Sittin' Round and Snifln'
After church the men folks will
mostly just sit round and sniff the
odors of the big ''roaster" and mince
and pumpkin pies and things which
will find their tantaliZin' way to den
and sitting room and parlor from the
teeming kitchen. The championship
football game between the local high
schools may interfere to some extent
with the dinner schedules; the game
will be called as usual at $50 o o'clock.
In the evening there will be many
little private dance and card party
and many and many little family re-
union between father and mother and
"the boys" and ''the girls and the
grandchildren which only just got un-
der way at the dinner table. The Co
lonial Country Club will have little
dance, but for the first time in many
years the annual Thanksgiving Day
gaieties at the Country Club of EIar-
risburg will not be in order. The fire
of a week or so ago precludes this.
Unto the Least of These
As always, however, when Harris
burg sits down to it's Thanksgiving dim
ner it will be with the grace that
always comes with the memory of
good deeds done to it's poor and needy.
The various charitable institutions
will have big day of it.
To-day hundreds of school children
carried donations of apples, potatoes
and other things to school to help
make this possible. The Harrisburg
Hospital will not share in this dis
tribution, as to-day and tomorrow
are on the calendar as the annual
hospital donation" days. From early
morning until evening the special de-
livery wagons will be busy hauling
things to the institutions storerooms.
Now Get This, Fellows!
Special dinners will be served at the
Harrisburg and the Polytechnic Hos
pitfalls, while something much out Of
the ordinary in the way of menus will
be provided at the county jail and the
almshouse. The City Rescue Mission
will serve dinner to many, while the
Salvation Army has planned feast
that will be memorable. Tomorrow
and Thursday will be donation days.
for the Sylvan Heights Orphanage.
The Day Nursery, the Children's In
dustrial Home, the Home of the
Friendless and other kindred insti-
tutions will all share in the bounty of
the school children of Harrisburg.
The chances are the florists Will be
busy folks too. The chrysanthemums
are just fine for the game, girls-and
fellows!
Well this is about all for the
Thanksgiving Day story for 1915, with
the exception of one important thing:
the Telegraph folks are going home
now, for to-morrow's holiday for the
Telegraph too.
