By Libby Demp Forrest COMING UP — Halloween tonight followed by a new month tomorrow. November brings election day. Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving. One thing about Thanksgiving, unlike other holidays, it's always the same day of the week no matter what. Fourth Thursday in November and that's that. • • » There's plenty to do in November — check to see tha t the corners of the house are tight against the arrows of sleet and . rain that are sure to come, garden has to be raked up and left in good shape for spring, and then there's the preparations for holidays ahead. Family plans get underway — who's coming from where to where to get to whose house for the family together on Thanksgiving. All in all, November is a pretty good month in our book. How about yours? * » » The bright leaves and colorful foliage will soon be gone, leaving our landscape brown and barren. There'll be patches of Indian summer to play tricks on the mind, but there's no getting away from it — November is the prelude to winter. Hearty dining is a welcome occasion during November's busy days. Here's our suggestions of places where we especially like to go out to eat: GOLD WHALE. The Marquis de Lafayette Inn on the Beach, between Ocean and Decatur St., Cape May, features Beat-the-Clock specials every days of the week, offering an unbelievable bargain-priced full course dinner for just $4.25 per person. Everything is included — everything from soup or salad bar, entree, 2 vegetables, beverage and dessert. In this day and age, this extravagant meal for a bargain price has become the talk of the town. The chef uses only the best ingredients - so your meal tastes as delicious as a more expensive dinner. Of course, the Gold Whale has many fine choices. The setting is delightful — the help has nice as they can be. » • • ALEXANDER'S. The grandeur of years past continues at the highly rated Alexander's Inn and Hestaubant. located at 653 Washington Street, Cape May, which also offers its guests overnight accomodations. The elegant setting is of the days of the Victorian period when all the stops got pulled out during the dining hours. One dines leisurely at Alexander's, seemingly away from the hustle-bustle of the present. The food is superb served in the grand manner from 6 p.m. daily. The

A few years ago, we discovered Capt'N Ahab's on Rt. 47, Rio Grande during a chilly autumn evening. | It turned out to be such a delightful, tranquil place, we've gone back more times than we can count, drawn by the comfor- | table atmosphere and delicious food. Frank and Jane Bonner, persevere to serve only the finest foods, complemented by their attention to every I detail. Even tho Rt. 47 is a well-traveled highway, once you step inside Capt'N Ahab's you feel like you're in a country setting, quiet and attractively decorated.
