In the morning the children were

And what feast it was.
Never would Lillian and Bert forget

that we can estimate Just what our a0-

either in their homes or elsewhere.
First of all. Thanksgiving Day, IN

be living somewhere near Boston you
didn't have any Thanksgiving at all
But even the New England home
maker was able. a hundred years ago,
70 get Up no such dinner as we VIII
have in our homes today
She had turkey, pumpkin pie. pOta-
toes. cranberry sauce. and onions. but
no tomatoes, string beans, peas. and
which we eat now all the winter
through
For there were neither tin cans nor
canned goods in 1910
There were no cars to bring lettuce
and tomatoes from the South and from
California in those days. nor, for that
matter, any Florida or California TO
bring them from
These were waste places or foreign
lands IN 1870 They we're possessions OF
France. Spain. and Mexico.
And about the most that hOUsekeep-
ers knew q hundred years ago OF all
the delicious fruits now obtainable at
Thanksgiving upon our every market
was what they read about them or
