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 everyone should know, had separated from the Established Church of England in part because pf their dislike for its ritual. Therefore, while accepting the great event of Christmas day, they dispnraged its observance. Thanksgiving day, however, established Itself naturally, as the outgrowth of the conditions of the colony. 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 pumpkin pie, for this was the agriculture of the Indian: corn in hills, with a climbing beun ; pumpkins between the rows. So, if anyone should celebrate Thanksgiving duy with enthusiasm It is the descendants of the Pilgrims who came over In the Mayflower. Nobody knows just how many of them there are today, but more than five thousand are enrolled in the membership of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and the society is growing. Its no easy matter to get on the rolls, either. There is a historian general who traces all lines of descents. Altogether there are prob-- . ably between 6,000 and 7,000 descendants scattered all over the country. There were 102 passengers on the Mayflower when she suited from Plyu outh, England, on September 16, 1620. One man died on board ship and one male child, Oceanus Hopkins, was born in 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 Mayflower scions in this country today are in reality descended from only 23 possible lines. The intermarriage of the Pilgrim families Is responsible for this reduction. Four lines are practically extinct. Louis 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 disappeared from the earth. The Bradford, Brewster, Ilowland and Alden lines perhaps have been the most prolific, while the number of Standlshes and Allertons is comparatively small. The descendants of the original Governor Winslow are now living In CanWhen the Revolutionary war ada. broke out they decided for the cause of the king and moved across the border. The Winslows of Mayflower descent now found in this country are of the line of the original Governor mid-Atlanti- c. Winslows brother. The 19 more or less prolific family lines are those of John Alden, Isaac William Bradford, William Chilton, Francis Cooke, Edward Doty, Edward Fuller, Dr. Samuel Fuller, Stephen Hopkins, John Ilowland, Degory Priest, Thomas Rogers, Henry Samson, George Soule, Miles Standish, Richard Warren, Wil- Allerton, Brewster, James It.

He had heard the others talk about tickets and as he had no ticket and no money with which to buy a ticket he thought hed better get In rather quietly and without being noticed. He had succeeded. He had walked In without being noticed. Such crowds had been coming in so he wasnt seen. Then he had found himself a place behind some benches and he had sat there waiting to hear the concert.
