THANKSGIVING

CFrom the Sun of November 29, 1882.) Though shr1n voiced winds go bawling And sober skies look grim and mur-
 ky,
 Men keep the feast of pumpkin pie And slap the pompous bird of Tur-
 key The crop haired saints of Plymouth
 Rock,
 Exiled the Mayf1ower's sacred wood At every other feast could mock, But-they were human-Ioved their
 puddin'; With sermon, prayer and psa1mody
 they rendered. thanks in meeting, Then homeward soIemnly they trudged
 and rendered thanks by eating. Far north Of Massachusetts Bay, And westward ever wide and wider, Has spread the honor of the day And flowed it's hospitab1e cider For all its roaming prodigals The fatted calf the father slaughters; 1; The smiling mother round her calls Her lusty sons and 1issome daug9h-
 ters Loves beacon, lighted from old days
 their honeward steps is leading, And some, whom life has swindled, are
 not loath to find good feeding Happy he who hearth is spared by
 fate,
 Whose ca1Rer pulses do not jingle, As, musing by his lonely grate, He minds him of a dearer ing1e, Around whose fires with glowing
 hearts
 His blood and name were wont to
 cluster An, we'll that kind of wound still
 smarts
 Beneath the balm of many a 1ustrei Shall we give thanks that strangers
 sit within our ha1lowed places, Or praise that now the dust of death
 enshrouds the dear lost faces? Go buy a turkey for the poor, And make an end to silly questions Thank God, for once that you are sure To 'scape Thanksgiving tndigestfons dark November knows no
 ruth
 For flower or song the frolic May
 had Yet for the golden hopes of youth, As for the memories of the gray
 head, For the long peace of all the dead, for
 the brief days of all men living, May even wandering, homeless hearts
 make glad Thanksgiving!

Easy and Practical Suggestions
 TOR THE HOME DRESSMAnER

As velvet is used so extensively for women of all ages this season, the fabric is suggested for this little frock, ii 1t IS to serve for dressy purposes. The dropping shoulders are met by long one piece sleeves, finished with cuffs of embroidered linen. The collar corresponds with the cuffs and these details may be detachable, if desired.
 To make the dress requires yards of 54-inch material or 2K yards of 44-inch velvet.
 Cloth, ratine, eponge, cachmir, voi1e or velveteen may be used for a less expensive model that Is quite as smart and self-hgured satins, provided the latter have a very small design, are also acceptable for this purpose.
 In addition to the embroidered col lar, the neck is finished with a tie oi satin whose ends are laced through incisions made on the front of the dress for the trimming.
 Now, for the making. Begin by s1ashing to the left of center-front on double "oo" perforations, then finish edges for opening. Tuck the front and back, creasing on slot perforations /; stitch one inch from folded edges. Slash across center-front between small 'to'' perforations to insert ribbon. Close under-arm seam as notched, close shoulder seam. Turn hem at lower edge of dress on small "o'' per- forations. Gather front and back on cross1ines of small 70" perforations: :: adjust belt to position over gathers (double %" perforation indicates up- per front edge of be1t), bringing single small 70" perforations to under-arm seam and front and back edges under tucks. Sew collars to neck edge as notched.
 Sleeve-For short sleeve, see cut ting directions. Close seam as notcf- ed. Close cuff seam as notched, sew to long sleeve as notched. Sew sleeve in armho1e as notched.
 If a permanent trimming is desired, cotton silk is suggested for the col1a~ and cuffs in which instance it would also be well to have the belt of figured silk.
