THE TALE OF A THANKSGIVING DINNER, 
Pkess me closer, all my own. 
Warms my heart for thee alone. 
Every nerve responsive thrills, 
Each caress my being tills; 
Rent and peace in vain I crave, 
In eestaey I live, lliy slave; 
Dower’d with nope, with promise blest,

Closer still, for 1 am tlilue; 
Horns my heart, for thou art mine; 
Thou the message, 1 the wire, 
l the furnace, thou the tire; 
I the servant, thou the master— 
Roaring, red-hot mustard-plaster.

Young Hostess: “I must show you my
