Yet tha act of nirvlnit gives to hos
pitality a certain liomellnexs, nn Infor
mality, which menls served from aide-

dicates the hoat'a personal Interest in
each guest; It carries with It, more
over, a suggestion of unselfishness.
While working for others, the carver
must perforce forego, temporarily,
conversation, banter, repartee. He
must concentrate; he must make
haste; for the art is long, the time Is
fleeting, and the plates cool.
Fortunately, the custom of carving
the Thanksgiving turkey at the table
has become a fixed part of the day’s
ritual. That this gracious art Is thus
kept from complete disuse, snd Is. In

Miigardno. Millions of home-making
women are organized for cultural,

modern domestic conveniences and la

Prosperity and machinery have
