In a square, flat pan a half-inch layer of aspic is laid. On this slices
of goose liver are superimposed (after having been trimmed to the shape
of the supremes); the supremes are now put on top of the fat liver, and
then covered with half-melted chicken jelly.
When thoroughly cooled and ready to serve, a square piece is cut out of
the now solid jelly around the supremes. The supreme is thus served
incrusted in a square block of thick jelly; the dish is decorated with
greens.
Polly's Thanksgiving Party
By Ella Shannon Bowles
The idea for the party came to Polly one night as she was washing the
dinner dishes, and that very evening she waved away the boys' objection
that Thanksgiving was a family affair pure and simple.
"I'm not planning to have any one in for dinner," she said, "though
there's nothing that would suit me better, if the apartment boasted a
larger dining room. But there are three girls in my Sunday School class
that can't possibly go home this year, and I've no doubt you boys could
find somebody that won't be invited anywhere. Thanksgiving is such a

sent invitations to three girls and to two boys whom Rupert and Harry
suggested.
Polly searched the shops for a card of two-eyed white buttons of the
size of ten cent pieces. She carefully sewed a button on the upper part
of a correspondence card, added eyebrows, nose and mouth with India ink,
copied a body and cap from Palmer Cox's "Brownie Book," painted the
drawing brown, and behold, a saucy brownie grinned at her from the
invitation. Underneath the picture, she carefully printed a jingle.
"This Thanksgiving Brownie brings a message so gay,
To visit our house on Thanksgiving Day,
To help celebrate with all kinds of good cheer
The 'feast of the harvest' at the end of the year."
The boys took a walk into the country on Thanksgiving morning and came
laden with sprays of high-bush cranberries. These, with the bunches of
chrysanthemums which they bought, and Polly's fern and palm, gave the
small living room a festive appearance.
Assisted by her brothers, Polly served the dinner early. After clearing
the dining room table, she placed a pump
