Decorations for Thanksgiving LE BARON WALKER. EVANGE L INE HANKSGIVING GARLANDS OF NETIAN MODE OF DISPLAY! GLAS It is hecoming increasingly vogue to decorate a house for Thanks giving, and of this I will speak today, =0 that ample time may be allowed for making use of such suggestions for the festivi next week. The article on Mon will tell of games and other entertainment for Than giving day, so I defer any mention of those until that time, and today speak entirely of putting the home itself in Thanksgiving attire. The Thanksgiving “motifs, for such they may be called in the decora- tive scheme, are chiefly fruits and vegetables, combined with Autumn leaves, just as the Christmas ones are holly, mistletoe, pine, poinsettias, etc. Varieties. The decorations of the walls and doorways as a background to the fes- tivities can be done with beautiful ef- fect, more rich in coloring than any one can imagine who has not seen the gracefully draped garlands of leaves Interspersed with oranges, lemons clusters of golden corn, etc., employved with artistry. On plain walls these are especially effective and by candle- light in the evening seem to trans- form the scene into a pageant of the woods and fields, a background against which guests and hostess are likely to appear at their best, and festivities flourish in a sort of lavish splendor, as if the outdoors and the indoors had Jjoined in a kind of gladness. Just as on May day people go out to rejoice with the out-of-doors in games and i the , LIAGE AND FRUIT, WITH A VE. 3 RED AND GREEN PEPPERS ON our homes in a feeling of mutual gratitude.

It should be remembered in decorat- ing the home, the church or club for the Thanksgiving season that there is a definite character to be sought; that if flowers should he used in con- junction with fruits and vegetable: they should be of a tone and cha ter to accord with them—something that will blend with the tawny shades of the other motifs. Candles, if used at the table or elsewhere, are beauti- ful, even before the candle-lighting time, if they are in the right tones of orange, vellow or green, and add much to the beauty of the occasion. Always it must be remembered that they should be well secured to their dances, so on Thanksgiving the out- of-doors seems to be returning the courtesy by being represented inside BEDTIME STORIES Home Once More. Of all the words that we hold dear. "Tis home that we most love 1o hear. —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit and Mrs, Peter had left Little Pete and Mrs. Pete in the bramble-tangle which they had chosen for their home up in the Old Pasture. It wouldn’t have been polite for Peter and Mrs. Peter to have stayed any longer. “Where are we going now?” asked Mrs. Peter as she hopped along at Pe- ter's heels, lipperty-lipperty-lip,. He was leading the way along one of the old cowpaths down toward the edge of the Old Pasture. “Home,” replied Peter briefly. For a few minutes Mrs. Peter said i, ° holders, and the holders well placed so that they may not be knocked over. This is a safety precaution. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “I think we had better wait, don't you, my dear?” asked little Mrs. Peter timidly. Peter was just about to say he guessed they would have to when who should come sniffing and snuf- fling along through the Green Mead- ows between them and the Old Briar- patch but Bowser the Hound. Pe- ter's eyes brightened. He looked all around up in the blue, blue sky. No- where was a member of the hawk family to be seen. There was nothing to fear from that quarter. He hopped right out onto the Green Meadows. “You follow me, ¥Fuzzy!" command- ed Peter, “and do just what I tell you to. Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote will only keep away as long as Bowser the Hound is around. You follow me until Bowser sees me. When he starts to chase me you run for the & SAID HE, WITH #FUZZY, MY DEAR,” “WHAT IS WRONG YOU?" nothing. Then she ventured, rather timidly, “Where is home?” Peter stopped so suddenly that little Mrs. Peter almost bumped into him. “Fuzzy, my dear,” said he, “what is wrong with you?” Little Mrs. Peter looked at him in a puzzled way. “Why, nothing is wrong with me, Pete “Then why do vou ask where home demanded Peter. “Why, because you have come up here to the Old Pasture to live and I don't know just where it is you are living,” replied little Mrs. Peter. “Don’t be silly!” snapped Peter. “You know well enough that home is in the dear Old Briar-patch, and that is where we are going as fast as our legs can take us. 1 hope we shall have no difficulty in getting across to the dear Old Briar-patch. Be sure you keep right at my heels, my dear.” So at last they came to the edge of the Old Pasture, where they could across the Green Meadows to Old_ Briar-patch. Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun had not vet gone to bed behind the purple hills. Peter wanted to get back to the dear Old Briar-patch. He didn't want to wait until the black shadows came.

