BANQUET
A banquet and game supper will be served at the Allegheny Club, Minnehaha Springs, on Thursday evening November 28, Thanksgiving, at 7 p.m. After supper, the evening will be spent at cards and dancing. This will be the most elaborate affair ever held at the Club. The public is invited. A charge of $2 a plate will be made.
The Truth of It
“Well, Nettie, did you know that we had all come for Thanksgiving?” asked Uncle John, as he chucked his little niece under the chin.
“I expected you,” she said, sweetly. “Mother said that the whole family was coming, and it was a dreadful bore, but that Thanksgiving only comes once a year.”
Turkey Belongs to America
The turkey is an American bird. Lucullus and the Epicureans did not know about him. He was found in his wild state after Columbus’ first voyage. About a hundred years after the discovery of America, broiled young turkeys became great delicacies on the Frenchman’s table.
