T~hanksgiying's UpIift

Persons who are modern and un,
grateful refuse to be preached to.
They do not go to church on Thanks
giving day. They stay 1t home and
read novels or newspapers and yawn
and wish the shops were open or that
some n would come in for a game of
bridge, or perhaps they go to the matt
nee But when the shadows fall there
is no sense of serenity or of peace
such as broods over a household where
every member has received a spiritual
uplift from the observance of a day OF
thanks.
That's why there ought to be an
an 'old fashioned" Thanksgiving In
every home where this paper is read.
The proclamation of our president
each year demands that we give
thanks not only as individuals, but as
q people.
If you are dissatisfied with the result
of the election you are probably say
ing, Gould anything be worse than
the political situation this Year,
Well, there might be war or revolu'
ton. And the political situation isn't
really affecting your comfort, is it
Then be thankful for peace.
Be thankful for plenty.
Be thankful for health.
Be thankful for friends and a home
and the love of the deal ones in your
home.

tivity, from nlA.ature representations
of the lordly gobbler to the homely but
palatable pumpkin. And, best of all,
many of these pretty fayors and place
cards can be made at home with very
little trouble.
There is perhaps nothing more effec-
tive among these new ideas than the
pumpkin centerpiece, OF Jack Horner
pie, as it is sometimes called. This is
really a most deceptive affair, for it
looks like a genuine pumpkin. but is
really cunningly fashioned from deep
yellow tissue paper held in shape by a
wire frame or a frame of rather stiff
cardboard. The stem and leaves are
made of dark green paper. The in
terror of the pumpkin is hollow and
can be filed with small fayors for the
guests, with ribbons leading from it to
each plate.
This table receives an added touch
of gayety from having the edges
wreathed with pumpkin vines adorned
both with blossoms and miniature
fruit. The vines themselves are made
of wire wound with a tiny twist of cot
tor batting and covered with green pa
per. Tie snail pumpkins are simply
balls of cotton on a wire stem covered
with yellow Grape paper, while the
blossoms are of yellow tissue.
just below the lace trimmed cloth
this same table is draped with a roll
of turkey paper. which is most effec-
tive. This is a white Grape paper on
which are printed large turkeys in nat
tural colors. 1t is gathered along the
upper edge very slightly and fastened
by psfning under the edge Of the table
cloth.
The place cards are small turkeys
with easel backs that can be made
from the little turkeys cut from the
paper napkins that are got out fol-
Thanksgiving. These little gobblers
should first be mounted on heavy card
board and then touched up with a little
gold paint on the feathers to give then
a hand painted effect.
A most amusing turkey centerpiect
represents the piece de resistance Of
the Thanksgiving table as a very sport,
bird indeed. He wears a high silk hat
he carries a cane under one arm, or
rather, under M claw. and in his heal
is cooked a long black cigar. His feath
ers are white and brown and his wat
ties a brilliant red, and his tail il
spread to its greatest extent. Put, with
al, he is a hollow sham, and his in
terror can be used as a receptacle TO
favors or bonbons.
One of these gay birds would certain
ly create a great deal of merriment a
the dinner table.

The Basis of ThankfuIness.

The unqualified acceptance of life,
with all its mystery and pain, all Its
labor and WEAKNESS and yet with all
its sweetness and joy and all its latent
potentiality-that is and forever must
be the basis of true gratitude, the one
great theme for thanks. Unless you
are grateful for life itself you cannot
be truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful for life
itself adds a tinge of celestial glory to
every simple blessing and makes today
akin to the vast forever.

Thanksgiving day ought to
mean much to churchsoers. 1t
is the one day in the year on
which sectarians sink all their
differences and unite in a COM
NOR worship before God.
Turkey Not From Turkey.

