your mother I'd look after you, the
city's ways aren't the c0untry's ways
leastwise, not so I'd know it. And I
want to see you get on" She was
thinking secretly Of a new rug she
might like herself. "Just work the old
boy for all he's worth, but take my ad-
vice, and never fall in love. They're
done with you then, and you lose inter-
est in Others"
Lydia had sat partly listening and
partly dreaming of the Thanksgiving
at home-the long table, her fathers
jokes, the children's ceaseless chatter,
her mother hot and tired but beaming.
She arose. ''Ill be careful" she said
as she bit her lip. II won't fall in
love. Don't worry, Mrs. Palmer, I'm
not so young as you might Think
She went to her room and closed her
door with bang. Then softly opened
it: An hour went by and then another.
Still another passed and Lydia was
growing impatient. Her hat and gloves
and coat were ready. She sat there,
nervous and shaking. At last she
heard Mrs. Palmer's shrill voice:
Lydia, Lydia"
Lydia closed the door softly and
then opened it noisily. EYES," she
called back.
I'm just going over to see the pic
lures for an hour. I'll be back in time
to fuss you up bit for tonight Don't
worry. I'll only be gone an hour"
':All right, thank you, Mrs. Palmer"
she called.
She waited five minutes, then ten
and at last put on her things. Quietly
she stole down the stairs. She opened
the door, looked up and down the
street and then hurriedly walked along.
Il guess" she said slowly to herself,
It'll 60 downtown" And she went up
the stairs to the elevated.
II suppose I'll have to eat" she
thought grimly.
Usually Rast's table d'hote was
crowded. There people were always

Greatest Day Of Thanksgiving That
Our Beloved Nation Has Ever Known

ming to he offered. Treasure and life
will have to be poured out in unstint-
ed measure if this war is to be won
as it will be. The American people
should be deeply thankful that they
are called to this great service, which
Is nothing more than the return that
they owe to humanity for the wonder
full blessings that have been showered
upon them.
THAT may know the fellowship
Of His sufferings''-such was the
prayer Of the apostle. Through their
participation in the sorrow and suffer
ing Of their brethren the American
people may develop a purer, stronger,
more exalted and spiritual life than
any they have hitherto known. The
very somberness with which the day
is enshrouded ought therefore to serve
to glorify it. This year, of all years,
we are thankful not for what we have
but for what we are able to do, and
for the opportunity and will to do it.

Miss Johnson boarded with friends
her mother had met during her one
city trip-a weeks excursion which

She reached home and opened the
door with her latchkey. From every
indication every one was out. She
called for Mrs. Palmer but no reply
came.
Miss johnson ate her meager repast
and then went to the kitchen for a
drink of water. Her meal had been dry
and somehow it choked her a little.
Everything was SO hard to swallow. Or
was it that the lump in her throat got
in the way?
At last ten o'clock came and Mrs.
Palmer walked in. "Oh," said Miss
Johnson, II came home early tonight

She used to start the week before,
Preparing for the day,
Peeling apples, cracking nuts
You know the cozy way.
Getting cook books from the shelves,
Her glasses on to see
Receipts for cooking wondrous things,
For her four boys and me.
Thanksgiving morning, when the smells
Of turkey and mince pie,
Began to steam about the house
She breathed happy sigh.
Her four boys now have gone to war,
A proud sigh stirs her breast,
Her service flag sports four bright stars,
The mother bears the test.

Mr.. Brown was manager of the
Jones & Gushing Wholesale Glass and
CrOckery company. He was large
gentleman with watery blue eyes, fat
lips and pudgy hands.
II suppose you'll be missing the old
folks, eh?" continued the gentleman.
Il guess will miss them," said Miss
Johnson, with letters and notebook in
hand. 1T will be the first Thanksgiv-
Ing I've been away. You see took
my course at business college last win

ITO be sure" said Mr.. Brown. Its
only two months since you came here,
but you've won your way into our
hearts," he added with a leer.
"And I know how you feel" he went
on. "Just longing for the old folks
and the kids. How'd you like some
real turkey, Ell? Well, We'll have it.
You're only child to me. I'm old
enough to be your father"
And with a look such as no father
has ever given before or since, Mr..
Brown moved his chair a little nearer.
''How about a Thanksgiving dinner
with me tomorrow night? My wife has
gone to see her old mother, who is
down sick. So let's keep each other
company, eh? And have real turkey.
What do you say?
"Weu go to one Of the swell places
where there'l be cranberry sauce, too
And We'll hear music when we eat,
that is If we get those noiseless soup

slowly.
"Good! I'll call for you at six sharp
and you have q good sleep and write
home to the folks that you're going
out with nice safe old fatherly man
from the Office" Mr.. Brown really
f1attered himself that he was neither
old nor safe.
Miss Johnson had closed the door
and gone to put her book and letters
back in her desk. Mr.. Courtney, one
Of the statesmen and Mr.. Browns right
hand man, had noticed a slight flush
on her face as she had passed him. He
wondered If it could be possible that
