OLD STAFFORDSHIRE CHINA 'e'ix.vs.g?'N A perfect child, my dearl An innocent! Believing for an instant that these amazing words were applied to him, George Krumholtz answered with a loud Hoof, back! and sent his wagon with a bang into the platform of the Myersville railroad station. His broad hat and short coat, his heavy beard and shaven upper lip, marked him as a Mennonite. He was already annoyed for various reasons-by the dry weather, by the threatened approach of the Jap- anese beetle, by quarantine officials of the State of Pennsylvania who halted his empty wagon for exami- nation. He was especially annoyed by a large automobile, parked in the space which he had intended to occupy, from which he could most comfortably roll into his wagon the tobacco cultivator he was expecting. Though he had conscientious scruples about smoking tobacco, he had none whatever about raising it. Nor had he any hesitation about standing up for his rights. The insulting voice, which was that of a woman, came from the large car. You take up too much room, he answered, loudly. You're entirely too much on the slant. l'm no child, I'm no innocent, and I, too, am a driverfl Vxlhen there was no answer, he looked sharply around. Two passengers sat alone in the car, the middle-aged lady who had spoken and a girl who might be her daughter. They were elegantly dressed, and at their feet stood handsome black satchels with locks and lettering which George took to be gold. Such a darling! cried the young girl with rapture. Though George could not reasonably apply this de- scription to himself, he sat as though the sound of it paralylzecl him. VVith the capll' said the middle-aged lady. And the kerchief! cried the girl. And the smile! And so sweet! PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN ART ' ,f-.gfx I'ennsyl1'ania is unique among the forty-eight states in so for as par! of its heritage is the possession of a rich folk art. Although there are regional folk arts in New England and the southern highlands, neither section may lay claim to the reflection of character and religions eontirlions fonnd in the folk art of the Pennsylvania Gerinans. By a series of plates showing the various design inotifs and furnishings of the Pennsylvania Gerinans, we hope to create an appreciation for the art and interpret its deeper symbolic meaning. Illustrated in this still life arrangement are son-ze coninion household furnishings, sneh as a laneware or tin coffee pot with a frnit, seed and leaf designg pottery made from local days, a bride lJo.r,' a woven cloth with fancy work and in the background a barn sign that signj.
