THE BEE: OJIATTA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1917. f Adelaide Kenne Ella Fl jLSjkjr a a w fx- ED1TOTR- rlyi ( By MELLIFICIANov. 29 Thanksgiving Dinners All Turkified. I can write of nothing today but turkey; it seems to permeate even the mysterious recesses of a newspaper office. The "family only" dinners are not so prevalent in Omaha this year as formerly, for so many of the homes have been opened to the soldiers. Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Allison, who usually entertain one of the largest family dinner parties, have postponed the af fair until Christmas this year. Mrs. K. W. Nash has also changed her usual custom and will not entertain at a large dinner party. The University club will belong to the enlisted men all day today, with a bounteous turkey dinner for the soldiers at noon. Sixteen of the Sammies will be en tertained at dinner at the Dundee school by some of the. good-hearted people of that suburb, while innumer able homes will have two or three of the boys in khaki as honor guests. There will be many family dinner parties at the Prettiest Mile club to day, Mr. and, Mrs. C. A. Wells en tertaining the largest party. They will serve their own turkey just as they would at home. With the appro priate .; Thanksgiving decorations which are to be used at the pretty club house, the parties will no doubt be merry ones, indeed. The huge chrysanthemums nod their yellow heads at us from the flor ist's windows just as they always do every year and there seems to be as much A good cheer and Thanksgiving gladness as ever before.

Female Enoch Arden Mourned for 20 years as dead and all efforts to locate her being aban doned more than IS years ago, Mrs. Chester Sampson, formerly Miss Julia Scanlon, Winsted, Conn., appeared at the home of her sister in Thompson ville recently, says the Hartford "Courant." Her brother, Patrick Scanlon, learned a few months ago that his sister was living and was in Detroit and communicated with her. As Julia Scanlon, a pretty girl of 18, Mrs. Sampson disappeared from her home in Winsted 20 years ago. All trace of her was lost, despite a thorough search. A few months ago her brother, Pat rick Scanlon, received a postal card that had been sent by his sister to Merideri, where Patrick formerly worked. A letter explained that the sister and her husband carelessly asked a waiter in Detroit if he knew any waiters in Connecticut and he named Patrick Scanlon. The woman asked for his address and sent a postal card that finally reached her brother in Hartford. A Nourishing Drink. A nourishing drink is barley water. Place one quart of water in a saucepan; wash well two ounces of pearl barley and throw into the water. Bring it to a boiling point, then add lemon and sugar to suit. Simmer gently two hours. Raisins are capable of being used in many ways. Pies can be made with them as filling, and they are extreme ly palatable stewed slowly, like prunes, no sugar added, but a little cinamon or ginger, and eaten as a sauce. Miss Marie Lohr, one of the most popular actresses on the English stage, has become London's first actress-manager. Soliloquy of Modern Eve Side by side stood Hayakawa and Holt East and West Never the twain shall meet? Oh yes they shall they will. : : : A Pioneer Woman Editor Originated Thanksgiving By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. IN "The Call of the East" Sessue Hayakawa played the part of a Japanese. He is one. In the same play Jack Holt played the American. He is one. Kipling said: "East is cast and west is west and never the twain shall meet' but they shall and they will. Side by side stood Hayawaka and Holt. The same little vein ran prominently around the large joint of the forefinger of each man. The same workings of body mechanism, of soul depth and revenge were God fixed in each man. s Hayakawa was born (probably) under a v bamboo-roofed Japanese home. Jack Holt may have been born under a spreading chestnut tree or near an old oaken bucket, and for this reason the "east is east and the west is west." Isn't it a flimsy rea'son? "The more we know the better we forgive; whoever feels deeply feels for all who live" and when the east and west do met it will not be on some western border, but at "God's great judgment seat" the heart The brotherhood of man in clasping tight the hands of those who feel deeply and proving that the more we know the better we forgive. "The standards of right are infinite and the scales of the gods weigh true." By its good and its evil is each life weighed, not by its land of birth. "By thought, motive and deed is each record made" and the STAND ARDS or RIGHT shall wipe out race prejudices, which are worms infest ing the minds of men. If, as a world, we succeed we must help mankind as a whole. The Re corder says: "All men are brothers of every soul and each soul is a brother to all." This great, bloody war may mean the sifting of souls and after the struggle, if we become a world-people, our sacrifice of life will mark a turning point a period in evolution. We will have gained more than we lost. To think I've lain awake at night Deciding things to drink and eat) And now neath shaded candle-light The abstract has become concrete. The food outstrips my fondest dreams, The service is beyond compare, Yet not a single diner seems To know what he consumes or care. And I, whose every brilliant bit Around the board is swiftly sped, In smirking social triumph sit With one desire to go to bedl Noted Writer Tells Why Artisfs Life Seems So Idyllic I have come to the conclusion that if another time on earth were alloted me and I could choose my destiny, I