them rather rare-though this is a matter Of
taste.
Using knife and fork, however, is strictly

This dinner is admirably adapted to a small
family, and one or two additional guests NAV
be added TO the original number with very
slight extra expenditure. The soup, salad and
coffee are the only items in which the in

only SIX persons are provided for, there will

By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

n THANKSGIVING is so essentially the
hostoss's and housewives day, when it
is her privilege to gather around her
hospital board both guests and relatives, that
especial pains should be taken to have the
dinner as nearly perfect as possible
In these days Of nigh prices the planning Of
the holiday menu is always more or less Of
problem: but when a real Thanksgiving dinner
is in question, as many as possible Of the de-
hcious oldtime dainties are usually included
such as oyster and cream Of corn soup, turkey
stuffed with the traditional oyster or nut dress
ing baked Indian pudding, the old-fashioned
New England election cake, homemade mince
and the deep, luscious pumpkin pie, cider APP
pie sauce, cranberry Jelly, and the three his
toric vegetables-held sacred TO the day
sweet potatoes, creamed onions and mashed
turnips.
Naturally, the plans for the holiday dinner
will depend upon the number Of guests to be
entertained and the resources at the house
keepers command. In the following menus
will be found suggestions and prices for the
large dinner party, as well as less elaborate
ones suited to more modest requirements. The
clever caterer will see that they may be easily
changed, and certain dishes transferred from
one 70 the other 10 suit her individual require
