Velvet, brOcade, satin, crochet work
and beads are all impressed into serv-

anese and other embroideries contrib
ute additional materials, and among
the handsomest bags are those made Of
pieces of old Paisley shawls combined
With velvet. The most popular of all
the many different styles are bags
made of black velvet or black satin,
embroidered with steel beads. Steel
bead fringes and tassels finish them.
Unless they are made at home, SO
that the price of labor is eliminated,
these necessities of the woman of fash

consumed in making them and range
in price from $15 to 500. Black vel.

TURKEY An 'IDjUT'
At Least That Is the Opinion
Farmer Has Of the Great
American Bird.

Il
- annual Thanksgiving dinner lit
tie realize the months of prep
aratiOn which preceded the
feast. Their CranberrieS are on the
market. Turkeys, dressed and ready
for the oven; huge yellow pumpkins,
with the earth still clinging to their
gaudy sides; oranges, apples, grapes
and nuts all await the call Of the cpl
cure.
A trip to market gives the Iayman
an insight into the real business Of
Thanksgiving, and incidentally guam
tity of rura! folk lore which is ilu-
minating. Wandering around the wag-
OnS which line the sidewalks of the
market space, reporter the other day
came upon an old resident of Virginia
IA man with whiskers and magnifi-
cent quid Of tobacco and small sup
ply OF turkeys, the last named alive
and protesting vigorously. Against the
confinement of their crates. I
After little preliminary CONVEX
sation the old farmer dilated upon the
ways of the great American fete bird
and in his conversation knocked the
pedestal upon which the fowl is placed
sQuarely from under it's feet.
Biggest fool bird in the world" he
cOnfided to the reporter. "They amt
nothin' in the world that I've ever
found that's as big an idjut as q tur-
key"
"In what way?" was asked.
I'm every way" replied the farmer.
Il believe that the words not sense
enough to come in out of the rain was
written to describe turkey. Did
you ever know, for instance, that
turkey can drown itself during a rain
Storm?"
What" calculated the reporter.
Fact" said the farmer. Them
there birds hold up their heads during
q rainstorm exactly as if they was
trying to swallow the whole creation.
Naturally, they can't drink the entire
output. And l tell you as a fact,
that I've found cases where they man
aged to drown themselves"
Continuing on the peculiarities of
the bird, the old man said:
They're helpless critters, too. Amt
got as much gumptiOn about them as
a chicken. And frail-let me tell YOU,
young man, that turkey is the great
est natural-bnrn invalid in the world.
They have to be watched every minute
Or the first thing you know they'll no

warning.

more than half about them. Nobody
does-particularly why the Creator.
when he made 'em, didn't give 'em
minds"
DoeS 'llat Apply 10 wiz turkeys as
well as the tame ones?" asked the re-
porter.
The cid man spat thoughtfully and
profusely at chip of wood in the
street. He hit the mark.
CAS- to that" he said, 81 can't exact
~ say. "Mebbe there's something in
the idea that a turkey, when he's tame.
gets so used to hayin' folks make a
fuss over him that he jest naturally
loses all his ambition. There's one
thing ccrtcin--if every Wild turkey
was as big & fool rs some that I've
raised there wouldn't be live wild
turkey in the United States within q
year."-W&shington Star.

OlY Of REJOICING
Thanksgiving Celebration Is a
Great Event on Cotton
Plantation.
TUANKSGINING day on q cot
ton plantation means an open
heart and hand on the part of

ton plantation means an open
heart and hand on the part Of
the master and 4 full stomach, 4
day of happiness, and, consequently,
means, also, another, and. for that
little world, universal token, an Of
fering up of thanks for the numerous
little white pods which bring profits
TO the master and the winters provi-
SionS and clothes to the worker. But
it also means Il day of play to all.
Hard as is the labor of the cotton
plantation hands. they do some extra
work willingly for Thanksgiving day
for several weeks beforehand. 1t is Il
sure sign of the approach of Thanks
giving day when one sights here and
there through the woods the bobbing,
smoking pine torches that light the
way for dozen black, shining, grin
ming faces. 1t is the usual hunt for Mr..
PoSSum that keeps them from their
beds, and makes them scramble
through thickets, jump bitches and
wallOw through marshes.
For several nights the woods for
miles around the plantation are the
scene of night activities. 1t is easy
enough to find the trail Of 'pOsSum,
and when once located the dogs lead
a running, bowling band in the hunt.
Mr.. Possum is, however, a slow mover,
and when he hears the yelps of those
hounds and the bowls of the negroes
and sees the glare of the torches, he
gets up the nearest tree and settles on
limb.
Somehow the light fascinates him
and he usually settles on the lowest
limb. 1t is just what the hunters
want. Mr.. Possum is noted for his
fondncss for dead meat, consequently
Il 'possum that is shot is not the most
savory Of meats. Their object is to
catch him alive and when the tree is
reached he is surrounded by a ring of
blazing torches and bowling blacks I'M
til in sheer fright he drops off, plays
dead and is bundled into sack, to be
hustled off in the morning to the plan
tation pen. Sometimes two or three
are caught in q night and some of
them show fight. Once in the pen they
are fed for a couple of weeks with
food that takes away all trace of their
natural food and rounds out their
sides with good, sweet meat.
Several days before Thanksgiving
day some of the hands are taken from
the cotton fields and put to work
around the plantation buildings. This
is, with the exception of Christmas,
perhaps the most enjoyable task of
the year, for it means the preparation
for the feast which the plantation is
to give its hands on the day when
thanks offerings are made.
Usually this is spread in one Of
the big buildings On the plantation.
perhaps barn or cotton shed. The
hands are set to work at first to clear
out the place and make it clean. Then
they put together dozen or more long
improvised tables and benches, and
lastly they decorate the building with
all kinds of flags and bunting. On the
side near the center they also put up
the tidder's stand, for later in the
day there comes the usual dance. Sev-
cral days before, also, some of the
hands make barrels of gingc. beer and
sweet cider and stow them away to
ripen for the feast.
