HOW TO MAKE TURKEY LAST

The prime roast turkey of yester-
year. how we'll We love and revere It.
Methinks we paid somewhere be-
tween 90 and 30 cents pound dressed,
for our Urine roast turkey OF yester-
year. And the grocer made us engage
1t in advance at that. We hugely en-
joyed his (the turkey's) luscious bulk,
but oh, how Il did set us back finan-
cially.
This year may be the last time we
will partake of prime roast turkey. We
thought yesteryear would be the end
of IT, but by selling the family silver
and going without an overcoat we
managed il.
For next year, however, and the
years after, We have to do some lofty
planning. lis plain to see, since il
has been brought home to us SO often
that the food trusts are wantonly de-
vastating the supply and that conser-
walton has neglected the prime roast
turkey, that there must be found n
substitute for the festal bird-some-
thing that makes noise like it.
Well, here is the logical way to 1t:

men In the Dixie Tea Rooms, Tues

One OF the most beautiful balls
Detroit society has ever attended
was that given I'm the Hotel Pontchar-
train ballroom. Wednesday evening,
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lydston New
mann and Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Lee
Stanton. TO formally introduce TO 90
ciety their daughters, Miss Dorothy
Newman and Miss Madeleine STAN
ton. The guests were received in the
green reception room just of the
white and gold ballroom. The young
debutantes were surrounded by the
bouquets sent TO them by friends.
Miss Newman was gowned i'm white
satin, with overdress OF crystal net,
caught TO the satin with small pink
rosebuds. Miss Stanton's gown was
OF white satin also, trimmed with
lilies OF the valley and she carried the
same flowers.
The Harmonic society's reputation
for novel entertainments was lived
up to Wednesday evening when the
annual Thanksgiving Eve ball was
given unusual and unique setting.
The ballroom was set to represent
the deck of the Tashmoo and the dane
ers waltzed and two-stepped around
the deck as though 1t were meath the
summer moon. Late in the evening, the
boat, which was supposed to have been
locked. started on a trip I'D the riy.
or and across Lake st. Clair TO The
Flats, the trip being accomplished by
means OF the stereopticon, while the
dancers sat on deck for a breathing
spell At midnight the boat locked
at Joe Bedore's, but instead of the
well-known fish. frog and chicken
! supper, IL was~a turkey spread, with
all OF the real thanksgiving dinner
details. The affair was voted the
most successful of the many historic
Harmonic entertainments.

One OF the prettiest balls of the sea-
son and one in which the younger ele-
ment OF society invariably takes keen
interest Is the annual Ball Poudre
which Will take place Friday evening,
in Strasburg's academy. This wear
many OF the bevy OF young debutantes
and recent brides have made up their
minds to attend the ball in colonial
costumes, with powdered hair and CO.
quettish black patches on dimpled
cheek and chin. The charity to which
the proceeds are given annually, that
OF the District Nursing society, appeals
to young and old, and there is al
ways liberal response whether the
purchaser OF the ticket is able to at.
tend the function or not. With SO
many attractive young girls on the
debutante list this season, the 1910
Bal Poudre promises to be the most
successful ever given under similar
auspices. The committee in charge Is
composed of young matrons and maids
whose youthful enthusiasm is bound
to make anything they undertake a
marked success. Mrs. w. A. C. Miller.

position and what there Is in IL for

seems to guess my unspoken ques'
ton how he can be a party to such
an affair. II am considering resign
ing. The pay, sir, is 80 rubles-but
the weight of sin It puts upon the
soul"
And they'll keep the sheep, the
fowls and the tea urn?"
Yes. sir, OF course. The district
office will name day for public
sale"
And they'll sell the things?'
:. Yes J, =: They'll get their share out
drive over to- the district Office
to learn more about this method OF
tax collecting. which Is new to me.
The chief tells me that there are
seven kinds of taxes, back dues which
are now being gathered from the
peasants; government tax, Snd tax.
insurance tax, provision dues, pro-
vision capital in place OF compulsory
work on roads, district tax, village
tax.
The chief tells the same story as
the village elder. Strict orders from
authorities higher up are responsible
for this harshness. The chief realizes
that taxpaylng is a hardship to the
poor, but not as keenly as does the
village elder.
But the head of Zemstvu, still high
er up. with whom / talked little az
terward, has scarcely any feeling for
the poor in their distress. This officer
of the province has seen but little
OF the poor. And he did not question
the moral justice of his Office for a
moment.
AS for the views OF the governor
on this matter OF gathering taxes ESQ
essential to the satisfaction of the
needs Of the people who watch over
the good OF the people) found that
he was free from prejudices In this
matter of taking tea-urns. cows ana
linens from the poor. He did not
doubt at all that the result Of his &C
tivity was good.
But the ministers OF state and those
who govern our traffic in liquor, and
finally those who are busy with con-
formations to exile, to prison, to
hard labor, to death by the Moose
all these ministers of state and their
aids are firmly convinced that the
teapots. and the sheep, and the linen,
and the cows taken from the poor,
are put to the best and highest use
in the making Of the liquor which
poisons the people, and In the build
ing OF prisons and institutions, not
to mention the distribution OF their
value In salaries among the ministers
and their aids to decorate their par
lors. buy gowns for their. wives, pay
for pleasure trips and amusements
so Indispensable as relief from the
weighty burdens Of government which
they bear for the good OF rude and
thankless people.
