If you are pleased with the result and desire to incorporate him into your life, remove him to a place of safety before his interest has a chance to scorch ; butter him with kindness and sweeten him well. In the uncertain and freakish ways of love let us be thankful for any turn - which brings about a happy crisis.

Thanks for will power. For the charm of in- dividuality, — that which makes you unique in the universe. That your emotional nature is sound and exquisitely responsive. Thanks for friends and that those who have passed on walked be- side you so long. Thanks that life has infinite perspedtive, that though veil after veil be lifted, there's veil after veil beyond. Thanks for a grow- ing compassion for the turkey. We rejoice that it has entered the hearts of an entire nation to keep each year a public thanksgiving day.

In composing a salad for the American palate you may add almost any element used in other countries. Serve in gilded individual dishes, dec- orated with red, white and blue ribbons.

Pour over the salad a dressing composed of seriousness, thinned and spiced with Norman versatility and brilliance. Serve in individual dishes and decorate with a plenty of red tape the sprigs of brusque or embrassed manners with which it is customary to garnish.

Pour over all a fine artistic spirit, a delicate poetic sense, and a dessertspoonful of fickleness. Eat with the salted plums of patriot- ism and courage.
