BY d. c. PEATTIE.

To one who stands still in the grass
and listens. even in the vacant lots of
cities. there come an Autumn music
still-the chorusing of crickets from
their unseen choir stalls.
La Fontane, the great Frenchman,
has n fable in rhyme of the cricket
who sang all the Summer long, and
when cold weather came went to the
ant and asked permission to borrow
food for the Winter. To this the ant
replied that his tribe neither loaned
nor borrowed. and wished to know
why the cricket had nothing of his
own. To this the cricket answered
that he had been busy singing and
dancing. With pharisaical smugness
the ant then told him to go on dane
ing.

brief for thrift. Ask any one Whether

EVERYTHING on the Thanksgiving
IL table should be American. That
much is admitted. Turkey. cranber.
rles. sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie--all
American dishes. And If the food
should be American, so should the
dccorat tions.
Well enough at other feasts to have
French souffles and Italian antipasti,
English marmalade and Danish cheese.
But not on Thanksgiving. Well
enough, at other times, to have dainty
favors from Paris-or amusing ones
from Germany. quaint ones from
Spain or Italy. Today--or rather next
hursday-everything must be 100
per cent American.
Fortunately, there is so much of the
picturesque in the background for
Thanksgiving that it is not difficult to
plan appropriate decorations that are
at once really decorative and distinc'
lively American.
Pumpkins form the foundation for
many suitable and effective center
pieces. The simplest, perhaps, is the
basket followed out OF big pumpkin
with a handle of ribbon twisted over
a stout wire--filled with appropriate
fruits. You can make an amusing
little guessing game to fill up waits
between courses, If you wish. by sup
plying each diner with pencil and
paper and asking him to write down
his guess about what the pumpkin
contains-perhaps 101 grapes. IA
| red and green apples, 10 pears. Or
any other assortment of fruit. You
! can add oranges and bananas, if you
! wish and not try to keep to the strict
| ly New England fruits.
Crepe paper. of course, is the me
dunn of many interesting centerpieces
You can make beautiful orange crepe
paper pumpkins that are as com
! modiouS as real ones, and easier tC
| handle. perhaps These may contain
| little favors, in -Horner-Pie fash
| ion. one for each diner, with ribbons
| attached that lead to the plates.
| Crepe paper may also he effectively
used to decorate the dining room. One
very good idea | know of for next
| Tuesday calls for q strip of crepe pa
per with a Thanksgiving design OF
turkeys and pumpkins, corn sheaves
and Indians tackled all around the
dining room wall just under the cell
ing. 1t won't he such task to get
| it up. for thumb tacks hold the paper
| quite securely.
You can make place cards by cut

from crepe paper and pasting their
on white cards. But of course you car

The mantelpiece in the dining room
is to be banked with cobs of yellow

Seventeenth Century Walnut
Furniture Delights Collectors

1t is no longer enough just to collect
old furniture or antiques" as some
people like to say. To make ones col
lecting really important and to give It
an air of distinction, one must collect
furniture of some one definite period
or some particular genre.
There are still, of course, some folk
who group all old American furniture
together, some there are who feel that
they have made a real find" when
they acquire any old piece of mahog-
any whatever. They forget that there
was much use of maple. oak and wal
nut in old furniture, as we'll as of ma
hogany.
A keen interest is taken nowadays
by those who can afford such hobbies
lin the collection of walnut. And the
walnut these collectors are interested
in is not, of course, the black walnut
furniture of the last century. 1t is
the furniture made of walnut under
the late Stuart Kings of England.
Some of the finest pieces of old Amer
lean colonial furniture in this country
belong to this period. Still. unless the
collector strictly limits himself to
American pieces, he takes delights in
the walnut furniture collected in
England.

use patience and work to establish
the regular habit paths After six
weeks, if she has been conscientious,
he will eat, sleep and waken with al
most startling regularity.
The old-fashiOned mother nursed her
baby whenever he cried on the mis-
taken notion that he only cried from
hunger. When the new mother tries
to stick to regular schedule she
may be subjected to unkindly criti-
cism from relatives and friends. Even
the new father, robbed of his sleep,
may say bitter things about the moth
er's efforts to cling to regular feeding
periods. If the mother can only be
convinced that she is following the
right path, she can make herself deaf
to sarcasm and criticism.
The four-hour schedule of feeding.
beginning at in the morning and
then coming at 10. 2 and 6. and the
night feelings at 10 pm. and 2 am.
is the most popular one at present.
Small stomachs have been miraculous
ly freed from pains when there is this
long interval between meals. Only
babies over pounds in weight can
successfully use this schedule. weaker
babies being more happily situated
when fed on three-hOur intervals, at =,
9. II. and 6, and at 10 and at
night.
There are queer ideas about food
and milk. because it is fluid. seems
to the uninitiated no more difficult TO
digest than water. 1t takes three
hours in which to digest milk and
new feeding should never be poured
on top of a partly digested one. The
stomach is entitled to rest. so that
never should a baby be fed one minute
sooner than three hours. These rules
do not hold true to premature babies.
Discipline has a direct connection
with orderly and systematic habits of
eating and sleeping. When the child
is old enough to develop his own per-
sonality and offers objections to the
domination of his parents, if he has
become accustomed to unchanging
hours of eating and sleeping one of
the most frequent causes of friction
is eliminated. There are enough prob
lens arising every day without vast
ing time rocking the small reluctant
sleeper into unconsciousness or urg
ing him TO come TO meals.
Just at first it may be necessary
TO waken the baby at the regular
hours. otherwise he might snooze

Your Baby and Mine

thing about him is so fascinating that
she welcomes even the hours when he
cries. The feeble yelps are so Gun

one feeding time to the next i'm order
that she may look and listen TO him.
Unless she takes a firm hold of her
emotions and determines for her
baby's own good to deny herself the
JOY of cuddling him at any and all
hours. she is going to make a slave of
herself and a nervous and irritable bit
