WEDNESDAY.
Mrs Hooper had said very little about
Thanks giving because they always took
it as a matter of course that there would
be the extra dinner which included
turkey and Henry's sister Belle came
down from the city the night before and
stayed over the week end so at break
fast she said to Mr.. Hooper.
rs Belle coming down on the train
with you tonight or does she plan to get
here earlier? She didn't say when she
wrote me last week that she would be
glad to come down as usual, what time
she planned to reach here"
I'm telephone her as soon as l get to
the office and ask her" answered Henry,
but expect she will come down when
do, which will be less trouble for you
than to have her arriving in the middle
of the afternoon"
That's true" replied Mrs Hooper,
because l must 90 in town right after
luncheon and do my shopping for tomor-
rows dinner"
Are we going to have a turkey
motherf" asked Helen.
"Oh yes" her mother assured her, 1T
wouldn't seem like Thanksgiving to any
Of you unless you had turkey. and
Auntie Belle would be very distressed if
I had chicken or roast pork instead,
though that would be really the sensible
thing to do with a turkey costing as
much as 1t does"
We'll. we went without turkey during
the war" Roger reminded her "and for
those two years it didn't seem a bit like
Thanksgiving. so we really ought to buy
a turkey and then II all the trimmlns
are home made the dinner won't cost so
much"
Mrs. Hooper laughed at Rogers idea
Of cutting down the price OF the dinner,
but she assured him that what he sug-
gested was practically what she intended
to do.
Il think III raise couple of turkeys
in the back yard next year" said Roger.
don't you think it would be a good
idea mother?"
mo. I don't believe it would" she an
swered. Turkeys need n great deal
more room than you have in the back
yard, They need to roam around to be
might have n few chickens"
Not with the vegetable garden Mary"
interrupted Mr. Hooper warningly They
never Yet went together successfully"
We'll. I'm going TO take 1t up sari-
ously with you In the spring" Mrs
Hooper laughed. i've always wanted
half a dozen or so nice chickens. and
there would seem TO be plenty Of room
in the back yard for that"
NO. tell you right now" said Henry,
that It isn't practical and I don't be
lieya It is fair to the neig0bors to have
chickens In n community as closely set
tied as Mayheld is beginning to be"
ooh, well, give in" said Mrs Hooper,
only we could rent the lot next door.
whore the Browns house used to he II
the people who bought It are not going
10 build"
I'D love to take care Of the chickens"
said Helen.
Yes you would" scoffed Roger. III
bet you'd get pretty tired Of 1t and 1t
would be one more Job for me-"
well we don't have to decide that
question now" said Mrs. Hooper fore
staIling an argument. We've decided to
have a turkey for dinner tomorrow SO
I shall have to 70 down town early ana
get the best bargain In birds that l
can"
Mrs Hooper's marketing IN the after
noon resulted in obtaining a very good
turkey for which she paid 81. but
with the exception Of the cranberries and
some celery she bought nothing else for
the dinner. and even with Belle as an
extra member Of the family she planned
20 put together most of the meals for
the rest Of the week from tho contents Of
the ice-box, the preserve closet and the
pantry shelves Apples and grape fruit
and some oranges and lemons were the
oxtent Of her purchases for fruit and
With the usual amount Of dairy supplies
her marketing was concluded.
While she was preparing dinner She
baked several pumpkin pies and cooked
some pumpkin to be mashed and warmed
for vegetable for Saturday, and before
she went to he'd she prepared the turkey
and put It in the ice-box ready for
roasting in the morning. with Belle to
entertain him, Mr.. Hooper didn't miss
