Nay Tort Oka ANGELO PATRI'S Daily Talk Children" Thanksgiving; RENDERING thanks to the Source of all Good is an ancient rite.

From the early days men have felt within them a strong desire to give thanks for th-3 intangible beauty of everyday living. The glory of the dawn, the sweet calmness of it, its color and music, its cool refreshing smells fill the spirit to overflowing. The warmth of the noonday sun, the high pale sky and the white light beating down on the laborers at rest bring a sturdy faith in the fullness of life, a sence of security in its purpose. the flowers so exquisitely formed, so The beauty of growing things, divinely colored, the little creatures blithe and borny, the promise of seedtime and blossom time and harvest, hat sweet delight dwells In them all. Beyond words is the keen full of Joy, when it is overburdened of a friendly hand.

1 Who can express the feeling that looks on th children gathered about Joy and mothers tmlle in benediotion upon the younger ones? Who can put words to the affectionate longing that lrgmia ane -NOT EVERY DIAMOND MEANS AX THE SHV VIOLET NEEDS A DOSE OF CONCEIT SARAH: Frankly, I think you ought to have understood Mr. Xi intentions a bit more clearly before you accepted a diamond ring. Even in these advanced times, glrU don't usually re-etve valu- ilile gifts from nappy young fel-ers who don't seem know the of the word marriage." As it Is you're In he rather embarrassing position of mvlng accepted tx-e naive presents roin a man who uvlously doeHn't vant to be more han a friend. You wonder whether there's any tender virotni Van significance attached to these presents. 1 shouldn't think there was.

Ordinarily the average young chap who walks Into a big Jewelry store and selects some lovely trinket tor the lady of his heart, figures that he's practically announcing his Intentions when he presents his offering. He knows well enough that the girl friend and the girl friend's mother aren likely to view such an expen sive gift with favor, If it's unaccompanied by some sort of declaration. The man who lightly offers you i ring which would do nicely as symbol ot oetrotnal anil who says nary a word about wedding bells Indicates that he's rather accustomed to spending a lot of money on his little gilts to fair ladies. He lndl cates that he's got over the old sutler stillon that a diamond means honor able intentions. It means that he has a great deal of spare cash and doesn't mind if he sjiends a lot of It on a nice girl who la always glad to see him when hs cornea to town.

Your cue if you really wanted to find out how deeply he felt was to protest against the extravagance of his presentation. You could have said quite easily: "Oh, but I cant accept such a present. After all, we're just friends" which would Immediately call his bluff, one way or the other. Then he would either ante right up tell you where he stood, or he would fade away with a quiet apology. Kliher way you'd be put out of the misery of suspense.

You can still make this speech although It won't be nearly eo effective as it might have been when the shower of gifts first began. You can put a stop to the offering by announc ing that he's really been too generous and that, as his very good friend, you must protest against his continued extravagance. Say it any way you like, only impress it on his mind that you have decided not to accept so many valu able gifts from a mere friend. Then its up to him. He will either seize the occasion to protest that he Is more than a friend or hall take the hint and retire from the scene.

The type of man you describe is to be found In every big city a good sport, a big spender, an easy prorn- iser, a Jolly companion ami a nut matrimonial tire. If your heart is set on marriage, don't waste too much time on this elusive specimen. Give him his chance to speak his piece, and if he proves tonguv-tled, don't waste your lite hoping.

Bert Guernsey, These raro gifts are pot of our bestowing. Nor of our getting. From somewhere they come without money and without price. Though we tak' them for granted, though we look upon them with unseeing eyes, listen with unheeding ears, they remain to brighten our days. It would Indeed Imj a soul insensible that could live throughout the year without once knowing the desire to rise above Itself and touch the glory that is beyond.

