Thanksgiving Dinner Hints for
Busy Housewives
By JEAN PRESCOTT ADAMS
I our nation that the first Ameri
can holiday should have been one
of thanksgiving for the harvest they
had worked so hard to produce.
Our sturdy ancestors left us this
heritage of faith and spiritual in
spiration that has made possible ouf
victory over kultur without iron
military rule over the civilians who
are giving of their savings and spar
ing of their food to win the war.
To give our best in deeds and then
offer thanks for a resulting harvest
admits a faith that spurs us on to
an ever advancing "best." All cares
and worries are easily put aside in
the enjoyment of thrilling outdoor
sports for the younger, and the re
uniting of friends and family for the
- more "mature members of the family.
The day's triumph is always of
fered by the home maker who ar
ranges the family dinner. To ac
complish the exceptional culinary
Victories and have enough energy
i left to enjoy one's company is quite
an art. It often takes quite a dip-
lomat to keep the table conversation
of the family from running into a
long standing and heated argument
between father and Uncle George.
They get together so seldom they
ifever have had a chance to air all
thlpoints on each side so it keeps
one of the qui vjve to steer conver
sation into safe points.
To reserve energy for these im
portant duties of the hostess it is ab
rolutely necessary to do as much
the day or two before as possible.
It is these days of preparation
and anticipation that the children re
member longest and perhaps enjoy
' the most."The wise mother gives
each member of the family definite
duties to be responsible for. , Some
one sees that the dusting is done,
another that guests' towels are
placed, another will be ready to an
swerthe belt and entertain early
arriving guesti.
. One of the greatest helpers to a
busy home-maker is the manufac
turer of dependable foods who
J laces practically everything she
eedj in a neat package at her local
groctr's.
Busy Hostess. i
For the busy hostess the delicious
soups, vegetables, fruits, and condi
. ments all ready to use eliminate so
much of the tedious work of prep
aration. ,The quality of canned pumpkin
and prepared mince meat eliminate
any uncertainty regarding the ies
tive pies.
With sane eating and the conservation-program
in fashion our mod
ern Thanksgiving dinner, while a
cjilinary triumph, will be simpler
than in the past.
An attractive three-course Selec
tive menu is suggested elsewhere on
this page. You will note that the
salad has been omitted from the
hearty dinner. In the interest of
comfort and conservation, the salad
may well be made the main dish of
the evening meal following the
hearty dinner.
Make your pies and any sugarless
candies and stuffed fruits the day be
fore. Have the roast all ready to go
into the oven and the garnishes and
lettuce and fruits ready to serve and
in a cool place.
Remember that the main thing is
to keep everyone happy all day, and
to this end you must manage -to
eliminate alt" unnecessary care and
work.
Pumpkin Pie.
Anyone who has ever lived in
New England or ever passed the
winter there will tell you that pump
kin pie is a great favorite. In fact,
we can trace it back to colonial
days and the times when Thanks
giving dinner was a festival to which
evervone long looked forward.
In the eastern states the people
look forward for weeks to Thanks
giving and Christmas, especially
. those living on the large farms and
With plenty of room to entertain
the entire family, there is no festi
val day that offers a better oppor
tunity for a glorious time.
To see a load or golden pump
kins that the farmers gather in from
the fields each fall takes one back
to the days of jack o' lanterns and
the early memories of tisits to
grandparents on the farm.
In the city the average housewife
finds it easier, and usually more
satisfactory to purchase a goaid
brand of the canned pumpkin than
to purchase the pumpkin itself, peel
and cook it for hours, then can it to
be used at a later day Ki. make it
into pies and pudding.
There are several points to know
about this canned product which are
most valuable to remember. Canned
pumpkin is cheaper than any other
pie filling and considerably cheaper
than practically all other canned
foods.
Sugar shortage has greatly cur
tailed the home canning of pie fill
ings. Pumpkirfspie is one of the few
articles which can be successfully
sweetened with cane and 0 corn
syrup.
Pumpkin pies have but one crust
requiring but half the flour usetl
in other pies. Pumpkin is also used
in puddings where no crust is neces
sary. Menus for Thanksgiving

We have old maids of this type
in the senate, house and state legis

and like the Bibical poor, we shall
have them perpetually. The impa

They are the -pebbles that give

mined by a tendency to ossify, or
turn to bone, usually beginning at
the head.
The genuine article, of either sex,
is more concerned with things than
principles. A world war may be
raging, nations perishing v of starva
tion or by the sword, but the real
issue of life to the gentlemanly old
maid will be: "Are my suspenders
where I leave them every night?"
And to the ladylike old maid: "Is
my hat on straight?"
Their world is bounded on the
north by "Me" on the south by "My
Things" on the west by "What I
Think" and on the east by "What I
Feel About Other People." Some
times a genuine old maid maTries,

