The Thanksgiving Table

Vegetables can be used for decora-
ton of the Thanksgiving day dinner
table, making an appropriate adorn-
ment. The centerpiece can be formed
OF vegetables piled up in the center of
the table. Carrots, turnips, parsnips,
sweet and white potatoes, celery tops,
a red and a green cabbage, can all be
used if they are scrubbed clean and
wiped dry. Their colors are beautiful,
and if they are neatly mounded and
then edged with a border of fresh green
parsley they will be quite effective.
About the centerpiece candlesticks
formed of vegetables can be grouped.
Big carrots make good candlesticlzs.
Cut off the big end to make a solid
foundation on which these candlesticks
can rest and cut off some of the taper
ing end so that the end left will be
half an inch bigger in diameter than
the candles used. Then scoop out a
little cup to hold the candle.
Cucumbers cut On one side so that
they will sit soIidly on the table, with
a little cup followed in each end, can
be used for holding two candles each.
Turnips, potatoes and parsnips can all
be used.
The place cards to go with this sort
Of decoration might be hand painted
vegetables, with waving, rootlike arms

There are poppy crackers on sale
that would make appropriate favors to
go with these vegetable decorations.
They cost about $1.25 q dozen. Three

three with tomatoes, three with pump

A big paper turkey that costs about
$1.25, filled with candies, might serve
as the centerpiece, and at each place
could be put small paper turkeys, also
filed with candy, which cost from Is
to % cents apiece.
There are small fruit boxes sold,
filled with candies by some cOnfection-
ers, that are also attractive favors.
More useful fayors can be found in
the small silk fruits and vegetables
that are sold for prices that range from
% cents to 81. Carrots and parsnips
apples and pears are included in these
fruits and vegetables, and they are all

the tiny wax vegetables and fruits that
cost 10 or Is cents also make appro
pirate and acceptable favors.