would be an artist; and when I say artist I mean, like the Englishman in Stevenson's story, not. a musician, but a fellow who paints pictures. I would choose thus because I like artists anil envy them their lives, says E. V. Lu cas in a New York exchange. I should not particularly insist upon being a great artist; it would be enough to come within the ordinary classification, and wear ceomfortable clothes and an old hat, and have a gentle, amiable nature and quick eyes and no exacting sense of time or lia bilities, and to be wholly concerned with beauty, or what I thought beau ty, and to work either out of doors or in a spacious room large enough to discourage petty thoughts and wor ries, and to make shapes in the air with my thumb as I talked of pic tures, and to be really fond of my fellow-artists and as ready to find good in their work as literary men examining brother authors are to find bad, and to earn such living as seemed necessary by a kind of per petual game with pencils and brushes and jolly colors, always by daylight, instead of driving an eternal pen at all hours, and to be free to listen to tnnsic when the sun went down, and -I leave this to the last to swap drawings and sketches with my painting friends. I left that to the last because it is very much in my mind, and to a con siderable extent it has determined me in my choice of employment during the next incarnation. This is not the sudden conversion that the superficial person may think it, but I will admit that a recent visit to an artist in a very lovely part of the country (artists having a natural bent toward beautiful parts of the country, and this being one of the most eminently gifted in that way shall I say that far from narrow way?) may have brought the affair to a head. For near him is the home of another artist, 'and both house are similar in being not only im mensely desirable in their distin guished free-and-easiness, but in having on the walls scores and scores of votive offerings from other pencils and brushes, so that to go upstairs is a most protracted business, since one must pause on each step to study the frames which its altitude brings within immediate range. Lightning Clouds Lightning clouds may touch the earth with one of their edges, or be four or five miles up. They rarely dis charge when more than 700 yards above the earth. Zig-zag lightning is caused by the flash seeking the line of least resistance. Tolstoy found it surprising that people over seven years of age could enjoy "Seigfried." Many persons find it surprising that people over seven years of age can enjoy anything. Electric Cleaner HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES J At Thanksgiving Time By JOHN D. WELLS. Why, Mother-O'-MIne, and don't you know The summer days of the Long Ago The soft south-wind and the sweet perfume Of the smiling- fields and the orchard bloom T When the oriole "swung high swung low'' In the maple trees. In the Long Ago? Why. you remember that little boy! He used to come with a broken toy Or little hurt, and you used to play At kissing the tears and the hurt away. And caught him up, In your mother joy. And sang to him of the gypsy boy. Tou must recall! Why, ha used to stand By your chair arm here In the old dream land, Or nestle close, and he'd promise true To never go from the side of you; Why, once you cried on his shoulder, and He never, never could understand? He went with you to th chest that day Tou put his top and Ms ball away. And wound his spool with a pretty string. And locked it safe like a treasured thing; He marveled much at the saddened way You held him close In your arms that day. The boy of old hai returned to you; The soft aouth-wlnd and the blossoms, too; The orioles and the flowered ways, Have gone the way of old, old days, But he's kept his love and promise true, And all these years he has walked with you. Glass Fruit Knife Now The ordinary steel or plated knife, as every housewife knows, is attacked by the acids of many fruits, making a stain that is removed only with con siderable labor. A glass knife is now on the market which is quite impervious to the most active fruit acid, and jt takes a good edge, though, of course, in view of its brittleness, a somewhat thicker one than we are accustomed to. With a little of the care in washing which even now must be bestowed upon the china gravy ladle and simi lar objects, this knife should prove very acceptable for cutting grape fruit, lemons, oranges, etc. Scientific American. By JOSEPH JACKSON. Thanksgiving day has become as firmly established in the life of Amer icans as either Christmas day or the Fourth of July, and it was due to a resident of Philadelphia that the fes tival was made a general and national one. President Lincoln has the honor of having been the first president to make proclamation of the last Thurs day in November as a general day of thanksgiving. Like the pumpkin pie that adorns the festive board of the Thanksgiv ing dinner, the idea of the day itself comes to us from New England, where such days were observed more than two and a half centuries ago. It was, in fact, a New England wo man, who afterward spent her life in Philadelphia, who devoted more than a quarter of a century to her propa ganda before she was able to realize her wish that a Thanksgiving day be generally observed each year all over the United States. Pioneer Woman Editor. This lady was Mrs, Sarah Josepha Hale, one of the first woman editors attached to the press in this country. Mrs. Hale lived to a great age, and until the last was editor of Godey's Lady's Book, at one time the most popular periodical for women pub lished in this