we, on the hill, sat in the sunlight.

The lightness with which he re-

stirred Lila so completely was insult

The knowing look of the stenog-

feel as If we had been dragged

we had-through the dry burning
dust of contempt which is always a
woman's share of the afterglow of

She was jealous!


When his sisters came to visit
them she'd spend half of her time
trying to wiring out of him confess
sions that she was much more at
tractive mentally, physically and
spiritually than they.
When he offered to share his UNI
brella with the nineteen-year-old girl
in the apartment upstairs and they
turned laughingly in the gate, she
turned a cool cheek for his kiss or
denied him entirely and looked hurt
all evening.
He was a generous soul and so
when he met the woman next door
getting off of the car and assisted
her with packages. as he came in
the door his wife reminded him that
she had been uptown that very af-
ternoon and had had to carry her
own packages home.
She never left him alone a second
with her younger sister and always
found an excuse for sending her
home or getting her out of the way.
Sometimes she cried and some
times she scolded, but she always
did one or the other If she discov-
cred that he picked up one of the
girls at the office who went his way
and let her ride in his car.
When he went to the club dances
unless he wanted a stormy scene
when he reached home he had to act
as though he hated every woman
there and only suffered dancing with
them because his men friends want
edsto dance with his wife.
Really he was quite a nice man
when she married him. But this con-
slant and so very apparent worry of
hers about other women aroused his
curiosity about them. He wondered
what charm it was she so feared
and, human enough, he endeavored
to discover!
And she never realized that it was
her continual attracting his atten-
ton to other ONE by her Jealousy
Of them that started the trouble.

FIRST MARRIAGE RE-
CORDED IN PLYMOUTH
May IL, Tercentenary Anniversary Of
First Civil Marriage in New
World.

Many interesting things have been
brought out this year concerning the
Pilgrims and the three hundredth an
niversary of their first landing in
America. One event that's particularly
interesting is the first marriage among
the Pilgrims. which was perhaps the
first civil marriage in the New World.
The New York Herald relates how
the wedding came about:
This is a wedding anniversary and
a tercentenary at that On May IL,
1921, the first English marriage in
New England was performed. The
principals were two of the Mayhower
passengers. The bride was Susanna
White and the groom was Edward
Winslow.
Both contracted parties had been
recently widowed. Susanna came to
Plymouth as the wife of William
White. They had son. Resolved,
when they sailed from Leyden, and
another son, Peregrine, was born to
them in Cape Cod Harbor on Novem-
Der 2O,162O, a few days after the land
ing. William White. was one of the
many Pilgrims who died the first win
ter.
"A month after Susanna White was
left a widow Edward Winslow lost
his young wife, Elizabeth, whom he
had married about two years before
the great voyage. So here were q a
lonely pair in a land which was not
fit for loneliness. The courtship was
brief indeed; the marriage of the wild
ow White and the widower Winslow
occurred less than two months after
Elizabeth Winslow's death. Thus
within six months. Susanna became
New England's first mother and first
bride
1T was probably the first civil mar
riage in the new world. Governor
Bradford was in favor of the civil
marriage. 1t was thought he wrote in
his history, most requisite to be per
formed by the Magistrate, as being a
civil thing, upon which many ques-
tons about inhertances does depend
with other things most proper to theii
cognizans, and most consonnante &c
the scripturs, Ruth 4, and no where
found in the gospel to be layed or
| the ministers as a part of their office.
| The matter of civil marriages played
a painful part in Winslow's life ffteer
years latter, when, as Governor of the
colony, he went to England to plead
| Plymouth's cause. For preaching anc
for performing civil marriages he wa:
kept in prison four months, he having
stoutly maintained, against the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, that he founo
nowhere in the Word of God tina
marriage was tied to ministrie."
"The parties to the first white mar
riage down East lived happily to
| gether, as was the ancient custom il
many families. Two children wer,
born to them and one of these Josial
| Winslow, became almost as famous
as his father, being elected Governo
of Plymouth Colony a few years afte
his fathers death. So the bride o
three centuries ago this day is quit
as distinguished in history as Poca
hontas, even if not so romatic. As thu
first New England mother and bride
! the wife of the. first provincial Gov
ernor of the Colony and the mothe
of it's first native Governor, Susann
carries off great many ribbons"

WILSON'S MEMO
RIAL DAY LETTER
His First Public Statement
Since Retiring From
Office.

Washington, May 27.-Woodrow
Wilson broke today the silence he
has maintained since he retired from
the White House on March 4.
In a Memorial Day letter to the
editor of "The Stars and Stripes
which was published today in that
soldier periodical, he declared that the
American PEOPLE shall not be able to
enjoy the full pride of the days re-
collections unless we have made sure
that the duties that grew out OF the
war have been fulfilled to the I'M
most"
"Are we sure?" he asked "If we
are not shall we not soon take steps
to do whatever has been omittedF"
The full text of the former presi-
dents letter follows:
Memorial day has always been one
of our most solemn and thoughtful
anniversaries when we recalled great
memories and dedicated ourselves a
gain to the maintenance and purifica-
ton of the nation, but this year it
has an added and tremendous signi-
fcance because of memories and
sacrifices of the great World War are
now among the most stimulating of
the recollections of the day.
"We celebrate the immortal achiev-
ements of the men who died in
France on the field and in the trench
es, far away from home, in order that
both our own people and the people
across the seas might be delivered
from the ugliest peril of all history.
1t is our privilege not only to indulge
a high and solemn pride and grief
for the heroes of that great struggle
but also to rededicate ourselves to
the achievements of the great OBJ
jects for which the war was fought
We shall not be happy; we shall not
be able to enjoy the full pride of the
days recollections until we have
made sure that the duties that grew
out of the war have been fulfilled to
utmost.
"Are we sure? If we are not shall
we not soon take steps to do what
ever has been omitted? Cordially
yours, WOODROW WILSON"
