READY FOR THANKSGIVING.


AN OSTRICH PLUME.

Matty Ellis had a new hat. It was a pretty white hat with a long, curly white plume, and it was very becoming to her.

“Yes, I like it,” she said to aunt Sarah. “But Nanny Rich has a hat with two plumes.”

“And I can tell you somebody who wears half a dozen or more,” replied aunt Sarah, “and that somebody is the ostrich himself.”
