FOR DINNER CARDS.

Appropriate Designs Help to Lend Flavor to Thanksgiving Repast. A great deal of the success of a dinner party depends upon the place cards, although they are apparently a very small detail of the table. But any woman who entertains a good deal knows that quaint or unusual favors aiul cards call forth general enthusiasm and interest among the guests and give a topic of conversation which lends cordiality to the occasion, when otherwise there would be a stiffness and awkwardness at the start which it would be somewhat difficult to overthrow. Thanksgiving is usually the time for a family reunion, and since families meet together upon such occasions year after year it is especially important to introduce as much novelty in the table itself as possible. Silhouette pictures, used for place cards, form interesting and acceptable accessories for the table. These, outlined and filled in solidly in black, may take the shapes of turkeys, pumpkins, pies, wishbones, etc. Part of the design may be left white, if desired, for the writing of the name, or the silhouette design may be pasted

TABLE DECORATED FOR THANKSGIVING.

on a plain white card. A card which is generally liked and used for such purposes measures 2% by 4% inches and may be purchased at the stationer’s. A pair of scissors and a jar of paste, and. presto, in a few minutes you have a novelty in place cards which will be sure to delight your guests. You do not need to be an artist to carry out silhouette designs. If you desire you may easily outline any picture on tissue paper and transfer it by carbon paper to a card and then fill in the outline afterward by means of a fine camel's hair brush and a bottle ofr India ink. Some little care must be exercised in making a firm outline and applying th“ ink smoothly, for the silhouette must necessarily rely on its outline for character. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Very Cold Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day in I*7l was remarkable for the bitterly cold weather w’bich prevailed over a large portion of our land. At many points in the northwest the mercury fell from 30 to 40 degrees below zero, while at many places in New England it marked from 13 to 20 degrees below. The great feature of the day was a prizefight between Jem Mace, the famous gypsy ex-cham-pion of England, and Joe Coburn, an Irish-American pugilist, for the championship of the world and $2,000. It was fought, at Montgomery station, near Bay St. Louis. Rfiss., and was witnessed by 500 spectators. Neither man seemed anxious to fight, and after they had sparred for three hours and thirty-eight minutes without materially damaging each other the referee declared the fight a draw.

The Gold of Autumn.

There is a story—loved by all Germanic people and happily by the rest or mankind who knows it —of gold shining at the bottom of -the rushing river of ages'. No atom of it was ever taken away, because it was guarded by the immortal vigilance. Man’s faith has always been that the gold of autumn between the shores of the hills will gleam in Its place until the divine forsakes it. He has always worshiped the god of the yellow corn.—James Lane Allen in Munsey Magazine.

You can t heat this for an investment. I We carry a line of Studehaker wagons just as strongly made, just as reliable, as the Studehaker wagon Mr. Dewey bought 38 years ago.