There is no greater gift than this beauty of earth and eea and sky. There can be no greater magic than that which lies In the sprouting seed. Harvest is a miracle of realization. Wind and weather are the poetry of nature's tale. And who can bestow upon you the gift of thought? Who can you pa? for the unspeakable gift of love? From whom can you demand loyalty tnd affection and trust? These are the fiee gift from a power beyond our understanding, w'e can only( receive and rejoice.

Our first Thanksgiving Day was set in stern situation. Material things were scant and poor. Physical comforts there were none. But the beauty of the world, the goodness of God, shone round about, In the silence the autumn glory of the hills became a shout of praise. Neighbor touched neighbor in close communion and the loneliness of the savage wilderness was lifted In psalms of thanksgiving.

Old ttays are pleasant ways, and good. It is wise and right that, the most favored of all the peoples of the earth, set apart thla day to give thanks for tlw gifts bestowed upon us; for all the good, for all the beauty and glory of tvery day.

Some 23 centuries ago, Hippocrates said, "Nature is the cure of disease." He pointed out the fact that diet is better than drugs and prevention better than cure.

Today the prevention of disease is one of the most vital of all Issues. It is time we more keenly realized the Importance of right liv ing and the art of keeping well. Civilization has brought with It many, many ills. These are ills which nature never intended should exist. Sir W.

Arbuthnot Lane, famous connsulting surgeon at Guy's hospital. London, has said: "Approximately 90 per cent of our physical defects, disorders and diseases would appear to be preventible and are due in the main to faulty nutrition, lack of fresh air and exercise, stagnation of decomposing intestinal contents and other simple matters which can easily be corrected." Primitive races, though living un-hygienically and unscientifically, usually have excellent teeth, strong and straight bones, roomy Jaws, throats and noses. They are free from dental decay, catarrh, tonsilitis, Indigestion and so many ills which affect mankind today. But primitive man lives near to Nature. He exercises freely, lives in the fresh air and sunshine, and eats of Nature's foods.

Most important of all things is that people should live more natural lives. They should get back to eating the more hardy foods. They should seek to maintain the normal condition of body and mind. Most of our diseases are caused by faulty living. The only way to have good health is by taking the right diet, getting the proper amount of rest and sleep, and absorbing plenty of sunshine and fresh air.

The ancients recognized the value of sunlight. Everybody knows about their worship of the sun-god. We should pay more attention to sun shine. Ultra-violet rays are better understood now and we appreciate that they are essential to the physi cal welfare of the race. Tuberculosis Is a disease of faulty living.

Innumerable drugs and serums have been used In fighting It But It is cured not by these methods, but by changing the method of living. The remedy lies in the right kind of food, sunlight and fresh air with proper exercise and rest. The body has great reserve power to. counteract the work of germs, which are present everywhere. Here Nature has provided for us.

We should do everything to build up the hody tissues to a healthy state, no that we shall be in condition to withstand the wily bacteria. A noted physician has said, "For the body to keep healthy It Is of course necessary that all the organs and tissues should be In a fairly normal condition. There are various vital properties which make the healthy organism. One of these Is the strong natural Immunity ot the body to Infection." This comes from right living.

Gray cloth upholstery and gray silk curtains, edged with blue beads. The beads a frivolous touch In this chariot of the sky. In the glass-enclosed cabin they were comfortably protected from the furious wind that knifed the goggled, ear-capped pilot and his aide. The Hungarian was now studying a map. locating the villages.

From so great a height they all looked the same. A cluster of red-roofed. toy houses with a steepled church and a white-dotted graveyard. Those cemeteries rarely visible fn.m train or boat yet from a plane, the conspicuous note of every town. Seven villages could now be seen along the valley.

And In each that ominous white-dotted plot. Those crawling atoms how futile seemed their lives! A few trouble! ears that led only to another dot in their churchyard. The futility of all life! The trivi ality of all worries. How fleeting how Inconsequential! i hesft nights should give one a broader vision. As Rlways, under any mental stimulus.

