I Lrtan end Rurcl Palace and Cotta# Are One About the Smwy Turley and the Luscious Pump kin Re. THE day on which we express our gratitude not by fasting, but by feasting, and when our I Incense ascends not from an altar, but from a savory platter of steaming turkey, is observed in the great cities much as it Is In the coun try. Thanksgiving is so thoroughly an American holiday that It wipes out such artificial Hues as those dividing urban from rural and makes all of Uncle Saw's large and growing family one people. What are outward circum stances, the presence < r absence of a few bouses or a few dollars, more or less, before a universal sentiment that fills a nation? The ix»rd has been very good to us as the months meas ured the year, we say, and we appoint a festival of joy and good cheer to ex press our gladness. It Is most fitting, most characteristic of our land, most in keeping with the constructive aud optimistic spirit of our people. This is true ou Fifth avenue and Just as true ou the farms of the west and soutj). trim at the Waldorf-Astoria and at the workingman's table. Ordinarily we place too much emphasis on the indi vidual differences and not enough on the social unity of our life. But on Thanksgiving the fundamental simi larity becomes apparent --we arc all human and all American, the walls of castle and cottage melt away, and we become of one genus, one mind and one heart. On the farm the children gather from near and far, and there Is an old fash ioned family reunion. Bill and his wife come from the neighboring coun ty and Bob from the distant town. The old father and mother grow young again as the prattle of grandchildren in the bouse takes them back to the days when this same Bob and Bill were frowzy headed and dirty faced boys. The turkey is home grown and home cooked, aud therefore has any bird reared and roasted by we know not whom looking alien and unappe tizing. The pumpkins that make up the thick and meaty pies are from the corn lot back of the barn. Everything on the well filled table except the cran berries, coffee and a few dry groceries is the combination of our own sec tion of American dirt. That makes everything worth while. Somebody MI . J OSCAR CARVING A THANKSGIVING TURKEY, ought to write an adequate poem about Thanksgiving ou the farm, but still it is hardly necessary, for Thanksgiving on the farm is a poem in Itself. It is a far cry from our quiet coun tryside to the Waldorf-Astoria and yet not so far ou Thanksgiving as at other times, for at the Waldorf folks eat turkey and pumpkin pies Just as they do at home and it is dollars to dough nuts do not enjoy them one whit more. Oscar, tlie major dorno about the big hotel, is famous for his pumpkin pie recipes, and what be does not know about buying, cooking and carving the royal Thanksgiving bird is not worth mentioning. Here is Oscar’s recipe for cooking* turkey in a little different way from the usual method: “Turkey, bourgeoise style, is an ex cellent dish and a good substitute for roast turkey if one is tired of that fashion of cooking the bird. The tur key is singed, drawn and trussed as for roasting, hut is not stuffed. Roast in a hot oven, basting well with but ter until nicely browned. Put a few slices of veal in the bottom of a deep stewpan, put in the turkey and cover with slices of bacon. Moisten to its height with stock or broth. Then put in a bunch of sweet herbs and season to taste with pepper and salt. Let it simmer beside the fire. When cooked take out the turkey and place it In a hot dish. Skim the fat off the cooking liquor and strain through a fine hair sieve over the bird and serve.’’ There is a chance for everybody to have a Waldorf turkey at his own home, it sounds good enough to make even a pessimist thankful.
