SHE EATS SOME THANKSGIVING DINNERS I. Thanksgiving Day comes round each year (a fact I need not state) And happy is the lucky one who has a heaped up plate. Some persons buy their own repasts or else they go without And many eat with thankless hearts, I haven't any doubt. ' The more you have the more you get (fact number five to state) And Fluffy wiih her well filled purse had invitations eight. She'd also planned to feed some children, more or less half starved, " And hoped to view their thankful eyes as she the turkey carved. -"Dear Aunt, if I were only eight I'd know just what to do." "Dear Niece, you're twentyone at least, so act as pleases you.' The girl o'erlooked the fearful jest and said, "I must refuse "At least a half a dozen, and I don't know which to choose." "Why not accept them all, my dear, and stay a course at each? "The Morrises lead off with soup, a course with Mrs. Leech,i An eniree with the Gandergilts, the turkey with the Brownes "The Courcy-Lisles, the Parrakeyts wind up at Bishop Drowne's." 'The very thingl" said Fluffy, "and at noonTH give a feast To all my little kiddies on the side they call the east.' "The side they call the eastl What's that?" At which dear Fluffy cried, Delightful, dense old deanel Shall I plainly say. 'East side ?' Thanksgiving Day dawned bright and clear, and in a taxicab Dear Fluffy and her aunt went forth to see a game of grab. Such manners at the table I am sure one seldom sees. The boys and girls were hungry and felt perfectly at ease. 4. They ate like little beastikins, but Fluffy didn't care. She wished to make them happy that's the reason she was there. , And when they'd eaten all they could, each girl and every lad Stood up on table or on chair and cheered for her like mad. "I'm sure I'm very glad you came; we'll meet again quite soon. "We'll have a dinner in this place some pleasant Sunday noon." Then, feeling tired, Fluffy spent an hour lying down, And when the afternoon had waned she sought her evening gown. " . 1 .j. ? r 7 -its' y J A7J V W,MVrcv hs-" IV v 5. The Morrises "led off with soup," with Fluffy in her place " Alongside Viscount Verisopht. She led a merry pace With brilliant talk that made him blink. But soon she had to leave To take a course with Mrs. Leech, which made the Viscount grieve. She pulled a turkey wishbone with Sir Reginald Delane. She "entreed" with the Courcy'Lisles and addled one poor brain. The Parrakeyts she chattered with (and dazzled Colonel Gay), And next to good old Bishop Drowne wound up Thanksgiving Day.
