Thanksgiving 1924

Every day should be Thanksgiving
Day-thankful that we are alive and
can work and play and that we 1--we
in Gods great out-of doors.
1t is right to be glad to be alive, Tor
life is Gods great secret which lie
shares in all it's forms of energy and
bliss with His children. The flush
of health, the quick insight of the mind,
the satisfying faith of the soul, are all
the varied effects and expressions OF
life. God would have us happy In the
enjoyment of all these gifts and to ex,
ercise all these powers. He is the God
of the omen air, the God of the beauty
of nature. as well as of praper and
praise.
Work and play, just as truly as the
reading of the Bible and the worship OF
the church, should bring gladness to
orr minds. Rock. trees, mountains,
wild flowers gay-colored birds, the hum
of insects and the sparkle ana music
of water were to the prophets OF OIL.
the voice of their God. AS they sd"
and heard they werN in living commun-
ion with Him. So let us be thankful
for this great life and let each OF us,
the farmer as he follows his plough the
busy hon.c-maker in her daily rounds
of duties the business man ana "o-
man. and even the boy and girl at
school. remember on this Thanksgiving
1924 to be thankful that work and play
can bring gladness.

The House Within

If windows are small, push the drap-
cries well to the sides and omit the val
anceS.
Long narrow draperies hung in
straight folds make low rooms appear
lofty.
When the windows are low, the top
of the valances may extend above the
casing.
When draperies are omitted, curtains
should be thin, but not too light in
tone.
Avoid using formal styles and fabrics
for hanging in rooms of informal char
acter.
In making furniture it is the kind of
workmanship and not the kind of wood
that counts. Labor generally costs
far more than the material used.
In judging furniture, examine the
turnings. Clipped edges on the lips
and rough wood in the coves are always
signs of cheap work, so are wavy sur
faces.
In planning n decorative scheme build
it around a definite local center, such
as piece of tapestry, o fireplace, an
important picture or a window group
ing.
Each piece of furniture should be
selected first-to meet a definite need ;
second, to harmonic with its sur
roundings.
The costliest furnishings lose much
of their beauty when viewed against
walls and floors of the wrong tones
and colorS.
An effect of spaciousness can be pro
duced in i small house by the use Of
Silimar wall treatment in adjoining
rooms.
If the house is to be made home,
its furnishings must reflect the pre-
sonal tastes and activities of its occu-
pants.

large, roomy and attractive cedar
chests.
Cedaro Lining is not kiln dried pro-
duct, therefore it never loses its pun
gent aromatic quality, no matter how

Cedaro which radiates everlastingly,

The jellied salad acts as a welcome
substitute for desseyts at times. Apples,
nuts and celery or chopped raw cab
bage can be nodded into lemon jelly
which is delicious served on crisp
lettuce with mayonnaise.

Roast lamb should be basted con-
stantly to give the best flavor to it. A
fork is the best implement to use when
making mayonnaise dressing. A beaten

mix the ingredients.