Little Mrs. Peter followed, but at a distance, and she felt as if her heart were in her mouth. Bowser was back to them. Presently Peter darted right past Bowser, and Peter was running as only Peter can, lipperty-lipperty-lip, in long jumps. “Bow-wow!” roared Bowser, and away he went after Peter. Then little Mr the dear Old Briar-patch and, quite out of breath, plunged into one of the private little paths there. A moment later Peter joined her. Then together they grinned at Bowser as he whim-. pered and whined because the bram- crawl in where they were.

NANCY PAGE First Plans Are Laid for a Thanksgiving Dinner says. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. It was decided that the Page family and the Lee family would gather at Naney's home for Thanksgiving. Naturally Naney and her mother, Mrs. Lee, wanted to impress Peter and the other Pages. Many a conference was held, with Nancy and her mother 1s_the conferes. Nancy was all for having a modern, alaborate meal. She wanted to start {with ovster cocktail, have soup and a fish course, some fan meat, a recherche salad and a fussy dessert. But Mrs. Lee argued differently. “There is one time, Nancy, when folks feel cheated if they do not have the things which tradition has taught them belong to the da Family holi- days call for family All the children come b g to get some of mother’s turkey dressing or her mashed turnips or stiff cranberry jelly. Let's make the dinner a tra- ditional one.” The first thing which was thrown out of court was a fussy salad. In place of an elaborate fruit mixture with an intricate dressing they chose plain, old-fashioned cole slaw. And as the days progressed the menu emerged—a good old-fashioned one. (Copyright. 1927.)

Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, Think Big. Tex s he thinketh in his heart, so0 i8 he.”—Prov. xxiii. 'd tell that hoy, too, that it pays to think big,” Henry Ford sald re- cently, among other things, when asked what advice he would glve a young man as to how to succeed, Naturalists tell us that there is a certain kind of fish in Central Africa which vary in size according to the e of the lake in which they live, the same species being larger or smaller in proportion to the dimension of their habitat, Likewise men differ in size accord- ing to the size of the world of thought in which they live. Men are larger or smaller in proportion to the scale of their habitat of thought. If you know the size of a man’s you know his measure. Small thinking means small men. It takes big thinking to produce big men. “It pays to think big.” You will never be any bigger than the terms in_which you think. If you think only in terms of little things, you will be a little man. If you want to be a big man, you must think big. “As a man thinketh, 80 is he.” Solomon was speaking of man’s moral lite when he said that, But the prin- ciple applies in other directions. What a man thinks determines, not only the measure of his moral life, but the measure of his material achievements, Men who achieve big things are big thinkers. Mr. Ford himself is an illus- tration of the fact that it pays, as he says, to think big. It was big thinking that achieved his big suc. cess, Of course, big thinking merely in- duiged in as an idle dream never gets one anywhere. Big thinking pays only when followed by big acting.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Why Married Children Must Leave the Flome Nest. How Can an Unwilling Bridegroom Make His Fiancee Break Engagement? IDEAR DOROTHY DIX: Do you think it is the proper thing for married people to live with their parents. or g0 to housekeeping themselves? My married daughter has lived with me for four years and she makes much | more work for me. T would like for her to go to herself, but if I tell her so | she won't like it. However, T do not feel that 1 can stand the work any | longer, as I have three single hoys to take care of. What shall T do? A TIRED MOTHER. Answer: Even the hirds have enough sense to shove their young out of the mest when they are grown, and it does look as If human beings should have an equal amount of intelligence. Young couples have no right fo get married until they are able to set up their own independent homes. It is an imposition for them to come and settle down on their parents and graft their living off the old people. Only too many hovs and girls do this. of character and so little spirit of fair play that rather than wait until they are ready to meet the tesponsibilities of matrimony. they take unto themselves husbands and wives and bring them back home for mother and father to support. They have o little independence n only too many households instead of the parents heing relieved of the burden of their children’s support when they are grown, they are saddled with more mouths to feed, more backs to clothe. Father has to work harder at 50 than he did at 30, hecause he has his inlaws and his grandchildren to take care of, and mother, instead of heing able to take things easy as she had always looked forward to, becomes the unpaid nurse for her daughters’ babie: Of course, parents are vei silly to let their children make goats of them this way. They also do their children a great injustice hecause they encourage them in becoming parasites instead of forcing them to go to work and become self-respecting, self-supporting men and women, The yvoungsters will have to do a sacrifices, and have a lot of anxieties and cares if they set up their own homes that they will escape if they go and live on mother and father, but it is just precisely this experience that they need to develop them. It will toughen the muscles of their souls and do them good as long as they live. lot of hustling. and make many ‘There is something radically wrong about any young couple who don't want their own place. Especially is there something wrong about a woman who doesn’t long for her own home. It shows that she is lazy. She Isn’'t willing to do the work that it takes to make a home, and the sooner she is cured of this vice the better, Moreover, Satan still finds mischiet for idle hands to do, and he furnishes it a-plenty for the young wife who hoards, or lives with mother, and lets mother do it. It is the idle young wives who haunt the stores and the movies, who get 80 bored that they get into flirtations in their hunt for thrills, So, poor tired mother, for the good of your daughter's soul, and your own peace and comfort, make her and her hushand go to housekeeping, and serve notice on all your other children that they have to set up their own homes when they get married, and that they can't bring their husbands and wives to live with you.

IDEAR MISS DIX: What can a wife do with & handsome hushand that all the women fall for? T have one of these sheiks. Recently a girl that I supposed was my friend has been calling him up and begging him to take her riding. She even goes to his place of business. I told her to let him alone, and she got mad and told him he was a fool for telling his wife everything. So my husband is peeved with me. WORRIED WIFE. Answer: The woman who marries a handsome man who is particularly attractive to other women ‘tackles a hard job. She will have a lifelong fight to keep him. FEven the best of .men are flattered by the admiration and attentions of women, and, 8o far as we know, Joseph is the only man on record who ever ran away from temptation. The common, or garden variety of man, hastens to meet it. i You are wise to face the fact that women will always try to make a fool of your husband, but, having admitted that to yourself, also face the fact that jealousy wiil get you nowhe If you get green-eved over every woman who ogles him and make scenes, vou will merely drive him into their arms.

Ridicule him for being the vietim of elderly coquettes with dyved hair and painted faces. Make him see his lady loves through your eyes, and you will dispel his illusions about them.

