THE VINCENT FAMILY
By FRANCKS COWLBS.
j There are a number of families of
Vincents in this country who are of
English descent, but perhaps a greater
number trace their descent to the brave
Huegonots. who for conscience's saks
fled from their native France to brave
the hardships of a strange and, in many
cases, hostile country.
The family in England, however, is
very old. Away back in the thirteenth
century there is record of one Miles
Vincent, who in the reign of Edward
II held lands in Swinford, County Lei
cester.
One of the big families established
hero by the English Vincents is that
r Of Rhode Island. This family was
Started by William Vincent, who was
born in England, and who died in
Providence, R. I. His mother was
Fridgsworth, sister of William Carpen
ter, who lived in Providence, and when
her children, Jane and William, were
•mall she sent them from their home in
Wiltshire to their uncle in Providence.
The uncle seems to have treated Wil
liam Vincent well, for in 1661 he deeded
him 64 acres of land, and in the course
Of time he also gave the young man
his daughter FYiscilla in marriage. Jane
f^incent married John Sheldon.
W illiam was a cooper by trade, and
his estate is Inventoried in 1688, seven
years before his death, as follows: “Six
cows, two oxen, three yeafling heifers,
three horses, two colts, four hogs, four
acres of planting, eight acres meadow,
10 acres wild pastures.”
William s sons were Thomas, who re
mained in Providence; Nicholas, who
had four sons and six doughters, and
established the family in Westerly, R.
I., and William, who married Elizabeth
Jlennett. and remained in Providence as
a oordwainer.
Another English branch of the family
was established in Massachusetts by
Another William, who was born in 1627,
And Who married Susannah Browning.
This family intermarried with the Dun
hams, the Stuarts, the Jamegans and
the Mayliews, and spread throughout
Massach use t ts.

country settled, in New York at about

the same time—1682. One of these men
was of French, the other Dutch ori-'
grin, but It is clear that the Dutch Vin- |
cents came originally from France to
Holland.
In the history of the French Huego
nots we find that one Vincent of Tour-'
ney, at the time of the great religious1
persecutions, went from Flanders to Hoi-!
land and later came to America. The!
French family came directly to America I
at the time of these same persecutions.
This family was composed of two broth
ers and two sisters—Jean, Francois, Mad
eline and Esther. Madeline Vincent,
s&netime before she came to America,
married Jean Pellestr^ait, and in 1688
her name is found as the very first in
the records of the old French church in
New York city—the Eglise du Saint Es
prit.
But Francois is the member of this
family of whom we have the best rec
ord. He was a sail maker, and before
he came to America he lived at Soublse,
France, about 20 miles south of Da Ro
chelle but because of his religion he
was forced to go to England, with bis
wife, Anne Guerry, and his children,
Anne and Francoise, and after a short
time he came to America.
This was in 1682, and soon after this
we hear of his brother Jean, with his
wife Susanne Nuquerque, when they
stood sponsors at the little French
church at the baptism of Susanne. daugh
ter of Susanne Vincent’s sister Madeline,
and Francois Basset.
This Francois Basset was master of
a sailing vessel, and FrancoiB Vincent
was his mate. On August 13, 1685, the
two set sail from New York, and ran
into the hands of the Spaniards on the
high seas, who took them prisoners.
They wrcre taken to Santo Domingo,
where they were ill used for the space
of four months, and whence they es
caped “by a particular providence of
God,” In a little canoe to a French town.
They had few clothes, but some friendly
Frenchman clothed them and brought
them back to New York.
When Francois died he left the fol
lowing will made in the sixth year “of
the reign of our sovereign Lord King
George II, being ancient, very sick and
weak in bond, but of sound mind.”
To the eldest and well beloved son,
Samuel, lie left six shillings, to Anne
Gilbert, Ills daughter, he left all the
linen, and the “picture which was drawn
to represent my person.” To his grand
son, Francis Manny, he left his gun, his
sword and* his watch, and to the same
grandson and to his grandson Stephen
Maynard, he left all his wearing apparel,
linen and woolen, equally divided. To i
Anne Gilbert and her heirs he left two
shillings, sixpence.
