RECOLLECTIONS OF OTHER DAYS Festal Scemen Under Former Exee: tives—The Roosevelt Method d the Taft Plans—A Merry Holiday. ( For ihe first time since the early in- cumbéncy of the Roosevelts there is going 10 be a real Thanksgiving gathering In the White house this season and; the family of the president will be brought together in the cosy little private dining room of the mansion for the real turkey feast of the year. During the later years of Mr. Roosevelt's administration, the president and his fam- ily made it a point to get away from the White house for the Thanksgiving dinner. In the last few years they sought the seclusion of Mrs, Roosevelt's country place, Pine Knob, near Charlottesville, Vi and there, far away from the hustling, busy world, the big turkey was dressed and caien In the years of President MocKinley terms of office, however, there was always & merry party, though not what one would call & family party, brought together in the White house for Thauksglving. One of the consplcuous guests was the late Mark Hanna. Then there would be old friends of the family from Canton, O.—those Who knew the president merely as “Major the ¢halrs were drawn up to the| spacious table for a genulne old-fashioned turkey dinner This year, it is predicted, President Me- Kinley's program will be followed out and in addition to the members of President ‘fafUs family there will probably be a few intimate friends asked in for the evening meal President Taft will return (o the White house long before “the last Thurs- day In Novembe and with the usual | prize turkey sent cach year for the presi- dential dinner there will be a fine crop of the choicest vegetables from the ad- mirers of the president among the farmers und fruit growers of the country Su to Come, president of the United States is one of the few fortunate individuals N the country who need not bother about where the Thanksgiving meal is going to come from. 1t is sure (0 come, in fact, It comes in such great quantities and in such great variety that it would take a man of more than Mr, Taft's ample bulld and consid- crably more than his capacity for enfoying good things to eat to get through the menu his riends would provide. There is & man up in New England who prides himself on ralsing turkeys. Some years ago he sent & monster bird to the White House for the president's dinner. The turkey had been fed up In great siyle. It had been the pride of the farm and the |and Mrs. ! I | coliection of china which has neighborhood throughout that part of the ol had watched the turkey grow into . state of perfection for the palate of the president of the United States, The and several others, just for good measure, have been send down from the New Eng- land farm for the Thangsgiving dinner at the White House. Other turkeys, to be sure, have been lald before the presidents at this season, but none has seemed to compare with the New England fowl and 50 each year the gift is repeated. As for vegetables, they come by the bar- mel and for this one day at least, the housekeeper to the president need not give a single thought to the market house. A Happy Time. Thanksgiving at the White House, much the same as at Christmas, Is & happy time, indeed. For a family in which there are young people, the great big tolonial house | offers the most entrancing opportunities for glving vent to the hollday spirit. Its great wide halls, immense guest chambers which would make at least four good sized bed rooms If they were partitioned off as such, the high colonial fire places, blazing with their sparkling logs and the big li- brary—the White House living room—are ideal. The smart company which will sit down to the Thanksgiving dinner this year with the president’'s family will have its dinner cooked right in the big White House Kkitchen by the three women cooks who have presided ov the culinary depart- ment since the administration changed hands. These white women are experi- enced chefs and their excellent dishes have been the marvel of the xu vited to the White House by Taft. In former smaller Kitehen 1ff the exccutive sion was used, but all that changed, and now the at with its massive range, it of pots and pans and Its gres cquipped with every conven deviee to make cook'ng thrown open (o the t result is & perfect serv Pt ye has been 5 vows and rows at wide tabl lence ax casy, has of cooks and the upstairs ming Hot. ¥r n downstairs the cour are sent up to the pantry on an automatic dumb waltcr and p.aced immediately in an electric Just outside the doors lead Ing ino the state dining room one way and the private dining room the other Wien' the first Thanksgiving dinner which Taft will eat as president of the United States comes on the table it will be straight from the shelves of this elec- tric oven.

Bossing the Job. There will be a large corps of servants to make this yvears Thanksgiving dinner a success. Since the change in administra- tions a woman housekeeper has been in- stalled in the White House, with full power to control in every department. A complete revision In the rules gove ing the industrial force has been made, also. Mrs. Taft, however, directs the en- tire routine of running her own home, even though § s the home of the presi- dent. 0 as & hostess and as a housekeeper and not a detall of the man- agement of the White House escapes her eye any more than it was permitted to do so when' the family lived here privately. The installation of the housekeeper was an innovation, but Mrs. Taft plans every meal served within the walls of the ex- ecutive mansion and the Thanksgiving dinner this year promises to be a wonder in its way. For good cheer, attractive environments and the ever fascinating atmosphere of the colonial times which the mere arrange- ment of the president's home suggests, one could not find a more complete com- fort than within the White House. The open grate fire places are not merely built for ornamentation, but the logs are lighted with the first snap of the frost and throughout the fall and winter they blaze away a welcome to every fortunate visitor invited within the private pre- cinets of the president’s home. |a merry holiday this year and the old White House will revert again to the time honored custom of having its Thanks- glving dinner at home. ational Monthly AT APPLE She Is nol | LIBERATI Famous Iallan Cornetist and His Band WIll Play at Hortic tural Exhibit at Bluffs. | Liverati this wee |10 the Bluffs. and his band come Lib: cities rope and ati has played in all the of the United States and is econsidered by many the greatest living cornetist, Besides a band |of forty pie he carries a troupe of grand opera singers, some of the best from italy.
