United States a Day of Thanksgiv-
ing =. that we then may unite in
rendering unto Him our humble
thanks for His kind care and protec-
ton of this country previous to it's
becoming nation for the ia
vorable interposition of His Provi-
dence in the course and conclusion
of the late war; for the great de-
gree of tranquility, union and plenty
which we have since enjoyed; for
the peaceable and rational manner
in which we have been enabled to
establish constitutions of govern
ment :. f. for the civil and religious
liberty with which we are blessed
. . and also that we may then
unite and beseech Him to pro-
mote virtue, knowledge and the in
crease of science among u.s."
Several more Thanksgiving day
proclamations were made in the fol-
lowing years; then under Jefferson
they were forgotten. But those sem
timents of Washington's original
proclamation became creed gen.
erations later to Sarah Josepha
Hale, editor of the highly influential
Godey's Lady's Book, the magazine
with the quaint and colorful fashion
prints which today decorate lamp
shades and hang in picture frames
in thousands of homes.
This cultured, energetic little
woman devoted a large share of her
time to her plan to make Thanks
giving day an annual national holt
day. She wrote literally thousands
of personal letters to governors urg-
ing that their states unite in observ-
ing Thanksgiving day. She fore
saw the coming of the Civil war,
and she looked upon a national
Thanksgiving day, uniformly cele-
brated by all of the states, as con-
ducive toward peace.
But it was not until after the war
had started that she succeeded in
obtaining a Presidential proclama-
ton from Abraham Lincoln.
A national proclamation has gone
forth in each of the IA years since
that time. If we are happy about
it, let us give thanks this Thanks
giving to the far-seeing editor of
Godey's Lady's Book.

With leg removed to a service
plate, as shown in Fig. 2, the tri-

a RGUMENT about the origin of
L 4 Thanksgiving day in the United
States has been going on, 10, these
many years. There are several an
swers, and which of them is cor
rect depends entirely upon the point
of view.
We think of Thanksgiving usually
as an institution begun by the Pill
grims. Without a doubt it was the
Pilgrims who were the first group of
American people to cease work to
observe day of thanksgiving.
1t was George Washington, as
President, who proclaimed the first
national Thanksgiving day.

AROUND
THE HOUSE

Freshening Coconut.-Shredded
coconut that becomes dry can be
freshened by soaking it in milk for
five minutes before using it in
cookies, cakes, frostings and pud-
dings.
To Roll Corn Flakes.-Lay a
clean towel on the table and put
the corn flakes in the center. Fold
each side of the towel over the
flakes, turn both ends over to the
center and crush with a rolling
pin.
To Raise the Pile on Velvet
Cover hot iron with a wet cloth,
and hold the velvet over it. Brush
it quickly while damp.
To Prevent Rugs From Slipping.
Jar rubbers securely fastened
by sewing on the under side will
prevent throw or scatter rugs
from slipping on smooth floors.
Storing Summer GarmentS.-All
garments in the summer ward
robe should be cleaned before
storing. Soil and stains allowed
to remain in such garments when
put away may cause permanent
discoloration.
Touches of Stitching. - The
vogue for embroidery gives the
home dressmaker a chance to de-
sign some pretty, interesting and
distinctively individual costumes.
On the shoulder or at waistline of
black crepe dinner dress, one
might put loose, informal-looking
spray of white wool flowers and
leaves. A black street dress, seen
recently, has two long pointed
breast pockets covered with red
wool flowers. The matching jacket
has red wool embroidery across
the back.
Renovating a Rug.-Self-colored
carpets or rugs that have faded
during the summer may be much
improved by the following treat
ment. Prepare sufficient dye, of
a slightly darker shade than the
carpet, and rub it well into the
pile with a soft cloth or an old
sponge. While the carpet is still
slightly damp brush it over evenly
with a clean, stiff brush to raise
the pile and give the surface a
smooth appearance. A second ap-
plication of the dye may be nee
essary if the carpet has faded
much.

inside quickly and f1attened himself

The Pickering flame of the brush

it was not in his hands, for his
arms were folded tight against his

Wheeler stepped forward to see
how this man had died. But even
before he turned the cow thief over

by shotgun, as had Cayuse Cayetano
and Bob Flagg.
The "a, ightless and silent under
the low-swinging moon, appeared

By following this procedure an
attractive service is assured and
the meat is kept as hot as possible.
If the carver is being assisted in
such manner it is best to carve
white meat as needed for each in
dividual service. Otherwise suffi-
cient slices for all guests may be
cut and placed on the platter along
the edge in readiness to serve or on
a separate plate.