The Dutch family in New York of the
same name lived just across the street
from the French family. As we have
already seen, this branch was estab
lished by Adrien Vincent, from Tourney,
and although we don't know much about
him, he established a flourishing family
here. Ills daughter, Hester, was bap
tized in the Dutch church in 1645, and 40
years later Jan and his wife. Annetje,
are recorded as members of the same
church.
The family to which Bishop Vincent,
the founder of the Chautauqua society,
belongs, traces its descent to Devi Vin
cent, who was born in the south of
France about 1676, and came to New
Jersey on account of religious persecu
tion. Devi was the name of one of Jean
Vincent’s sons, so perhaps these two
branches of the family were closely re
lated in France. One of Devi’s sons, his
grandson Cornelius, and the latter’s son
Bethnel, were engaged in the defense of
Fort Freeland, on the Susquehanna,
against the British and Indians in 1779.
Cornelius and Bethnel were taken pris
oners and carried to Canada, where they
were, after much cruel treatment, re
leased. After their return home the fam
ily moved from New Jersey to Pennsyl
vania.
Several branches of the family in Eng
land and France bear arms. Those illus
trated are blazoned; Azure three quarter
foils argent with two bars of the same
between the charges.
The motto reads: “Vincent dabitur.”
The Canny Scotsman?
The wonderful Scotch! Out of how
frugal a corner have they proceeded Jo
Inherit the earth, exclaims a writer la
Scribner’B. I saw Andrew Carnegie's por»
trait In a gallery that was open, and I
saw the Canongate— the very modest
dwelling of the regent Murray, the dimin
utive habitation where lived John Knox!
We got a line from the consul to say
we were not suffragettes, and a permit on
the strength of It to see Holyrood.
I wish there could be a report by Dr.
Flexner on the Scots and how they came
so. and wether they owe thetr great place
In the world, and In literature and the
hearts of men, to poverty, the Presby
terian religion, whisky, or oatmeal. Cer
tainly they lived In the Imagination and
a good deal on It, having so little else
to live on. It is a hard life, hut very
spirited while it lasts, which, usually. Is
not long. It is fine for the health to have
enough to eat, and to go dry shod and
clothed in cold weather, and to wash
and to Aeep warm, but It seems not to be
particularly good for the spirit. We eee
such splendid results from poverty, hard
fare and short commons, that you would
think It would become the fashion. Not
so. Those who embrace It are not ad
mired. What we most admire In pov
erty le Its power to make out of some
materials strong people who can eat it,
and either get rich or otherwise become
glorious and respected. But especially we
admire those who get rich.
That Is what poverty, combined with
a strong climate, whisky, oatmeal and re
ligion. did for the Scots. It qualified them
to get rich, glorious and respected. They
seem to have no Franciscan sentiment
about poverty. They think nothing of It.
and that Is a sound opinion, for the tear
of it Is Its best trait. It makes for short
Jlfe and short language. But It seems
to he about as healthy as extreme wealth,
which makes for small families, large ex
pectations and distaste for exertion.
A Gentle Hint
From J udge.
"I wish I hadn't eaten that cake." said
Tommy.
“Don't you feel well?” asked ' his
father.
"It Isn't that; but if I hadn't eaten at
4 would still be able to eat It”

A SUCCESSFUL GUEST |
By JEANNE GASTON
Slie makes such a charming hostess, It's
a delight to visit her!”
You have heard that remark a score of
times, but have you ever heard anyone
say of you or your dearest friends, "She
is such a charming guest it's a joy to
have her?” I am afraid that we all are
rather apt to consider that a hostess
has very clearly defined duties toward
her guests, while the guests are absolved
of the duty of considering the wishes of
their hostess. Always the most difficult
point In visiting people who are both very
Intimate friends Is to know exactly how
fa£ one may share all the little familiari
ties of family life. The familiar phrase,
"Make yourself at home," ought not to
be accepted literally. It Is not, for in
stance, good taste to rush into the bed
room of the eldest daughter flrst thing in
the morning with a “Do lend me some
hairpins, there's a dear!"