Kindergarten Helps For Parents
This Is on of a series of articles Issued by thDepartment of the Interior,
bureau of education, and the National Kindergarten association.
By DR. LYMAN ABBOTT.
The kindergarten is more than a particular form of school. It is
an essential principle of education the principle that education is
growth, riot manufacture. The kindergarten is a child garden; the home
and the school are the soil; bad habits are the weeds; the parents and
the teachers are the gardeners; education is preparing and enriching the
soil, planting the seeds, weeding the garden bed; the kindergarten plays
and songs are garden tools; a cheerful spirit, a genial humor, a spirit of
kindness and sympathy are the necessary sunshine; sorrows, trials, temp
tations, tears, discipline are the necessary rain. '
Every home and every school should be a child garden. The pupils
should never graduate. The primary school, the grammer school, the
high school, the college,1 should all be child gardens in which the growing
youth should be guided in his growth, but always encouraged to grow
naturally, simply, healthfully into whatever flower and fruit his nature
fits him for. The motto for the parent and the teacher should always
be "Consider the lilies of the field how thev Brow:" and the model of
in the -eld-fashioned city houses. ithe parent and the teacher should always be the divine model furnished
by Uod s work in creation. And Ood said, Let the eartn bring tortti
grass,-the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind.
progress, cut we think ot them and
lament their presence in Tennyson's
apt phrase: "A yet warm corpse,
and yet unburiable." Not long ago,
one of these ran for the presidency;
he also undertook an unsuccessful
pleasure excursion, at the govern
ment's expens.e for which a certain
club awarded him a medal for valor.
I do not know the inscription on this
gift horse, but bearing his record on
woman suffrage in mind, it might
have read: He has not changed his
mind in fifty years.
The Bachelor Girl.
The bachelor differs from the' old
njaidJn that she is invariably fem
inine. We have no bachelor girl
wearing trousers, and wearing mus
taches and beards, as we have old
maids and all too many of them.
The bachelor girl is a spinster and
as progressive as the old maid is
reactionary. The bachelor girl al
most always marries, and if she does
not it is for every reason but lack
of opportunity. She dresses well,
because she realizes that a good ap
pearance is the best introduction,
and while a dowdy jacket may cover
a noble heart she realizes it will ob
tain slower recognition than if its
nobility were masked by one that
i is up to date.
The bachelor girls were the first
to avail themselves of the higher ed
ucation offered to women, and to
fill the colleges and prepare far the
professions. They were the first to
organize units in FranceN and Bel
gium to feed the refugees, care for
the lost children and nurse the sick,
and they went prepared for these
duties.
They did not invade stricken
countries full of futile sympathy and
inability to speak a word of the lan
guage. They had less of "Oh, you
poor dears'," and more of "Je
pearle."
They did the first thing that came
to hand and they did it mighty well.

"What reason now, the war is over "

Of a hoox he dare not tell.
For if he did, he knows his clothlns
Like ancient yelks would look and smell.
So he conjures up an answer
"The hours of night exceed the day;
This Is the reason, ma'am, no other
The faithful hens refuse to lay."
So we will have to wait till summer
When the hours are mostly light.
For you see all hens are roosters
Threugh the long, ions winter' night '
The moment his now come to
prepare for peace.' , Actual peace
may come at arjynoment ; it may be
deferred for some 'time. Until
peace is really here there can be
no relaxation in any Red Cross ef
fort incident to active hostilities,
but even with peace, let no one sup
pose that the work of the Red Cross
is finished. Millions of American
boys are stjll under arms. Thou
sands of them are sick or wounded.
Owing to the shortage in shipping
it may take a year or more to bring
our boys home from France. But
whatever the time, our protecting
arms must be about them and their
families over the whole period
which must elapse before the nor
mal life of peace can be resumed.
Our soldiers and sailors are en
listed until the cotnmander-in-chief
tells them there is no more work
for them in the war. Let every
Red Cross member and worker
show our returning soldiers and sail
ors that to care for their health,
welfare and happiness we are en
listed for no less a period than
they are.
The cessation of war will reveal
a picture of misery such as the
world has never seen before, es
pecially in the many countries which
cannot help themselves. The Amer
ican people will expect the ; Red
Cross to continue to act as their
agent in repairing broken spirits
and broken bodies, peace terms nd
peace conditions will determine how
we may best minister to the vast
stricken areas which have been har
rowed by war and in this great act
of mercy the heart and spirit of the
American people must continue to
be mobilized through the American
Red Cross.
On behalf of the war council, we
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of worlters through
out the land to bear in piyid the sol
emn obligation ' which- rests upon
each one to "carry on" and not abate
one instant in our efforts or in our
spirits. There will be an abund
ance of work to do and specific ad
vices will be given, but even at the
moment of peace let no Red Cross
worker falter.
Our spirits must now -call us to
show that it is not the roar of can
non or the blood of our own alone
that directs our activities, but that
a grt'at people will continue to re
spond greatly and freely to its obli
gation and opportunity to serve
mankind.
Red Cross Makes Survey
Paris. Nov. 14. (By Cable to the
American Red Cross) Elaborate
preparations for economic restora
tion work are being made by the
European commission of the Ameri
can Red Cross, as the result of the
Germanic military machine's down
fall. The commission, in view of the
rapidly shifting . political, military
and economic conditions, today an
nounced the appointment of Homer
Folkes, of New York, to make a
complete survey of European coun
tries in which the Red Cross may
be called upon to do work, the
exact nature of which is yet to be
determined.
The situation, it was pointed out,
may result in an even, larger de
mand upon the American people for
assistance than v?as at first counted
upon in connection with the organi;
zation's plans for the comiig win
ter. Thousands'of civilians in the
war devastated areas will suffer
during the cold weather now near
ly here, and it is considered doubt
ful whether the organized govern
ment bureau entrusted with care of
the civilian populations can cope
with the conditions that will con
front them.
Accordingly, Mr. Folkes, who
for more than a year has been di
rector of the civilian relief work in
France for the American Red Cross,
has been called to Europe to deter
mine the effect of the war upon the
civil populations. He will endeavor
to determine the total cost, m terms
of human life, of the Armageddon,
and will seek to reach an accurate
estimate both of the Jotal damage
to property and the amounts neces
sary to accomplish rehabilitation of
the war-swept communities.
Prior to his assignment to Red
Cross service, Mr. Folkes was well
known for his charitable and pub
lic health activity in New York.