country. Mrs. Hale, who was born in New port October 24, 1788 was married to David Hale, a New England lawyer, in 1812. Nine years after her mar riage she was left a widow with five children, and then resorted to author ship tor support. She was the author of many children's verses, and wrote for a juvenile magazine published in Boston in the early twenties. She is said to have been the author of that familiar poem, "Mary'j Little Lamb" the little lamb that followed Mary wherever she went. When the Ladies' Magazine was es tablished in Boston in 1828, Mrs. Hale was appointed its editor, and she con ducted that journal with great success until nine years later, when it was absorbed by Louis A. Godey, who brought it to Philadelphia, where he continued it as Godey's Lady's Book, and, incidentally, made a mint of money on it; but with the acknowl edged help of Mrs. Hale. Before Mrs. Hale came to Philadel phia, which she did not do until 1841, in the meantime editing Godey's from Boston, she was instrumental in gath ering funds to finish the Bunker Hill monument, which had been begun and left a fragment for years. This great work had scarcely been accomplished until she was deep in her proposal for a national thanksgiving, which she insisted should occur on "the last Thursday in November" of each year. That accounts for the regularity of the day falling on that part of the month. Mrs. Hale began her agitation before she left Boston, and the early years of Godey's frequently alluded to the absence in our national life of a general Thanksgiving day once "a year. They usually had one in New England, but in other parts of the country sometimes they had a Thanksgiving day and oftentimes no date was set aside for the purpose of giving thanks. After continuing an active propa ganda for some years in this manner. Mrs. Hale began to excite the interest j of the governors of the various states, and also wrote to the president fre quently, urging the adoption of her idea. She had rather good fortune with the governors of the states, and even the commissioners of the Dis trict of Columbia followed in line, but 20 years of effort had failed to bring about her original intention and her greatest desire a national festi val, either- set apart by congress or by proclamation of the president. No change of administration escaped a letter from Mrs. Hale. She was writ ing letters and printing accounts of the partial success of her proposition, but one thing after another appeared to put off the main feature of her plan. Of course, congress never has passed an act making any day a na tional holiday, and there does not ap pear to be anything in the constitu tion that would enable it to do so, but there was nothing in that docu ment that would prevent a president of the United States from proclaiming a day of thanksgiving, and Mrs. Hale would be satisfied with either, so long as the day was to be one nationally observed. By 1859 she had been so far suc cessful that in that year 25 states, three territories and the District of Columbia responded by setting apart the last Thursday in November as a Thanksgiving day. This wa sum of her accomplishment the ends of her desire in 20 y. agitation. It was good progres' she held on tenaciously to her or contention, and wrote again t president. The dawn of the civil war wa. disclosing itself to the keen o! ers, and little progress was made in the adoption of the Tli giving day plan. I hen the war broke upon the country and thought of a Thanksgiving da lost to north and south alike. F 1863 the turning point in the wa curred. Gettysburg had been f and the tide began to slacken an back to the southland. Pre Lincoln probably was in a mo receive such suggestions as that Hale offered, for he made proc tion that the last Thursday ir. vembcr of that year should be of national thanksgiving. Thus, in 1863, the first na Thanksgiving day was celebr Even that was not general, for southern states were still outsid union, and consequently woul ceive no suggestions from the i! dent of the United States. Bu die had been cast in a good rnol before two more years turned an the country was united, poutica not sympathetically, and both that had fought were in a mooi giving thanks that the great war at an end.

Try Lux next time. With Lux no chipping, no shaving it necessary All you have to do is to throw a handful of Lux flakes into a bowlful of hot water. These fine, transparent flakes melt at once, making a rich, foamy lather in a moment, which dissolves the dirt, without rubbing. Read what Mrs. Wilkie aays: "I dm Lu and likt It, particularly for tba baby'a flannala. Thay had bacoroa discolored from having had to dry thsm In the house ao much of lata. The first time they wera washed with Lux, they returned to their former whiteness.' Mrs. Wallace L. Wilkie, Cumberland Hill, R. L .You, too, will he delighted with the softness and white, ness of baby's woolens and the children's sweaters. And, think of it, they actually will not have shrunk at all! Soap should never be rubbed -, directly on fine delicate fabrics Use Lux for little sister's and the baby's finernte dresses. Soap rubbed directly on these delicate garments is likely to tear and coarsen the fabrics, and by not being thoroughly rinsed out, often turns them yellow. Lux dis solves instantly and no rubbing is necessary. Thousands of women have adopted the Lux way of washing these dainty little dresses as the one absolutely safe way to keep them soft, fresh and snowy white. Lux will not harm anything that pure water alone will not injure. Lux is sold by grocers, druggists and department stores. Gee a package today. Lever Bros.
