wv HERE is the party? At Mrs.
w Smiths on Walnut street and
it looks awfully much as though
the principals were caught by the
candid camera. Luckily, how
ever, they're perfectly groomed
for their parts:
Introducing Janet.
Janet in her jumper (Pattern
1886 is asking Mother which
glassware to use. Her plaid blouse
in taffeta makes her feel very
dressed up. Mother chose this
style because the many possibili-
ties for change make it a ward
robe rather than a dress and she
knew it would be easy-to-make.
Your own little girl may have
this same ensemble in sizes 6, 8,
10, IL, and IA years. Size 8 re-
quires Ia yards of SO inch ma
terial for the jumper and ia
yards for the blouse.
Mother, the Hostess.
Mother is the perfect hostess,
calm and assured, because she
knows her all-occasion frock with
it's sprightly crisp apron pattern
1920 is becoming and appropri-
ate. For house wear she made
up this model in print. She is
wearing here the crepe version
and knows that it will be delight
full for later on in cool black and
white. It comes in sizes "a, So,
38, 40, AZ, A, and 46. The dress
and apron in size SO require 5k
yards of 80 inch material. The
apron alone requires l 70 yards.
And the Guest.
The guest just arriving is wear
ing her trigest Sew-Your-Own.
She likes it because the pulled
shoulders and swing skirt make
her hips look smaller. The collar
is young and the sleeves stylish.
This frock is especially chic in
silk crepe alpaca or one of the
lovely new prints. For your own
daytime distinction, then, why not
make up Pattern 1905? 1t is avail
able in sizes IA, Is, Is, and 20

"Mother of Thanksgiving"

OF COURSE, we all know we
~ owe the observance OF Thanks
giving to the Pilgrim forefathers.
But if it hadn't been for the persist
ence of woman editor the chances
are that it would still be only New
England festival instead Of ma
tionwide holiday celebrated in all
states on the last Thursday in Mo-
vember. Sara Josepha Hale was
her name and she was the editor,
OF Godey's Lady's Book, the most
popular woman's magazine of the
Nineteenth century.
She was born in New Hampshire
in 1888, and, like all New England
ers, the celebration of Thanks
giving, even though its observance
was not regular event, was very
dear to her. AS early as 1927 she
began advocating that ''Thanksgiv-
ing, like the Fourth of July, should
be considered a national festival
and observed by all our people"
But it was not until 1846 that she
began her campaign through the
columns of Godey's Lady's Book, of
which she became editor in 1928.
Early each spring she began writ
ing letters to governors of al. states
and territories asking their assist
ance in making the last Thursday
in November, which had been Wash
ington's choice for the frs; Thanks
giving Day, set aside by Presiden-
tial proclamation. BY 1849 most of
these commonwealths were keeping
individual festivals but no attempt
was made to have the date uni
form. So Mrs. Hale started on the
Presidents.
She wrote to Fillmore, Pierce and
buchanan again and again. But all
of them ignored her, for they felt
that such feminine meddling in
public affairs" should be frowned
upon. However, in 1868, as the re-
suit of letter which she wrote to
President Lincoln, he issued the
first national Thanksgiving day
proclamation since Washington's
day. Mrs. Hale had won her battle
after II years effort. With the
precedent thus established other
Presidents, as well as governors of
states, have never deviated from
the custom which Lincoln thus es-
tablished.
Being thus the mother of
THANKSGIVING was not, however,
Mrs. Hale's only claim to distinc-
ton. She was the author of that IA.
nous poem, "Mary Had Little
Lamb; she was the first to advo-
cate women teachers in public
schools; she started the first day
nursery; she founded the first So
ciety for the advancement of wom-
ems wages, and Ter demands that
housekeeping be given the dignity
of profession put the term "do-
mestic science" in our language.