1t is unfortunate that such a truly
American product as the turkey should
have received such a name. Just how
it came to be christened turkey IL
a matter of conjecture, but n early
writer says: 1T appears to have beer
intended as a satire upon the solemn
strut of the bird. which might appear
to give it a resemblance to the pomp
Gus stride of a Turk. Most assuredly
it did not arise from the native place
of the bird, which has no connection
with eastern Europe or Asia. To sup
pose the bird meleagris. mentioned by
Greek writer's, to have been the tur
key is quite a mistake. When discov.
cred in America it was seer both In

Of which 1t is claimed that it holds the
palm of excellence. As the reputation
for luxurious living In this country be-
gan In the south, 1t will be well to COM
mence with a description of the rice
fattened birds of Maryland. They are
distinguished for delicacy of flesh and
favor which are impaired by their ex-
clusively rice diet, and their skin Is
remarkably white, as compared with
that of other poultry, which is also at
tributed to the character of feeding.
There are certain epicures who will

HE OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL.
What Better Fate For the Turkey Than
Making a Whole Nation Glad?

What finish more honorable and i'm
pressive for a bird than to be fated
to die to make happy an entire nation?
For this brief golden period the eagle
is only a remote symbol. The Thanks
giving bird is magically transformed
into a tempting thing of appetizing
odors, an eye enhancing vision of glis-
tening brown and bronze and bringing
in its train attendants of the field that
crisply show ivory white and pale emer-
aid and translucent, liquid ruby.
In the turkey at this season there
are the pride of country, the religious
sense of a nation and its sustaining
h~opefulness. the racial family spirit
that makes the whole world akin" and
provides the ve.y essence of pleasing
plenty.

Every One Chases
the Turkey at

"Giva da turk" grins the red shawl
ed little Italian woman, picking her
way through the wet alleys of the
tity market place. She reaches the
stalls where live birds are being sold
to these hardy souls who are equal to
the task Of carrying their purchases
home, sQuawking and struggling,
through the city streets. Madonna
Bella does not hesitate, however. She
picks out the iercest bird In the whole
pen and runs her capable fingers
through his feathers to feel If he really
is as fat as he looks. Then she waits,
her broad smile growing broader every
minute, as the dealer weighs her treas
ure. The men and boys, to whom the
day before Thanksgiving is one Of tho
most entertaining in the whole calen-
dar, stand around, shouting their glee,
and finally Madonna Bella reaches out
a strong hand, seizes her bird by the
legs and thrusts 1t into the folds Of her
apron, departing proudly down the
street. Next after her is a delegation
Of mirthful, rosy checked boys from
the settlements come to buy "a good

) REASONS FOR THANKFUL
! NESS.

For the manifold blessings
that Almighty God has show
cred upon US during the past
year; for prosperous Industries
and fertile fields; for contented
homes and peaceful marts; for
the growing recognition that
whatever is of solid benefit to a
single division of our people
must in time be of benefit to the
people as a whole; for the ex-
tension of education and the
fostering of the arts and sci
enees; for our preservation from
flood and famine, plague and
droueht-for these tokens of the
benionant and beneficent care of
a watchful Providence it is be-
coming that the people should
gather to offer thanks to Al
mighty God.
While in sorrow and compass
sion we view the misery and dew
astation which a world war has
brought TO our fellow beings
across the ocean, while we look
aghast at fields dyed with the
blood of brave men and wet with
the tears of women and little
children, at homes destroyed, at
commerce palsied, at proud
cities leveled to the dust and
progress giving way to desola-
ton, our minds must turn in
gratitude to him who has kept
our nation whole and unframed.

Thanksgiving day is a festival
for elderly people. The move
ment on that day is toward the
home where the father and
mother, the grandfather and
grandmother, live. 1t matters
not if we have made a home for
ourselves and if it be ever so
happy, it is to the home of boy
hood or eirIhood that we turn
on this day.

It was a beautiful and appro-

tom is found in most churches
today, it lives in the reunion of

Think o. your mercies, chill

bear in mind whenever troubles
threaten to overwheIm US, and
really if you do think of your
mercies you will surely find that
the troubles and the mercies are

Iifetimes, ever though during
their visitations we do rot al
ways think SO.
