day and the most significant thing about this is that their
thankfulness dates back to last January when

ried couple, one
lonesome homesick
American. Must be
alone in London and
desirous of eating
Thanksgiving tvrkey
with couple from
home. Address will
be found at window
D."
Helen Graham turned after putting
up her small sign on the wall of an
American rendezvous in London and
spoke to the man behind window D.
"Now, Mr. Gray, you will be sure to
send some very nloe Americans to me,
won't you? I am trusting entirely to
your selection." The ever ready
smile of the American came to her
lips and eyes.
"Just fancy any Yankee's being
otherwise." laughed tho Englishman.
"But I wll! confine my choice to two
whom I think worthy of your hospi-
tality."
"I'll bet you put Gray up to sending
a man and a woman," chided Bob
Graham as he assisted his wife up the
wobbling stairs of a Kensington 'bus.
In the meantime Margery Bonner
walked leisurely along the Haymarket
toward the rendezvous. Her erect
back and trim, artistic costume pro-
claimed her an American girl.
And Hugh Gray, the man behind
window D, was waiting for Margery
Bonner. He had selected her as one
of the guests for Mrs. Graham's
Thanksgi ing dinner. She had been
calling for her mall only during the
last three weks, but Gray had discov-
ered her charm the very first time her
big blue eyes seemed to coax hlra for
letters.
He looked up when she stood be-
fore him.
"I want several letters this morn-
ing," she Informed him, her lips part-
ing over a row of perfect teeth.
"Seven letters, Miss Bonner," he
said, giving them to her eager hands.
"Thank you. When I read these I'm
going to ask you about this," she said
pointing to Mrs. Graham's Invitation.
Robert Dexter swung In from the
street, his broad shoulders swaying
under an American rain-coat and his
American eyes seeing everything with-
in range. They lighted at sight of
Margery Bonner.
And while her eyes were lowered
over her letters, Margery Bonner's
heart gave a little Jump when some-
body big and broad passed her on his
way to window D. She had covertly
admired his clear cut lines and the
honest look In his eye*.
The girl approached window D
again. "Tell me," she aaked, "if you
know anything about the person
who put this notice here?"
The Englishman smiled his approv-
al of her directness.
"A very charming little woman," he
•aid quickly. "A Mrs. Graham. She
and her husband are strangers in Lon
don and are simply longing for a
friend on whom to lavish a generous
Impulse."
"Where do they live?" Misa Bonner
had made up her mind. She was heart-
sick and dreading the coming Thanku
giving away from all her people. She
reflected that no harm could posslbly
come of so discreet an offer.
The address she got was near her
own boarding house In Kensington.
Robert Dexter watched her leave
the office and step Into a cab and whirl
away.
In his turn he addressed the clerk.
Dexter was embarrassed, he was un-
decided as to how to preface his query.
The clerk saw his predicament. He
smiled his knowledge of Dexter's de-
sire. In the American there suddenly
was born a great liking for all En-
glishmen.
"She Is a Miss Bonner." Gray said
without waiting for the question.
When Dexter left the American
rendezvous, he had Mr*. Graham's ad-
dress In his pocket and Gray took
down a certain notice which ended his
part in the planning of a Thanksgiv-
ing dinner.
• •••*
On the last Thursday In November
a taxlcab whirled to the curb of a
beautiful little home on St. Mary's
road. Margery Bonner stepped out In
the daintiest of gray chiffon toilettes.
She carried a huge bunch of roses sus-
piciously like American beauties and a
■Ball square package.
"I received ycur note. Miss Bonner."
Said Mrs Graham as she led the way
upstairs and into her own boudoir. In
her heart she thanked Mr. Gray for
his excellent choice. "And we are i,o-
ing to be even more unconventional
and use first names," she went on
quickly in order to hide any sense of
strain. "I don't want Mr. Dexter, a
friend of my husband, to know—"
"You are a dear—to think of that,"
burst out Margery, "and I am glad I
brought you some roses." She thrust
the huge bouquet into the arms of her
hostess.
"How sweet. Margery," said Helen,
shyly.
"Don't mention it—"
"Helen." put in Mrs. Graham.
"Helen," finished Margery and be-
cause they were both happy a duet of
laughter reached the two men who
were already smoking the pipe of
friendship.
"You must say 'hello Jack' as soon
as we get to the drawing-room," |
prompted llelen as the two descended
the stairs.
"Hello, Jack." cried Margery when
two equally good-looking men rose t
their entrance.
Jack Graham did not lose a second.
"Hello, MarJ." he threw back at her,
"you put on my favorite gown, didn't
you? Come here and meet Robert
Dexter. Miss Bonner—Mr. Dexter."
They shook hands and Margery's
eyes hid themselves lest he read her
surprise and—yes, delight—at meeting
him.
"Tell me," cried Margery excitedly,
"have we time to do something aw-
fully American, before dinner?" Be-
fore anyone had answered, she wns
away and back again with the pack-
age she had brought with her. She
extended it to Helen.
"Oh, you dear!" There were tears
in Helen's voice as she hugged two
boxes of shelled popcorn to her b east
"I haven't seen any of this for six
months." She turned swiftly to the
bell and the maid appeared presently
with some long handled corn poppers.
There was a choky sensation In the
throats of all four when these little
Implements of American life appeared, ;
and they had the effect of breaking
the last barrier of convention existing
among the new made friend*.
"The sport is rustic," cried Helen,
falling on her knees before the fire,
"but I love it!"
"And these fires are ideal, for pop-
ping." exclaimed her husband gazing
at tho bed of red coals. He went
"The 8port Is Rustic."
down on his knees before her. "Come
on, MarJ, get your popper! Here, Dex-
ter, fill this popper for Miss Bonner."
Bob Dexter looked at the trio of
happy faces in the glow of the fire;
the yellow corn was puffing Into fluffy
balls and the fragrance of fresh-
roasted corn permeated the room. The
picture stamped Itself Indelibly on
Dexter's mind, especially the profile of
the girl beside him. Her delicate face
was clear cut like a cameo among the
shadows. She glanced around and
met the unguarded look In his eyes
and a flush' not caused by the fire
mounted her cheeks. By way of cov-
ering his embarrassment she handed
him her popper.
"Here," she said, "you are doing
nothing—pop awhile."
He took the long handle, touching
her hand In the transfer.
So Intent was tho quartette and so
far had the memories escaped into the
home land that they did not hear the
soft voice of the maid when she an-
nounced dinner.
To at least two In the party, there
had never been a Thanksgiving din-
ner more complete. Cupiu stole tho
wings of the turkey and flapped Joy-
ously about the interchanged two
hearts In his glee.
