tho shops arc full

of tho lordly gobbler to tho homely but

many of theso pretty favors and place

llttlo trouble.
There la perhaps nothing more effec
tive among these now Ideas than tho
pumpkin centerpiece, or" Jack Horner
pie. ns It Is sometimes called. This is
really a most deceptive nlTnlr, for It
looks lll:o a gcuulno pumpkin, but Is
really cunningly fashioned from deep
yellow tlssiio paper held In shape by n
wlro framo or u frntuo of rather rtllt
cardboard. Tho stem nnd leaves nro
nindo of dark green paper. Tho In
terior of tho pumpkin Is hollow and
can bo tilled with small favors for tho
guests, with ribbons loading from It to
each plate.
This table receives an added touch
oC gaycty from havlni: tho etlirua
wreathed with pumpkin vines adorned
both with blossoms and miniature
fruit. Tho vines themselves nro Inado
of wlro wound with a tiny twist of cot
ton batting and covered with green pa
per. The small pumpkins arc simply
balls of cotton on u wlro stem covered
with yellow crape paper, while the
blossoms nro of yellow tissue.
Just below the lace trimmed cloth
this sumo table Is draped with n roll
of turkey paper, which Is most olTce-j
live. This is u white crnpo paper on
which aro printed largo turkeys In nut-
tural colors. It is gathered along tho
upper edge very slightly and fastened
by pinning under tho edge of tho table
cloth. Tho place cards are, .small turkeys
with easel backs that can bo made i
from tho little turkeys cut rrom tho
paper napkins thnt nro got out for
Thanksgiving. These little gobblers
should llrst bo mounted on heavy cord-
board and then touched up with a llttlo
gold paint on tho feathers to give them
n hand painted effect.

Hours nnd hours Ituth sat nlono by
tho kitchen fire waiting for tho last
sound of life to dlo out In tho houso
that she might rake up tho embers and
lock the doors, for she wns n notnblo
housekeeper, this bravo young girl, nnd
took her liivnlld mother's plnco ns far
as possible In all things.
Hut while she was sitting nlono by
tho kitchen flro she heard a soft rap
at the window, nnd, looking up, sho
saw John's face In tho moonlight, car.
nust nnd smiling as ho beckoned to her.
In tho Instant tho thought Hashed
over her, proud and decorous Ynnkeo
glil that she was, that he had been
spending tho ovenlug with Miss Greg
ory, nnd It was worse than Impertinent
for him to call there on his Avny homo.
yiio would not answer tils summons.
She thought ho would go nwny, and so
ho dld-froiu tho window, but only to
come quietly in at tho door.
Sitting down on tho settee bcsldo
her, ho spread his hands over tho dy
ing ember to warm them nnd said,
with u slight shiver:
"It is chilly out tonight. Ituth, nnd
I havo been thinking of you."
She turned up her nose a llttlo nt
this; but, dreading to hear anything
more that she would think wns false,
she told lit m very quietly:
"I Bnw you go down tho lnno with
Miss Gregory early this evening. I
should think It most likely that you
had been thinking of her since then."
John turned nud looked at her, lots
Aunt j of fun brimming up In hi?! brown eyes.
lint when ho saw how tired nnd sail
sho looked ho answered her gently:
".VA, llttlo girl; I have been thinking
of you, as I sntd, nnd tho last thing 1
did before coming hero wns to drink
n cupful of ton nud cat u pleco of pie
of your making. While 1 drank tho
tea, 1 was tliliiklng-iio doubt It will
sound foolish to you but 1 wns think
ing how every otio of those llttlo grains
had been cuddled In tho palm of your
hand as you measured them out, and
tho plo was us sweet ns though you
had Htlrred the mince with your linger
before putting It between tho crusts,"
Ituth was laughing nnd blushing nt
his foolish words, nud lie, enjoying her
confusion, put uu one hand and drew
her bend down on his shoulder.
"I don't know whnc you mean," sho
said presently. "I lmwn't turned cook
i for 511ns Gregory."
".No," ho Interrupted-her; "I forgot
that you didn't know where I had
i been. Tom Gregory was thrown from
a colt tonight, ami they thought his
leg was broken. Ills sister caino across
lots for mo to go diwn theru nnd see
what 1 could do for him. Wo didn't
llko to stop nt your houso for help,
because you had no naich company, ho
wo went nnd got Mn'iun Jefferson nnd
took her over with us. Wo iiiiuie tho
boy us comfortable ns we could, nud
she said no hones, were broken. Ho
then I went home with her. nud thcro
was the lire your euro had brightened,
nnd the tea and the pie."
The ghl'H heart was beating very
fast as John said, ".My Thanksgiving
will bo complete, Ituth, If you will
promise to bo iny wife."
After they were married sho told him
that the pie hnd been made on pur
pose for him.
