Origin of Thanksgiving

In colonial days il was customary
to appoint days of fasting or feast
ing. of prayer or thanksgiving. when
public events seemed to warrant this
recognition. In 17Se Washington or
dered a day of thanksgiving for the
adoption of the Federal constitution.
Subsequently various days in Novena-
Der were recommended by presidents
and governors until in 1868 the regu-
lar observance of a national Thanks
giving day was instituted through a
proclamation of President Lincoln.

With al these fancy dress parties

the church mouse would be considered
wealthy compared to me. Then a
| happy thought came-that Aunt
Katheryn might volunteer to help me
out. She's awf1lly good unless you
| bother her on her nervous days; so
I donned my incest calling costume,
the dark blue velvet, trimmed with
white fox, and stopped at the flor
lists for a bunch Of her favorite roses.
She was just ready to sit down to
lunch when L arrived, and we had q
real chatty time. In the course Of the

She led the way TO her room, and,

cherished it since her school days,
when she had taken part in a play.

rich creamy tone. and it was trimmed
with narrow ruches Of the satin.

It transformed into the most stun
ming crinoline frock that could be
worn to any Of the dances. 1t was
that soft, clingy satin, SO I decided
to wear hoops under It at the ball,
and allow it to fall naturally for
other affairs
Home I took the dress after pro-
fuse thanks to Aunt Katheryn, and
with the help of Mrs Nation created
a gown that would, 1 am sure, have
rivaled any designed by the French
couturieres. We did not change the
bodice, which fits closely and ends
at the normal waist line, save for the
addition of a bertha of black velvet.
This we draped In soft folds about
the decolletage, and chose three pink
roses to ornament the front. Then
to the bodice We gathered the fun
skirt. shortened a trifie to show the
fascinating bit of the narrow, white
chiffon underskirt. Narrow bands of
black fur, edging the skirt and
sleeves. leaves nothing to be desired,
and l closely resemble the pictures
of my ante-bellum ancestors frocked
with this gown.

I answered Billy Drayton, for she
always alludes to him as that nice
young man" He's so tall and rather
thin. I wonder how he'll look as a

Blessings be on the head OF Aunt

Into the nursery rushed the three
girls, each in turn giving baby Bus

to the corner where Dorothy's dolls
reigned supreme.
1t was a pleasant place, was the
nursery. A place where the sun
streamed in upon a disorder that
told of the activities of healthy,

the toys that were baby Busters,

all the other things which were
