The Thanksgiving Witch

"\HERE'S a witch in the kitchen
who's baking and brewing,
And mixing and moldng, and
sitting and stewing.
She is up to her elbows in raisins
and spices,
AS she chops and she peels and she
minces and slices
Around her the fragrance OF pumpkin pie
hovers.
Each minute a new kind of dainty dis
covers
As stirring and sleeping, and basting and
sieving,
My capable sweetheart prepares for
Thanksgiving.

Their giant branches tossed.
"\HIS famous poem comes to
mind with each recurring
Thanksgiving day, and carries
us back to 1921 when the land
was young and our pilgrim forbears
were laying the first foundation stones
OF our great American republic. To
them belongs the credit Of having cele-
brated the first Thanksgiving day in
New England. but not the first In
North America. Historians remind us
of the fact that In the year 1878 an
English minister named Wolfall con-
Quoted Thanksgiving service on the
shores of Newfoundland. The min
lister was with an expedition under
Frobisher which brought the first Eng
lish colony to settle on those shores.
1t was In this pious spirit or graft
) tude that the Pilgrims on the "stern
and rock-bound coast" of Plymouth
''praysed God" in sincere gratitude for
the way in which he had delivered
them from all the dangers OF the deep
that the Mayhower had gone through.
We Of the luxurious plenty of our day
would feel that we had little for
which to be grateful IL we had no
more than the Pilgrims had on their
first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known
and unknown encompassed them round
about, and their days were filed with
hard labor while their fare was Of the
plainest and the future was uncertain.
But they had stout hearts in which
hope ran high. OF the American
Thanksgiving one historian says:
"The annual celebration, as we have
1t In its present form, is essentially Of
American conception. The settlers of
jamestown. the Dutch of New York,
the Pilgrims Of Plymouth, and the Pu-
ritans of Boston were in every respect
devoutly religious people. They were
cornerstOnes in the great temple Of
republican government on this side of
the Atlantic. The first written consti-
tuition in all history was an American
document. in that it was written in the
cabin OF the Mayhower on Saturday
Nov. II, 1920, as that unique craft
swung at her anchor In Provincetown
h8rbOr, the first six words being In
the name Of God Amen This phrase
laid the foundation stones Of our
western civilization. These men
brought but little with them, but left
much to posterity. If this were the
only thing they left us, the American
Thanksgiving day, their names would
be immortalized. 1t gives JOY to the
humblest Of peoples. On the follow
ing autumn there was held a 'grande
thanksgiving The most condensed ac-
count Of this grande thanksgiving can
be found in a letter written by Ed
ward Winslow. sent to a friend in
ing gotten In, our governor sent out
four men on fOwling, so that we might
after special manner rejoice togeth-
er, after we had gathered the fruits Of
our labors. They killed as much fowl
as with a little help beside served the
company about one week. At which
times among other recreations we ex-
ercised our army, many of the Indians
coming amongst us, and among the
rest Of their greatest king, Massasoit,
with some 80 men, whom for three
days we entertained and feasted, and
they went out and killed five deer,
which they brought and bestowed on
our governor and upon the captain
and others"

The favorite way of celebrating
Thanksgiving in New England was, Of
course, first with prayer and a sermon,
In which the minister told his congre-
CATION the many things they had to be
thankful for. The church was generally
decorated with fruits and grains, and
when the custom became national this
was continued. The idea Of the Thanks
giving dinner in New England was to
have all of the fruits Of the harvest,
and turkey became the principal meat
course because this bird was so plenti-
full and was caught in the wild state
and prepared most appetiziDgly by the
housewives.
Then there was pumpkin pie, and as
cranberries grew in great quantities in
New England states the sauce Of that
berry was fitting addition to the
turkey course. Plum cake, or, as it has
come to be known, fruit cake, was a
favorite for the Christmas holidays In
England and was brought over with
other dainties by the first of the set
tiers, and the recipes for making treas
ured by the housewives.
Meat pies, or, as we call them, mince
pies, came later in the list of good
things for Thanksgiving.
With the very earliest settlers the
day was, indeed, day of prayer, and
little else besides, but later 1t became
a feast day, as well, and 1t was poor
family, indeed, in New England that
could not afford turkey for Thanks
giving dinner.
