"H HE great American nation takeC
holiday at the bidding of the
president every November. Our
many states all unite In keeping
the beautiful festival Of Thanksgiving.
the giving of thanks implies a recog-
milton of One, unseen but everything,
who sends the world the gifts on
which it's existence depends. From
Almighty God we receive the rain, the
sunshine, the summers heat and the
winters cold, the bread we eat, the
fuel that warns us and the clothing
We wear. There are few so foolish or
so stupid as not to believe in the
great Creator and the kind All-Father,
from whose hand our daily blessings
come. Especially should you and
have a thought Of him when the
myriad, homes of the country are en-
joying at this season the gifts that
must be traced directly to the kind
ness of heaven. The great nation
keeps Thanksgiving, but the great ma
ton is composed OF millions of indi-
vidual persons. among them you who
read and / who write. Suppose we
stop and ask ourselves what we like
best about this holiday and what spirit
we may most fittingly bring to its
celebration.
First, think we like II because II
Is 50 genial and iolly, so cheerful and
bright, so patriotic and stirring day.
Thousands of families are reunited at
the Thanksgiving dinner. The trains
that come to New England or Penn
sylyania or Illinois, from California,
Oregon and Nevada, bring home for
Thanksgiving men and women who
want to be boys and girls once more
under the old roof.
/ remember watching from a train
as it stopped at a station the delight
ed greeting Of half-dozen people who
seemed to be father, mother, sons and
daughters, as they swarmed upon
dear little old lady who was waiting
; to receive them. Her husband.
white-haired patriarch. who might
haze sat for the portrait Of, Santa
Claus. was holding his horses while
the children and grandchildren
thronged into the big four-seated
wagon. They had come home for
Thanksgiving. Many such scenes will
be enacted this year, as they have
been every year since our country was
settled.
If we have been so unwise as to let
a pessimistic spirit weave its evil spell
around us, let rs break the fetters
without delay. Wherever we are. at
home or abroad, rich or poor let US be
thankful that We have reached anoth-
er golden milestone in life repeat
that Thanksgiving is genial. cheer
full. wholesome and breezy day. Let
US make the best out Of 1t, and wher-
ever we are be as Jolly as we can.

Much to Be Thankful For.

If.eyer we are tempted to say that
though others have much to be thank
full for. our lives are hard and our
paths are thorny. let US stop minute
and see by what standard we are
measuring our blessings. IL we look

well and that We can walk and run
without so much as considering the
effort. II we see somebody who is
barefooted. we may be thankful for

TAyORS for the Thanksgiving din
ner table may be made OF pulled
- figs. raisins and nuts. held to-
gether with toothpicks and topped
with marshmallow heads. the features
outlined in chocolate. Each OF these
little figures should be mounted on
fiat foundation made OF thick, firm
cookie and the toothpick legs made to
stand upright by embedding them In
little mound OF chocolate frosting
which should extend outward TO form
the feet.
Two large raisins, the stem ends
thrust into the toothpicks, form the
legs and two small pulled figs serve
as a dress, the figs being thrust on
the toothpicks so that the tapering
stem ends shall meet TO form a waist
line. Two raisins are used for each
arm, ending in single peanut for
hand.
The marshmallow head is covered
with chocolate except on one side,
where chocolate features are drawn
with toothpick dipped in melted
chocolate. A peaked hat made from
half fig should top the grotesque
little figure.
For this work pulled figs are abso-
lutely necessary. Ordinary layer figs
viii not do, as to make the bodies
OF these figures the figs must be OF
natural shape. These figs come
packed in small baskets and one
basket of figs at 25 cents will make
six favors.
Another style of favor can be fash
Toned from short, thick sticks OF
candy. Top the stick with marsh
mallow head, pinching II round, and
drawing chocolate features and lit
tie curl down the forehead Press a
couple OF figs very thin and curl them
around the candy doll, keeping them
out from the body by means of tooth
picks held to the stick of candy with
white frosting. If the stick OF candy
tons down the front and rest the alb
surd little favor on a square Of
sugared popcorn.
If these favors are chosen for the
children Of the family, the grown per-
sons may have something different.
Choose paper lorgnons for the wom-
en-, the eyeglass portion representing
two miniature pumpkins and the long
handle Stimulating their stem. Cut
the pattern OF a good sized lorgnon
from cardboard, covering the handle
with dull green crepe paper.
Cut four yellow pumpkins from the
crepe paper that comes so decorated
and cover the eyeglass portion of the
lorgnon on both sides. Cut holes for
the eyes so that these favors may
be actually used while at the table.
A bow of bright yellow ribbon tied
half way down the handle OF the
lorgnon is a pretty addition.
For the men have long rolls OF yell

late snap motto papers. Instead OF
the usual folded paper cap inside con-
