great change In sentiment the part Of many
OF the farmers to the Thanksgiving turkeys
for their own tables In days gone by there
was often disposition to regard almost any old

would bring the best prices, and the farmer and

as greater prosperity has come to SO many OF
the farmers there is growing disposition to re-

the soil, and this applies to turkeys to every
thing else. Consequently 1t is usual for the
progressive farmer to retain one of his tenderest
birds for the kith and kin that break bread with
him on Thanksgiving and not infrequently the
chosen bird has been singled out from the others
long in advance and is specially fattened in &C
cordance with the tastes of the family.
There has been much discussion on the part OF
the public in recent years regarding the compare
tive scarcity OF small turkeys-that is six to eight
pound birds-in the Thanksgiving market. There
is no difficulty in fixing the responsibility for this
disappearance OF the small turkeys 1t is due to
the growing tendency among turkey rasers to
devote their best efforts to the bronze variety
OF fowl-the largest variety of the bird. The
lure of the American love Of bigness has made
itself felt in the turkey realm. and the 30 to 36
pound birds which have attracted SO much atten-
ton at fashionable hotels and on banquet boards
have come to be regarded the most desirable
specimens OF that fowl. which becomes for one

are coming to market in carload lots many of
the birds make the journey by fast freight, but
under such conditions man must be sent along
with each load to feed the birds, so that in

AXE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN
YOUTH

There is only one thing better
than being a mother, and that is to
be grandmother. There is only
one thing more beautiful in life
than youth, and that is old age"
Just before she sat down to her
birthday dinner last evening with
her sons and daughters and grand
children, twelve in number. in her
home at No. sos West Ninety-fifth
street, Mrs. Edward Payson Ter
hume, better known as Marion Har-
land, culinary expert. made the
above statements. She passed her
eightieth milestone in life's journey
recently, and it is real grandmoth-
err who doesn't pretend to be young
er than she is. Yet she is more
youthful than most grandmothers
forty years her junior.
"Pretense spoils everything in
life" said Mrs. Terhune ut is the
greatest drawback to the modern
woman. A woman who pretends to
be younger than she is and dresses
like young girl when she Is old is
a farce. She makes the life redicu-
lous and herself as well. Genuine
old age, with no pretenses, is quite
as beautiful as youth, say. Life is
made just as beautiful by the frosty
touch of years if people will only
let it be real.
In fact, old age has far more
beauty than youth. If it is We'll

delightful "reminiscences and experi-
cences. 1t has the Retrospective

blessed heritage of health and an
