The household environment of
those early Boston martyrs who had
come 1900 miles into the savage will

as rude and as simple as their bill OF
fare.
Household furniture there was
practically none. save table of rough
boards or planks, and enough three
legged stools to accommodate the
members of the family There were
tablecloths of very coarse linen, but
neither table knives nor forks, the
fingers and spoons Of either wood or
iron meeting all the requirements OF
the then prevailing table etiquette;
china was unknown, and as tea and
coffee had never been heard of. lne
cream pitcher and the sugar bowl
were not needed. Trenchers. useo .or

have been the bill of fare of the Az
erage Boston family on that day, one
family, at least. must have enjoyed
bountiful and variegated dinner. for
the country people who poured into
Boston on the arrivtl.s6s ihAs ahiA,sa-
few days before Thanksgiving, over
whelmed the governor and his wife
with gifts of fat hogs. kids. poultry,
venison and other kinds OF game.
During the succeeding fifty years
there appear to hafe been Thanksgiv-
ings averaging about once in two
years. and appoiIited to mark some
specific and rem arkable event, as .
victory in the Ind dian wars, or O hap
py solution OF some troublesome prob
lem, either religious or political. Dur
ing all those years. and for many AZ
terward. fast Gays were even more
numerous thar Thanksgivings, be-
cause the trials OF the Puritans far
exceeded their blessings.
In some insfances there were SER
ious differences between the general
court. which then appointed Thanks
givings, the magistrates and the min
isters-for the latter always advised
in the matter-as to which was prop
er for the occasion, thanksgiving or
a fast. 1t As to be noted that the
custom of appointing Thanksgiving
simply as ain annual custom, and with
out regard to any specific or impor-
tant occasion was almost unknown
until well into the last century and
was never habitual till within the last
thirty years.
Indeed, the theory was advanced
more than 200 years ago that too
frequent observance Of Thanksgiving.
and for insufficient cause. tended to-
make men too carnal-minded."
A printed proclamation of that
Thanksgiving. the earliest broadside
of its kind known to be in existence
now, Is in the. library of the Massa-
chusetts. historical society. and a re-
duced facsimile is given with this ar
ticle.
The general tone OF the compo-
sition reminds one of another Thanks
giving, some years later, which was
observed only in Boston, for the pur-
pose of thanking heaven for sparing
Boston, while Charlestown. across the
river, was threatened with depopula-
tion by the yellow fever.

Plymouth, which was not yet united
to the Massachusetts colony, had its
Thanksgiving that year Aug. IT. five
days after the killing OF King Philip
in Rhode Island, and 1t so happened
that Major Church and his little band
of heroes arrived in Plymouth Just at
the close of the Thanksgiving fore
noon service. bringing the great
chiefs head, which was borne by the
majors Indian guide, who had him

until he has undergone probation at
one of the labor cepters in London.
If he shows himself willing at some
such humble task as rag-sorting, ald
gives signs of real desire to redeem
his life, he is sent down to Hadleieh.
and placed on the lowest rung of the
social ladder there. For the essence
of the plan is increase of comfort with
increase of efficiency and good con-
duct. His pay is his food and lodg-
ing, with twelve cents a week for to-
bacco. Alcohol is forbidden, and,
though there are three saloons within
easy reach, the rule is seldom broken.
Food is wholesome. though eaten
roughly off bare table. In the dor
mitory there are seaweed mattresses
and blankets.
With the first rise the conscien-
tious colonist eats better dinner
off table linen and sleeps between
sheets. In one of these better dormi-
tories found the bed of an ex-in-
spector of police: he had gracefully
draped the adjacent window with a
bit of muslin, and over the bed he had
rigged up bracket, a cheap clock,
and an oleograph of the Light of the
World" One feels that the fallen in
spector is finding his way out of the
pit. At this point, too, the colonist
pays out of his wages 50 week for
his food. and sixty cents for his lodg-
ing and washing. The wages are cal
culated on the scale prevalent in the
district, and I noticed from the books
that one man had made $3.50 extra in
a week. A third of this he is required
to bank with the Home Office, while
he must refund the cost of any clothes
or necessaries advanced to him.
So by stages the mans comfort
grows with his merits, until he sleeps
in small dormitory with two others.

Change Wrought by American Cir

"England's army of younger sons
should be grateful to the American
heiress," says an English writer
There was time in the near past
when even a moderately good-looking
girl in London society treated all
bachelors but elder sons with ill-con-
cealed contempt. For her there was,
apparently, no choice between the
titled or rich and spinsterhood. Since
the American heiress-that newly ac-
climatized matrimonial hawk-has
come to England to stay, the ordinary
society girl has become much more
reasonable. There was time when
the latter would not accept the offer
of any man connected with finance or
trade. however, promising his pros
poets, but now most of our unmarried
women will pursue that inferior game
as eagerly as if 1t were coroneted."

From the beginning, with but few
exceptions. Thanksgivings have been
kept in the late autumn, owing to the
harvest time, of course, and more fire.
quently toward the end of November.
No one knows how the custom of
appointing Thursday originated, but
some light is doubtless thrown on the
subject by controversy over a pro-
posal to change the day of the week,
about 1890, when the dissenters ar
gued that Thursday was preferable,
because of the Thursday lectures, or
midweek religious services. that took
place every week in communities of
considerable size, joint observance
of the two days rendering 1t unneces-
sary, of course, for many to sacrifice
days labor, especially for Thanks
giving.
Although the pilgrims were the first
to observe Thanksgiving on this con-
tinent. the Salem colonists, on their
voyage over here in 1929, observed
Thanksgiving on shipboard, in which
everybody, passengers. captain and
crew, took part, as an acknowledge
ment of a favorable breeze that had
followed a preceding day OF fasting
and prayer.
Winthrop colony. in 1880. also OBJ
served a Thanksgiving, apparently en-
tirely without any inspiration from
the pilgrims, but in accordance with
their former custom in England, the
motive in this case having been graf
itude for the safe arrival of their feet
at Charlestown. where purely relig-
ious services were held beneath a
tree, for 1t was in hot weather, July 8.

first, was about eight months later.

The gloomy and repressive observ-

long from the days of the Puritans has
happily died out in America. People
no longer believe that happiness on
Sunday Is sin. In parts of Scotland

William Maccallum lived with his,
family on farm several miles from
the village. On Sunday he was won't
to stride with his long-legged son
James over the four miles of road to,
the kirk. The rest of the family fol-
lowed in the cart.

day. when the air was filed with the
strength of the hill breezes-William