Helen was spurred to emotional resolutions. She would not worry over little things. All that really mattered was character. She would strive to be less petty, less narrow, more generous. Vv'hat was that she had read the other' day? "What we gave, we have.

What we spent, we had. What we saved, we never had." That antique broach bought in Budapest. She had so much these trips abroad with Warren. She would give that to her Cousin Martha, who had so little. A sudden mist obliterated sky and earth.

They had plunged Into a cloud! Were they going slower? Or was the dense vapor muffling the engine's roar? How could the pilot steer In this blinding fog? Nothing to guide him! With trembling hands, the ItiiCUn opened a bag at his feet. A glimpse of tortoise-shell fittings, as he took out a sustaining flask. As suddenly as they had plunged into the clouds, they now emerged shove them. Again the blue sky! Again the sunlight sparkled on the varnished wings, with their cryptic letters AC But now they were In another world above the clouds! A strange white world, like vision of the polar region. The vast cloud-ocean below might be a snow- covered Inndscape.

"Look down there!" Warren shouted back. "Great sight!" Then she saw it that weird phe nomenal Below, on the white cloud-ocean. a dark phantom plane! Their shad ow! An uncanny npparltlon chasing after them. Skipping along the loamy clouds. Then, to enhance the magic of this etheric world, their pursuing shadow was encircled by a rainbow A complete Iris, lying flat below them on the white-frothed sea! A glorious-hued ring around their imp- isn spectre.

Instead of casting a despairing eye upon her and muttering to yourself: "Oh, what's the use? I'm just a worm compared to her. Nobody would ever look at me. I can't even think of anything to say to her.

She'd Just think I was a dumbbell." You must realize that she's only another human being who has a lot of faults, lot of sensitive points, a lot of flaws in her armor.

The door unlocked. Warren scrambled out and swung Helen to the platform. The irate Italian started to berate the pilot, who only laughed and shrugged. "Bawlin' him out for that loop-the-loop stunt." grinned Warren. "Dear, he was nervous all the way I felt sorry for him," shaking out her traveling coat.

Never wind if you don't make an Impression. The gorgeous lady Is not the only worth while person in the world and all your failures and embarrassments with her, will teach you how to avoid pitfalls and dangerous with the next celebrity you meet. Keep right on practicing your self- possession. Keep right on being sure of yourself. Study what virtues you have and make the most of them.

Don't keep holding them up in com parison with the shining virtues of more attractive Individuals. Appre ciate yourself. Don't go about, admir ing other people all the time. Why, If you could see the number of attractive girls who simply bury themselves under a mountain of self- consciousness, you'd be absolutely shocked. Oliva, for instance, has a charming face, and as perfect a speaking voice as I have ever heard in my life.

But who in the world notices these attractions? No one outside Ollva's family circle where she is perfectly normal and easy and self-possessed. The rest of the world thinks of her as that quiet little Johnson kid who is always sitting in a corner smiling rather foolishly, when spoken to. And it's all because Oliva has an Idea in the back of her head that Dolly James Is the one real big star in the universe. Dorothy has a husky drawl, an iron nerve, a way of wearing clothes and the self-possession of a grand duchess. Dolly has long since convinced herself that she's Just about one hun dred per cent all right.

Wrhen she meets a perfect beauty who rather outshines her, does Dolly hang her head and seek a corner In which to wilt quietly away? She does not. She tells herself triumphantly that the perfect beauty is rather slow on the uptake that she lacks pep. and that she needs a good dressmaker. Dolly bolsters up her own self-confidence and nobody ever has cause to feel sorry for her. She's able to take care of herself.

Oliva will let her own charming voice go to waste because it hasn't the husky quality of Dolly's. She will gaze with disgust at -her own reflection in the glass, because it hasn't the audacity of her Idol. She will compare herself unceasingly to the outrageous Dolly sand she will never realize what a perfectly good face she's been neglecting- what a perfectly good personality, she's allowed to go to waste. You, my dear Stella, are not much more sensible than little Oliva. Y'ou're convinced that there Is a certain kind of girl in the world who Is Just made to be a popular favorite and that because you don't look like her, or act like her, or talk like her, you're going to amount to a row of pins.