beads which have been dipped with infinite patience twenty times in
a solution which the artful French people have discovered, a solution
which is made from fish scales. These pearls are guaranteed forever,
so hard is this coating. There's a dainty string at $5.00 for baby and
strings of different lengths and sizes up to the $150 opera size with
diamond and platinum clasp. You'll enjoy the luster of these pearls

Miss Co well Goes
Sightseeing in
Paris
SIGHT-SEEING for a day in
Paris is described in one of
Miss Mona Co well's recent
letters to her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Cowell.
"There are lovely long vistas with
rather imposing buildings at the
terminals. There' is the Senat and
the gallery adjoining which have
the advantage of age to soften and
lend beauty and suitability to.the
picture. I had no idea the flowers
would be well cared for. They
were very lovely and I am certain
brought cheer to many a weary
heart," she wrote.
"Many soldiers were out with
their families, some Americans with
French girls mostly however a
rather , domestic picture of what is,
sometimes referred to as middle
class life. The people were plainly
but decently clad and as to be ex
pected, largely in black.
"I strolled on down Boulevard
St. Michel much farther than I had
intended, really, on my quest for
the Sorbonne. I found it back near
the Pantheon, which latter is also
closed, by the way. Luckily, I did
my sightseeing in days that are
gone. I finally reached the Sorbon
ne and as I walked through the si
lent corridors I thought how differ
ent my visit from what I once
thought it might '. I had quite
a chat with the c. icrge, who in
formed me most of the students
were women and even so, the num
bers woefully diminished. Like all
the French he was overjoyed at re
cent war news and loud in- his
praises of what the Americans are,
doing.
A View of the Seaie.
"Finally I parted from the dear
old sol and took a trolley back
to the Chatelet, across from the
Sarah Bernhardt theater. I could
n't keep from taking a stroll over
the Seine for one more view, of the
Hotel de Ville. French buildings are
surely commandingly beautiful. I
had a long walk altogether before
I got back to the St. Tames, but.
was refreshed by a cup of tea. That
means just tea, too, no cake or
even bread and butter.
"After dinner we started out to
see "Billeted" at the English thea-'
ter. When one may be sent any
day to the "Wilds of France" one
ceases to observe conventional Sun
days. The two girls I am chum
ming with are going right up near
the front lines. One as a "search,
er," who looks up records for fami
lies of soldiers, etc. The other goes
to a hospital but which contains a
canteen, library and recreation cen
ter for the convalescents of base
hospital. x -
"We took the motor to St. Lazar,
and then wandered up many V
shaped streets until finally we got
the right direction. As we were
inquiring our way to Kansas City
man came inquiring also, so we all
went together. He said he had been
tramping looking for the place for 7
half an hour. I can assure you his
presence was very comforting as
we wended our way up the dark
streets. Being in uniform we got
splendid seats, for 2 franc3, 50 cents,
which considering that most seats
are 12 francs, was a very pleasant
surprise.
"Two of us had seen the otay be
fore, Miss Lambertson twice. . It
was well worth a repetition, though,
and fun to compare the English com- -pany's
production with Margaret :
Anglin. The costumes were not so
lovely, some of the lines were
changed, but on the whole it was a
very creditable production. We got
back safely via the Metro and felt
quite'capable to do most anything in
the finding of localities after our ex
periences." Miss Cowell is doing Red Cross
work in France.

May Open Women's
Cantefen School
Every day patriotic women apply
to William J. Mulligan, chairman of
the Knights of Columbus committee
on war activities in New York, for
work 'with the Catholic organiza
tion. They are willing to go ovVr
seas or willing to remain, in this
country and work at ordinary
camps. Invariably Mr. Mulligan
suggests "Why not apply to the
Red Cross?" and points out the big
field and opportunities for earnest
women workers in that organiza-'
tion. Scores of these applicants
have acted upon his suggestion and
volunteered for Red Cross work.
" Anticipating that the government
may request that, in conjunction
with other' war relief organizations,
