ILLUSTRATING THE REAL JOY OF THE DAY
?
Lord, we, thy children, email and great*
Beneath thy care, where'er it be,
The while thy flrnce we euppJicate,
Give thanks to thee.
?Clinton Scollard.
TOW
YES, yes, Indeed! We would have
had a perfectly lovely time at
our house on Thanksglvlug if
it hadn't been for an accident
that happened at the din
ner table. At the time I felt terri
bly misanthropic about it and
really had a very bad movay. quart
dour for a minute, but I soon con
soled myself by recalling dfear Rob
ert Hums' precious words, "The
best laid plans of mice and men gang
bide awee."
We only had a small dinner party,
Just the Uolivards and Wood's sister
and her husband and their little boy,
Harold. Did yon ever meet Wood's
sister? My dear, between you and I ?
remember this is strictly Botto voce?
she is very ignorant and snobbish, and
such a talker! Wood himself ac
knowledges that she would surely ex
plode if she ever got tetanus, and ever
since she went abroad she holds her
head as high as Marie Antoinette go
ing to the Moulin Rouge and talks
nothing but. Paris ? a perfect parricide,
I call her!
And Ignorant! Why, do you know,
she brought me back a little statu
esque of Venus from Italy and apolo
gized for its broken arms, by telling
me it was that way the diagonal was
found! Ha, ha, ha! I could scarcely
retain my specific gravity, I was so
amused. 8he didn't know that Mickey
Angelo had carved it that way on
purpose to make it look old and de
bllltated because the Romans dearly
loved antique things. T don't blame
them either, I do myself, don't you?
I have a colonial monogamy antima
cassar 500' years old with all the
knobs broken off. w
I had a high noon dinner at one
o'clock ? "when Jocund day stands
tipsy on the misty
mountain top/'
you know, as dear
old Will would
say. It was a
strict New Eng
land dinner, of
course, in honor
of-, ih? ? day and
Wood's ancestors j
~I am an F. F. V., '
myself ? and before
It was served we
each agreed to tell
the one thing we
were most thankful for.
Wood wan first. lie said words
couldn't express his gratefultude be
cause he didn't have to pay an in
come tax. Poor Wood! He staid up
all the night before, figuring out what
he would have to pay at the source.
He was terribly puzzled at first and
wanted mo to holp him, but I was too
busy assisting Nora to make the
stuffing.
He didn't know whether to multiply
the least common multiple by the
fourth dimension and add 1 per cent
of the remainder, or extricate the
cuberoot of the net proceeds and
square the result. One thing, he said,
was certain He'd just like to get
square once with the Democrats! My.
but he was tickled when ho came up
stairs the next morning to tell me he
had escaped after all. but. he said. It
was a very close shave.
I don't know whether to tell I was
thankful because I had been elected
president of my suffrage club, or be
cause I had such a wonderful child as
Gwendolyn, but I finally decided to In
timate Cordelia, the mother of the
Gratchy, and dteplay my Jewel child.
Besides, I am frir too modest to boast
of myself.
So I had Gwendolyn read a compo
sition on "The First Thanksgiving." in
which she told all about the hard
ships of the poor PllgrlniB who came
over in the May bell with Lord Balti
more to Plymouth, and how they sat
down to their first Thanksgiving din
ner of hominy and codfish bails, and
gave thanks because they hadn't been
I scalped or burned as witches.
Then Wood had her bind every state
in the Union and tell what time it ia
in the Scandalous peninsula when it
ia six o'clock here. Then she showed
all of her beautiful sketches and
played several duets on the piano. She
is Mr. Boguslatchkey's favorite pupil,
and he often tells me that she will be
a perfect tyro when she grows up.
Just then, the "tocfsin of the soul, the
dinner bell," rang and we had to
evade the rest of the program. I was
glad, too, because the Bollvards looked
awfully bored when Wood's sister
asked Harold to recite ? my, my, how
she does love to show him off!
We had a lovely meal. Nora cer
tainly is a fine cook, even if she Is
Irish. I had her mix the mincemeat
with strong tea and cane pepper in
stead of wicked things "like cider and
brandy, and the pies were delicious.
Everything was. Nora hasn t quit
talking about her fine cooking that
day yet. That's one trouble with the
Irish, they are so boastful! I firmly
believe it is the reason that Julius
Caesar, when he conquered Ireland,
christened it "Erin-go-Brag," don t
you? . . .
Beg pardon? Well, the dinner had
passed off beautifully. Wood had kept
the table iif a roar? you know what a
delightful bon mot he is!? and had
carved the turkey Just like a surgeon.
But first I must tell you about Harold.
The little wretch, Instead of peeling
his banana into strips and laying them
carefully on the table like Gwendolyn,
turned his skin back and, after eating
the fruit out of it in two bites, threw
It under the table. He sald afterwards
it slipped off his plate. At any rate it
fell right at Wood's feet.
Poor Wood! He had on some new
shoes without any heels? rhe didn't
want to buy ttiem In the first place,
but * I begged him to, because I love
him to be the observed of all observ
ers and have a moldy form, as my be
loved Shakespeare would say? and he
wasn't used to them, so that when he
got up to leave the table he slipped
on the peel.
Ours Is an extension table with ball
gearing rollers, and when he. grasped
the edge of It to save himself from
falling, alas, alas, It parted in , the
middle and all the combustibles of the
dinner were participated onto the
floor and Wood fell backwards on top
j of his chair with the most violent em
' phasis.
Poor boy! He had been telling a
baseball story and had been Using such
shocking paraphrases as "jammed the
cushion," "swatted the sphere," "clat
tered across the pan" and "dented the
platter." Don't you think it was a
. dreadful coincidence that Just as he
Raid "platter," down went the turkey?
I Oh, dear! I Just can't help but feel
someway that perhaps the whole thing
was a nemesis on him for using such
dreadful, undeflled slang. ...
Well, he paid dearly for it, poor
fellow! I'm afraid It- will be weeks
before his solar system will be entire
ly renovated. When we disinterred
> him that day we found that his paral
lax was dreadfully bruised, and that
i he had a severe attack of nostalgia-^- ,
I declare I thought his dear nose
would never, never stop bleeding!
! Yes, wo all partook of some injury
? Mrs. Bollvard hasn't spoken to mei
since because her new scrape-de-shln
skirt was ruined; that Is, all but Har
old and his mother. It seems like the
very Ironing of fate that they were
the only ones present who escaped
from damage, don't you think so?
Real Cause for Thanksgiving.
On every side there la cause fot'l
thanksgiving. We are at peace with
all, even our enemies, if there be such. j
Our past achievements stimulate to
further efforta, and our present diffi
culties breed fresh determination to
overcome them. * i
