the year of blessings.
After this meeting" the families re-
turn home, where a wonderful feast
is spread.
The first Thanksgiving feast lasted
three days. We of the present usually
spend three hours about the "groan-
ing board" filled with all the delicacies
the season affords. Try to make this
dinner as interesting as possible. Any
original feature introduced is always
we'll received.
Colonial costumes may be worn or
the dinner served in an old-fashioned
manner.
Pewter dishes or rare old china
should he used for this event, If for
no other. The table decorations may
be of flowers, fruit or anything which
is appropriate.
Brass or colonial glass candlesticks
should be used without shades.
For souvenirs of the dinner make
pretty place cards. The hostess will
find this a comparatively easy matter
If she follows these suggestions.
The designs given here are especial
ly attractive and can be duplicated by
placing sheet of carbon paper be-
tween the drawing and the card or a
piece of watercolor paper Now care.

the years.
Color this place card in the natural

The pine tree design recalls a line
from the Pilgrim song, "The trees
against the stormy sky their giant
branches tossed" The stern, rock
bound coast of New England boasts of
it's sturdy pine trees. Here are two
majestically silhouetted against the

They can be colored dark green with
a blush gray background or black If
preferred.

And still the whistle shrieked. It

Further inquiry elected that a whis-
tie on one Of the locomotives in .
railroad yard on New Jersey avenue
had broken, and couldn't be stopped
from shrieking until it had made it's
run to the station.
Despite the alarm and "corrobo-

tributions for the sufferers were COL

COLONEL GORGks' WORK IN CANAL ZONE

The last, and one Of the greatest
of all the feats on the lsthmus, was
not accomplished by the engineers
1t is the marvellous work by which
Colonel Gorgas of the medical corps
cleaned up the canal zone and made
it possible for men to work there.
Before the Americans came the 18th
mus of Panama was notorious as the
most unhealthful place in the world.
The French diggers of the canal were
beaten by yellow fever. When the
Panama railroad was built 1t was
said. though the statement is prob
ably an exaggeration, that every tie
in the road represented mans life.
The cities of Panama and Colon were
sinks Of filth and corruption.
There, Is no yellow fever now in
the canal zone and there has been
none for several years. Malarial
fever has almost disappeared. The
death rate is lower than anywhere
else in the United States or its pos
sessions. The zone is being adver-
