The ideal Thanksgiving must have a

ring of sleigh bells and the neigh of
the horses in frosty weather. No mat

fore, there should be snow in good

fence and road, the yard so brown and

a mantle of snowy swansdown. All

mysteriously, this first coming snow

The Thanksgiving dinner Of the
country's earlier days has been de-
scribed So. frequently that it is like
''thrice-told tale, signifying sound and
nonsense so wildly that one can al
most taste the dainties. Modern kit
chens could not cook those incompar-
able dishes. Such a feast could not
be served in courses, or brought on
in piecemeal. In those days the table
literally "groaned with it's burden" and
glowed with the beauty of the assem-
bled dishes. Merely to recite their
names would tempt the most pitiful
dyspeptic.
Roast pig, hot and brown, roast
spare ribs, pink and cold; roast tur-
key, juicy and tender, full to bursting
with perfect stuffing; potatoes, snow
white and mealy; boiled onions, like
shining pearls; stewed tomatoes, aof
deepest red; coldslaw, that pale green
dainty. Perhaps there would be a
pot-pie of chicken, or squirrel, or
quail, a dish of hominy, or turnips, or
corn. Celery in bouquets of bleached
plumes; beets,, cut in scarlet roses !;
spiced pickles, sweet and sour; cram
berries; glowing like heaped-up rubies,

In the days of real Thanksgiving,
there was no ice cream, no barbecue,
no creme de-menthe, no pousse-cafe, no
treacherous cocktail nor subtle pick
me-up. For dessert there were dough-
nuts and cheese, gingerbread and beat

and popcorn, and cider from the home

Royal Feasts and Feasters.
Such royal feasts needed royal feast

sauce, the simple, honest hunger of
simple, honest people. Nowadays we
hear of '.the keen, sharp pangs Of the

to get off to the theater or card party,
for o'clock was the dinner hour, and
the sleigh ride home through clear
winter sunlight was the best of all
digestants, if such a thing were need
ed.
In some neighborhoods the day would
end in a Thanksgiving dance, but this
was not a prevailing custom. Perhaps
the visitors would spend the night,
would gather round the fire and tell
stories, or listen to some newcomer
with tale of adventure or deeds Of
daring. And there was always music; ;
some one would play on violin or bass
viol, perchance little piano or quaint
melodeon. People sang ballads in
those days.
