h Thanksgiving
Dinner in
1621
. By MISS ROSE BRlGGS'
Of Plymouth, Mass.
U Is a tradition in Plymouth that
eating turkey and ' cranberry sauce
on Thanksgiving day, goes back to
the first Thanksgiving held by the
Pilgrims.
That little baiid of self-exiled; de
voted Christians crossed the stormy
soa Sri. the Mayflower and landed at
Plymouth Pock on December 21,
1620 (ju&t 300 years ago.) Their
first winter in th new world was
one of great suffering, marked with
"famine and hardships.
During the spring of . 1621 the
Pilgrims who had survived the
bitter winter, sowed their seed and
watched it's growth with: , much
anxiety, for upon the success of, the
crops at harvest time depended then
very lives. IThe following October
the, first harvest was gathered in,
and ;to: their great joy, they were
blessed with an abundance. Then
Governor Bradford (following some
what the custom' of the English
harvest" home) declared a three-day
celebration for feasting and thanks
giving. Chief Massasoit, and other
friendly ; Indians, were invited to
this first 'Thanksgiving party.
Governor Bradford, in his ac
count of the Pilgrims' .first Thanks,,
giving, dos-not give a menu of the
dinner, but he often refers to wild
turkeys as one of, the luxuries of the
colony. However, John Josselyn,
. art English traveler ainh-naturalist,
who ftstted New England in 1638
and wrote an account of its "Rari
ties," says: "Cranberry, or bear
berry (because beari used much to
iced, upon them), js a small trailing
plant that grows in salt marshes that
are overgrown with moss. The In
dians and English- use them much,
boiling them with sugar for sauce to
eat with their meat". . ; ,
That cranberries belong to the tra
ditional Pilgrim dinner is shown, by
the .menu of the "decent repast"
serv'cflat the first "celebration of the
landing of our .forefathers." which
was observed on December 22, 1769.
This day was celebrated by the Old
: Colony club of Plymouth with a pro
cession and a dinner consisting oC a
large baked Indian whortleberry
pudding, a dish of. sauquetash (sue
tatash), a dish of clams, a dish of
oysters and a dish of codfish, a
haunch of venison, roasted by the
first jack brought into the . colony,
t dish of fowl, cranberry tarts, a dish
bf frost fish and eels, an apple pie,
a course of cheese made in the old
eolony. These articles were dressed
in the plainest manner (all appear
ance of luxury and extravagance be
ing avoided in imitation, of our an
cestors, whese memory we shall
efr respect)." ' !
Turkey, succatash and cranberries
still play; their part at the Thanks
giving dinners in Plymouth and five
grains of parched corn arejaid be
side each plate in remembrance of
the early years of famine.
TUP S
.To Press &ilk : ' -
Tp . press out wrinkles from cot
tons, linens and silks tfiey should be
ironed through a piece of thin cot
ton material , wrung out df clear
water, or a --part of the garment
should be sponged with even strokes
and then ironed dry. Heavy or col
ored goods should be sponged ana
ironed on the wrong side. Sponging
with thin starch or gum-arabic
water will mpe some fabrics seem
almost new. Success lies in having
the. garment evenly dampened so
that no water rings are formed nor
an uneven stiffness produced.

Kitchen Sink May
Be Great Time
Saver '
One of the biggest savers of time,
strength and labor in the kitchen
is the sink. Yet many women are
struggling along with none at all
or, at best, a poor and badly placed
One. . ' '
The size of the family and of the
kitchen must determine the size
of the sink," but '.a short sink with
ample table and shelf room near it
may be more'', convenient than a
long ' sink. Two smaller sinks, one
for the table Wishes and the other
for general use in ; the kitchen, ate
very .convenient.. . ' v
The material should be, the best
available, "nonabsorbent of grease
as well as ,of moisture, and there
should be no cracks or square cor
ners to increase the work of keep
ing it clean. -
If possible, ' there should be a
wide shelf or drain board on each
side of the - sink on the level with
the rim of the latter, one to receive
soiled1 dishes and the other clean
ones. Some " housekeepers have
these covered with-zinc- '
As in all. other places where it is
used, the metal must be neatly fitted
and closely fastened down so as
not' to leave any chance for loose,
rough- edges, - or provide breeding
places for insects or a lodgmg place
for grease and dirt.
If there is no place for perma
nent drain boards, sliding or hinged
shelves may be used. A right
handed person usually holds I the
dish in the left hand' while washing
or wiping it, and the dishcloth,
dish mop, or towel in the right
hand. ' 1
The La,undry
Probfem
Have you ever thought of the ad
vantages of the commercial laun
dry? But immediately you say,
"Oh, yes, those are them things
what use bleach in your clothes un
til they melt, tear off buttons and
lose many of your precious things."
Well,, they used to do that But
since many women have gone ' into
the commercial laundry business
things have changed. And the up-to-date
commercial laundry is an
institution of which we may ,be
proud.
In the wes't the women who wash
by the day charge $5 and $5.50 a day
plus their car fare. Then, too, the
employer must provide luncheon
and. sometime? breakfast for the
laundress, not to mention ; soap,
starch, fuel and all the other, things
that go toward making Blue Mon
day. And I am not saying for one
moment that the laundress worthy
of the name does not' earn .her sal
ary. Laundry work is not easy.
, I am simply trying to present the
problem from the economic stand
point. For the. small, family, :9hd
possibly for the large fams". it 4?
more economical to patronize the
commercial laundry. Here, selected
at random, are some of the prices
that one of the up-to-date worrum
commercial laundry proprietors . is
charging: x ,
Plain shirts, 13 cents; dress shirts,
20 cents; collars, 3 cents; handker
chiefs, 2 cents; aprons, 6 cents; over
alls, 15 cents; hose, per pair, 6 cents;
sheets, 6 cents, and tablecloths, 10
cents. -
Don't it seem that one might be
able to get quite a family washing
done at the price of a laundress for
one day plus meals and carfare and
laundry supplies and fuel?
v But there are some folks who will
tell you that they do not wish to
have their clothes mixed in with'any
other, perhaps questionable clothing.
That is the reason they give for tnot
caring to entrust their clothing to
the commercial laundry. But in the
better laundries, and it is a ruling of
the departments of health in some
states, each bundle of laundry is put
into a separate compartment during
the cleansing process. And even
when laundry is mixed together' it is
boiled long enough to render it sani
tary. ' .
During "the war, when bandages
became scarce, and even in some up-to-date
peace-time hospitals a ban
dage is removed from one patient,,
cleansed and made sterile by boiling,
and often used on another patient
And surely if the modern surgeon
approves of this, why should we fear
contamination from the laundries? 1
In some xommercial laundries bet
ter rates are obtained by several
families pooling in their clothes and
promising to send a certain quantity
each week.. Then again one of a
group of families might own a wash
ing machine and an ironing machine
(a mangle) and either a gas or elec
tric iron. Each housewife might
make some arrangement whereby
she could have the use of this equip
ment for a specified time or, to get
back to the commercial idea, one of
the women of the group might do
the washings of several other fami-.
lies at a fair once.
Often the commercial laundry ar
ranges to mend clothes and . darn
socks. More women ought lo, try
