"Why, he came into my house and

"But that was not deceiving you,

"Yes, it was! I hadn't the machine

Roumanian Funeral Custom,
In Roumania a curious old funeral
custom showed an amusing thought
fulness for the very natural human
vanity of the dead, two openings cor
responding to ears being cut in the
casket bo that the corpse might have
the pleasure of hearing the songs of
mourning sung on either side of him
as the coffin was borne to the grave.

A boy In a Chicago school refused to
sew, evidently considering It beneath
the dignity of a ten-year-old man.

principal, taking it for granted that a
soldier must; "and do you consider
yourself better than Oeorge Wash

the middle of the fourteenth century.

A Thanksgiving Tea.
A reception or tea on this festival
lay is distinguished chiefly by appro
bate decorations, costumes and re-
reshments. The rooms may be com-
)letely transformed by taking down
ill the portieres and other draperies
ind replacing them with others made
f cranberries strung on a stout, red
hread. Popcorn Btrung and alternat-
ng with the berries makes a pleasing
affect. Strings of cranberries are
rery pretty festooned over white win
low curtains.
Cover lamps and all gas and elec-
.rlo lights with shades made from red,
white and blue crepe tissue paper and
lor .stools and divans have large
pumpkins; they are very comfortable
ind are admirably adapted for the
purpose. The usual refreshments are
served with the addition of pumpkin
'chips" and the bonbons In the na-
iional colors. To make pumpkin chips,
which are quite a novelty, select a
leep colored pumpkin, peel and slice
rery thin; to each pound of chips add
pound of sugar And a gill of lemon
lulce, with the grated lemon rind;
Btir well and let them' stand over
oight; cook very slowly until tender;
then skim the chips out, let them
stand two days to get firm, then put
;hem In a Jar with just enough sirup
to keep them moist These are often
taken for an expensive imported pre
serve. NO one recognizes the plebeian
pumpkin. Spices may be added if
liked.
Hot spiced cider or a cider frappe
may be served and cranberry ice
sream is delicious in flavor and looks.
The sandwiches should be of minced
turkey and the flowers red and white
carnations with cornflowers or bach
elors' buttons, as they are blue.
It individual molds are desired for
the ice cream, they are cunning little
turkeys, and all sorts of vegetables.
Sheafs of wheat tied with the national
colors are very decorative over arch
and doorways.
A program of music consisting of
patriotic airs would be a diversion
suitable for the occasion.
It would be attractive to have bIx
girls dressed in colonial costumes to
assist in receiving and to "pour" In
the dining room, also to preside at;
the frappe bowl.
few candles in brass sticks some hav
ing the tall glass shades one finds in
New Orleans. After this a huge lov
ing cup is passed, and all join hands
standing up saying with bowed heads:
' God bless you and God bless me,
God bless us every one. , i:
A simple repast is served, 'with no
servants in evidence, as this is a time
when the children are permitted to
dress In costumes representing the
"Pilgrim fathers and mothers," and
they serve the feast. They first all
stand around the candle-lit table and
eat their five kernels of parched corn
in memory of the time when all our
forefathers had for which to be
thankful was the few grains of seed
corn, enough to allot only five grains
to each person. At the close of this
supper a child is chosen to repeat El
der Brewster's glorious admonition to
the Pilgrims when he bade them be
true to their promise. I quote it
here, for ft is worthy of being read
by every one on the coming festival
day:
"Blessed will it be for 03, blessed
for this land, for this vast continent
Nay, from generation to generation
will the blessings descend. Genera
tions to come will look back to this
hour and these scenes of agonizing
trial, to this day of small things, and
say: 'Here was our beginning as a
people. These were our forefathers.
Through their trials we inherit our
blessings. Their faith is our faith,
their hope our hope, their God our
God."
Seems to me this is ? splendid way
of impressing historical facts upon
the minds of our young people, and it
does us older ones lots of good to
turn our minds and hearts backwards,
remembering the times when this fair
land was not what it is today and to
say a prayer of thankfulness for those
who laid the foundation on such a
sound basis that we may with grate
ful hearts celebrate our Thanksgiving
day.
