Now that Thanksgiving day has gone for another year and We have all been supposedly thankful for the good and gracious things which We have. let us inventory our stock ana be thankful for some of the things which We have not
 Following a dinner of turkey with its stuffing of ches nuts and celery, accompanied by numerous vegetables and its garnish of cranberry sauce; raw oysters with a dash of lemon, horseradish or ketchup: hot rolls and the climax capped with pumpkin or mince pie. ice cream or plum pudding. one should indeed be grateful If he has not indigestion.
 If it happens that you have no fam fly fireside to gather Your friends about. and no friends to ask you to share the warmth of theirs: if you see happy groups of people sitting around heavily laden tables, enjoying delicious viands and the merry eX- change of wit and repartee; if you watch them as they go dashing about in automobiles while you walk dis consolately along or sit by yourself in a cheerleSS room. be glad If you can be philosopher enough to think that Fate will eventually even mp the festivities and thank God that you haven't an envious disposition.
 Be thankful that you are not winner. a weakling nor victim of the hook worm. nor just plain lazy.
 Be glad that you have not so ugly. uncouth or uncongenial a nature but that you are able to add little to the sum total of some persons hap piness In giving ungrudgingly of yourself if you have nothing else to give. you will ease the ache in your own heart and may eventually learn to be thankful that you are denied many of the luXuries of life, since it is only through denial and resistance that strength is gained which results in a character that is firm. sweet and true.

 Surely We have much to be thank ful for. in the things which We have not

 From the standpoint of beauty and harmony of coloring, the booth filled. flower trimmed auditorium of the club house. furnished one of the prettiest scenes imaginable. The stage was outlined with pepper boughs with a background of fan palms. At either end of the prOScenium arch were palms and the platform in front was draped with the graceful, fern-like pepper leaves, and at intervals were placed pots of ferns and jardinieres of roses and chrysanthemums. Hugh bowls of these same flowers were placed on the luncheon tables. six in number, for the stage was used as the refreshment booth.
 All of the stalls had jars of blos- sons for their chief decoration and one, the bargain booth, had immense punches of beautiful flowers for sale The handsome. yellow chrysanthe- nuns of a very large variety, that were shown in this booth, were rais- ed by the Misses Peck of Westmore- land Place and were so prettily ar ranged in a tall vase, that they at tracted ones attention even among the many beautiful things displayed around them. There were also many of the shaded chrysanthemums the colors of which were blended red and oroId and gold and brown. These