Uncle MiGs e.
Says: -
lII-Temper Is Extravaganza

Ill-temper costs business more
money and friends than any other
trait of character.
Don't map out a big program
of doing good; just do good each
minute as you go along. 1t counts
up amazingly.
Solitude may induce lonesome
ness, but it was La Bruyere who
said, "All our misfOrtunes come
from our inability to be alone"
Who finds friend has found
gem; who is a friend is diadem.
You are doing pretty well if you
are just. You are doing more
than pretty well.
SeIf-ReIiance and Self onceit
There is as much difference be-
ween self-reliance and self-con-
ceit as there is between the north
and south poles-all the difference
in the world!
A long day of hard physical la
Dor brings greater peace of mind
than any philosophy.
We travel to jar our thoughts
out of the rut which we can't get
out of.
How dull it is to pause, to make
an end, to rust, unburnish'd, not
to shine in use; as tho to breathe
were life.

Poor Los Renaissance.
THE government says the surviv-
ing Indians are actually in
creasing in number. l started to
add that this proves the Indians
are holding their own, but, since
we've left them very little of their
own to hold, stayed my hand.
The Navahoes always have been
the most independent and aloof of
all the tribesmen. For the most part,
they continue to live a nomadic ex-
istence, following their ancient be-
liefs and ceremonials, refusing to be
Gagged in towns, yet, numerically and
in material possessions, they out
grow any other tribe.
Can it be that the white mans
culture, which we so jealousy
strive to cram down the outlets of
red people and black and brown
and yellow, isn't always what the
victims need?
But, of course, to say that is prac-
tically to admit our civilization
might have a few tiny flaws in it,
whereas we know it to be the one
perfect creation of man, and for
proof point to its browning achieve
ment, the late World war.
The Spells System.
THIS isn't criticism, it's timid
= little prediction based on all
the political experience that the past
yields to us:
Pledges of curtailment in govern
mental expenditures, as eman-
ating from White House sources,
are undoubtedly sincere. But Andy
Jackson or whoever it was first
coined the line, expressed the
correct idea when he said that
to the victor belonged the spoils-
and not to let them spoil too long
either.
So it shouldn't surprise anybody
or deeply shock anybody, except
the few G. o. P. boys still scattered
through congress, if Pennsylvania
and Missouri and certain other
states should go right on getting
plenty out of the treasury for con-
tinued relief work on behalf of SEN
ator Guffey and Mr.. Pendergast and
such-like benefactors of the human
race. Not that the ms are any greed
Ter than the outs; they've merely
improved in sagacity since the days
when nearly all the smart wolves
seemed to be Republicans and near
ly all the half-witted sheep seemed
to be Democrats.
But Passamaquoddy might as
well make up its mind to being
sort of neglected from now on.

Frances Inconsistency.
FRANCE has just lent a vast sum

admitted, will use the money to
increase its war strength. If Poland
should repudiate the debt and de-
fault on the interest, a howl will
go up from LA Belle France"
that'll ring around the world.
But, of course, it will continue
to remain an evidence of soulless
greed for Uncle Sam even to init
mate that France might pay us a
little something on account against
the enormous amount she owes us
for borrowed money which she has
used to build up her army and also,
it would appear, to pass along to
Poland so that Poland may build up
hers.
If consistency be jewel, France

Elected: Plans Discussed
 For Races

The Nome Kennel Club met last night at the City Hall for election of a Board of Directors for the coming year. The follow ing were elected: Dr. H. G. Hu- ghes, Wilfred Boucher, Russell Maynard, Harry Phillips, Cappy McDougall, Frank Whaley and Bob Jackson. Messrs. Hughes & Whaley being absent, no officials will be appointed until the next meeting.
 For the major race of the sea- son a Nome Kennel Club Mara thon was proposed. This race would be run to Cape Nome and return a distance of 26.4 miles, and would be run in three heats the distance to be covered by each team once a day for three days. The team making the best total time for the 3 days being declared the winner. This pro- posed race would be run the last part of March or the first part of April, the date to be set later.
 Sending a team to Fairbanks to compete in the big Carnival event was also considered.
 The prizes for the Marathon were tentatively set as follows: lst prize $500; 2nd $2OO; 3rd $125; 4th $50. and 5th $25.0O.

Notice Wednesday night at the games that somebody had drawn a pencil line around home plate so you could tell where it was. Well, even that's good beginn- ing. Heard the suggestion they ought to have a thin rubber mat cemented to the floor for the plate. I don't believe this would be as satisfactory as painting the plate black each game, if neces- sary. There's a danger that some players rubber-soled shoe might stick to a rubber plate, result twisted ankle or broken leg.
