Thanksgiving bring * cncli year a host of attendant pleasures In Its train , which com- blno to nmke the last week of the autumn months ono of tln > busiest of the season In the realm of society. This year IE no ex ception to the general rule , and Ihe week Just past holds the record thus far for gaycty. The pac.n him been a swift one , a Jaded young men nml maidens not a few can attest this morning ; and U has tried the capacity of many who entered the com petition without sullk-lent preliminary train- Ing. The brilliant .Monday > ilBht club ball , held this time , In defiance of the club nnine , on Wednesday , the altogether delightful re- copilon and darclng party by means of which Miss Florence Morse was launched with due ceremony Into the social swim , the largo hop of the "Monteziimas , " the many smaller but equally enjoyable balls , receptions , card jiartles , dinners , teas and cbafing-dlah ex periments , filled from end to end a week which , though it may be equalled , Is not likely to be surpassed 111 activity during thu winter. Dinners might be expected to a feature 'of society columns during Thanksgiving week , by people who are past the puritanical stage of observance of tbo November festi val and have not yet wholly given them selves over to the foot ball cult. Hut as a matter of fnct , folks when thc-y dine at allen on Thanksgiving day dine very much as they do on thu other .101 days of the year. n Illlli ! more elaborately , perhaps , and with the addition to ordinary bills of fare of cer tain dishes of good old New Kngland. pe culiar to thn time. Hut dinners which em brace the ini-mbers of more than one house hold arc so common on Thankxglvlng day that the list would be great out of all rea son. In the older civilization of the eastern states It Is possible li > fill a lung table with three giiu-rntlons of ono family , the patri archs at the ends and the ninny children nnd more grandchildren stretching between on both sides of n board which fairly groans with New Kngland plenty. After n while the table Is lighter and It Is the grandchil dren who groan. How some of us remem ber It , and long for the old days In this far western land , where the grandfathers nro few ! There used to be plo for break fast-four kinds on Thanksgiving day and and on no other day In the year ! People went reverently to church then , and paid to Di vine Providence the solemn tribute which the founders of the day enjoined ; and after ward with glad hearts and happy faces ad dressed themselves to the feast which that Providence bad bestowed. Now , as llko as not , they wholly avoid the sanctuary , and go without their dinners In order to see a couple of dozen husky young gentlemen. armed cap-a-ple , struggle and tumble about on n gridiron field In fierce and often deadly spheroid tbo Intrinsic competition for a pig-skin trinsic worth of which is not over $4. And then they go homo , halt frozen , and. with pneuminla Imminent , either sit flown to an evening Thanksgiving dinner ( which Is an abomination ) or else mix up a Welsh rabbit In n chnllng-dlsh , which they nro pretty apt to allow to got stringy and gulta-perehy for want of sufficient stirring.
