Let the nnthor f a book, recently published In "o 'ton. tlie home of the Puritans, by Utile, T.rown and company, nnswer that question.

For ' two bf Ms 'ancestors among many others have "records" In that they ' were haled Into court for deeds which were "not-quitpuritan." In the Introduction to his book Professor Lawrence says: Nothing nw could possibly h uttered nbout the austerity of the Puritan, but there Is still much to be said concerning bis frivolity. During; more than a century, tireless orators have stupefied their hearers with undisertmlnstlns; praise of the stern virtues thRt were the flory of early New ' England; and when he Image breakers of our own Irreverent times have risen to reply, they have usually seen and smitten only a figure of unhumsn sternness, made awful by his worshipers. It Is high time that Justice be done to the humanity, the frailty, and the frivolity of our formidable ancestors. For example, all we loyal New Entrlanders have known from our youth up of Cotton Mather's views on witchcraft and his discission of the "nature, number, and operations of the devils"; but Informed of how why have we not been as freely e suit while he narrowly escaped a courting his second wife?

We of the Twentieth have a right to demand that history tell us the truth- about how the repres-sionisof Puritan New England really worked among the masses of the people. It seems to have been no more than Indifferently successful even In that age of lean adversity. A large fraction of the population submitted to, rather than shared In, the - - religious and moral fervor which has made the period notorious. They hardly qualified as belonging in the company of the saints. ' They were' "the Puritans."

In 1660, Jacob Mlnllne and Sarah Tuttle of New Haven were haled to court for violating the law 'and the record shows that the purpose of thelt unlawful meetings had by no means been prayer and fasting. "They sat down together," says the testimony "Ma arm being about her, and her arm upon hl shoulder or about his neck; and he kissed her. and she kissed him. or they kissed on another, con-- ' tinning In this posture about half an hour." Moreover, Sarah denied that Jacob had "Inveigled her her Instead affections," whereupon the court fined of him, and called her a "bould ' virgin," " As early as 1834, "soma new and Immodest alarmed the authorities of Massachusetts In-- ' to ordering "that no person, either man or womac, shall hereafter make or buy an apparel, elthei woolen, silk, or linen, with any lace on it, silver gold, silk, or thread."
