Why any one in his or her right mind
should object to the Puritan Sunday is
what puzzles Mr. Japhet Rouse. For years

- fashioned Sunday excursion, the family are spending the day indoors, in quiet Christian contemplation. There
is no Sunday paper; and Pop is going over the stock quotations of the day before. Mom is manicuring and
' wondering how Joe can expect the children to mind if he loses his temper Pop,.by the way, has given out
