One legal and annual thanksgiving «!ay. because of the I->ng time It wa*
aueb. deaervea «|*^lal mention. After the iraltora In the flunpowder plot
had been trie*! and punished In Hkx5. It wa* ordered that bemuse of their
deliverance the English fM*oj>le should keep the fifth of Novemlwr every ><ar
“a* a public thanksgiving day to Almighty Ood; that unfeigtievi thankfulnea*
may never be forgotten, and that all ages to come may yield praises to (Sod *
divine majesty for the same." The “fifth of November" continued a legal
thanksgiving day for more thun two centuries; but In later years It fell Into
disuse, and in lWI wa* abolished by parliament.
Long before the advent of the Pilgrims In Massachusetts, all rituals
contained expressions of gratitude to God for his mercies. In that of the
Church of England, special prayers were provided for the Sunday service.
This service however, must be carefully distinguished from the Thanksgiv-
ing day of the Pilgrim fathers. Failure to make this distinction has led to
the groundless claim thnt the Popham colonists were “the first to keep
Thanksgiving day” In America. The service at Monhegan. on which this
claim Is based, was the regular Sunday service of the Church of England;
and while It had an element of thanksgiving, the day can In nowise be re-
garded as a thanksgiving day as that term Is understood.
The record made in his "Breeches Bible" by William White, who came
over In the Mayflower, has far more significance In determining the origin
of our American Thanksgiving day thnn the event at Monhegan. The recon
read: "William White married on ye 3rd day of March, 1620, to Susannah
TUIv Peregrine White born on hoard ye Mayflower In Cape Cod Harbor.
Sonne born to Susnnnah.Whlte 19th ye six o’clock morning. Next day we
meet for praver and thanksgiving.” This meeting "for prayer and thanks- Cj ’ W
giving" was not on Sunday, hut on Tuesday. The fact that It was not a part
of the regular Sunday service makes it more nearly accord with our idea
of Thanksgiving day than does the Monhegan event.
The prototype of our present Thanksgiving day is found In the harvest
festival at Plymouth in 1021. The long winter that followed the establish-
ment of the colonv had been so severe that less than half the settlers had
survived it. “At one time during the winter only Brewster. Standish. and
live other hardv ones were well enough to get about*” In the spring and
summer that followed, their fortunes improved, and by autumn they had
cleared 26 acres and made It ready for cultivation. This Industry, too, had
been rewarded by a bounteous harvest. Now food and fuel sufficient for
the needs of the approaching winter were laid In. Then Governor Bradford
ordered a thanksgiving—the first In America. ... .
The first thanksgiving was not for a day only. It continued a week.
In a letter to a friend In England. Edward Winslow has given us a brief
account of the festivities. This letter bears date of December 11, and in It
Winslow wrote • “Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four men
an fowling that' so we might after special manner rejoice together after we
ad gathered the fruits of our labors. They killed as much fowl as with
1 i.p]n beside served the company about a week. At which times
„ ’ other recreations we exercise our arms, many of the Indians coming
amongst us and among the rest their greatest king. Massasoyt, with some
nieU men'whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went
out and killed five deer which they brought and bestowed on our Governor
noon the captains and others.’
The records make no mention of a thanksgiving day in the next year.
» in the vear following. 1023. such a day was held. This, however, was not
n tl e autumn but In July on the arrival of provisions from England. Nearly
ro ™nrs pass before we hear of another thanksgiving day at Plymouth.
If ‘ onp in 1668. and another for the accession of the Orange Stuarts.

WHEN LAYING OUT GROUNDS
Remember You Owe It to Your Neiflh
bora to Make the Best Possi-
ble Appearance.
The first thing to be tuken Into con-
sideration in laying out grounds Is to
locate carefully all areas and all archi-
tectural features. If the drives and
walks are not constructed they should
he included in the first study, as they
are generally worked out before any-
thing else is attempted. If there is to
be a formal garden, it should see a part
of the house itself and should be so
placed that it may be appreciated from
the principal windows and porches.
The dining and living rooms should
have the best views, and the kitchen
may open upen the laundry yard or
service court.
Care should be exercised to keep the
place from being broken up any more
than necessary, and, with the areas lo-
cated, the planting lines may be stud-
ied. Open spaces should never be ob-
structed by gaudy flower beds or in ap-
propriate vases.
In most cases there should be seme
planting at the corner of the property
to indicate the lot line and to draw in
the place, making it seem more private
and homelike. There are cases where
the whole side should be planted, and
this is best accomplished with well se-
lected, dense shrubs. The shrubs with
brightest colors should be placed so
that they may be appreciated from the
most important part of the house.
PASTIME WELL WORTH WHILE
If Contemplating Building, It will Pay
One to Study Historic Designs
in Architecture.
A study of historic designs in archi-
tecture is a pastime which not only
furnishes a pleasant form of recrea-
tion, but will, when one’s own house is
contemplated, prove exceedingly help-
ful.
To be able to recognize at a glance
the lines and modifications of these his-
toric styles, as expressed in the differ-
ent houses with which you come in
contact, will be most gratifying; and
when you reach the plan stage of your
own home, you need not go to your
architect entirely void of Ideas.

The Athenian Oath.
We of America love our cities as the
ancient Athenian loved Athens. It
would be well If we, too, would sub-
scribe to the oath whick he was glad to
take regarding that center of culture
and beauty:
“We will never bring disgrace to this
our city by any act of dishonesty or
cowardice, nor never desert our com-
rades; we will fight for the Ideals and
sacred things of the city, both alone
and with many: wre will revere and
obey tbe city's laws, and do our best
to Incite a like respect and reverence
hi those above ns who are prone to
annul and set them at oaoght; we win
strive aaremstngly to quicken the pub-
lic's sense of civic duty; that thus. In
