Know- i ing those to be her scutiments, the: ‘surprlse of the neighbers was unl bounded when it was learned that; Aunt Patsy had sent for two wood- cutters and had ordered them to chop down the oak tree three feet from the grouna. “A few days after the tree had been I felled and dragged away I was walk- ing past Aunt Patsy’s house with Walter Cralg. Craig was a man who { had managed my father's farm for several years, From the top of his head to the sole of his foot Craig| i presented a very peculiar appearance, i but his most striking single feature was his mouth. That organ was ! kept wide open day and night, sleep- ing or waking. As we neared the house we saw Aunt Patsy standing I at the front gate, We went up and stopped on the cther side. “‘Aunt Patsy,’ said Craig, ‘I don’t “I was never a strong advocate of the I The yard | cit mun a ,_,, x\l- T3 LIEND UNDERWEAR Crochet Needie, in Combination With Embroidery Frame, Will Be Found Moct Effective.

Every woman in Paris is wearing a corsage bouquet. Black velvet roses arc among the smartest. One phase of the Oriental tendency in this winter's fashions will show in tle exiensive use of red. sSome of the straight narrow skirts have tunics that break, and yet guard the straight slender lines.

Not but ot the best|what they're goin' to some day, for|adjustable collar. they are, but they'll have to bide my time." “Craig nodded respectfully. ‘And what you goin’ to do with the stump, Aunt Patsy? he asked. ‘You ought to have that drug up by the roots.’ “‘I oughtn't do anything of the kind,’ retorted Aunt Patsy, ‘I've made all my callations regardin’ that : | stump, and I certainly don’t cal'late to have it drug out.’ “That was in the fall. All winter the oak stump stood in Aunt Patsy's | (o e——s | front yard, bleak and drear, but early in the spring two men who were used to ‘clearing off' were called in for consultation, and Aunt Patsy gave them instructions to burn out the heart of the stump. A week later the only thing remaining of the prize oak was an outer shell about four inches thick. “‘I'm goin' to get some bees,’ said Aunt Patsy, when Craig and I stopped at her gate soon afterward and asked ‘I've nl\\nq | wanted a swarm, and I calllate turn this stump into a hive for 'em. I'll have the top roofed over. It | seems to me it'll be a real handy place “The following day Aunt Patsy went when she returned shie was provided Hnolq of whose use even the village | carpenter was ignorant. When the | first warm gpring days came Aunt | Patey began her work on the unique : beehive, For two weeks she labored, cutting and chiseling the hard wood l with rare skill and patience. By and by it became apparent that the side of the hive facing the turnpike was taking on the semblance of a human | face. Aunt Patsy smiled grimly when Craig leaned over the fence one night and asked her whose portrait she was carving. “‘It's the face of the man I'm goin’ to marry,’ she sald. “That report spread rapidly and thereafter Aunt Patsy's open-air | studio was thronged with people anx- | toue to discover through the linca- ments of the sculptured face some clue to the identity of the intended husband. I don't know anything about the work of professional sculptors, but we saw before us, as if in life, i the squinting eyes, the flaring ears, the high forehead and the gaping mouth of Craig. My bare feel scarce- ly touched the turnpike as I ran home to tell the news. I found Craig out back of the orchard plowing. “‘Craig,’ I gasped, ‘it's you. Aunt Patsy has been carving ycur face. It's you she's going to marry.’ “Craig dropped the lines and his ! mouth fiew wider open than ever. “*She’s left your mouth npen just like that,’ I screamed. ‘She says that's { where the bees are to go in at.’ ! “Craig said never a word {then. He loft the horses stan {in the furrow an< von out to the pike ,and started towaid Aunt Patsy’s on { the lope. It was past noon when he returned. i “‘It's all up with me,’ he said, sol ‘emnly. ‘It does look like me.
