As thanksgiving Is a national Gus

somely and make it not only feast to
the palate, but to the eye. Nothing
can do this so well as the adjournment
of the table with flower and leaf and
vine.

GODS COMMANDS FOR
THANKS ARE BUT
LOVING REQUESTS.

BY Rev. DR.. RUSSELL H. con-
WELL OF Philadelphia.
TOD commands us to give
~ thanks, and all his COM
mands are but directions to do
those things which are for our
good. His commands are In real
ity but loving requests.
Thanksgiving day is but a re-
mlnder OF the great privileges
and OF the blessing which all re-
ceive who train themselves to
give thanks.
1t Is of far more benefit to the
recipient of Christmas present
to be grateful than 1t Is to re-
celve a gift itself. 1t is very
wise to be grateful for last
years Christmas presents.
Cultivate habit Of mind
which will make you grateful to
God and to all your friends and
ancestors. for with grateful
heart you will appreciate much
more and be in every way
better and happier man.

At THE OREGON THEATRE
.Thc GIL in the Taxi"


When THE Girl in the Taxi that
merriest of all laughing successes
which created sensation in Paris
and scored the greatest triumph of
any play of its kind produced in this
country last season. and which comes
to the Oregon theater tonight, was
put in rehearsal, the greatest care
was taken to overlook not even the
smallest detail in equipment and at
mosphere. The first and third acts
of 'The Girl in the Taxi occurs in
the beautifully appointed home of
John Stewart on Riverside Drive,
New York. Instructions were issued
to the stage director to pay person
al visit to the residence of a 'ealthy
banker who lives on the Drive and to
copy m!nutely every detail of the
| living room in his mansion. Nothing
was omitted. Photographs were ta
ken of the room, of the furniture the
! decorations and the electrical equip
ment. The carpet and the costly
rugs were likewise copied and dupli-
| Gated when the play was produced.
An artist accompanied the stage III
rector and noted the color scheme Of
the apartment, and the scenery was
painted in accordance with his draw
ings.
The home selected overlooked the
beautiful Hudson river with the
wonderful Palisades in the back
ground. A painting was made of
this scene, and its duplicate may be
seen when the curtain rises on the
first act of the hilarious piece.
The second act of THE Girl in the
