PURITAN HUSBAND MALIGNED
There Is Strong Proof That He was

mentality.

Did those Puritan husbands lack
charm or devotion to their women?
I find that theory had to reconcile
with the fact that so many Of them
had three wives, writes Stuart 2.
Sherman in the Atlantic.
Most of us modern men feel that
we have charm enough if we can OBJ
tain and retain one, now that higher
education of women has made them so
eXacting in their standards and so ex-
pensive to maintain.
Now Cotton Mather had three wives,
and when he was forty or so, In
the short interim between No. and
No. 3, he received proposal Of mar
riage from girl of twenty, who was,
he thought, the wittiest and prettiest
girl in the colony. I concluded In
evitably that there was something
very attractive in Cotton Mather.
Call it charm; call it what you will ;
ne possessed that which the Ladies'
Home Journal would describe as
"What women desire in men,"
AS a further illustration Of the ''sul-
len gloom of their domestic habits"
take the case Of John Winthrop, the
pious Puritan governor Of Massachu-
setts. After a truly religious court
ship, he married his wife, about 1913,
against the wishes Of her friends. We
have some letters Of the early years
Of their life together in which he ad-
dresses her as MY dear wife" MY
sweet wife," and my dear wife, my
chief Joy of this world" Well, that
is nothing; at first, we all do that.
But ten years later Winthrop pre-
pared to visit New England, with
out his family, to found a colony.
While waiting for his ship to sail, he
writes still to his wife, by every pos
stble messenger, merely to tell her that
she Is his chief Joy In all the world
and before he leaves England he ar
ranges with her that, as long as ne
Is away, every week on Tuesday and
Friday at five o'clock he and she will
think of each other wherever they are,
and commune in spirit.
When she has been married ten or
twelve years, that is more extraor'
dinary. 1t shows, l think, romantic
feeling equal to that in Miss Lulu

The dragon tree of the Canary fs'

he should not like to guarantee that
the tree is quite SO old.
