A Thanksnlvlnn Tea.

| "A reception or tea on this festival
lay is distinguished chiefly by appro-
>riate decorations, costumes and re-
reshments. The rooms may be com
)letely transformed by taking down
III the portieres and other draperies
ind replacing them with others made
If cranberries strung on stout, red
hread. Popcorn strung and alternat-
ng with the berries makes a pleasing
affect. Strings of cranberries are
7ery pretty festooned over white win
low curtains.
Cover lamps and all gas and cleo
ric lights with shades made from red,
white and blue crepe tissue paper and
or stools and divans have large
pumpkins; they are very comfortable
and are admirably adapted for the
purpose. The usual refreshments are
served with the addition of pumpkin
chips" and the bonbons in the ma
donal colors. To make pumpkin chips,
which are quite novelty, select a
ieep colored pumpkin, peel and slice
very thin; to each pound of chips add
pound Of sugar and a gill of lemon
Juice, with the grated lemon rind;
stir we'll and let them stand over
night; cook very slowly until tender;
then skim the chips out, let them
stand two days to get firm, then put
hem In jar with just enough sirup
70 keep them moist. These are often
!aken for an expensive imported pre-
gerve No one recognizes the plebeian
pumpkin. Spices may be added If
liked.
Hot spiced cider or cider frappe
may be served and cranberry ice
cream is delicious in flavor and looks.
The sandwiches should be of minced
turkey and the flowers red and white
with cornfowers or bach
elors' buttons, as they are blue.
If individual molds are desired for
The ice cream, they are cunning little
and all sorts of vegetables.
Sheafs of wheat tied with the national
,olors are very decorative over arch
and doorways.
A program of music consisting of
patriotic airs would be a diversion
suitable for the occasion.
1t would be attractive to have six
girls dressed in colonial costumes to |
assist in receiving and to pour" in

few candles in brass sticks, some hav-
ing the tall glass shades one finds in
New Orleans, After this a huge low
ing cup is passed, and all join hands
standing up saying with bowed heads:
God bless you and God bless me,
God bless us every one.
A simple repast is served, with no
servants in evidence, as this is time
when the children are permitted to
dress in costumes representing the
Pilgrim fathers and mothers" and
they serve the feast. They first all
stand around the candle-lit table and
eat their five kernels Of parched corn
in memory Of the time when all our
forefathers had for which to be
thankful was the few grains of seed
corn, enough to allot only five grains
to each person. At the close of this
supper child is chosen to repeat FL
der Brewster's glorious admonition to
the Pilgrims when he bade them be
true to their promise. l quote it
here, for it is worthy of being read
by every one on the coming festival
day:
Blessed will It be for us, blessed
for this land, for this vast continent
Nay, from generation to generation
will the blessings descend. Genera
tions to come will look back to this
hour and these scenes Of agonizing
trial, to this day Of small things, and
say: Here was our beginning as a
people. These were our forefathers.
Through their trials we inherit our
blessings. Their faith is our faith,
their hope our hope, their God our
God"
Seems to me this is splendid way
of impressing historical facts upon
the minds Of our young people, and it
does US older ones lots of good to
t1rn our minds and hearts backwards,
remembering the times when this fair
land was not what it is today and to
say prayer of thankfulness for those
who laid the foundation on such a
sound basis that we may with CRATE
full hearts celebrate our Thanksgiving
day.

The Rioht to Die.

The man who has killed himself on
Monday would on Saturday have
wanted to live; but one only kills
ones self once. Mans life is made
up Of past, present and future; so life
must be a burden to him, If not for
the past, the present and the future
at least for the present and the fu'
ture If 1t is only burden for the
present he is sacrificing the future.
The evils of one day do not authorize
hiL to sacrifice the life that is ahead
Of him. Only the man whose life is
unhappy and who could have the GER
tainty-which is impossible-that 1t
will always be so. and that condi-
lions and desires will never change,
either through modification Of circum-
stances and situations or through
habit and the lapse of time-which
again is impossible-onl this man
would have the right TO kill himself

these occasions all the old heirlooms
are brought forth. the fireplace In the
dining room is festooned with dried
apple strings and red peppers. Ap-
pies, nuts, cider and popcorn are
served informally, and the first cere-
mony is counting up the "mercies" of
the year. Every one is obliged to take
part in this. There is no light save
from the logs in the fireplace and a

BE A MAN, MY SON.

So you are 21?
 And you stand up clear-eyed, clear minded, to look all the world squarely in the eye. You are a man
 Did you ever think, son, how much it has cost to make man out of you?
 Some one has figured up the cost in bring a young man to legal age, care for him and educate him, costs 1925, 900. Which is lot of money to put into flesh and blood.
 But that isn t all
 You have cost your father many hard knocks and short dinners and worry and gray streaks in his hair. And your mother-ah, boy, you will never knoWi You have cost her days and nights of anxiety and wrinkles to her dear face and heartaches and sacrifice.
 It has been expensive to grow you.
 But
 If you are what we think you are, you are worth all cost-and much, much more.
 Be sure of this; While father does not say much but Hello, son." down deep in his tough, staunch heart, he thinks you are the finest ever. And as for the little mother, she simply can not keep her love and pride for you out of her eyes.
 You are man now.
 And some time you must step into your fathers shoes. He wouldn't like to have you call him old, but just the same he isn' t as young as he used to be. You see, young man, he has been working pretty hard for more than twenty years to help you up! And already your mother is beginning to lean on you.
 Doesn's that sober you, Twenty one?
 Your father has done fairly well, but you can do better. You may not think so, but he does. He has given you a better chance than he had. In many ways you can begin where he left off. He expects good deal from you and that is why he has tried to make a man of you.
 Don't finch, boy.
 The world will try you out. It will put to the test every fibre in you. But you are made of good stuff. Once the load is fairly strapped on your young shoulders, you will carry it and scarcely feel tiff only there be the willing and cheerful mind.
 All hail, you, on the threshold
 It's high time you were beginning to pay the freight. And your back debts to father and mother. You will pay them, won't you boy?
 How shall you pay them?
 By being always and everywhere a man!-Grand Rapids Chronicle.
