School children, and teachers too, went home Wednesday as soon as schools were closed for the holiday. Instead of going "over the river and through the wood, to grandmother's house we go," by horse and sleigh, as in the poem and in the old days, many of the youngsters went by automobile or tram, and grandmother was as likely to be found at the end of an elevator ride in some apartment house, as in the country.

Nor was there any snow to stamp off of young feet on Thanksgiving morning, before stepping in on grandmother's carpets and rugs. But it was a big family holiday just the same, with food a-plenty for everyone.
