We did not notice that yesterday. ; But today—Thanksgiving day—we of The Star are thankfult ~“Thht she came to us, instead of elsewhere, to seek a way out of her difficulties. The light that shone today in those blue eyes which but yesterday seemed so faded and worn and weary, brings a recompense all its own. For Mrs. Mary Lyles is happier today than she has been for a long, long time. Yesterday she could only feel the weight of that formal docu- ment which told her to vacate her little shack for failure to pay rent. Today, this weight is lifted from her mind—-and her blue eyes reflect the smile on her lips and the gratitude of her heart to the kindhearted folk of Seattle who responded so promptly and made it possible for her to enjoy Thanksgiving day as few people Not only has the rent for this month been provided, but also! for next month, and a few dollars extra besides. | Mrs. Mary Lyles will eat turkey today, too. “=XPLOSION VICTIMS | ~ ON VASHON ISLAND WILL START AFRESH wil empty shack in a small In a barren little room an clearing in the woods two miles back of Burton, Vashon Isiand, Louis Lofgren, fying injured alongside his S-year-old little girl on a mat- tress, smiled as he ate his Thanksgiving dinner Thursday.
