' THE STORY

She was old, her appetite was small, her wants modest, and both appetite and wants could be stinted a. little. Not that she called it stintingl She called it "handling."

What did she want, st her age, with all those glasses and Jars of fine, rich home-made jellies and fruits? Why it was sheer extravagance, wasting such fineness on a little old shrlveled- up woman like Auntaimiry-extrsv- sgance, no has. 5c she had taken it, all her precious store, s. little at a time, over to town and sold it. In- deed the shops were very glad to Set such quality, and gave her a gocd price for it,

And she had other things, taco, things she never used, things that were. Just vanity for an old woman to keep in a drawer, and look at some- times, and fondle lovingly, and show off to admiring visitors, fins bits of lace, silken scsrfs, delicate embroid- eries, old gold pins, gifts that had been brought to her by friends, peo- ple who loved her, returning from trips to the city and tours abroad, from the Orient, from Italy, Paris. Why should she keep those delicate and lovely things just because she

No one would ever know. Gay wouldn't tell.

And then she acknowledged her need of Gay. The Apple Tree was so small, so crowded. Gay had offered the use of the Lone Ripe for a party. Had she made the offer in good faith? "Because," she said, "there's no room to dance in the Apple 'I‘ree." Oh, yes they danced at Aunts!- mlryk party. It began at five o'clock. the party for the sake of the babies, and the smaller children, of whom there seemed to be disproportionate- ly many. So it was a baby's party first, when the tree was liahicned, and the children danced about it with their candies and nuts and fruits and ' gifts. and there was a noisy champing SB-HE' Claus.

And then, very early, fior th esnow was always heavy and the night cold, the parents trundled the babies away 110111610 bed and the others stayed on and danced. “Danced" Auntal- miry said joyously, "until two, three, and last year until four o'clock in the owning. Think of it, until four-J’

CREWS FOR- WINTER. FISHING ARE SCARCE

PORTLAND, Me., Jan., 18.—Maine still has a goodly number of wooden ships and iron men. but. while the for- mer may be sound and trim, most of the latter it would appear. are veter- ans grown old in the service of the. sea. Fishing skippers of this port will tell you it becomes more difficult year by year to secure crews for their winter fishing ventures. The younger generation of fishen-nen are slowly but surely laying courses away from the sea. From‘ April to November they enjoy the life in the open and the independence of earning a. living by trawling or lobstering from small,

00m boats. But when the icy blasts slrt to sweep the North Atlantic they show reluctance to board the ﬂeet of auxiliary schooners which trawl out of this port. This winter only a hand- ful of the approximate 500 Hampton boats of Casco Bay era ID0011112115- sion.
