A Homemade
Thanksgiving Dinner
BY ELEANOR MARSH

Chamberllns were well to do aud kept
two servants. Until recent years a
cook and chamhermaid were consider
ed essential In every well regulated
family. Hair 4 century ago excellent
servants were tp I've had ut reasonable
wages and were a great relief aud com.

they were doing well. Even then many
of the choice bits brought TO the Ia.
BILE were spoiled In the cooking. Take
1t all together. the servant question
was with them what II is with most
families, a destroyer Of domestic com
fort.
A few days before Thanksgiving
Mrs. Chamberlin's cook left her. The
family were invited TO dine with rel
ative. Mrs. Chamberlin and her daugh-
ter accepted but Roger preferred his
club.
Now, there was a girl. Alice Wood

able TO get clutch on him. She heard
that he was intending TO dine on
Thanksgiving at his club and con

dining room with a flaming face and

Now, listen 10 what Alice Woodruff

Then she excused herself for a few

Be reasonable. Talk quietly
Know what you are going to say be-

Bomb-ThroWing Machine

According to the breathless per-
son there was mountaineering me
chine aboard the Vikar. This led
one to believe if there was a machine
for throwing bombs there certainly
must be a few bombs hanging
around. So the expedition Jared
forth in search of the bombs and
other discriminating evidence, each
manufacturing gripping chair of
evidence to weave about the culprits
and hold them fast in the meshes of
the law Many theories were ex-
pounded on the way.
A Dutch windmill, or rather one
that looked like the kind that cover
the lands adjacent to the Zeider Zee
In Holland, was the object which the
GREATNESS sleuth had said was a
bomb-throwing machine. Bat in
stead of throwing bombs IL was
throwing stream of water. At first
one of the expedition thought it was
a new kind of liquid bomb, but when
they got close enough they found it
was rot, because it smelled like bilge
water.

BOMB MACHINE WAS WINDMILL
Savannah PreSS)

A man rushed into The Press Of
fee. He was breathless from a long
run through the heated streets. "a
bomb-thrower," he painted as he
mopped his perspiring brow.
"Aboard the Vikar."
That started some more excite
ment. 1t is not bad enough to find
three alleged German spies were
merely school teachers on a hike
through the country at Hardeeville.
Somebody had to start somethine
close to Savannah. So an expedition
started out for the Vikar, the Nor.
wegian bark which arrived recently
in port.

That quotation popped into my
head the other day when a little
whirlwind of schoolgirl impulsive-
ness swept into her mothe's living
room, where we were sitting, greet
ed us, dumped an armful of books on
the couch, flung a coat over chair,
and passed on upstairs.
When she came back into the
room her mother greeted her with
a sigh: "Will you ever learn to be
more orderly, Margaret? l thought
you told me on your birthday that
you were really going to try not to
leave everything wherever you hap
pened to be. And just look at that"
The sunshine went out Of Mar

the coat.

tone that could not be disregarded.
Margaret picked up the books and
turned quickly to leave the room,
but not so quickly that l did not see
the tears brimming in her eyes.