Consequently you Just give up the battle. You hide yourself away, where no one can find out what kind of personality you have. You tremble was confusion, stutter with nervousness and set yourself up as an eternal wall-flower, because you have no confidence in yourself. Feed yourself compliments. Get used to picking out your own good points, instead of concentrating all your attention on the shining virtues of the other girls whom you don't resemble in the least Give yourself an even break and you'll And your terrible self-consciousness leaving you In direct proportion to the amount of appreciation you give yourself.

"Oh, not any more!" shrilled Helen, when he prepared for the third exposure. "I want some of the plane with me standing by it;" "Going to nail that shadow! Never get another chance at a sight like that." But the next second aguin in the enveloping vapor! Were they sinking through the cloud-sea or was it lashing up to submerge them? Soon they could see the earth. How strange after that celestial world! On and on they flew, following the rrver far below. At times across great wooded bends and peninsulas, cutting off miles of the Danube's winding course. The Hungarian was now calling attention to a miniature boat in the river.

"Boat for Vienna." explained Warren, handing back the camera. "Left Budapest last n.ght doesn't get in till We'll light there in 441 min utes." The midget boat seemed barely to move in the gray-green stream. That sun-glinted thread along the bank a railway! A creeping toy train. Only 40 minutes now! Helen wished It were hours. Charioting through the sky! Life offered nothing more exhilarating.

But her enthusiasm was not shared by the Italian beside her. Anxious glances at his watch betrayed eagerness to land. Was It fear or dizziness? Groat heights always made her dizzy but not these air trips. Perhaps because they were detached from the earth. Not peering down from a building.

"See that smoke?" Warren sighted a smudge on the horizon. "Must be Vienna." And then without warning, without even a preparatory Jolt came a swift, terrifying dive. Downward, straight down! A sickening drop! Helen's scream was lost in the roa r. Then a steadying lurch! Her held-breath relaxed, as they again shot upward. What did It mean? Something wrong with the engine? Now, as they sped smoothly along, the wind-reddened pilot turned to grin back at them waving at something ahead.

Another plane flying by! Suddenly It dropped. A sheer dip then up again! So the aerial gymnastics had been merely passing greeting! The planes signaling each other. A loop-the-loop salutation! The nerve-shattered Italian row-fairly spluttered. leaning forward, he shouted his indignation to the Hungarian In front. Nearing Vienna! Cathedral spires now pierced the smoke-screened horizon.

They were flying lower. The landscape heaving upward! Was that the dock ahead? Much swifter this descent than their circling landing at Budapest. Was It easier to alight on the water? Their second air trip! 1 Without a tremor of apprehension, Helen settled back for their return flight. In thrilled anticipation of another two hours above the clouds, she watched the plane skim along the Danube, gathering speed for the ascent. Saturday they had aeroplaned over from Vienna.

Three enchanted days in Budapest and now hydroplaning back! Like a great sea-gull the winged craft swept along the river towards the brldifes gray spectral arches in this early-morning mist. Were they to fly over them? Or not take to the air until well beyond? The pilot was now signaling, over his shoulder. The cue for them tot lean forward to make easier the; uscent. That was why Warren and the stout Hungarian had been seated in front. A Jolt, a lurch! A deafening roar of the engine as they rose from the water.

His crouching posture and evident alarm protesqued the dignity of his pince-nez and pointed beard. But Just as a crash seemed Inevitable, the plane shot upward clearing the bridge. The needed elevation now attained, they all four sank back Into their seats, the Italian mopping his forehead with a lavender handkerchief. "Dear, wasn't that awfully close?" she shouted into Warren's ear, "Looked so," he, shrugged, "But Riiess this Johnnie knows his Job."
