The Dinner .Should be I'laln mid Hountl-tul-IIuwto (iiive n TUrkejr Instruo tluli Tlmt I I'seful to Kvery Young Mmi-The Turkey Great Dish. The Thanksgiving dinner should al ways be plain and plentiful. The tur key is so grand a dish that it should not be obscured by its surroundings. The special products of. this country are the true material for a Thanks giving dinner. The turkey, the po tato, the pumpkin, the cranberry, th pop-corn and the butternut are pure ly American products, and those who can utilize them to advantage can boast of giving a dinner to which, foreign climes have contributed not a single article. Custom, however, has added othei excellent articles. A bountiful Thanks giving dinner may be made to include roast turkey or chicken pie, or both, cranberry sauce; potatoes, white and sweet; squash and onions and celery J apple, pumpkin, mince and cranberry pies; crackers, plum puddings, fruit, nuts and coffee. The dinner should be served in a simple, old-fashioned way. Let the housewife for once dis pense with 'servants, and serve the dinner with the fair hands of herseil and daughters. The greatest difficulty in the way ol the Thanksgiving dinner is the earr ing of the turkey. Three requisites only are really necessary sufficient knowledge, a very sharp carving knife and a cool head. The sharp knife Is the first esential. To carve a turkey properly, the bird should be served on a platter consid erably lareer than itsnlf Tf thu ter Is small, have a side plate. In the first place, never hurry. A cool head and deliberate manner Is absolutely! essential. The fowl should lay with Its head toward the carver. First sever the I. Pull Off Lx mid Wlnu, II. 81 Ire the Breast, III. Cross Out for Stuffing. legs, If tied, and draw them wide apart with the hands. Then circle the legs and wings (if the latter are left on the bird) with the knife, and, while holding the turkey firmly with the fork, unjoint them and lay them aside. After the legs "and wings are taken off, the fork is plunged Into the breast as near the breast as near the centre of the breast bone as possible, and need not be removed until the turkey is practically cut up. The white meat In the breast should then, be cut off In thin, flaky slices. Then the dark meat, including that on the logs, should also be carved off in as perfect slices as possible. It Is better to finish the carving be fore serving any of the guests, piling the slices neatly on the plutter or the side plate. A cross silt should be cut in the proper place from which to nerve the dressing. Another point is, that the carver should not be expected to serve the nH1" I,,tlie?.are not furnished on side dishes, let him hand the plates when served with turkey to an assist ant who will attend to the vegetables. The question is often asked: "How can a turkey be kept from skating or sliding off the dish?" The answer Is, that the person who cannot control his nerves had better resign the Job of carving a turkey to cooler hands. CO ' I I ; iii i r if A iv - THANKSGIVING.

The "(iloomy Thanksgiving-." It was In the year 1721, just a cen tury after the first New England ThankBkivlng, that the people of "old Boston town" celebrated what has gone into history as the "Gloomy Thanksgiving," the saddest day they have ever had. At this time the Governor of the province of Massachusetts Bay was the Hon. Samuel Shute, a man hated and despised by the people over whom he ruled, for even as early as 1721 the New Englanders were stirred by the wrongs they suffered under the King, George I., and the royal governors, who were only too glad to .carry out his oppressive measures. Samuel Shute as a high Tory, while the Legislature of the colony, chosen by the people, was in direct opposition to. him, and this difference in principles led to constant conflicts. The Governor on coming into power devoted himself to enforcing the ar bitrary and inconsiderate acts of the English Parliament, in breaking up the profitable commerce In lumber, on the ground that all the fine trees must bo saved for the King's navy. So, to-day, In some of the oldest woods in Massachusetts, trees can be found marked with the broad arrow that denoted royal ownership. So matters went from bad to worse, the council at last refusing to vote more than a mere pittance for the Governor's salary, and checking him in every possible way. , But better things were In store for them, for the new king soon came to the throne of England, and a new Governor to Massachusetts Bay.Vwho proved far more acceptable than 3amuol ' Shute had been, and this Governor now set to work to help the people, while Samuel Shute returned gloomily to England, missed and mourned by no one. Thanksgiving: IMH of Fare.' , The bill of fare for a country dinner In New England Is not elaborate, nei ther is the service anything to boast Df, but the food is the best and de liclously cooked, and what more could ane ask? For generations, without much variation from it, the .following Is the rule for a New England Thanksgiving dinner: Hoast turkey, with cranberry sauce or currant jelly, mashed potatoes, yellow turnips (mashed), boiled onions, homemade pickles of all sorts, rye and Indian bread, raised biscuit, mince pie, pump kin pie, doughnuts, tea, coffee.
