When my wife made the sugges
tion that we s’ .id give a Thanksgiv
ing dinner to our friends in the neigh
borhood it almost put me to the ropes.
You know I'm not much on the so
rial gag. and to have to sit up and
make goodmatured faces at a iot of
strangers gives me intermittent pains
in the neck.
"Why should we give them a din
ner’ I asked my wife "Aren't n <st
of them getting good wages, and why
should we kill the fatted < alf for a
lot of home made prodigals?"
"John, don't be so selfish' ' was my
wife's get back. "There's a long win
ter ahead of us. and when we give
our dinner to seven people that means
seven people to give us seven dinners.
•■Ollie."
Don't you see how our little plates of
soup will draw compound interest if
we invite the right people?”
My wife is a friend of mine, so I
refused to quarrel with her.
“All right, my dear,” I said, ‘but
you must give the dinner one week
before Thanksgiving.”
"tine week before Thanksgiving!”
my wife reechoed. ' And why, pray?”
‘‘Because this will give our guests
s chance to recover from your cook
ing before the real day of prayer
comes around, and by that time they
will begin to think about you with
kindness, perhaps .”
My wife stur.g me with her cruel
eyes and went out in the kitchen,
where the new cook was breaking a
lot of our bi st dishes hicli did not
appeal to her.
The name of this new cook was
Ollie.
When Ollie came to the house to
get a job, my wife asked her for
her recommendations
Ollie said that her face was her
only rocomendation; but that she was
out late the night before and broke
her recommendation just above the
chin.
Anyway, my wife engaged her, be
cause what good is a healthy appe
tite wh*Ti the kitchen is empty?
Ollie said tlu.t she was a first-clasr
cook, but when w> dared her to prove
it she forgot my wife was a lady
and threw the ci al scuttle at he
A day or two after Ollie arrived 1
determined to find out what merit
there was in a vegi rarian diet.
"All right, 1 said to the cook, after
the last plate of hash with all its fond
memories had disappeared, "this house
Is going on a diet for a few days, and
henceforth we are all vegetarians, in

Ollie smiled and whispered that
