THE TURKEY.
The Turkey being the natural emblem of Thanksgiving Day we show a most beautiful bird of this species created from linens. We print herewith a cut of the framework, showing how to construct the foundation. The tail is made separate from the body and fastened on with screw hooks, so that it may be handled easily; 194 doilies were used in the covering. A good idea would be to place a sign on the turkey reading: “Good to eat off.”

CHRISTMAS DISPLAYS.
It has been estimated that the value of the merchandise disposed of during December is equal to that sold during the other eleven months of the year.
It is no wonder, then, that active preparations have been made for months in advance to take care of the holiday trade to the best advantage.
