when she said, "Now, hurry up, chill
dren, we must get an early start"
Thinking she meant to church they
put on their best hats and wraps and
were just ready when "Honk! Honk!"
came a big auto and mother ran out to
tell the man to wait until she had
locked the doors.
And laughing at the childrens' sur

joys to them, she bundled them in, but
mind you. there were no lap robes or
footwarmers, for it was in California.

running water, then through villages
past beautiful San Fernando hills,
through the little town where the SOL

Ted asked his mother this same
question, and this is what she said:
This is beautiful Venice by the Sea!
Venice with it's canals and bridges and
gondolas. Venice with its buildings
carved about the corners and pillars
and painted in delicate tints like those
in old world pictures.
Look at the old ocean booming away
on the sands"
And then few minutes later "Wel-
come to our ocean home," as they
stopped before a pretty little cottage.
"And shall we go home any more z"
asked Ted, open mouthed and wide
eyed.

GRANDMA PREPARES, FINE FEAST

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Merry shouts of laughter with the
gay tinkling of gay sleigh bells, rang
out on the keen November air.
"Three cheers for grandma and her
pumpkin pies!" shouted big brother
Ben, in which p&pa, mamma, Florence
and baby Bobbie Joined. The air rang
again with their shouts, and grandma,
hearin~ the noise, came to the door.
A pretty picture in her gingham apron,
rosy cheeks, a daub of flour on her
nose and pan in her hands in which
she was stirring vigorously.
Papa, jumping quickly out of the
sled, helped mamma and Bobbie out
while Florence helped brother Ben
carry the holly.
''I am so glad you have come, al
though you are rather earlyl" cried
grandma, delightedly, kissing them all.
"And what lovely holly, Ben. Where
did you get it?"
"Oh, that's a secret" said Ben,
winking at Florence, who could hardly
keep from laughing.
"Well, come in out of the cold, for
it will soon be snowing," said grandma,
and everybody danced In to the fire.
"Take off your wraps and make
yourselves comfortable, for dinner will
soon be ready" and grandma went
bustling back to the kitchen.
"Come, everybody" called grandma
a few minutes later from the dining
room. and everybody hurried in.
And what a Thanksgiving dinner
that was! There was turkey, cram
berry sauce, all kinds of pudding,
mashed potatoes, apples, candy and
nuts. The table was decorated with
the holly Ben brought, which made 1T
look like Christmas.
Papa declared he never ate such good
turkey, to which all agreed. Bobbie
and Florence had five helpings of pud-
ding, and 1 don't dare to say how
many Ben had. Then grandma kissed
all goodby and there was 1ingling
of sleigh bells and they were off.
Remember" called back mamma,
''you are to take dinner with us for
Christmas" TO which grandma threw
back a kiss. Your loving niece,

PASSES DAY WITH GRANDMA

Dear Aunt Laurie:
There was a family reunion at grand
mothers. All of the relatives were to
be there including our family. Much
to my delight we were to go the day
before and stay until the day after
Thanksgiving. We started early in the
morning, as we lived about ten miles
from grandmothers
The trip was enjoyed by us ALL and
when we arrived at grandma's house
we were in the best of spirits and re-
ceived a delightful welcome from
grandma.
Grandmother's house was large and
rambling, with shady porches around
it. 1t opened on a wide lawn. To the
left there was a tiny path which led to
the most perfect garden that was ever
seen, and on the right there was
paddock.
BY evening the rest of the guests had
arrived, and I had fed and petted the
pets that I had become acquainted
with during vacation.
We arose rather late the next morn
ing and went skating after having
light breakfast. We returned in
couple of hours in a very hungry state.
After dressing we all went down into
the large dining room and we could not
help but feel merry at the gay scene.
The large table was beautifully laid
with every goodie that was ever made.
The walls were decorated with holly
berries and spruce bows with bits OF
cotton sewed on them. In the corner
there was a large fireplace in which a
bright log was burning.
The meal was a success, and after
eating all of the good things that only
a grandmother knows how to make
we went into the parlor, where another
bright fire was burning. We all sat
around it and told stories, sang songs,
spoke pieces and ate nuts, apples and
raisins until very late.
We had the happiest day we had ever
had before for nothing equals day
at grandmother's.

