The handsomest, r- heaviest of damask cloths should grace the Thanksgiving table, and the finest china and glass the house affords. Everything should be in the most inn maculate order, and the table appoint ments throughout as perfect, however simple, as the menu itself. Hot house flowers are out of place upon a Thanksgiving table, if we expect chrysanthemums, and a very hand some centrepiece may be made from rich hued fruits alone. A polished pumpkin basket, carved in scallops around the edge, makes a pleasing receptacle for a fruit centrepiece. This should be arranged upon a mat of green ivy. The key note of Thanks giving dinner should be to serve everything in its natural s.ate as much as possible, and for this reason one more frequently notices vegetables and fruits used as receptacles at this festal than on any other occasion.

 richness of it's materials were enough to recall the apocryphal accounts of the splendor of King SoIom0n's court. with. perhaps, a good deal more ap-
 preciation of artistic values than the ladies of that historic epoch could have possessed. The background. of the canvas, as it were. was brown broadcloth-the exquisite new shade of brown that the dyers have just suc- ceeded 1n producing for this season, A beaded chiffon scarf hung loose from the left side of the bodice, The skirt was slashed on both sides. Both skirt and bodice were ornamented with a half moon design In silk braid. The sleeves were of satin and net and the crushed belt waS also of satin.
 The whole thing was an exquisite study in brown. The satin was of . lighter shade than the broadcioth, while the iridescent beading on the chiffon scarf flashed like gold In the
 light. To complete the symphony the low tones of the braiding contributed ] just the necessary harmonious link between the satin and the broadcloth. think mentioned. did not. that the overdress is going to be even moro popular this season for reception gowns than 1t was last? An example of this was costume of white satin. with an overdress of green chiffon, trimmed with white bali fringe. The crush belt was of green satin, finish l ing in bow with long ends, trimmed with fringe. The sleeves were of white satin and lace. The whole i, gown was quite elaborately trimmed with small, fancy buttons.

 Boiled Fish.
 Dredge the prepared fish with four, wrap it in a cloth, and cook it in a steamer of boiling water until done. Then remove from the kettle, drain, place it upon a heated platter, re- move the cloth, and garnish with lemon points. olives and slices of hard boiled egg. Serve with egg sauce.
 Egg Sauce.
 Cook together until we'll mixed and smooth a tablespoonful each of but ter and flour. Add a cupful of the water in which the fish was boiled, let simmer for five minutes, stirring con- stantly, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into a sauce tureen in which several slices of hard boiled egg have been placed. A pretty idea noticed at a recent dinner was the serving of the fish sauce in little boxes made from green peppers. The top of the pepper was cut off to use as lid, and the inside scooped out to make room for cream caper sauce. These were placed as a garnish around a boiled salmon, alternating with lemon points and tufts of parsley. This would be very appropriate for Thanks giving.
 The chestnut filling for the turkey is made as follows: Shell and blanch one quart of French chestnuts (these,

The cranberry jelly is prettier if served in individual molds. Serve the baked squash in little saucers sawed from the shell. sThe roast duck should be served with square of fried hominy and a tiny individual mold of red currant jelly on the same plate.
 For the salad, use equal quantities of watercress and thin slices of raw tart apples; moisten with mayon- naise, and pile in tiny white lettuce cups. This should be served with the game course.
 A charming idea for Thanksgiving is to serve pistachio ice cream in little sun sugar pumpkins of rich yell low. Make a depression in the centre of the ice cream and fill it with rich preserved strawberries.

 A beautiful Redfern suit that a friend of mine brought over from Paris this fall is of dark, plum-color broadcloth, heavily embellished with black silk braid, The jacket is short, the collar and cuffs being of As trakhan. The contrast produced be- tween the simplicity of the style and the richness of the material gave an effect of subdued elegance that Is only reproduced in the Rue de la Paix. An other one was in red broadcloth; the jacket was plain, with two large but tons at the waistline that gave a very chic air to it. A delightful contrast was afforded by the collar and cuffs of black broadcloth. Thus you see that great deal of the decorative eff fects are arrived at by color compost tion.
 Expensive Simplicity.
 One Of the most quietly distin- guished costumes l saw in the Fifth avenue shops was of blue broadcloth. The skirt was in sections of small double pleats to simulate panels. Be- tween these sections, about eight inches from the bottom of the skirt, a strapping of wide, black silk braid

MODERN INNOVATIONS FOR k THE THANKSGIVING FEAST
eOld Fashioned Dishes Indispensable But Certain Amount of Novelties Are Possible
 Ideal Menu With Recipes

N the majority Of homes the Thanks giving dinner would undoubtedly be pronounced a failure were the
 cook to fail in providing the old lime dishes so well-beloved for this festival, and judgment should be shown In introducing more modern 3avorites into such old-fashioned con- pany as the turkey, cranberry sauce, and Thanksgiving pudding of Colonial times. It is, nevertheless, quite per xnissible to indulge in various little ad- difions and innovations more in har- mony with our modern ideas of feast ing Then, too, the Kitchens are usually gfven carte blanche for ThanksgiI ing, and both extravaganza and length in the menu are considered allowable for this festival.

The sleeve is of the conventional cut which goes with such jacket. The skirt is made with pleated founce, the front panel being cut with the stripes running diagonally.
