When Two First Ladies Meet: What Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, first lady of the land, and Mrs. Alexander G. Ruthven, first lady of the University, had to say to each other while chatting together when the above photograph was taken was not reported but their expressions indicate that with womanly proclivity for "breaking the ice" they were absorbed in an animated discussion amusing to both. Mrs. Roosevelt is the guest of the Ruthvens while in Ann Arbor today to deliver a lecture.

YOUNG AMERICA HELPS TO SHOW THANKSGIVING TRADITION: Thanksgiving, more than any other holiday it seems, brings together the family traditionally in preparing for the day as well as in its festivity. This was impressed upon the University students from other countries who attended the lecture demonstration given by Mrs. Dean W. Myers last night in a series of talks on American customs sponsored by the International Center. Beside the Thanksgiving dinner table show above, set up in the Michigan League for the group, Martha Peet (at the left), daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Max M. Peet of Hill St., was telling about the table decoration shown, which she had made of fruits and vegetables. Estafania J. Aldaba of Malolos, Bulacan, P. I., and Thelma G. Brown of Jellico, Tenn. (at the right), who were chatting with her, are graduate students in the University who are attending the lecture series.