GROWING GLORY OF FEAST
ARE AuNTIE's PUMPKIN PIES
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
kk0 H, JIMMIE, please bring up
fine large pumpkin from the
~ cellar for me. I'm going to
make some of those luscious pumpkin
pies from that recipe you gave me-"
said Aunt Sophie to her nephew, who
had come from the city to help pre-
pare for a good time Thanksgiving
day.
Jimmie, bubbling over with laughter,
brought up an extra large pumpkin
and handed it to Aunt Sophie. She
took it and smiled gratefully, saying,
Save your laughter, Jim, until the
pies are madel"
On Thanksgiving morning every
thing was spick and span The cup
board was filled with goodies and a
nice fat turkey was already to put in
the oven.
At 10 o'clock Uucle Jerry came home
from the depot, bringing Jimmie's
. mather and father and his two sisters
and a brother.
The dinner was just grand-every
one said it was. But when it came
time for the pumpkin pie everybody
but Jimmie declared that they could
eat no more. He helped himself to a
fine large piece and then took a bite.
His face soon lit up with bright smiles
from ear to ear. The rest of the party
could not help but obey the impulse.
Aunt Sophie gave them all piece
and they agreed that Jimmie's broad
smiles were not joke.

FEEDS BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
There once lived a little girl named
Kitty, whose eyes were bright and
whose hair was long and curly. She
loved the birds and flowers and often
played with the squirrels.
She had many pets, and one of them
was a parrot. His name was Judy
and he was a very pretty bird.
Sometimes Judy would call to Kitty
and say: kitty, Kitty, please give me
a cracker" Kitty would then give
Judy a cracker.
1t would soon be Thanksgiving, and
Kitty thought of something nice to do
on that day. She made nice loaf OF
bread took some wheat and went TO
the cupboard and got some nuts ana
corn. Then she went out in the yard
and threw the bread and wheat to the
birds and to a hollow tree and called
the squirrels and gave them the nuts
and corn. That was their Thanksgiv-
ing dinner.
Kitty's mother thought that was
fine thing to do on Thanksgiving day.

MISSES HIS DINNER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The day before Thanksgiving, long
time ago, a little boy was watching his
mamma make the pies cakes, jellies
and roasting the turkeys, chickens and
duck.
Mamma, may have a piece of that
turkey?"
mo, frankie, not now" replied his
mamma.
So frankie resolved what to do.
Il lust wish something would happen

what I'll do. I won't eat any meals
until tomorrow. and then I'll eat and
eat and eat. I'll get more than my
share of everything" he thought.
So at dinner that night frankie did
not eat anything.
what is the natter" asked his
mother.
"Nothin'."
"Oh, yes; you're i'll. Don't try to
cover it up"
So frankie was put to bed to stay
there until Friday. No turkey did he
get, but Just some broth and castor oil.
That night while all of the people
were eating dinner frankie decided
never again to spend another Thanks
giving that way.

SLIPS WHEN CROSSING ICE

l. ear Aunt Laurie:
will tell you what happened one
day when we lived in Colorado.
"Get up quickly, children, because
we must hurry this morning. said
mamma.
We were expecting auntie, uncle and
two cousins to come and spend Thanks
giving day with us. That was the
cause of the hurry.
About II O'Clock our company came.
It was exceedingly cold and was
showing very fast and everything was
already coated heavily in white
We lived near a lake, which was
then thickly coated with ice. My un-
Gle. who was very fond of skating,
went over to the lake and took fine
skate while mamma was preparing
dinner.
When dinner was ready I put on
my heavy coat, hood, mittens, over
shoes and leggins and went after my
uncle He was on the other side of
the lake and / thought I would just
walk across the ice and get him.
The ice was slippery and I started
out fast when-"Oh, my, but that ice
Is cold and hard to my head!" 1 ex-
claimed suddenly.
After many attempts I got him and
we went bacl home and we all ate
fine fat turkey and all that goes with
it to make a fine dinner.
After dinner the children left the
grown people in the house talking
while we, wrapped up warmly, went
out and had a SNOWFALL sham battle,
built snowmen and had such a jolly
time riding our sleds, but of course
we did not make the snowballs hard
enough to hurt each other. After
spending the afternoon in that way
we all went in and ate a lunch and
went to bed after sitting around the
fireplace and telling stories for a while

1t had been showing for two or three
days, and the night before Thanksgiv-

light of a full moon fell on the snow,
making it sparkle beautifully.
There was an old man who had been
down the street to get his turkey and
was coming home with 1t.
He had been in such hurry that he
did not wait to have it wrapped and he
was bringing it home in the good old
fashioned way.
It had been plucked of its feathers,
and he was holding 1t by the legs, and
