Show THE SALT LAKE-TRIBUNE- SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22,1926. , t THE COOK BOOK THE OLD THANKSGIVING. WHEN probably between 1X70 snl that many of the old American customs began to pass away or, at any rate, many things then became new. At about that period so evening instead of a noon dinner became more general, and a dinner that was introduced by a soup. The noon dinners had generally been soupless. Before that, and for years after that among the more conservative and especially among the country people, a soup was a one piece meal. It was e delicious and thick concoction made with a long marrow bone in the pot. with plentiful potatoes and onions and sometimes little else for seasoning. If there was a Welsh Taffy around, so was there the weapon the marrow tw e for his chastisement. The old American cook books pay less heed to the Thanksgiving menu or viands than we would expect, but Mrs. E. A. Howland, in her book, The American Economical Housekeeper," published in 1853, does line up with her recipes a page headed Thanksgiving Dinner." It reads thus: Roagt turkey, stuffed. "A pair of chickens, stuffed and boiled, with cabbage and a piece of lean pork. A chicken plo. Potatoes, turnip sauce; squash; onions, gravy and gravy sauce; apple and cranberry sauce; oyster sauce, brown and white bread. " Plum and plain pudding, with sweet sauce Mince, pumpkln.-anapple pie " Cheese " P: S The Following this la; chickens are to be prepared in the same manner as you would roast them; fill the bodies and crops full of stuffing, and sew them up close, boil them an hour and a half or two hours." The recipes glvfen with this menu are for turnip sauce, Bquash, onions, gravy sauce, cranberry sauce, and oyster sauce, and are exceedingly simple: " Turnip sauce Boil the turnips and mash them fine: add the same amount of mealy mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper; moisten it with cream or butter. " Squash Boll it. peel It. and squeeze it dry tir acnlandert mash it fine, season It with salt, pepper, and Lind-Stro- it:f There la a surprising amount of room in the Interior of this home From the front porch the entrance gives Into an entryway provided wUh a commodious closet.

The long living room, with its abundance of light, should be a cheerful spot always In the home. Its delightful, open fireplace is centered between double windows in the wall opposite the doorway leading In from the hall. The sun porch at the rear is large enough to add considerably to the living quarters If it be enclosed and fitted with heating facilities. Care should be taken in finishing a living room the length of this one, since there is a long celling span, all of it subject to vibrations and strain from the occupied rooms above. The Joists between the first an J second floors should be of adequate size and carefully bridged. This being done, and the plaster being applied on a base of metal lath, plaster cracks, which often mar such a room as this will be avoided.

All this, sounds prosaic enough, but if we read between the lines and build up a picture of the day from many sources this menu will not seem so dull. Of course, we must criticize the recipes because not one of them is precise.

The old Thanksgiving appetizer was a devotional exercise with a sermon. Tou can get the same appetizer today but how manv people do? In the old day Thanksgiving was a reunion day and all the pride that affection can breed went into the preparing of the dinner. The preparation went considerably farther back than it needs to do today. There was sugar to be clarified so that it might be clean for the cranberry sauce and other uses. The salt used was rock salt, which had to be and dried and pounded and sifted The preparing of mince meats and pump kin pie filling was no small task, and turkeys and chickens were picked snd dressed at home, and so it was their quality, dub to this fact often rather than any superior cooking, that ex cited enthusiasm for the meal of the day.

Such a house is the one shown today, designed by Architect J. W. of Minneapolis, Minn. It is quite apparent from the broad, rather low exterior, that comfort was one of the first considerations in the planning of the bouse. The broad porch, with Us adequate- - and pleasing columns, is made an intimate part of the structure, due to its being Included under the long, sloping roof o L the main building. The same artifice is used to make the sun porch in the rear practically an additional room for the home. From Its location. It has the added advantage of more privacy and the possibility of a charming garden for ap outlook. The exterior is one which lends well to several types of construction It would make a charming picture If done in brick of the proper shade of red, with the root tiles" in dull grav or green and the columns of a trim creamy white. Another pleas'ng and practical structural type would Pe that of stucco on a base of cement blocks or on metal lath over a wood frame.
