A THANKSGIVING DINNER
IN THE PHILIPPINES

II was eaten in an old stone hacienda, over
whose walls the red, white and yellow roses
hung their rich embroidery, and from whose
decrepit balconies fragrant starry jasmine
waved side by side with the family wash How
much of the excellence of the meal was due to
the culinary skill Of Jim. the coloners muchu-
cho. who went into the kitchen to help the
Chinese cook. and how much to that almond
eyed juggler with pots and pans. could not be
determined by the guests. but both claimed the
honor.
The table was set out Of doors under the
shade Of an immense arbor del fuego, or f,re
tree, which few months hence would be q
blaze Of flaming blossoms. The chickens
roamed about freely among the guests, and &C.
casionaliy one bolder than the rest would ny
up among the dishes. 1t was etiquette for the
nearest guest to shoe 1t down. otherwise such
little incidents passed without notice. The
first dish served was the strictly American one

that we came near losing Thanksgiving after
all. and that all the famous men of the day got
into very bitter quarrel over it and ate q
turkey dinner at dagxers drawn 10 to speak.
The idea of Thanksgiving day originated
With Alexander Hamilton. Washington's secre-
Vry OF the treasury. Who In August, 1889.
broached the subject at a cabinet meeting, In
September 1889. Elias Boudinot. a New Eng

dent to set aside day of THANKSGIVING and
moved Its adoption The motion was seconded
BY Roger Sherman of Connecticut The reso-
luton at once met with opposition. Many
members OF congress denounced the custom OF
such observances effete and monarchical
and some members became 80 personal in
their discussions that blows were struck over
the matter in the streets Of New York, which
then was the national capital the sessions OF
congress being held in Federal hall.
Jefferson opposed the passage of the resolu.

now the day should be celebrated, and over 1t
arose an acrimonious contest. Hamilton pro-
posed monster procession of dgnitaries and
military headed by Washington himself. JET.
fsrson's opposition prevented this spectacular
exntoition and 1t finally was determined that
the DAY was domestic holiday and should
be observed in the privacy Of the home after
the good old New England manner.
This settlement was gratifying to Mrs. Wash
ingtOn, who at once made arrangements to
hold levee in true colonial fashion at the
executive mansion on Franklin square. Every
one Of prominence in the new government was
invited. from the chief justice Of the supreme
court down, and they all came; for in addition
to being president, George Washington was a
gentleman, and to be asked to his house was q
social distinction.
Hamilton. however, eager to do anything cal
culated to put Jefferson to confusion, proceed
ed to organize all manner of festivities and OBJ
servances likely to make Thanksgiving 4 noisy
holiday Jefferson, on the contrary, held some
what aloof from the whole thing and looked
upon Thanksgiving as a religious contrivance
only. By the time the day arrived much
h [sant feeling had been engendered between
Binet factions and the friction in that quar-
ter also extended itself to the partisans Of the
cabinet leaders, Jefferson and his friends did
what they decently could to ignore Thanksgiv-
ing altogether. Hamilton and his partisans did
all they could to make the day a "howing sue
cess" When the state of affairs became known
in Boston and Philadelphia the battle was
heartily entered into, and Washington had the
modification of seeing that his day of Thanks
giving for the blessings of Almighty God had
become source Of no end of contention.
The day dawned fair and warm for New
York The bells of Trinity rang for an hour,
and there was q parade of one regiment, re-
viewed BY Hamilton from Faunce's tavern, the
WaldorfAstoria Of New York city in that day.
Then the cheering part Of the day began. by
indulgence In various forms of stimulants and
everyone was no doubt very thankful Wash
ington went to church in the morning, and at
high noon began to receive his visitors at the
executive residence.
Hamilton had also arranged q dinner at
Faunce's tavern, which is distinguished rs be-
ing the first onicial Thanksgiving banquet In
our history. Hamilton was to respond to =
