An Episode at
Kingston
After Which the Old Village :
Slowly Crumbled Away {:
BY EDNA D. HILL

Kingston, from its settlement by a
younger son of an English nobleman
and its naming for the king of Eng
land. who ruled at the time. was an
a%ristocratic town. There was scarcely
a house in it that was not owned by a
woman. for the men as fast as they
came to years of maturity went to
more active places. But there was
not a woman in Kingston whose house
was not a model of comfort, whose
silver had not been handed down in
the family for more than a century
some of them three centuries-and
whose furniture was not antique.
True. much Of the original wealth
of the inhabitants of Kingston had
been brought there by retired bucca-
neers. But those whose silver had
come down to them from ancestors
who had taken it from some merchant
vessel, compelling the owner to walk
the plank. argued that in those days
