A Thanksgiving Family Party By DONALD CHAMBERLIN The most delighttui pari or my uu was that age when hoys and girls free ly mingle with eiu-h other as friends, half boy and girl, half man and wmn an. There was one Thanksgiving when the head of our large family invited every member that eould be reached to s^cml a week in his large country house, including Thanksgiving day There were brothers and sisters, cousins, second cous.ns and third cousins. Many of tny relatives I laid never seen. Those of us of my generation went in for n good time together. The girls were of thyt age when a taste for mischief predominates. Nothing seemed to please them so well as to perpetrate some innocent practical Joke on us hoys. A third cousin of mine. Becky Aldrlch, one morning while watering some plants with a sprayer sprinkled the back of my ueck. Though she was behind me. she failed to escape before I saw who she was. One night when 1 was getting ready for bed I found the legs of my pajamas sewed up. JVlien I had ripped the sewing, got ttiera on and tumbled into bed I found the sheets scratched. I uttered one exclamation and heard u giggle at my door. I had turned off the light, so, springing out of bed. 1 tiptoed hastily to the door, opened it and was In time to grab the last of a flock of girls who ran away in the darkn^^^g^gyPJU^^j^thejnrej Throwing my arms {round my captive, N gave her a^jj^ck, she strug gong 10 oe iree,uaen let ner go. supping back intfi^my room, I turned on a light, and there sticking on to the breast of my pajamas was an elongated pin of chased gold set In the enter with a single sapphire. The i roblem was to Identify the girl 1 had ! isM'd by discovering the owner of the i n. Had it been a cheap article 1 would ! nve had little chance of doiug so. for t':e giils would all stick together to keep the sPcrct. I consulted with m- men cousins, and It was decided that 1 should put the article up at auction at the Thanksgiving dinner, bids to be accepted only from the men. Accordingly when the nuts and coffee came on I too!; the pin out of my vest porket and. holding It up before the company, said: "I l'onnd this article receutly and would be happy to return It to the owner if she will claim it and prove ownership." I swept the board with my glance, but saw no sign of a giveaway on any girl's face. None of them claimed the find. Then | 1 t'UIIUUUt'U. "Since there Is 110 claimant for the article I will put It up at nuctiou, reserving the right to bid to the men present of my own generation, the proceeds of the sale to go to charity." The girls looked at one another curiously. not knowing what was corning. I called for bids, and one of my cousins. Jack Somers. bid 25 cents. There was an exclamation of disapprobation for such an offer, and when another of my confederates bid 50 cents it was repeated. The gem alone could not have been worth less than $25. When every man who was permitted to bid had done so $2.75 was the highest offer received. I knocked the article down to the successful man. Jim Atwood. and he handed me the money. While pretending to be interested in the payment I was keeping one eye on the girls, hoping to see some sign of protest against her property being sold out in this way ueiore ner iuce. una it not Deen ror Jim's assistance I should not have been successful In my came. "What luck!" he exclaimed, holding the pin before him admiringly. "I've wanted something like this for a gift to my fiancee, and now I have found it" The fact of another girl possessing her jewelry was too much for its owner. Becky Aldrich showed by her expression that she was at least to, be [ Remedy id ?-RU-NA ? SALE AT ALL DRUG STORES suspected. I took the pin from Jim and tossed It to her. A telltale blush confirmed my suspicion, and, the eyes of nil the company being concentrated on Becky, it deepened into scarlet. Then there was a burst of laughter, in which every one Joined heartily but Becky This, it seemed to me. was a famous victory, but there is a saying "He who Intirrha host " Rpckv Ore IUIIKUO mill .uunu- ? ? tondt-d to be very much offended with me for the eonrse I had taken. This caused me to feel uncomfortable, and I endeavored to placate her. Placating n girl Is a dangerous business Becky for n long while refused to be appeased. I tried presenting flowers, but they were accepted coldly. Then I suggested that a mate to the pin which had made all the trouble would look very well beside It. Becky pretended to be still more offended that I should oCTei her Jewelry and would not accept the excuse that I was her cousin. To make a long story short. Becky played me as an angler would play a trout till 1 was madly In love with her Having refused me. she seemed to be satisfied and thereafter treated me se considerately that 1 tried again and was successful.
