Thanksgiving-Then and Now
Ot all the monthly talks that Dr.
Edward Everett Halo has given the
readers c f SVomsn’s Home Com­
panion, none have been more de­
lightful than t>>at in the November
issue on ‘ ‘Thanksgiving—-Then and
Now .”
With bis wonderful power
of reminiscencing, Dr. Hale talks,
rather than writes, to his readers
on the earliest New England
Thanksgiviugs in their Puritanic
setting, and then of our latter-day
celebrations, still strong ot the old-
time flavor, yet pregnant with pos­
sibilities in which twentieth-century
steam cats and motors play a large
part. No oue could have written
so delightful a Thanksgiving hotuily
but Dr. Hale.
