THE END SEAT IN THE PEW.
II Is the Place Occupied by the Protector
of the Family.

II IL the Place Occupied by the Protector
Of the Family.
lit is common enough" said MI.
Gratebar, ito see a man sitting in the
aisle end Of a pew in church get up on
the arrival Of some other member of the
family, step out into the aisle to let the
late conner in, and then resume his seat
at the end of the pew. 1t seems to me
that I have read that this custom origi-
mated in New England in the early
days, when the men all sat by the aisle
SO that they could seize their guns and
get out promptly in case of attack by
Indians. W. don't have much to fear
from Indians nowadays, but the seat by
the aisle is still occupied by the head of
the family. He stands in the aisle while
the others pass in, and then calmly
takes his place in the end seat, at the
head Of the line, as a sort of general
protector.
Sometimes in these days, we are SO
very free from Indians now, the head Of
the family thinks it is safe for him te
stay at home when he has q headache.
and then the young son takes his place.
I imagine that he talks it over with his
mother OIL the way to church, so that it
is all understood. When they get to the
pew, he stands in the aisle while his sis
ters and his mother pass in. I fancy that
his sisters are rather glad when they are
all seated and NJ longer conspicuous,
but upon his mothers face as she brushes
past him into the pew there is a smile
Of affectionate pride, and then he takes
his seat in his fathers place and sits
there with fine boyish dignity. New
