What did our Puritan ancestors dine on at
their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which is being fol-
lowed today on the Thanksgiving dinner
menus.
We know that some things were lacking that
they must have greatly missed. There could
have been no butter, cream, milk. cheese or
any dish that is principally made with milk,
because there we're no COWS in New England
until 1923, when John Winthrop. later their
worshipful governor, brought over four COWS
from England. The butter and cheese that
they took with them on the Mayfower were
long since consumed I hardly think they had
chicken pie for the feast. for the fowls were
served as rare delicacy for the sick They
could have had eggs for their pies and pud-
dings. Since they raised pumpkins they might
have had pumpkin pies. if they made them
with water
In the ocean there was great abundance OF
fish, oysters, and other shellfsh. OF course,
there was none of their national dish, prime
roast beef. no veal, lamb. mutton or pork
There was plenty of deer. which would be
good substitute in vension But they had one
thing that We like better than anything else
on Thanksgiving day. Wild turkeys were very
abundant In the woods and fields about Ply

mouth, and the Indians went out and shot
large number of them, and made them their
contribution to the feast. Governor Bradf0o
says In his history that they were delicious
to eat. How fitting it is that the bird that Is
the browning glory of our Thanksgiving board
should have been the favorite meat of that his
toric first Thanksgiving dinner!
There were doubtless, onions, beets. pars-
nips, cabbage or colewort, squash, and perhaps
other vegetables, for good variety OF seeos
were brought over from Holland. Perhaps
there was succotash and the Indians must
have made It, for 1t was something that the
Pilgrim cooks had never heard Of before. ana
we know that they learned later from the In
dams how to make 1t. Now, what did they
have for dessert, l wonder? I think they may
have had some sort of pudding with buckle
berries for plums. l doubt if they had mach

pies, as their stock of sugar and molasses vas
very limited. Perhaps they had substitute
There were fine wild grapes in the woods, and
they had doubtless dried a store of wild straw
berries, cherries and plums. They surely d1d
not have any mince pies, since the Pilgrims
thought mince pies were very wicked, and
savored of Romanism. So they condemned

I'm just about tired of waiting
For my Thanksgiving treat:
/ see them about the table,
And they eat, and eat, and eat.
They do not think Of poor pussy.
Who has had so long to walt:
Why doesn't some one remember
That it's growing very late.
And haven't smelt that turkey
Since into the oven 1t went?
If they'd give just one drumstck.
Why, then I'd be content.
But no, they sit there talking
And laughing aloud with glee;
I wish that some one among them
Would throw down bone to me.
There's that greedy little Teddy,
Three times he's passed his plate:
And that turkeys growing smaller
At a very rapid rate.
And see Jacks face! IT'S shining
With gravy up to his eyes.

When they hear my hungry cries.
Oh, dear! There's dessert to follow.

And the fruits and nuts and candy.
And oh, how fast times flies!

She's so loving and so kind,
She's bringing me some turkey bones
And a grateful cat she'll find.

fare for the November holiday have been
greatly Increased In number variety. Your
hearty diner demands on Thanksgiving the es-
sentfals such as turkey and celery and cram
berry sauce and pumpkin pie which were the
stand-bys of the feast in the days of his father
and his grandfather before him. The point is
that some of the eatables are unquestionably
more favory than were their counterparts Of
several decades ago, and-with all due respect
to the kind that mother used to Wholesome
of the modern recipes seem to put it all over
the old-tmers in garnlshes and the prepare
ton of buildings and pastry, etc.
And, speaking of the changes that have
come about, take the case of the toothsome
turkey, headl1ner of the whole holiday menu.
1t would be futile to try to convince the high
liver of the twentieth century who revels in
his milk-fed or chestnut-fed turkey from Rhode
Island the middle west that his forefathers
ever enjoyed anything delicious. Certainly
turkeys have increased in size too, judging
by the average weight those that find their
way to market However, this latter develop
ment Is clearly traceable to the tendency OF
turkey raisers to devote themselves almost
exclusively to the Bronze. the largest of the
six standard varieties of turkeys.
However, there are two sides to this turkey
story and the housewives who preside over
small families are the ones who have had
brought home to them the Instantaneous
side of this boom in the size Of turkeys. With
the big bronze birds weighing from 16 to SO
pounds apiece-and usually nearer the latter
than the former f1gure-crowding the market
it is becoming every year more difficult for
the buyer of family of two or three people
to find a satisfactory six, seven or eight pound
turkey. 1t really begins to look as though the
small families would be driven to hotels on
Thanksgiving or else be compelled to take In
boarders or entertain all their friends at the
holiday dinner
Turkey buying too, is the phase Of the
Thanksgiving marketing where the increased
cost of living most severely pinches the man
with the stationary income dweller in any
of our large cities may consider himself de-
cidedly in luck these days if he succeeds in
getting tender turkey at Thanksgiving for
Is cents per pound, and he is much more likely
to be asked any figure up to IS or 40 cents per
pound which prices have prevailed every
Thanksgiving in recent years in the New York
and Boston markets for the choicest birds.
The people of the central west have an ad-
vantage over eastern turkey eaters. because
