FOR DINNER CARDS.

Appropriate Designs Help to Lend
Flavor to Thanksgiving Repast.
A great deal of the success Of a din
ner party depends upon the place
cards. although they are apparently a
very small detail Of the table.
But any woman who entertains a
good deal knows that quaint or un-
usual favors and cards call forth gen.
eral enthusiasm and interest among
the guests and give topic Of CONVEX
sation which lends cordiality to the
occasion. when otherwise there would
be stiffness and awkwardness at the
start which it would be somewhat diff
ficult to overthrow
Thanksgiving is usually the time for
a family reunion. and since families
meet together upon such occasions year
after year it is especially important to
introduce as much novelty in the table
itself as possible.
Silhouette pictures. used for place
cards. form interesting and acceptable
accessories for the table. These. out
lined and filed in solidly in black.
may take the shapes of turkeys,
pumpkins. pies, wishbones. etc. Part Of
the design may be left white. If de-
sired. for the writing of the name. or
the silhouette design may be pasted

The following in regard to papering
are useful facts to remember: Choose
a ceiling paper with a small design in
silver. which is almost invisible when
put on. The plain pulp ceiling paper
does not wear as we'll and will not
clean satisfactorily. 1t does not pay
to calcimine Il ceiling over paper if du-
rability is desired.
For side walls an oatmeal paper in
tan, taupe or putty color is inexpen-
sive artistic and it has splendid wear.
ing qualities, as it fades very little If
any and makes an excellent back
ground for pictures as we'll as harmo-
nizes with any color of rugs, draperies
and upholstering. This paper is wide
and is 30 cents roll. Being heavy 1t
covers poor walls much better than a
thinner quality. as cracks and defects
are not visible.
For sanitary reasons new paper
should never go on over old. A thor

remove the old very quickly. and If

may do it and save the time of pro-
fessional workman.

The clever and attractive daughter
OF Speaker Champ Clark gave the
stimulus to the nation wide movement
to promote the sale of cotton and thus
help southern cotton growers, mill
workers and people generally.
Miss Clark originated the idea for
the cotton fashion show in Washing
ton. Also she suggested the plan of
the nation wide bargain day sale of
cotton goods. Her ingenuity has done
much to populariZe cotton goods and
promote their sale.
In recent interview Miss Clark
said:
1T has been said that no person can
live so that his life only affects him
self. and so. while this problem is es-
sentially the problem Of the south, it
affects the northern section Of our
country by eliminating $40O.OOO.OOO
spent annually by southern cotton
growers in the north.
1T has been said by the business
men of the country, who understand
the financial situation, that there is no
real lack Of money in this country;
that the trouble lies in the fact that
people, anticipating stringency, are
holding on to what they have. Thus
should this idea Of great nation wide
bargain sale in cotton appeal to 1O,-
100000 women, each buying 81 worth
Of cotton materials on a certain day
would put in circulation $1O.OOO,OOO Of
the boarded gold. as most boarded
money is in gold, and to that extent
alleviate the stringency.
'The cotton factories of the country
are at this time putting out only about
one-half of the materials that they
are equipped to turn out. The reason
for this is that the merchants will not
buy any more cotton materials until
they have sold what they have on
hand.
"All the women of Europe, to meet
the crisis which they have had to face.
have gone in training for hospital and
commercial service. If the women of
America by using more cotton can
avert this crisis it is certainly their
patriotic duty to do so'
One Of the most charming and popu-
lar girls of the younger set in Wash
ington, Miss Clark is also clever and
energetic. There is no doubt that in
her cotton has valuable champion.

THE TRUE THANKSGIVING.
By Rev. Dr.. JOSEPH KRAUsKOpF Of
Philadelphia.


Il 10 we'll that our fathers in.
stituted the day Of Thanksgiv.
ing on which to be made con.
scious Of the countless blessings
that surrounded them and Of
their many obligations to rem
der praise and thanksgiving to
the author Of them all. In re-
turn for Gods mercy we should
think Of those in our midst not
90 blessed as we and give them
also opportunity for being
thankful and for rejoicing. The
truly grateful feels that God
does not lavish his blessings
upon the earth SO that a few
may enjoy great abundance
while others live in want. It is
wrong for one to enjoy the feast
and for another to endure the
fast.
The truest joy is that which
springs from bringing joy to
others. The truest gratitude 10
in that act which gives to others
the opportunity for being CRATE
full. The truest wealth is that
which kindness stores up in the
heart Of the sorrowing and suf.
fering. Our noblest acquisitions
live only in our charity.
