Constance Brent carried the news

going straight to her boudoir, spread
the Journal out on the table. For the
twentieth time she read through the
paragraph which, though it was tucked
away beneath long account of Il great
international conference, was, to her,
the only item Of news In the paper.

That was the headline and she whis-
pered it to herself as her eyes followed
the words. She read the rest In si-

"After sixteen years Of wandering,
broken only by three short stays In
England, and eliminating In a highly
successful mission of four years dura-

She was remembering that in this
very month Of his return, sixteen years
ago, Lord Connington divorced his wife
after four years Of welded life. He
had married the daughter of county
family notorious for the recklessness OF
its men and the ultra modern behavior
Of It's women, and though a daughter
had come to bless the union, Lady Con- :

1850 the new President Of the new
nation, George Washington, called on
the American people to assemble on
Nov. 26 and give thanks, among other
things,
"For the signal and manifold Mer-
cies, and the favorable Interposition
of His Providence in the course and
conclusion Of the late War :.
for the peaceful and rational manner
in which we have been enabled to es-
tabliSh Constitutions and Governments
for our safety and happiness; and par
ticuIarly the national one now lately
instituted"
Washington, 1t might be deduced
from this alone, was nationalist,
with no leaning whatever toward state
sovereignty, and with perfect readi-
ness to make his preferences mani
fest, in prayer as well as in any other
way. An amusing instance of this
franknCss occurs later in the same
proclamation, where he asks the peO-
pie to pray heaven. "To protect and
guide all Sovereigns and Nations les
peciaIly such as have shown kindness
to usl."
An honored lineage, that of this
beSt-belOved festival. 1t started in
the days when the NeOlithic dweller
by the lakes Of Switzerland finished
bringing in his scamty harvest and
settled down to a secure winter. 1t
Is close akin to the Dionysiac feasts
of ancient Greece and the "hOrkey
night Of rural England. But it has
a peculiarly American flavor and sub
stance; and for this, one must thank
the sturdy Pilgrims, whose iron cOur-
age was tempered by fine humanity,
and who probably smiled into their
boards when, over their supper Of snail
soup, they thanked God, who had
given them to suck of the abundance
of the seas, and the treasures hid In
the sands"

Festival. NOW
ALL AMERICA
Though Its Origin Was Pagan,
Thanksgiving Is Peculiarly
OF This Country.
Pilgrim Fathers Gave Religious Char
acter to Celebration Which for
Centuries Had Been Occasion Only
for Material Notification.

People who do not chlorofOrm their
sense of fun before starting to read
history have had many a chuckle over
the Pilgrim and Puritan festival Of
Thanksgiving. These early settlers Of
New England were so militantly Chris
tlan that they could not bear any sug-
gestiOn Of an earlier creed. They
objected to Christmas as "heathenish,"
because it c0ntained-as 1t still CON
talns-so many relies Of pre-Christian
days. Having done this, they turned
round, seized on the most thoroughly
pagan of all celebrations, that Of the
gathered harvest, and made it an insti-
tuition that has grown and spread for
three centuries, IS the Indictment
drawn by writer In an eastern maya
zine.
But the joke is not all on the Pill
crims. True, they went back to a fes-
tival which has been held ever since
man began to plant and gather crops;
but they made Of it something peculiar
ly modern, Christian, and, at the last,
American.
They gave religious character to
celebration which for ages had been
a purely material jolIifcation, and
made it part Of the community's pub
lie policy; an occasion for coming to-
gether in common aspirations, hopes
and gratitude. al the changes and
developments of the last 300 years
have not been able to change the es-
s"ntial character of the Pilgrim
Thanksgiving. How many inventions
Of today will last so long?
The first Thanksgiving feast, held
In the fail of 1921, was not ordained
by 'ormal proclamation. The colony
was too small TO need such notice
Tut the circumstances under which
the celebration was held are told in
Governor Bradford's history in way
vel worthy Of quotation:
They (the colonists) begane now to
Tat er in the small harvest they had,
and 10 ftte up their houses and dwell
ingR against winter, being all well re-
covered in health & strength, & hGd

Humility Goes With Thanks.

Thanksgiving is essentially a re-
liglous holiday. Like Christmas, it has
lost something Of its significance
through the overemphaslzing of its sec.
ular features. The other holidays
commemorate the birth or the deeds Of
great men or perpetuate the memory
of great events They speak to the
mind in its happiest moods. telling
over record of glorious actions and
repeating reasons for contentment and
love Of country. Thanksgiving day
ought at least to suggest the virtue
of humility.

down to the action stage today in

Miss Pugsley has sued the school

The board ruled last September
that students In the Knoble High

all kinds. but, Miss Pugsley says.
she was instructed by her mother
to use talcum on her face to protect
her complexion-and this was a

in her life-just a little talcum

Obviously the situation dema nded
a compromise. and so, when the first
fair visitors of the gala golden ami
versary year of Yellowstone passed
through the gateway Of the park as
forerunners of the thousands to fol-
low. they were duly checked in and
licensed-the green stickers that
said so were jauntily pasted squarely
between their shoulder blades.

Selma Miller, of Salt Lake City. and

through the entrance at West Yel-

Where the tourists of the summer
time make the park in a brief scenic
trip of a few hours from Salt Lake
City, these girls took four and a
half days. They travelled first by
private car. Then they rode with
the gigantic rotary plows in the spec
tacular battle through huge drifts
with the snow fighters who opened
the Union Pacific Yellowstone road
after it's winter disuse.
And for the last lap. with the long
battle through the accumulated
winter snow won, they clambered
down from the controller cab of the
rotary. donned skis and journeyed
into the park to break the first trail
of the year to see the wonderland in
white beauty that no traveller Of
the summer can even imagine.
