"Courting-s ticks"-A Queer New
England Custom of the Long

In early New ENGLAND days, as far
back as the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury, when hospitality was a practice as
we'll as a virtue, there vas in most
houses only one large assembly room,
and there the family and all the guests
and chance callers gathered on winter
nights about the blazing fire of logs.
We know that youth was youth and
love was love, and young men were
timid and maidens were shy, and court.
ship went on in those days. How was
courtship possible in this common room,
where every word was heard and every
look taken notice of? We read III the
admirable volume on the recent cen
tennial of Long Meadow, Mass, by
Prof. Richard S. Stars OF that town,
in the winter evenings for the conven-
fence of young lovers, since there was
no next room," courting-sticks were
used; that is, long wooden tubes that
could convey from lip to ear sweet and
secret whispers. Was this an invention
peculiar to Long Meadow?
1t is a charming picture that this
calls up, of life in a puritan household,
this tubular love-making, the pref

chair, and the staid but blushing
lover in another, handling the court

complacence, if not of true love. Would
the young man dare to say, II love

feel encouraged by the laughing, tender
eyes of the girl when she replied
through the same passage, "Do tell"
Did they have two sticks, so that the
end of one could be at the ear and the
end of the other at the mouth all the
while? How convenient. when the
young man got more ardent than was
seemly, as the flip went round, for the
girl to put her thumb over the end OF
the tube, and stop the flow of SOUL Did
