in any detail. After the feast the
diners demolish the centerpiece by
using it for a last-and by no means
leaSt-courSe.
The shops are full of little turkey
favors, as usual, with appropriate
place cards and so forth. Candies
come in proper colors and shapes to
suit the occasion, and much may be
done with these "boughten" aids to
create the real Thanksgiving atmos-
phere.
However, you may be Of a very
modern school and wish your table
to be as formal and uncluttered on
Thanksgiving as it is for any other
dinner party. (And, after having
lived through many years Of "bounti-
full" Thanksgiving dinners with tables
to match, I am almost inclined to
lend this attitude my support) In
this case flowers, fruit and vegetables
may still be used, only with restraint
and in moderation.

You might, for instance. depend
ing on the general decor of your
dining room and table, choose large
center plaque Of deep blue mirror
glass. On this shallow copper bowl,
filled with gardenias surrounding a
great and very perfect bunch of black
hothouse grapes. Or set bubble
globe in red leaves and float within
it one or two enormous bronze chrys-
anthemum heads. Or try an ar
rangement in a pure white bowl Of
small polished eggplants, yellow
squash and red peppers topped with
purple and yellow lady slipper.
The combination of the simple vege-
tables and the exotic bloom is de-
lightfully arresting.
If you intend having "all the fam
lily" for the great feast, which will
include the youngsters, perhaps they
will have their special table in one
end of the dining room. If so, they
must, of course, have their own fancy
centerpiece. For them I suggest the
one pictured, gay pumpkin chariot
drawn by three prancing turkeys.
Here is how it is done:
Carve the pumpkin in the shape
of chariot, with one side cut low
and the back high. Remove the seeds
and as much Of the pumpkin meat
as possible without impairing the
shell. Fill with oranges, pears, ap-
pies and grapes. Rest the fruit
filled chariot" on four oranges to
represent wheels. Using ribbons
(three yards are plenty) for reins,
harness three fat turkeys made from
oranges to the carriage.
They are made as follows:
Cut fan-shaped tail and side wings
of cardboard or stiff paper. This may
be black or brown or colored with
crayon. Fasten tail on one end of
orange with three common pins;
fasten wings with pins also
Run toothpick diagonally through
a date from one end so that it comes
out near center of date. The tooth
pick end Is stuck into orange to form
neck of turkey. From another date
cut wedge-shaped piece and fasten
to top of turkeys neck, slanting
to make beak.
Legs of toothpicks support the
"fat, juicy" turkey. "a third tooth
pick is added at rear to keep him
well balanced)

Nor can you blame the man. A man
marries to have a home, children, a
wife's society and to be the center Of
their little world. He wants to come
home at night to a wife who is fresh
and rested and willing to entertain
him, not to one who is so worn out with
her work outside of the home that
she is too peevish to be spoken to- He
doesn't want a wife who is away from
home half the time gadding around
the country singing or lecturing, or
who has to leave her own, sick baby
to go doctor somebody else's ailing
child. Nor does he want wife who
telephones at the last minute that
she won't be home for dinner because
she is taking a buyer from Oshkosh
out to party. Perhaps these things
shouldn't be, but they are. OF course,

INQUIRY ON TAXES
OPENED IN COUNTY
Montgomery Farm Bureau to
Study Four Angles of
Problem.

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 8.-An in
vestigation into four angles of the
tax problems of Montgomery County
has been launched by the County
Farm Bureau in connection with sim
liar studies being made in other Sec
tions Of Maryland.
One Of the principal points to be
studied is alleged inequalities of as
sessments on farm properties and be-
tween rural and urban land. Josiah
w. Jones. president of the bureau, de-
clared.
Other problems that are to be
studied include the possibilities of de-
creasing county governmental costs by
reorganization, efficiency and economy,
the possible need and effect Of reas-
sessment and the relationship Of such
to the future county tax rate and
bonded Indebtedness.
The bureau likewise will make q
comparative study of county expendi-
lures, including capital outlay. in the
rural districts with the tax assessment
and liability against farm property.
Jones said the study was requested
by the Department Of Agricultural
Economics at the University of Mary

by other Farm Bureau organizations
in various sections Of the State.
