HIGH links ON TURKEY DAY
Old New York. Some of the
Capers That We're Ont.


NEW YORK.-Thanksgiving Day
was ushered in by the French stu
dents organization of New York,
who began their twenty-fifth annual
masquerade ball at Terrace Garden
the evening before. The ball con-
tinued through the night, and the
customary high jinks We're INDUCED
| in
1t was at this annual festivity that
visiting Russian notable distin-
guished himself few years ago by
drinking wine from lady's slipper.
Other exploits quite as daring and
original are INDUCED in by the thou
sands of department store salespeo-
pie, chorus girls, clerks, manicurists,
buttonhole workers and other gay
Bohemians of the metropolis, and
JOY is unconfined.
Handsome prizes were offered
Broadway show girls in competition
for the most novel costumes. For
many days the stage beauties cud
geled their brains to decide what
or what MOTTO wear, and the effort
of this mental effort was stunning,
to say the least of it.
The French students are not alone
in preparing for Thanksgiving. The
Salvation Army and all the charita-
BILE organizations fed many of the
city's poor, and none went hungry.
All the theaters offered special matt
nees for the amusement of the we'll
TODD, and the big hotels and restau-
rants prepared for an unprecedented
rush on the part of the large popu-
latiOn, which couldn't or wouldn't
dine at home.
