 T know of no more beautiful place in America" Mrs Barrow continued, than picturesque old Provincetown. Almost encircled in the curve of a great arm of shifting sand, the ebb and flow of the tides of a magnifi- cent harbor come and go-the harbor in whose security the Mayflower first dropped anchor on the 11th day of November, 1920. In this good harbor the first Thank sgiving for the conn pletion of a perilous voyage was of fered, and here it may we'll be said was the birthplace of American lib- erty, for in the cabin of the May flower as she rode at anchor the compact was drawn up and signed. The compact read in this fashion:
 "Tn the name of God. Amen.
 "'We, swhose names are uRderwrit- ten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign. Lord King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain. France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc, having undertaken for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith and the honor of our King and country, voyage to plant the first colony in the northern part of Virginia, do by these presents sol- emnly and mutually. in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civic body polite, for our better or dering and preservation, and further ance of the ends aforesaid and by virtue hereof do enact constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordi- nances. acts. constitutions, and of fices from time to time as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due sub mission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our sovereign Lord King James of England. France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty fourth. Anno Domini, 1620.'
 "To the above were signed the names of the Al male passengers of the Mayflower." Mrs. Barrow said 50 the traveller, the pilgrim of to- day, who would walk with those pil- grims of the old world, must begin bis journey not at Plymouth but at Provincetown, that quaint heckon-