And It is very tastless Indeed to invade
the kitchen, talk to the cook, criticise
her making a beef olives, and constitute
oneself domestic aid-de-camp to the kitch
en maid. I have known women do these
things, In all good-heartedness, but with
an appalling unconsciousness of the tast1
leesness of It all. Women are usually a
little sensitive about their domestic ar
rangements, and resent the least sugges
tion of interference; a visitor, therefore,
is always wise in keeping away from the
sacred portal of the kitchen.
Perhaps the most Irritating guest Imag
inable is the woman who has no dislikes
or likes. You make certain plans tenta
tively. ask her what she would care to
do, and with annoying Indifference she
replies, "Anything, you like, dear."
Even if one doesn't feel particularly en
thusiastic over a certain plan, how much
more polite it is to assume a little warmth
than to chill your hostess with the "don't
aalod-what-I-do” attitude. I know I shoud
infinitely prefer a guest of mine to be
quite frank In her dislike of a proposed
outing or entertainment than to appear
Indifferent. You feel that It Is qulta
impossible to please the Indifferent guest,
for you never know what she wants or
doesn't want, and it is something of a
relief when she packs her suitcase and
says good-by.
Only a woman quite Ignorant of good
form would make plans for the visiting
or reception of friends unknown to her
hostess without first consulting her. Hut
if permission to do so Is graciously ac
corded. It ought not to be abused. If you
are visiting a town where you have many
friends It Is better to pay a series of
rapid visits than to make one house your

828 and 830 H. 19th Street
center end do your visiting from there.
The great secret In being a successful
guest Is to adapt yourself aa far as pos
sible to the habits of the family. Don’t
Intrude where your sense of tact tella
you you are not wanted. A good plan Is
to make some excuse for remaining In
yoUr bedroom for an hour or two In the
morning. This leaves your hostess free
to get on with her work and she won't
be worrying about entertaining you all
the time. If there Is any little service
you can do, such as taking the children
for a walk, or doing some ahopplng, no
doubt your hostess will be glad of your
offer.
And after the visit? It Is stranga how
often the little note of thanks is forgotten.
Yet whether the visit la simply for a
week-end or for several weeks, the letter
of thanks Is equally Important. Make
your hostess feel that you ready have
had a happy time, and that you were gen
uinely sorry to come away. A hurriedly
written "Bo many thanks for happy time,
hope all are well," .is surely an unworthy
return for alt tne efforts mads by one's
hostess to give one more than la merely
a "Jolly” time.
To be a successful guest rsqulres a
little thought, a good deal of tact, and
an illimitable amount of sunny good na
ture and graciousnees.
Elusive De Wet
From Tit-Bite.
It was during the South African war
that De Wet. the Boer leader who hep
turned traitor, flret came into prom
inence. although it should not bs for
gotten that In the flret Boer war in
lkgl he fought at Ingo#o and Majuba,
and subsequently gat in the Transvaal
Parliament.
His guerrilla tactlce during the
South African war ware reeponsible for
many Boer successes, and it wag a Brit
ish general who said of him: "He ap
pears always where he is thought not
to be.”
One of the beet stories of De Wet Is
that told concerning three Yeomanry
officers who were captured by him near
Dlndiey. De Wet told them that he had
an Important dispatch for General Run
die. and It they would undertake to
deliver It they would be liberated. All
three gave their word of honor to de
liver the letter Into General Kundle's
oan hands. They duly performed their
mission, and got much laughed at for
their pains. Ths letter ran as follows:
"Dear Hlr—Please chain up these
three men, us T can catch them every
day. Yours, I»c Wet.”
