Thus was, with Bisket and Holland Cheese, and a bottle of aquavlte," the first New England Thanksgiving dinner eaten on the noon of November 2G, 1C20, around a fire of sasa fras, juniper and pine, which smelled both sweet and strong. Later these hardy adventurers were able to feast on wild fowl and venison In plenty, as have those who came after them even unto the present day, for the forests of the cape abound with game, and the waters with fishes very much as In the days of the little Pi'grim band who In the Mayflowers cabin signed the first New England charter. Although not set down In the laws, the reunion feast became an Informal annual function, and there can be but little doubt that Thanksgiving day as known to us of the present had its origin in and was inspired by the ability of the pilgrim band to soften the strong waters of the hospitable Dutch with the spring waters of the new world, by chance shall we say? Or to what cause shall we credit the selection of the last week of November for the day of feasting and prayer now so eagerly looked for and as carefully observed as Christmas, the New Year or Independence Day? The day of thanks Is more typically a national holiday than Is any other. It Is American and unique. Every country has one or more days set apart to commemorate Independence or the granting of some great boon to Its people that may be considered a step on the stairway to liberty, but the Thanksgiving day of the United States is without a close comparison In any land. Thanksgiving day begins the winter season. Wherever you find an American you will, as the month of November wanes, find one who thinks more of being at home or at the home of intimate friends for Thanksgiving day. Clubs, hotels, public Institutions, all see to It that their patrons, member or Inmates are provided with a sumptuous repast for the one great feast day. and whenever and wherever possible a great, fat turkey graces the board. The turkey should be our national bird, as It is or, rather, was everywhere in a wild state, and helped the original colonists to provide for their families. It has for 300 years been the chief feature at all important strictly American banquets, and may be safely called our greatest national food delicacy. The Spaniards In Florida, French In Louisiana, Pilgrims In Cape Cod and founders of the Virginia company all found the wild turkey ready for the sport and table in this their new home, and the American of today, from the president of the United States to the hum- - THE REUNION A Story of a Thanksgiving in a Tourist Car V V V V By MINNIE E. OLIPHANT. Genevieve and I were riding In a tourist car, headed away from Los Angeles, and slowly creeping across Death valley. Our thoughts were with the folks at home, who were getting ready for the Thanksgiving dinner, but we were talking of other things. Words are slow un.ess thoughts are producing them, and, therefore, the conversation lagged. Finally, Genevieve turned to me with the smile she always wore when a good plain plan had just struck her. Lets make believe, she suggested, that the passengers In this coach are all relatives, and let's have a family reunion and Thanksgiving dinner. How can we? I asked. Ill go around and tell them that this Is Thanksgiving, and we are all relations, and they are invited to our section for a family reunion, and that they are to furnish their own share of the dinner." I looked around the car to see what cur relations appeared to be like. Just back of our section was a young man with a fretful baby, and little He seemed so d girl tired, but patient, though awkward, with the children. I had heard him tell the young man who wore a striped sweater, and sat across the aisle, that he had just lost his wife and was taking the children back to tbetr grandmother in Ohio. The young man In the sweater lolled around in his section, dividing his time between a magazine, the Los Angeles papers and the desert scenery outside. Back of him eat a middle aged Jew, who talked to no one, and looked at nothing in particular, as II he had foigotteu where he was.

If one would enjoy a good old fashioned Thanksgiving day at its best the true road to the feast lies In the country. Thanksgiving on the farm Is something to be remembered. There the whole family is taken Into consideration, and It is safe to say that each individual member has been preparing for the day almost ever since the celebration of the last one. Stores of mince, apple and pumpkin pies have been baked and range on the broad shelves of the store room; apple sauce, preserves, with home-mad- e down put pickles, months before required for use; stores of grapeb, apples, pears and nuts, carefully looked over; a goodly ham, freshened In cold water 24 hours, then carefully wiped dry and placed In a pot of cider to boll 15 minutes to the pound; a loin of pork, roasted to a rich, golden brown, to be served with apple sauce, and the feature of the feast a turkey, fattened to about the mark, the pride of the farmer and the joy of "nls wife. The turkey, hatched on the farm and as carefully watched as any member of the family, fattened on grain and meal with a mixture of chopped nut meats to give It the proper flavor, killed one week before the feast and hung In an outhouse, where it is kept cold, but will not be Injured by the frost, la brought in the night before for final treatment before being consigned to the oven. The great bird Is carefully picked and drawn, the Interior wiped out, not washed, which would destroy the flavor, and filled with what Is known. In the country as the stuffin, a thick mixture of sausage meat, bread crumbs and eggs, with just a faint touch of sage and onion. When prepared and placed In the huge oven to roast it becomes the duty of one cook to watch the oven and baste the roast until it Is evident to the practised eye of the heroine of many such conflicts that the turkey Is ready to be served with fresh made cranberry sauce and a rich gravy. In which all the giblets have been stirred with some chestnuts. Now. everything being ready. d In No, no, Genevieve; interrupted we don't want to go into the diner. We want a make believe family reunion here In our private car. Then turning to the young man, Chocolate and chewing gum are acceptable. If they are the best you have. The man with the children had been down to the end of the car, giving each of them a drink, and returned to his seat. Just as Genevieve was ready to put the matter before him. We are to have a family reunion, she began, but seeing a shadow pass over his face, hastened to add; This well-balanc- ALL-AROU- IN THE HANDY, blest citizen of the country, will enjoy the Thanks- the back, and that she tucked her scolding locks up every few minutes with a slender, ringless hand. And these were to form our family party. While I was studying the people, Genevieve was taking an Inventory of our supplies. Go on with your Invitations, I advised, and. If they are accepted, I will look after the table. She stepped back down the aisle and stood with her hand on the seat In front of our Jewish friend to be. I beg your pardon, she began, but I want to invite you to come to dinner, and to furnish your share of It. Thank you, he looked up and smiled, as he lifted his hat, but where is jour dinner to be?

HER LITTLE JOKE. the family and guests (and there are sure to be guests In country at a country Thanksgiving dinner) troop into the long dining room, to find the repast not only ready, but served with all the pomp and state the feast deserves. The turkey Is placed before the host, while the roast loin of young pig graces the opposite end of the table, with the boiled ham in the center, flanked with mashed white and baked sweet potatoes, turnips and cauliflower, with boats of gravy and bowls of sauce within easy reach of all. Now pass up your plates, Is requested from each end of the table, and the oftener this repeated advice Is followed the more the face of the good matron glows with satisfaction. The great pitchers of foaming cider pass along the board and the diner at a farm Thanksgiving feast finds It all so novel and good that the vision comes up before him frequently while struggling with a complicated menu at his club or some hotel or mincing through the series of problems presented at a French or Italian table d'hote dinner.

Oh, of course, we will be glad to If my accept your kind Invitation. children wont disturb the party. No, indeed, she assured him, "we need children to make a Thanksgiving dinner complete, and, with the baby In her arms, she walked down to the golden haired lady.
