tugged at her skirts. '
"1 cum ten you about them all."
she said, "You seo, you can’t think
Of all their iiainos."
Mrs. Hought, however, managed to
remember eleven of the sixteen child-_T
r.-n who formed the first family. Tho
oidest, she believed, was about forty-
five. Two or three of the family are
dead.
Summarized, the names and des-
tinies of those members of the Hought
family who are not forgotten are as
follows:
Leonard, a. joincr, works at Don-`
caster.
Margaret married a Shoemaker and
lives at Lincoln. '
Elizabeth is the wife of a foreman
foundry worker employed at Lin-
coln. `
Kate is married to an agent living
at Lincoln. `
Walter is a fitter in a Lincoln
workshop.
Tom. a. tailor, works at Lincoln. ,
Edith, who is unmarried, is 3,
clerk in a Lincoln ofllce. _
Lily married a. grocer's aSSista.nt i
living at Grantham.
Jessie is a mother's help at Gran-
tham.
_Elsie is in service at Halifax. E
Florrie married a Wagoner and lfvol
at Claxby.
The Hought family is an admirable
example of Lincolnshire country folk
generally. Tealby is a paradise on
a hill. Tree-io;-|.i~;l downs decline on
to stretches of meadowland and corn,
and woods of fir, in which rabbits
and squirrels start at your footstep _
as you pass.
The younger generation preferred -
the congested towns, however, and
have fled from the land. Out of
twenty-two young men reared in a
row of houses at Nocton sixteen have
forsaken the country for the town.
In 1a.rge_fa.milies, it inlaid, some
af the older ones have to leave home
from Sheer lack of accommodation.
That is not the chief reason however,

of the ripe young manhood which on
the land lives to a green old age
and leaves behind it many young

generations.