Rchool is wasted on a child who 1s not physically fit from his head to his heels. Worse than the waste of time and money is the waste of child growth. Children grow in a rhythm The law of their being decrees that if the time for growth goes by without proper opportunity and provision, the growth will wither or be warped. It cannot be full and normal. A patched-up growth is never equal to the natural, healthy, timely growth that nature expects. A good pupil must have fine eyes. A great host of experiences is gathered through a child’s vision. If this vision is imperfect, if for any reason the child eannot see all he ought to see through his eyes at the time he needs to see it, his growth is threatened. He will be duil, nervous, often ill and always distressed. His eyes must be fit or all of him suffers, A school child must have keen ears. A great part of the teaching in the schools is done by word of mouth. The teacher talks and the child lis- tens. What if he does not hear? What it he hears incorrectly? Bad hearing is hound to injure the growth of a child physically and mentally. The strain of trying to hear is maddening. It, too, makes a child dull and nervous and often ill. Noses are highly important to a child’s growth. Through his nose he breathes and unless his breath can go through without check he is going te pay the penalty in lessened growth, in slower thinking, in poor speech and low =pirits. Add to an obstructed nose an obstructed throat and you have a child so handicapped that for all the good teaching may do hjm he might better be in the open air trying to get :nough oxygen into his system to clear his brain. Every Autumn I watch for the wayside flower that will hold the season’s endurance record—the long- est bloomirg little weed of them all. Recently [ saw some violets in bloom, and second bloomings are common among violets. But it is not of this 1 speak, but rather of continuous bloom. One has to remember back to last Spring, and not losing sight of these little fellows through all the glory of Summer flowers, trace their records down to the last autumnal days. So far the competitors for the hon- ors are the healall, a mint which botanists have called Prunella vulgaris (vulgaris means common, not vulgar, by the way), and mouse-eared chick- weed, and gill-over-the-ground. I be- lieve the honors go to the last of these, which burst into bloom last April, in the city lawns, in the cracks between brick ks, on old masonry, and around country doorsteps—a dainty little creeping mint with soft, rounded leaves and crimson bugle. shaped flowers. It has never ceased to bloom all through that period, though few noticed it when other plants were in their prime. Chick- weed bloomed last Spring a week sarlier than gill-over-the-ground, but now its last blossom has faded. Pretty Prunella is still in gay dress, and will survive many frosts, but she did not begin to bloom until June. I cannot say why it is that these weeds are such persistent bloomers, got along on a very modest amount of work. But as wants increase the nec sity for work increases until work be- comes a habit. Then even though you remove the necessity the man keeps on working from the force of habit. Except in rare cases we are poorly reconciled to work. Most people re- gard it as a necessary evil, as a means to the end of getting what they want. Hence the tendency is to regard work as drudgery. ‘We are not satisfled with the bare ne- cessities of life, We crave the lux- uries. We want the luxury of educa- tion and culture, of social approval and leadership. And for all these things we must toll and sweat, and fret and worry. ‘Work is a blessing in disguise. It we did not have to work we would not work and it we did not work we would lose one of the keenest enjoy- ments of life. ‘Work to be truly beneficial should exercise the creative impulse. A man should select the type of work that will give him a chance to express his personality, to put himself whole- heartedly into the task, to be able to take pride in the work of his own hands and brains. The chief trouble with our modern industrial system is that it I#u a machine of a man, measure the feet of his customers and make the shoes by hand, performing the whole operation by himself. It was his creation. He took pride in his workmanship. The modern shoe- Imaker works at a machine, perform- ing one of nearly a hundred opera- | ons “necessary to turn out the. fin- ished product which he never sees. He has no chance to express his skill or creative ability. No wonder his work degenerates into drudgery and becomes wholly a means to the end of securing money rather than as the end of self-expression, which is true living. He must find this expression of life in some other way, in the spending of his money perhaps. Hence he_wants more money. ‘We work because we are driven by necessity, by our increasing demands for various types of luxury and be- cause work is an outlet for the crea- tive impulse.

Fill with marinated CW ocel- ery or green peas. Serve on when some plants covered with hun- dreds of buds have a short season.

Doing no particular harm, nobody attacks them; doing no particular good, and having only little flowers, they are not loved so dearly that people tear, pull, and exterminate them as they do azalea and dogwood. rnally, they take up their stations and live on.

LOIS LEEDS. ) iCor OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Pasi How far do vou think a child can travel on the road of learning if his feet are in bad shape? Not far from the wooden bench in which he sits in the classroom. Aching, uncomfortable feet consume a child’s nervous energy and reduce him to a drowsy, brooding, sitting child who is losing his growth for a couple of flat feet. An underweight, undernourished child will not grow. No amount of coaching and drilling and scolding and rewarding can make up for good food thoroughly assimilated.
