New Mexico And at the end of a month her ma
noeuvres had landed her in magnificent apartment
at the Hotel Arabesque, Manhattan, from the win
dows of which she could gaze upon the locked gates
of the city's social Notifications One good look at
them ought to have settled the social ambitions of
any brewers daughter with brains
But Edna Ritter, endowed with brains, was also
cursed with a magnificent imagination. Or blessed
if you like. And in addition to these handicaps
she thoroughly believed in the fiction she read
For week she sat beside her windows, perusing
bestsellers, the social columns in all the papers,
and inspecting certain chilly mass of limestone and
bronze architecture which composed the abiding
place OF William de Montfort Clifton. How to get
into it and stay there was her problem.
The house stood just across the avenue in direct

line from her windows.
Now, the young man
who resided there was
Edna's ideal of all that
was desirable socially,
financially, and senti-
men tally. And she
knew that, speaking
colloquially, she had
the cha noes Of the
classic SNOWFALL.
Had it not been for
Am erican Literature,
hope had died within
her the instant she set
her dain ty foot in
Gotham Town. But
even in full realization
Of the social gulf which
now yawned before
her in all its hideous
proportions, American
Literature came to her
aid.
And after a weeks
stea dy study of the
mon th S best selling
books, and after a cool
survey of her fresh,
young face and figure in
a triple mirror, she was
perfectly persuad ed
that a personal encoun-
ter with this young
man, under romantic
circumstances, would
prove as deadly to him
and as satisfactory to
her as any similar cpl
sode in any best seller
ever dicta ted to a
typewriter.
1t took her two or
three days to create,
mentally, the romantic
setting and clrcum-
stances for the scene.
Then she prepared to
enter the greatmansion.
But when at last
Edna set out to scale
the gilded bronze rail
ing, she started in the
opposite direction; for
her Ritter imagination,
now all afre, was in
spring her to an at
tempt as stupendous
as any coup ever ex-
ecuted by her father.

NOW, ulleSe same TWO
young people, who had
never even heard of
each other, appeared
to be perfectly capable
of handling what the
kind gods had so sud
denly dumped into
their laps: both, prop
erly advised, en- tered
into possession and en-
joyment of their indi-
vidual birthrights, and
settled down to respon-
sibilities which might
have appalled, matur-
ity, but which merely
mildly excited a young
man OF twenty-five and
a girl of twenty-one.

The business in life
for the young man was
to maintain the social
and financial prestige
of his race and name.
Conservative invest
ments, financial and So
cial, were traditional
in his family which
happened to be one of
those few families

as at home. William

It happened that their fathers put on immortality
within few hours of each other. 1t also happened
that the two youthful heirs came into their respective
inheritances on the same day.
Kings and C0MmiS-9OyagenrS are born upon the
same day: queens and cOuturi6yes. It's one Of
those things that happen.
The newspapers noticed nothing extraordinary
in the coincidence But Fate smiled and made a
memorandum on the border of her tunic, while
her two sisters continued spinning and shipping.

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE SEASON
Thanksgiving Should Find Its Best Expression in the Doing of Some
 Kindly Act.

To limit reasons for tharkfulness to mere material abundance, to national and individual prosperity, as so ofHen implied. is to overlook the greater causes of gratitude. Every now and then pathetic instances bring out the heartfelt expression that If one has health he has everything. Position and possessions count for little com pared to the simple retention or health. So, if a man or woman today, unbIessed by possession of the wealth or prosperity they think they ought to have, will ponder upon the bless ing of health or upon the preserYa- ton of the lives and health or those near and dear to them throughout lhS year they must find deeper cause for thanksgiving than any mere inere- ment in material things. This is the true reverence. the genuine spirit oi thanksgiving.
 But in expressing this spirit In thanksgiving services. in gladness and feasting, 1t must not be forgotten that the true thanksgiving Must come from the heart, and will find its fullest eI- pression fin kindly act, in considera- ton of those less fortunate and in as sisting to make others equally thank ful. The thankfulness that is limited to self is ungracious and unworthy.
 Yet even in temporal affairs the na- ton as a whole has cause for grati- tude. No country has been more blessed with abundance of crops. h. dustrial and commercial conditions are normal. We have been spared from any great disasters. As nac tion we are at peace with the world. The census shows spiendie growth. We face the future not ohls with confidence but enthusiasm

This, with NMAX reminiscent sadness. &ssSHZ| If there was not turk Ez<EZ/E ing sentiment for the ezNS9 splendor of good-fel- iowship, for the charm of simplicity and the peace that comes from a con tented heart, that marked the old-time Thanksgiving, there would be no re- eret for the good old days that are gone. But why can't they be con tured back again that we might cher ish the generous spirit of that house hold festiYal2
 It is the character of the day that we would have back again-the after math of the harvest, with it's spirit of joyousness, the bounteous feast gathering together the family, making sacred the beauty Of home ties.
 In old New England a bustie of preparation began leRS before the ap- pointed day The turkey, strutting in naughty disregard Of his fate. was watched with furtive eyes and fed with liberal care. The pumpkins were gathered and lay with faces upturned to the sun. Vegetables, fruits. nuts, raisins and eitron were heaped in plen- ty upon the pantry shelf. And within, tyE4o borrse was apInxv in ioyful apfici- patton of the coming guests-a true hospitality not so elaborate as it was bountiful and not so luxurious as healthful but replete with a rare kindliness and grace.
 And when the feast was over, and the long afternoon of sport and games was spent, and the shadows of eve ming closed round. the great assem- blaze crowded about the huge fire place. How gayly the popcorn splut- tered. how clear was the cider passed round! Hearts overfowing with jol- lity and gratitude burst into song: Al, on Thanksgiving day. when from east
 and from west,
 From north and from south. come the pil-
 grim and guest.
 When the gray-haired New Englander
 sees round his board.
 The old broken links of affection re-
 stored
 When the care-wearied man seeks his
 mother once more.
 And the worn matron smiles where the
 girl smiled before.
 This was the spirit of old-time Thanksgiving.
