Thanksgiving Brings Good Cheer, and
 Riddles Understand Day.
 The spirit of Thanksgiving pene- trates not only the uttics and tene- ments of the poor of the big cities. but many dwellings of the sick and un- fortunate. In the great hospitals the kiddies in the COnvalesCent wards have A real Thanksgiving dinner, and as a member of hospital staff said:
 Most of them are thankful they re in the hospital on Thanksgiving day. It's the best place for them. If they were at home they'd be miserable and lone some probably. In the hospital there are other children about with whom they can celebrate"
 In practically all of the Settlement houses the harvest feast is enjoyed whatever the nationality of the "neighbors." No little Italian or Pole but learns the joy of turkey day" One wonders sometimes just what the vision may be in the innermOst recesses of TOny's little soul, but there Is no hesitation fin his manner as he an. swers:
 Please, teacher. Thanksgiving is the day what my mother gets turkey by the church. IL is to be thankful to the Lord for the things we're thankful for"
 It took a public sehoOheacher to ex- plain the glibness of these little for elgn tongues.
 Why, of course" she said, they learn the story of Thanksgiving almost before they can speak English. They have pictures of the pilgrims and the Indians. harvest fields and pumpkins and corn and turkeys. Well, l don't suppose they ever saw pumpkins grow Ing or have any conception of what harvest means to the farmers, but they're clever little things They have some kind of vision of something good. It's wonderful how quickly they ac- quire veneer of American ideas. It's only veneer. and it's pretty thin in places. but 1t gets them through"
