WHEN FEAsTING WAS REAL
How Many Can Remember the "seo.
end Dinner" Of the Good Old
Holiday Times7

Allusion vas made in an interesting
article printed in Courant, describing
an old-time Thanksgiving feast, to the
second dinner Of the day served on
that feast at the home of every well-to-
do farmer. This allusion was especially
happy, inasmuch as in the past scant
justice has been done to that meal
which was by no means IN unimportant
feature Of the day, for 1t tested ones
capacity as 1t cannot be in these days
when the door of the larder is guard
ed by not less than 10 food directors
or administrators.
1t will be remembered that the first
meal was served not far from two
o'clock in the afternoon, when each
person was supposed to eat as on no
other occasion in the year, yet by five
o'clock In the afternoon, when the
lamps were lighted, the table was
again spread and the household with
its kinsfolk and relations and the
stranger within the gates, if such there
was, was expected to fall to with as
keen appetites as the members had
two or three hours earlier. That they
did not have such appetites was due
solely to the weakness of the flesh, for
the spirit was willing.
All the meats which figured at the
first meal were displayed for the sec
ond, and pies, the very twins Of those
that had gone before, were on the
table and, in addition, were various
loavesu of cake, actual loaf cake, a very
durable article of food and, worst of
all, each person was expected to eat
heartily lest the housewife should feel
that her work had not come up to its
usual standard Of excellence. 1t was
a frightful ordeal.
For the Episcopalians this ordeal
was repeated on Christmas day, while
most of the Congregationalists waited
until New Years day, not wishing to
lend color to anything approaching an
observance of Christmas, but with
these holidays out of the way the
feasting of the year was over. For
the young people of this year those
great days never existed and never
will exist, for the era of abundant and
cheap food is definitely past, but with
the older ones that memory Of the i'm
posing second dinner is bound to
linger. When it existed as a fact it
made thoughts Of Ugolino, gnawing the
skull Of his enemy, Of the starving
men in the prison pen at Andersonville
and Of the fate Of arctic explorers
positively enviable. But those days
are with the SHOWS Of yester-year; we
have 0 dainty dishes, fine service,
music Of a sort, and flowers If we can
pay for them, but very little actual
food.-Hartford Courant.

The Lotus Festival.

1t was a hot summer night, and all
the shop windows were bright with
lanterns shaped like the lotus buds in
the big moat. The moon rose high over
the c%urying Peking roofs and flooded
the streets. AS If the moon had
brought him, a child came timidly
forth from one Of the big, dark gate
ways. In his hands he held a brilliant
lotus hud and a lotus-bud lantern.
Then from every gateway, all up and
down the streets, the children came
forth. The air was filled with the mu-
sic Of their happy voices, and there
was the sound Of their little feet going
pitapat in the dust.
Soon the streets were childhood's
land, full of color, sound and happi-
ness. Still the children came, rich and
poor-children in silk garments Of
bright colors, children in rags, and lit
tie, naked, brown children, all carry
ing the lotus bud and the lotus-bud Ian
terms, which threw soft lights up into
their happy, childish faces. Ever the
crowd Of b%reathless joyous children
and lovely flowers increased.
For a brief, joyous hour, like fairy
elves, the children frolicked. Then the
candles burned low in the lanterns, and
one by one went out. As quickly as
they came, the children vanished. The
streets were again silent and gloomy.

Is Old" by Alice Tisdale.

In a confidential little talk to a group
Of medical students an eminent physi-

matter Of correct diagnosis of the

'.The best rewards" he said, "come,
Of course, to the established specialist.
For instance, I charge $25 for a call
at the residence, $40 for an office con

There was an appreciative and envi-
GUS silence, and then a voice from the
back Of the amphitheater, slightly
thickened, spoke:
"Doc," 1t asked, "how much do you
charge a fellow for passing you on the
streetT"
