Latest American Fashions
By CORA MOORE.

Coral marquisetts, yellow-tinted point
applique and satin, matching exactly
the cream white Of the lace were used
in the development of this simple gown.
The skirt fastens down the side. curv
ing away at the foot to disclose the
ankle. and is plain and smooth fitting
at the top. while the tunic Of the mar
aufsette that falls over 1t is mounted
with many gathers, the resultant full
ness confined by the band of lace The
bodice, with its shallow neck cut we'll
away at the shoulders, and its tiny
oversieeves, has the fullness drawn down
straight over the bust and tucked in
under section Of the lace that rises from
the narrow belt line. Two similar Sec.
tons OF the point applique at either
side Of the back form a peplum.
There is nothing impressively new
about this model. but 1t takes on new
guise with every combination Of mate
rails. In black and white or in white
and black It is charming. Gold tinsel
cloth may be used in the skirt. or old
gold satin and the color matched in the

cotton marQuisettes and voiles come in
carefully graded weaves some Of them
large and loose Ineshed enough to be
taken Tor net, others as fine and as
transparent as the silk ones we have
been using SO freely this winter, and
they all have an assumed place among
spring and summer fabrics.
Neither are they necessarily reserved
for tunics. 1t is a new idea to have
the skirt Of marquisette or wolfe over
either batiste or silk foundation and
the tunic and bodice Of silk, taffeta or
messaline, and many a delightful con-
lection has been developed through these
mediums.

marQuisette was placed ever a founda-

quisette itself was bordered with small

delicate.

- THANKSGIVING Day is especially
observed by Uncle Sans SOL
diers and sailors. They are
~ never forgotten on that day, no
matter how they may fare on other
legal holidays. To say that Uncle
Sam provides lIberally for his fighting
force on Thanksgiving Day is putting
it mildly indeed, for then is the time
when the fighters receive their dinners
of the year.
The men of tho service sit down on
Thanksgiving Day to dinner beyond
the purse of the average civilian.
The commissaries of the army and
navy are great we'll oiled machines
almost impossible to duplicate In
private life, and the fighting men re-
ceive the full benefit Of It.
Thanksgiving Day finds the men Of
the army scattered from Maine to
tho Philippines and from Alaska to
Panama; so the problem of acquiring
Thanksgiving turkey is not q simple
one. 1t Is necessary to ship vast
quantities of refrigerated turkeys to
the Philippines from the United
States. This also holds true with
Panama, Alaska and Porto Rico.
Uncle SANS fighting men get turkey
but twice during the year--Thanks-
giving and Christmas-and Uncle
Sam is willing to ship the birds great
distances for the two holidays

The Origin Of Thanksgiving Dag

Thanksgiving Day was kept by legal
authority as holiday In 1914. Con-
temporary records show that business
was suspended for a portion OF the
day and the banks closed. Two years
later. November eth. tho authorities
at Warrington designated November
2s as Thanksgiving Day. The prooia-
nation was issued by the mayor and
the occasion was observed By tho peo-
pie.
Three years latar several ciergymsn
and members OF religious bodies In
Washington and elsewhere suggested
that the November Thanksgiving day
be made official by the President ~
a national festival. Zachariah Taylor,
then the occupant Of the White House.
was visited by g. delegation OF clergy
men and requested to act. His reply
was full recognition Of the national
custom and a sympathy Herewith. but
no stated that he preferred that the
official announcement Of the event BE-
left TO the state and munioipal
authorities.
Congress-. by special enactment, In
1870. made the fourth Thursday In
November OF each year legal hoiidey

territories Of the United States. SIM

Bird-HuntinS Crabs

TT is claimed by sportsmen that no
hunter can compete on even terms
y with the crabs on that little known
portion OF the British Empire. ths
island Of Sokotra. The sportsmen are
always checkmated by the big cruSta-
cesns. The lagoons swarm with fish
and are favorite resort for large
fiocks OF ducks. A difficulty arises in
obtaining any of this game on account
OF the presence Of these crabs. The
queer and htdeous creatures appear
to be amphibtous, for they excavate
tunnels In the banks OF tho lASoons
and then lie at the dry end Of the
openings to watch. Tho crabs are Of
a greenish yellow color and measure
fully a foot across. Should . bird

- THANKSGIVING Day is really al

national institution. PECULIARLY
though not solely American,
~ proclaimed annually by the
President and the governors Of states.
The history Of the day does not date

Fathers. A great deal has been writ

curate history Of this American festi-
val and some writer's. with strange
pcrversity. have overworked' their
pens to link Il in some manner with
European customs.
IT has been pointed out that days
for fasting and thanksgiving were Of
frequent occurrence In England from
the days OF Queen Elizabeth. Puritan
and Cavalier. It is said, were familiar
with the custom and transplanted it to
the new world. Other instances are
cited, but these In no way are really
connected with the American Thanks
giving.
There are few instances in
Colonial history that give an insight
into the origin of the November holi-
day. Gov. bradford, of the Plymouth
colony, in 1921. appointed q period of
Thanksgiving out of gratitude for a
| bountiful harvest. 1t was set for
November 81, and Gov. Bradford's
written account OF 1t has been pre-
served to this day. There was great
feasting and merry making. and even
