season between Lent and
summer of more than ordinary in
terest. While the large social or
CARNATIONS. like the Nine O'Clock

probable that several large dances
will be given after Easter this year.
The Piedmont Driving club will
resume its weekend dinner dances
and there will be many dances at
East Lake and at Brookhaven. The
affairs for the Easter visitors VIII

OLD CoDGER is REMINISCENT
Like So Many That Have "Had Their

the Good old Days.

In youth had an appetite that rare

1 often rose and creeping on my tippy
toes stole to the pantry on the sly to
finish up pumpkin pie.
An ordinary aeal for me would sat

The cribs were bursting with the corn;
the chestnuts strewed the ground at
morn until the little boys were out to
gather them with laugh and shout.
Uncles and aunts and cousins came to
Join in Jest and song and game. The
little pigs were sleek and fat; the tur-
key ne'er euspicioned that the day OF
doom was near at hand, but spread his
tail with manner grand, and gobbled
with the same old pride up to the very
DAY he died.
Then came the climax Of my story
Thanksgiving dinner in its glory. The
family table was increased to twice

In ancient history days the feast Of
Thanksgiving lasted during one phase
of the moon and was sort Of harvest

Feast of Tabernacles. The offerings
which the ancient Hebrews made to
God on this occasion were gold, silver
and precious stuffs, besides laborers to
work upon the rebuilding of the House
of God. Read the first chapter Of Ezra
and you viii find that this is so. The
Thanksgiving was an occasion of great
pomp and ceremony. Workers in the
church of God from the head dignitary
to the least among them we're clothed
In purple and fine linen and wore gold
en- bands upon their turbans bearing
the inscription, Holiness to the Lord"
They blew great trurnpets as a signal,
and all the people gathered together in
the open places OF the cities singing
and praising God and giving thanks.
Moreover, the building received the
name Of the builder The Temple Of
Zerubbabel, for example, was built by
Zerubbabel under King Cyrus. So the

NATIONS DAY or GRATITUDE
Henry Ward Beeeher Has splendidly
Set Forth the Season of Universal
Rejoicing.

Henry Ward Beeoher expressed him
self as beautifully on Thanksgiving az
any man ever has. Said he:
Thanksgiving day is the one ma
tional festival which turns on home
life. 1t is not day Of ecclesiastical
saints. 1t is not national anniver'
sary. 1t is not q day celebrating re
ligious event. 1t is a day Of nature. II
is day Of thanksgiving for the years
history. And il must pivot on the
household. 1t is the one great festival
of our American life that piYots on the
household. A typical Thanksgiving
dinner represents everything that has
grown in all the summer, fit to make
glad the heart Of man. It is not a riot
ous feast. IT is table piled high
among the group Of rolhcking young
and cid, with the treasures Of the grow
ing year, accepted with rejoicinge and
interchange Of many festivities as q
token Of gratitude to Almighty God.
Remember Gods bounty in the
year. String the pearls OF his favor
Hide the dark parts except SO far as
they are breaking out in light. Give
this one day to thanks to Joy, to graft
tude"--Le Rows pieces for Every
Occasion"
