Perhaps Priscilla felt that to men of such type

poet Byron's confession that Love is to men
thing apart. IT'S womans whole existence"
Perhaps she had the fear that in years to come
Miles Standsh 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 the steady-gong kind, student,
of judicial temperament, imbued with the tenets

1t may come as a surprise to most people that

Only two of the whole company were more than
fifty years of age and only nine were more than
forty Standish was thrty-siX years old John
Alden only twenty-one. There again comes
in another reason why John Alden was chosen
by the sprightly Priscilla and Standsh turned
down by proxy. 1t was youth calling to youth

teenyear-old eyes Captain Standsh was an "old
man."
John Alden was Of her own generation. Nav

and there's gansaying a woman's "because"
which in word sums up any given action of
hers
Moreover John Alden offered Priscilla tbe
flower Of a first love; Miles Standsh had buried
his heart in womans grave-that of his fir
wife, lovely Rose Sandish frail of body but great

to have aroused the sympathy Of the entire col.

Meantime the Mayhower was returning to Eng

loyalty to his angry friend to push his suit with
Priscilla, planned to return to the old home, for
saking forever the Plymouth ny. He threw
together his scanty belongings and went to the

anchors. A crowd had gathered there, and as

q kind of chicken. Certainly there Is many a
native-born American who doesn't know the diff
ference between the Pilgrims and the Puritans:
maybe he even thinks they the same!
But nobodys going to have chance to forget
the Pilgrims. There's Thanksgiving day, which Is
NOT complete without appropriate references to
the Pilgrims and that first Thanksgiving dinner
of wild turkey cranberries and pumpkin pie
That's yearly reminder.
And there the thousands upon thousands
of 'NIaytOwer Descendants" whose activities are
nationwide.
And there are the thousands upon thousands of
priceless family herlooms brought over on the
Mayfower-yOu wouldn't think from the accom-
panyng reproduction of her replica that she could
have carried so many would you?
Some future Americans may escape the de-
scendants and the relics. But THANKSGIVING will
get most of them and the story Of Priscilla Null
Inns and John Alden and Capt Miles Standish will
get the rest. Why, every schoolboy and every
schoolgirl is brought up this story; to escape
IT the future American will have to play hockey
all his schoodays and dodge Longrelow all his

This Plymouth Rock romance Is really quite n
story. 1t has several claims upon fame, aside
from Iongfellows melodious version
In the first place it's true story. If you don't
believe there were any such people, please know
that John and Priscilla became the parents of
eleven children-and their descendants are now
numerous enough TO nave u society all by them
selves
Secondly, Priscilla perpetrated the first recorded
American leap-year proposal TO be sure she
didn't pop until 1920 past and gone but the
principle is the same.
Thirdly, It's the first American triange-an
innocent one, adorned with admirable features

Priscilla appears TO have stuck pretty close to
the facts-for Il poet. But he was Il Nero man
and how could he tell the story of girls love!

as to why Priscilla took John instead of Captnin
