Is lntl- L I mutely connected with the H I Pilgrims and New England, IvjHl I while at Christmas any I J V I °' " le beginning of I vj the American celebration of the day takes us back to Virginia and to the Jolly Dutch burghers of New Amsterdam. And this Is historically correct For the "mass" In Christmas shows that It was an annual church festival In celebration of the anniversary of the birth of Christ. The Pilgrims, as ev eryone should know, had separated from the Established Church of Eng land In part because of their dislike for Its ritual. Therefore, while ac cepting the great event of Christmas day, they disparaged Its observance. Thanksgiving day, however, estab lished Itself naturally, 48 the out growth of the conditions of the col ony. The turkey, which the friendly Indian hunters offered to them, came naturally to be the big thing of the Thanksgiving feast. And so did the pompkln pie, for this was the agricul ture of the Indian: corn In hills, with a climbing bean; pumpkins between the rows. So, If anyone should celebrate Thanksgiving day with enthusiasm it is the descendants of the Pilgrims who came over In the Muyflower. No body knows just how muny of them there are today, but mtire than five thousand nre enrolled member ship of the Oeneral May flower Descendants and the society Is growing. It's no essy mstter to get on the rolls, either. There is a his torian general who traces sll lines of descents. Altogether there are" prob ably between 0,000 and 7,000 descend ants scattered all over the country. There were 102 passengers on the Mayflower when she sailed from Plym outh, Entftnnri. on September 16, 1620. One man died on board ship and one male child, Oceanus Hopkins, was born In mid-Atlantic. It might seem that with an original band of 102 there might be scores of lines of descent, but such Is not the case. The May flower scions In this country today are In reality descended from only 23 pos sible lines. The intermarriage of the Pilgrim families Is responsible for this reduction. Pour lines are practically cstlnct. Loula Effingham de Forest, historian of the New York Society of Mayflower Descendants, says that many lines have been extremely prolific, while others through the centuries have almost dle ap pel red from the earth. The Brad ford. Brewster, Howland -and Alden lines perhaps have been the most pro lific. while the number of Standlshes and Allertons Is comparatively small. The descendants of the original Oov ernor Winslow are now living In Can ada. When the Revolutionary war broke out they decided for the cauac of the king and moved across the border. The Wlnslows of Mayflower descent now found of the line of the original Governor Wlnslow's brother. The 10 wore or teas prolific family lines are those of John Alden, Issac Allerton. William Bradford, William Brewster, James Chilton, Francis Cooke, Edward Doty, Edward Fuller, Dr. Samael Fuller, Stephen Hopkins, John Howlsnd, Degory Priest, Thomas Rogers. Henry Samson.

The lines of John Bllllngton, Peter Brown, Francis Eaton and Itlchard More are the ones practically extinct. New York state has about 850 mem bers, The total enrollment about 54200 members. Here Is the New York table to descendants. The pro portions probably hold all over the country.

Many member*, It la pointed out, have nu meroua lines of descent. Capt Richard Henry Greene, a Civil war veteran, formed a Mayflower so ciety In New York state in 1894. Con necticut, Massachusetts and Pennsyl vania quickly followed the example. These four states met In 1897 at Plym outh, Mass., and organized the Oen eral Society of Mayflower Descend ants. A state society was chartered in Illinois in June, 1897. The societies of the District of Columbia and Ohio came Into being In March, 1698. New Jersey followed In August, 1900; Wis consin, Rhode Island and Michigan In February, 1901. Later state societies were chartered In Minnesota, Maine and Colorado. There followed a period of steady growth until 1908, whsn California formed Ita society. The state of Washington's branch was chartered In 1912, and later charters were granted to societies In Kansas, Indiana and Nebraska. The Minne sota society Is now Inactive. "Roughly speaking, the Boclety of Mayflower Descendants has, I should •ay. about 5.200 members." declared Frederick Dwlght, secretary of the New York State society. "Massachu setts. as might be expected, heads the list with a membership of more than 1,000, while New York state has about 880.*" T doubt If the'Mftlonat member ship Is more than a small percentage, of the persons who have Pilgrim bipod in tbem In this country. Our con gresses st Plymouth are becoming bet ter attended each time they are held. At the last congress there were pres ent 17 officers of the general society snd 144 qualified delegates from all over the country. Bome of them came from as far west as Nebraska and California.

"We do not intend merely to sit around ahd glorify the past," contin ued Mr. Dwlght. "The General So ciety of Mayflower Descendants is now actively engaged In a definite pro gram of patriotism. We are striving to educate the foreigner who does not know the history of the country to which he has come as an Immigrant. We want to make him realize the tre mendous background there Is In early Colonial history. The Society of May flower Descendants isn't an organisa tion formed for mutual approbation. It Is an active wdrking force for Amer icanism." The membership of the society la on the Increase. Since the Inst con gress was held at Plymouth In 1021 the names of 910 new members have been added to Its rolls. In the last yeur alone 173 new members have been enrolled. In the West and the Middle West the membership Is Increasing to such an extent as to make probAble, In the future, a meeting In Chicago. In 18 states there are regularly chartered state societies which, taken as a whole, form the Oeneral Society of Mayflower Descendants with what is defined as "sentimental headquar ters" at Plymouth and actual national headquarters at Boston. The Increase In the membership Is declared to be due to a healthy growth and a newly awakened Interest in the founders of our country. Many other patriotic organisations have not much more than held their own since the war, losing members steadily through an increasing death rate, while the Society of Mayflower Descendants has gone steadily ahead. Its require ments for membership are high. When at the Plymouth congress It was voted to have the line of descent of all pro spective members traced by the his torian general of the national society before permitting these applicants to be certified by the state societies. It wss simply making a part of the con stitution something which was already a custom. Not only must the pro spective member have state sanction, but he must also have national sanc tion, before he can join the Mayflower descendants. When congress voted to take part la the tercentenary of the Pilgrim* the following was made a part of the records: "The landing of the Pilgrims sym bol lies one of the world's great ad ventures. The hardships of the voy qjft, the perils of the wilderness. Jhe ravages of that first dreadful winter— these are but circumstances that frame the picture. Acting for the nation, our concern today with the solemn story is that It rivets Imagination on the noblest pages of human nature — lofty purpose, dauntless courage, stead fast endurance, pious enthusiasm, holy faith." *■ Pd rail, biting off the stem of bta >e as he done so, but never missing lick In his argymnnt "•—foot and month diseasel* says he."—Kansas City Btar.

After noons and evenlnga full of entertain ment —and good works—make being housed up more than tolerable. Fem ininity Is further placated by the new afternoon and evening frocka that re place those of the good old summer time. There is no getting away from the fact that winter clothes are ve»y becoming. A bevy of new afternoon frocks has arrived, much given to tunics, godets, flares and ripples. The mode is in a gay mood and likes frocks that spell affluence. There Is nothing prim, about them and It Is comforting to consider that fabrics that are hot at all ex pensive have a rich and luxurious look. Metal brocades and laces, crepe sat ins, delicate chiffons, look fairly regal, but are not out of reach of the modest purse. All that glitters is not gold— but what Is the difference glitter serves Its purpose? Certainly we are deeply Indebted to the manufacturers of lovely fabrics. Taking satins to begin with, design ers have made - many piquant frocks that depart from the stralght-llne sil houette without any loss of graceful slendernesa. They are more becoming to most figures than the unbroken Una of the chemise dreaa. One of the new arrivals, Kith a flaring tunic, shows a new development of this popular U vertlsement of the afternoon frock.
