To make a unique Thanksgiving dessert, cut a small pumpkin across the top.
Carefully scoop out the inside. Place on a dish and fill with Floating Island;
replace the pumpkin top. Garnish the platter with generous sprigs of autumn
leaves, and on these lay a variety of sliced cakes.

Yes, Christmas day has come at last
And I am glad 'tis here,
For, don't you think, for this one day,
I've waited just a year.
I'm sure it should have come before,
As sure as I'm alive;
Fifty-two Sundays make a year,
And I've counted seventy-five.
There's one thing makes me very glad.
As glad as I can be;
The years grow short as we grow old,
And that will just suit me.
I wish 'twas Christmas every month —
That's long enough to wait —

Washington's Birthday
"Statesmen, yet friend to truth! of soul sincere,
In action faithful, and in honor clear!
Who broke no promise, serv'd no private end.
Who gained no title and who lost no friend.
Ennobled by himself, by all approved."
ORTUNATE is the housekeeper who has
old-fashioned blue and white china and
twice fortunate is she who ha? heir-
looms of silver, pewter and glass. Make
the decorations festive and holiday-like.
Red and white carnations in a blue bowl,
make a pretty centerpiece to the table,
or, prettier still, is red, white and blue
crinkled paper, neatly wound around ajar
of green with an artistic bow at the side. If one has a Jerusalem cherry tree so
much the better.
