Lillian. on the contrary, is always
a delight. She cares for shopping
no more than l do, and she has re-
duced it to most efficient min
imum. She has reduced her posi-
bic hat shops to two, her places to
buy suits and gowns to the same
number, while her shoes always
come from the same establishment.
IF the buyers of those places
haven't been able to find the best
things it's no use for us to hen

Let Us Give Thanks

This Is Thanksgiving Day in our
America 10 be characterized by glad
gatherings. joyful reunions and ex=
pressions of gratitude for peace and
comfort. While this Is truly holi-
day distinctively American we may
trace it's origin back before the time
of Governor Bradford in 1921 through
the ages and nations to the land OF
the .Canaanites from whom the chill
drsH of Israel copied many of their
customs. In the book of Judges we
read Of the Canaanites
And they went out into the field,
and Rathsrsd their vineyards, and
trsSs the grapes and held festival, and
went late the house OF their god, and
did eat and drink"
Various ether references in the
Bible will also be remembered by the
student relative to the Thanksgiving
time or feast The celebration OF
1928 among the colonists in acknow-
ledEsmsnt of blessings, like the three
days feast OF 1921, may be looked
upon as merely a local observance be-
ing held by only the Plymouth Col
ony. 1t was however, the forerun-
ner OF local celebrations in Massa-
chusetts which have now spread
throughout our land entire.
With a spirit OF real gratitude let
this day be observed as the one day
sacred in the family calendar. Let
there be rejoicing not only for the
peace and the return of our heroes
but let us be thankful that we had
the wherewithal to sacrifice in time
OF need.
"Our husbandry hath prospered,
there is corn enough for food,
Though the pease be parched in bios
som and the grain Indifferent good
as in that earlier Thanksgiving, but
we can do no less than to pause to-
day in a silent reverie of grateful
thanks for the blessings being ac-
corded us at this holiday season.
