BEWARE OF SHADOWS

ITO MAKE ones self happy, to
L keep on the sunlit trails, to go
about the Gays duties with a light
heart and O willing hand, one must
keep constantly In the splendent, radi-
ant rays from the worlds above.
II is not easy to wear a smile when
troubles hover near, but BY continued
snrort In the right spirit, 1t can be
done.
Many Of our annoying perplexities
are Of our own making, consequently
they can be avoided by turning from
them when they first knock at the
door OF our hearts for admission, and
shutting the door in their faces.
We are inclined to brood over some
fancied wrong until 1t becomes a
formidable ghostly thing that haunts
our life from day to day. We are
prone 10 forget that we are rational
beings possessed Of spiritual powers
capable OF turning night into day by
n Grain or two of faith, which in our
moments Of dependency we frequent
Nv
q balm OF our own.
We art not willing to accept the
sacred promises given to us by the
Master OF Men. simply because we
prefer the shadows of doubt rather
than the glorious sunlight Of endur-
luf truth. so We continue to stumble
and fall In the darkness Of our crea-
ton and blame the Fates for our mis-
srabls plight.
Human vanity and an exalted idea
Of our blood prowess are in
most cases responsible for the sor-
rows, tears and disappointments that
usually beset us.
We make pitiable Jobs of our work
but we stubbornly refuse to change
our methods even though they bring
10 nothing but regret and pain.
I And generally we rest fairly con-
gent with our failures, for we keep
multiplying them and counting their
company when we know In our hearts

the stern tasks that awaited these Pilgrim folk,
who sought on the bleak New England coast the
right to accept the dictates of their own con-
science and freedom to worship God"
Perhaps Priscilla felt that to men Of such type
women more less incidents" proving the
poet Byron's confession that Love Is to men a
thing apart IT'S woman's whole existence"
Perhaps she had the fear that In years to come
Miles Standish might weary Of the tameness Of
the Plymouth hearth fire and harken to the call
OF wanderlust once more. John Alden, on the
other hand. was the steady going kind, a student,
of judicial temperament imbued with the tenets
of the Pilgrim faith, while Miles Standsh as a
soldier Of the church militant perhaps not
over-troubled with religious theories and intrca-
cies, a fighting roundhead" so to speak. caring
more for the battle like the fighting Quaker ELL
colts Of Maryland, who have managed, in spite
Of being Friends to be in every scrap In which
Uncle Sam has had hand
1t may come surprise to most people that
the Pilgrim fathers were not "graybeards" gen.
orally supposed, but, on the contrary, young men.
Only two of the whole company were more than
fifty years Of age and only nine were more than
forty. Standish was thirty-six years old; John
Alden only twenty-one. There again comes
in another reason why John Alden was chosen
by the sprightly Priscilla and Standish turned
down by proxy. 1t youth calling to youth
with Priscilla and John Alden To her seven
teen-year-old eyes Captain. Standsh was an "old
man."
John Alden was Of her own generation. MAY
preferred to wed with May instead of September
and there's gainsaying a woman's because"
which In one word sums up any given action of
hers
Moreover John Alden offered Priscilla the
flower Of a first love Miles StandIsh had buried
his heart in a womans grave-that Of his FIR
wife lovely Rose Standish, frai Of body but great
Of heart, who succumbed with fifteen of the
twenty nine women who had sailed from England
and Holland to the hardsl.ips Of the first Plym
outh winter, leaving no child to comfort her son
rowing husband.
Priscilla at this time was only sixteen lust on
the verge Of womanhood. We can picture Pris-
ella not in the conventional uniform attire of the
pictured Pilgrim, which with its gray gowns with
dainty white collars and cuffs with stiff cans and
dark capes is mere artistic caper, according 10
the best authority. Women Of Priscilla's station
In life, and 1t was of the upper middle class wore
the English dress Of the period. This was often
full skirts Of silk Of varied colors; long pointed
stomachers, often with bright tone; full. some
times pulled or slashed, sleeves and lace collars
or "whisks" resting upon the shoulders Often
the gowns were plated or silk laced; they often
opened In front, showing petticoats that were
quilted embroidered In brighter colors Later
came the dress restrictions, but not In the early
days Of the colony.
Fortune had severe trials In store for Priscilla
