They Were known as “Exnigres.”.,a,nd there were two distinct emigrations at least in 1789. Many of them came back after the trouble ' blew over, while many had their estates confiscated. The Park has its emigres and its emigrations. The first one in France was in July, very soon after the fall of the Bastile. and the second in October. Our first one comes in early October, as soon as the golfing season is over and the furnagee are started. The second after Thanks giving and the holidays. Instead. of cOnfiseeting our emigres’ property, we protect their homes, though we advise them to take their silver and wardrobe with them. .."

This is quite a formidable list,but there are a few score of our “first families” left here yet. And what is equally to the point, these emigres come back every few weeks to see their old neighbors and friends. They get so lonesome and homesick in dirty, noisy Chicago. Poor souls, how we pity them. G. S. Everingham, the Board of Trade man, has gone nearer his“puts and calls” till the June roses and apple blossoms come again. George L. Wrenn and his family, including that “Rough Rider” son of his, Robert, are boarding on the North side and their home calls loudly for occupants. _, ‘Dr. H. P.
