which she usually shrank-had a
festive Thanksgiving air. A fat pig
with an apple in its mouth and a
paper frilled collar was in the win

of the horror of the hanging car

On the way home she stopped alb

She wanted roses, but found they
were too expensive, so she decided
to get two dozen pink carnations as
they made the best show for the
least money, and with her pink can
dleshades would be very attractive.
When she reached home she had
a consciousness of having spent a
great deal more money than she had
intended.
And she found in the next two
days that there were still other,
things TO buy. Already the dinner
was adding up to much over $50.
She found too, that though she had
tried to plan the work so there would
be no cleaning left for Wednesday,
yet there were still many other
things to be done of which she had
not thought.

this was the first time they had
ever had all of Warren's family to
dinner she was determined to have
everything right. So she could not
spare herself now.
"What in thunder have you been
doing" grumbled Warren when she
finally came to bed.

Married Life the Second Year

Helen prepared to have Warren's
family to Thanksgiving dinner. Helen
had never before had Warren's
whole family to dinner. They had
planned for it last New Years but
Warren's father was taken i'll, so the
dinner had been cancelled.
Christmas dinner was always
with his parents, and this year his
sister Carrie was to have the family
at New Years. So Thanksgiving fell
to Helen.
With all her heart she dreaded it.
For the first time her ability as a
housekeeper and hostess would be
thoroughly tested by his people.
And in so many ways she was at
disadvantage. Her dining room
was very small-then ten people
would crowd it uncomfortably. Also
resources of her china closet and
pantry.
But she must make it a success.
She thought of Carrie and her
larger apartment, larger dining room
and better equipped kitchen. Yet
Helen determined that Carrie should
have no better dinner.
For days she studied the Thanks :
giving menus III dII G06 4NONefuDSI
home and housekeeping magazines.
But they were all so elaborate-none
of them could she follow entirely.
Arranging the Menu.
This morning she cleared the din
ing room table, and now, with all
the magazines spread before her. she
began to write out on a large sheet
of paper a menu compiled from
them all.
There was so much to consider in
making up this menu-the number
of people, the cost, the fact that
there was no one to serve 1t but
Della. After much bordering over
the magazines, much nibbling of the
end of her pencil and much consulta-
ton with Della, Helen finally wrote
Grape fruit with maraschino
cherries.
Cream of tomato soup.

Roast turkey, chestnut stuffing.

paragus
Salad la viniagrette.
Bread sticks Three at each place
tied with orange and red ribbon.

Sweet cider, coffee.

The only dish with which Helen
was not thoroughly familiar was the
salad la vinaigrette. And she had
chosen that for the decorative quail

lowed the directions very carefully
this fancy salad could be made most
attractive
On another piece of paper, Helen
now began to figure up the cost.
Warren has said last night Now
there's no sense in splurging on this
dinner. You ought to be able to get
up pretty decent meal for ten peo-
pie for twenty dollars-that's two
dollars a plate. You can dine any
where for that"
Could She Do 1t.
Could she do it?
Twenty dollars-couId she get it
up for that? The turkey alone
would be-what? Here she began to
figure They had decided that two
small turkeys would be better than
one very large one, as the two
would give a greater selection of
pLrts. Everybody always wanted
the breast or the first point.
Two ter pound turkeys at soc a
pound would be $500. Then the
grapefruit, five at 25c apiece, would
be SIPS.
But she crossed out these figures
and began over again. She would

the order they come on the menu and
then add them up all together.
Grape fruit, at 225c, SIPS.
Tomatoes for soup, 40c.
Celery, soc.

Sailed almonds, SOC.
Turkeys, two 10pounders at soc,

Asparagus, s1:.50.

Plum pudding, $500.
Nuts, mixed, soc.

And now Helen counted this up.
She was not rapid or accurate at fig
ures so she had to go over it several
times before she was sure of the re-
sult-S19.40.

INVITATION FROM CIRCLE
NO. I, BAPTIST CHURCH.

The ladies Of Circle No. 1 of the
First Baptist church held a cottage
prayer meeting on Thursday morning
with the old folks at the Woman's
Home, 1910 n. Davis Street. The old
folks greatly enjoyed it and wish that
others Of the city would favor them
in like manner, as several of them
are too helpless to attend church.
The ladies of the above named cir
Gle have started a Good Will Center"
near the Woman's Home, so that when
the weather permits the old people
can attend the Sunday afternoon
meetings there. These meetings are
held for any in the community who, on
account of family cares are not able
to attend church in the mornings or
at night. Tired mothers can bring
their babies if they like, and spend an
hour listening to good reading, and
useful lessons.
Meetings are held every Sunday af
ternoon at p. m. at the Good Will
Center, 1403 n. Davis street, and any
one who wishes to spend an hour to
good advantage is welcome.

extras. 1t was merely the raw ma

not at all sure that she had allowed
enough. And she must buy a new

would be much more than twenty

and there was much to be done be-
