THE MODERN HOSTESS James Cagney loves the old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. Here's how to make your menfolk feel the same IF, when you think of movie gangsters you think of James Cagney, you may find it just a bit hard to visualize him placidly acting as host at a Thanksgiving feast. You no doubt find it far easier to picture him smiling cynically over a restaurant steak than to think of him lovingly and skilfully carving the festive bird. ■ . . ,.

The versatile Cagney countenance became almost beatific as he described his ideal Thanksgiving "Just because I play gangster roles," he said, "I suppose it's all wrong for me to appreciate a good dinner at home. But I refuse to live up to my tough roles in that respect. A genial and witty young man, we found him. Irish as it is possible for anyone to be, and very much the homeloving husband.

According to Jimmy, the way to celebrate Thanksgiving properly is by eating plenty of turkey— with cranberry sauce, white and sweet potatoes, and plenty of other vegetables and fixin's. quence in which they would appear on the table. Here, then is the properly arranged menu, composed of those foods which Jimmy has loved, man and boy, and which will make as big a hit with your menfolk as they do with him— and we feel sure that you believe with us that on Thanksgiving day, as on all days, we aim to please the men !
