Some luxuries Needed.

Those stern economists who are
pointing out that the people OF small
means ought to abandon @luxuries
forget that even such people have a
moral right to something beyond the
bare necessities of life The rapid
increase in prices does not mean to
them cutting out more extravagances,
but forgetting the modest recreations
which have frightened for them the
dull round OF daily labor. 1t would
be a hard world indeed where one
could obtain just enough to keep body
and soul together, and no more

WeUeS Family

AS a surname Welles Is taken from
the name of a place: for in many
places, and in many languages, springs
or wells gave their names to places.
The same name is known in several
languages French as Du Puy or
Dupuis and De la Fontaine, in Dutch
as Wander der Put, and in Italian as
Pozzi The name was also Latinized
as De Fontibus. People living near a
well that had no particular name were
sometimes called Ate Welle. or De la
Well, and these names were later
shortened into Welles
The Welles family in this country is
doubtless of Norman origin. and in the
country whence 1t came originally II
was known as de Welles." Il is said
that in the eleventh century William
the Norman Conqueror gave 20 one of
his knights, Richardns, the manor of
Welles and made him Baron or Lord
Welles. In return for this favor Lord
Welles was to see that the king 5
household was supplied with bread.
The family In America was estab-
lished by a branch of this noble fam
lily of barons Of the realm And IL is
strange story that tells OF the COM
ing to the new world OF the first man
of the name.
Thomas Welles was the owner and
proprietor OF large hotel in London,
which was much frequented by the
nobility He also owned shipyards.
and one day at dinner he let fall some
ideas about his religious beliefs His

was suspected of non-conformity by
the court of high commission.
This was in 1929, and Thomas and
his family realized that no time could

now Salem, Mass, and soon afterward
his family joined him He had five

William Hobson settled at Rawley.

There are a good many coats-of.
arms borne by the different branches
OF the family, but most of them bear
good deal of resemblance to each
other. One of them is blazoned:

But enc day Sammy disappeared,

very stern, and with a remarkably

For many years in England the
phrase "Hobsons Choice" has been a
by-word. In the very first part of the
seventeenth century there lived at
Cambridge a man by the name of
Thomas Hobson who kept a livery
stable. His customers. when they
came to hire carriage, were always
given the horse nearest the door,
whether they liked It or not. So Hob
sons choice came to signify that you
could take what you could get, or else
go without; and perhaps this habit of
making everything accomplish its
share has helped the Hobsons to get
On in the world
There have been Hobsons and Hop
sons in England almost forever. Hob

She was the daughter of a gamekeep-
