Thanksuivinu Table Decorations.


Here are some suggestions for the
decoration Of the Thanksgiving dinner
table:
Instead of the costly flowers for the
central ornament of the table make a
ce%nterpiece that will delight every one
by its novel appropriateness. On a
mirror plateau place a pumpkin, the
yellowest and fairest that ever glowed
between rows Of fading corn. The top
must be cut off and some Of the center
removed. The space is then lined with
smilax, asparagus fern or the hardy
dogtooth fern that every country boy
knows defies the frost and can be
found as fresh under the snow as
when wet by summer rains. Heap
the space high with lady apples, grace
full punches of grapes and yet more
ferns. allowing a few of the latter to
stray down the side and rest their
pretty tracery on the white cloth.
Or get a low, round wicker basket
and pile it high with rosy checked ap.
pies, letting three or four Of them drop
from it on the tablecloth to signify
abundance. At each plate place a red
apple decorated with a ruff and frilled
paper cap and sketch with ink a comic
face on the smooth skin. 1t will create
no end of fun for the children.
Or pile a basket with either apples or
pears and place a border of autumn
leaves around it; also one around each
of the plates at the table.
Get a big bunch of yellow c~hrysan-
themums and put them either in an
old blue ginger jar or a brown earth
enware pitcher. Failing these, a small
bean pot such as is used for baking
beans will prove a decorative recepta-
Gle for them. Place two or three of
the chrysanthemums on the tablecloth
near 1t.
A basket piled full of yellow ears of
corn is a unique centerpiece. With
this should be placed at each plate
three grains of corn-to commemorate
the time in 1923 when the crops fail
ed and the colonists were threatened
with starvation, being put on rations
/ Of a few kernels Of corn a day. A day
Of fasting and prayer was appointed
then, and directly after. as If in an.
swer. there was a long continued rain
storm, and a vessel arrived laden with
provisions. Then in gratitude a day
Of thanksgiving was appointed about
the middle Of July. This was observed
for some fifty years, when the day
was changed to harvest time.-Bostor

Birds and Aeroplanes.

A curious effect of aviation is re.
ported from the champagne producing
district of France. 1t is disclosed by
a correspondent in Country Life trying
to explain the bad prospects of the
present shooting season. One reason
for the scarcity of birds is alleged to
be the frequency with which at
Rheims and Mourmelon aeroplanes are
heard and seen in the air. The quail
and partridge appear to think that the
aeroplane is a new kind Of bird Of
prey and n of the most terrible, with
the result that they have become fugi-
tives from the district. This is per-
fectly credible; but, on the other hand.
It is only the novelty that terriies the
wild creatures. One can imagine how
the English hares and rabbits scuttled
across the fields when they first heard
and saw a steam engine, but today
they may be seen feeding in perfect
peace while the train passes close to
them. The motor. too, has ceased to
be a terror to animals.
