dream oil many of these homeless

hospitable and SO to crown IL with
a higher beauty ought to be the sug-
gestion of the happy feasting and fell

The community was the host in
that first Plymouth festival. yet the
community divided into families. As
they kept the feast in the large family
groups into which the necessity OF
house building and defense had up to
this time divided them. did any OF
them think. We wonder. of the law OF
the passover established for other
exiles and pilgrims so many centuries
before: And II the household be too
little for the lamb. let him and his
neighbor next unto his house take II

souls?

Lady Betty. who is four years old

the other evening to a restaurant for
her supper, and with all the Importance

calmly ordered poached eggs on toast.
While the little family group was
awaiting its service the "kiddie"
amused herself by looking out of the
window, pressing against a screen to
get a closer view of something below.
She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fail to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought

Whoie Bird Family May Be Repre-
sented In Game Played by
Boys and Girls.

A playground or a picnic woods is
an especially good place for this
game. One of the players is chosen
as mother bird" and two other play
ers are selected for hawks" The
other players are given the names of
several feathered creatures. Five or
six may be called sparrows, two or
three robins, a few might be known
as bluebirds, while still another group
might take the name of another bird,
such as oriole.
AS soon as the birds are named by
their mother they move their arms
up and down, to initiate a flying mo-
ton. as they fly to the forest" which
is one corner of the play space set
apart for the game.
The mother" flies to the nest
which is tie corner diagonally oppo-
site to the forest" Each of the
hawks flies to n of the two other
corners. for each hawk has his own
nest. The mother bird calls: TT is
time the orioles were tucked In bed"
The orioles then fly from the forest
to the nest, trying to avoid being
caught by either of the hawks. which
chase them.
When a bird is captured by a hawk
1t is taken to the hawks nest. The
birds, once reaching the mothers nest
in safety. cannot be caught by the
hawks unless they accidentally &C
outside the boundary of their home
The mother bird calls for all of the
birds, just as she did for the orioles
and the hawks continue their efforts
to capture them. At the end of the
first game two of the captured play
ers become hawks for the next game
and a new mother bird is chosen.

When the winds of bleak November

Stirring info life each ember
Till the flames roar fierce and high
Then my thoughts revert to boyhood,
When Thanksgiving Day drew nigh.
In the flames I see the farmhouse,
And the woodland brown and Sere
Where the sportsman,s rifle echoed
As rhat day of days drew near.
Scenes which eUer hall be cherished
In the burning logs appear.

Where the apple bins. piled high,
Ov~ershadowed heaps of pumpkins
Golden as the sunsef sky,
And the casks of neaV fall cider

While tie fire slowly dies.

TRUE MEANING OF LESSON OF
THANKSGIVING.
Should Be Time of Rejoicing for All,
Those Who Have Abundance
Sharing With Their Less
Fortunate Brethren.

The sober joyfulness Of the first
New England Thanksgiving did not
exhaust itself in a single day. Gov

during which the infant colony enter
tanned more than its own number Of
visiting Indians. 1t is true that these
guests contributed venison for the
feast. as they had earlier contributed
corn for rne nse Of the COLONY. hut
the heart Of the feast was In the
hospitality which made them vel
come.
1t would be hard to imagine q
greater contrast than that which
must have existed between the sober
garb and quiet of the Pill
grims, schooled in persecution and
p~rivation, and the fanatic dress and
unrestrained impulses Of Massasoit
and his people. The Indian could be
dignified enough upon occasion. but
his u~ncareful sel-indusgence even
more than the colonists' hospitable
unbending was the sign of an unusual
confidence. That mutual confidence
and good understanding. to the con-
tinuance of which these days of
~thaksgiving and ~feasting evidently
contributed not a little. procured those
necessary years Of peace and security
which enabled the weakness Of the
Pilgrim colony to harden into
strength.
We call Thanksgiving day especial
" a home festival. and its associations
are most delightful in family reunions
and home pleasures. Yet the prece-
dent of Plymouth hospitality has
never been and, never ought to be
neglected. 1t is a time when those
who are blessed with home joys take
pleasure in sharing them with the
homeless. Families enlarge them
selves to include mot only h scat
tered next of kin. but those also who
are far from their own home circle.
A touch of the blessed spirit of home
10y and mutual ~helpfulness stretches
beyond the limits OF the family to
include those for whom the day would
otherwise be lonelier than others days
for privation of home companionships.
This gracious hospitality Of the
Thanksgiving season brings home
memories to many guests. 1t ought
to have its teachings for many others
young men and women in our towns
who dream of homes yet to be earned
or realized-in keeping them in touch
with the true home spirit. There is
no s~elfshness IN true home love. II
Is not merely as a refuge for our
selves that we build the walls and
lay the hearth and kindle the fire
and spread the table. To gain q
