Family Reunions A family reunion at Lille, Fiance, which was attends! fcfh-377 persons, was. regarded as so extraordinary an event trt the news has been cabled to American newspapers. Js stuted' that if all the relatives had been present they fyftild have numbered 951. But the impressiveness of it in finished for us when we learn that the number include:! (tfjthe descendants" a-, man who.was married .in. 1865. Atmost anybody could claim a family connection equally Urge if he numbered among his kinsman all the descen dants of an ancestor seven or eight generations back. However, this Trench reunion was notable in that it was neia at me mime oi a couple wun la children. I ntnee i i..u ,, ill i., jm.K ,., is much interested in this big family because small fami leis are the rule there and apprehension is felt over the de clining birthrate and the fact . that the population is al most standing still. Family reunions in the United States with attendance of 300 are by no means uncommon. Moreover, our re unions are generally of the descendants of "an ancestor not more than three or. four generations, removed; for most Americans know littlo or nothing of their family tree;; beyond their great-grandparents. ' r 'It.Tna'y'be that ,ii fiundrerf'years hence wo sluuTTie as much excited its the French over a gathering of .",00 blood relatives. 'For among the native American stock the birth rate has shown a remarkable decline in recent years. I!en- " THE OLD HOME TOWN "', .-. .'
