
and to reunions Of families, it has
appealed strongly to fundamental
American instincts, and has estab-
lished itself East and West, North
and South.
The American people have at this
time abundant reason for thankful
ness in The continuance Of peace; in
the abundant harvests, and in the
| absence of epidemics and calamities.
Much as there is to condemn in bus
mess and politics, and frequent as are
private scandals, we believe that
American progress Is not limited to
the acquisition of wealth, but that
the standards Of public and private
life are slowly advancing; that pub.
lie spirit and generosity are growing
virtues; that domestic virtues were
never more esteemed, and that the
American people as a whole will be
entirely sincere to-day both when
they-or a good many of them-as-
semble in their churches to give
thanks to God, and also when around
their we'll loaded dinner tables they
renew their expressions Of family af-
lection.

you could spare the money to come
home for the Thanksgiving dinner.
Maybe another year you can do so.
OF course we know it costs you an
awful lot to live in town, and things
have not gone very we'll on the farm
this year, so we cant afford to send
you the money. Well be thinking Of
you, though, on Thanksgiving Day.
Your affectionate father,
JOHN ACKER."
Mary read the letter through twice.
Girl friends! She had none. She
hardly knew the people in the house
where she boarded. She thought of
the seventy-fve dollars In The bank.
What had she been saving it for? To
buy fine clothes when she became part
of the city life; and how far would
seventy-fve dollars go? She asked
the question bitterly.
All Of a sudden she seemed to see
her mother in the big, cheeful kitch-
en-, singing over the preparations for
a Thanksgiving dinner. But would
she be singing with a daughter far
away from her in a strange, lonesome
city? No, they did not look on her
as being lonesome; no doubt she was
having a very good time, for Mary
had always kept up appearances In
her letters. And then she happened
to see the postscript on the back of
her fathers note:
"Jim Coleman bought Deacon Will
sons store at the Corners. He's fix
ing it up in good shape, and they say
that Myra Wilson's going to stay and
clerk for him."
Just how it happened Mary could
never tell, but suddenly the picture
Of Goldman, the salesman in his
mock jewelry, came before her and
offended her mental vision.
It was 4 o'clock the next day be-
fore she thought Of him again, she
had been so busy with her prepara-
lions to leave town. Now she hurried
to the telephone.
"On, NIT. GOiuHldH, Sne ehSioinh

Where Jet Comes From.

Considering the enormous vogue of
jet, for trimming and ornaments Of
every description, the following note.
taken from the current number Of
Style, is Of interest:
"Out of the face of steep cliffs at
Whitby has come for nor than 1900
years jet answering the highest re-
quirements. . The jet comes in fet-
tened layers, the largest pieces ever
found being about six feet. long and
weighing about fifteen pounds. From
three to four tons have been mined
ina year at Whitby, and the town
has received as much as 100000 for
a years output of jet manufactured
into ornaments.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

She flung down the pencil and the
book, marched over to the bureau,
and resting the palm Of her hands on
it's top, she studied the reflection in
the mirror. Yes, she was pretty!
And she didn't need a mirror to tell
her so. The admiring glances Of men
who passed her on the street and the
outspoken admiration OF unveiled
jealousy Of the girls in the store
where she clerked had told her this
every day since she had come to town.
And with a certain sense Of satisfac-
ton she realized. further that she was
a very different girl from the fright
ened country lassie who had started
in as a wrapper at Blank & Dash's
department store two years back.
1t had been a hard struggle. She
had lived at first at a working girls
home, but as her salary had been
gradually raised she had gone to a
more attractive clearinghouse. Still
she realized more and more each day
that she was a mere atom In this city
life. She had made a few. acquaint-
ances at the church where she had
enrolled, but Sunday often found her
too tired to leave the house, or she
had a little washing or mending to
do. Somehow she had never been
able to fr%aternize with the girls at
the store, and the invitations which
she had received from callow youths
who shared her work behind the
counter had been unattractive. Very
different had been her picture of the
new life in Boston, when, in defiance
of the wishes Of her family; and Of
Jim Coleman, who had been her
avowed sutton ever since he had car
ried her books to the district school,
she had turned her back on Newton
Village and her face toward Boston.
She was going to see life. She was
going to be one Of those bachelor
maids that she had read about. She
would be a part of the picture and
action of the great city, and now, to-
day, she realized for the first time
that she had an opportunity to take
part in the glittering side Of life. She
had received an invitation from Har-
old Goldman, who sold the firm but
tons and buckles. 1t was at this coun-
ter that Mary worked, and young
Goldman had been attracted to her
from the first, but for some reason
which the girl could not explain she
had gently parted his invitations.
This morning, however, he had
touched the right cord and she had
responded. He had been folding up
his samples and stopped suddenly.
Gee, but 1 dread the day after to-
morrow! Holidays in town are al
ways lonesome if you don't know a
lot of people,"
Mary nodded her head; she had
been dreading Thanksgiving Day.
Il tell you what" continued Gold
man, "let's celebrate together. You
put on your glad rags and We'll go to
the -" GA fashionable cafe for
the Bohemian and theatrical set).
Just for a minute Mary's eyes
sparkled. She realized that the girls
within earshot were consumed with
envy. Then something in her Puritan
