just Such Clothes as They Wore Marrl.a
In Sixty Years Ago

Just ouch Slothes na They Wore Married
In Sixty Years Ago
A year ago last spring, says q Scran-
ton (Pa.) correspondent Of the Now
York Sun, Mrs. Henry b. Shetland, OF
Gibson township Susquehanna county,
said to her husband: Henry, we
ought to raise some flax this year"
The aged farmer hadn't raised q crop
OF FAX in ~thirty-nine years, so he
asked: what for, E~lizabethP" "lHell,
You know, Henry" replied the good
old wife, 'if we live till q year from
Juno We'll have been married sixty
years, and 1 thought it would be nice
TO give n party thcn and receive our
guests in the same kind of linen cloth
Ing we wore when we stood up to be
married down in Connecticut in 1888.
We've got all of the old flax tools
stored away, and if.you'll raise some
FAX, Henry, I'll spin md weave 1t and
make 4 nice homemade suit for eacL
of u.s."
Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and
his wife c~ighty-five ut the time. Both
were rugged and healthy, and when
the old farmer had thought the matter
over for n moment he exclaimed: "By
George, Elizabeth, I'll do It,"
a few days nfterwnrd the old farmer
prepared a piece of rich ground back
of the barn and sowcd n patch of FINK.
h aged couple watched it's growth
every day with anxiety Tho crop was
excellent and when it had got ripc In
the fall Farmer Shetland gathered Il.
beat the seeds from tho tops, md
spread the straw on the grass to rot.
In November he tiol it up in bundles
Inc packed it away In the barn.
On n beautiful sap morning in March
Farmer Shetland brought out the fax
n stood 1t up along tho south side Of
the barn. The wind was in the north
and i'll Il day or so the FAX was "a dry
as q bone. Then the old farmer broko
it. swinSlcd il, and turned II over T.
his aged wife, who Immediately tied
up her head, shut herself in the Eitch-
en- and hatcheled the fax till all the
ow was separated from II. The next
day she got the old spinning-wheel
from the garnet, oiled it up. and began
TO make it buzz musically. Farmer
shetland came in smiling and happy
while his wife was spinning.
I'D rather hear that wheel than a
piano, Elizabeth" he said. at is like
old timcS.r
SO itdoes, Henry. But I can't make
the wheel 60 as fast as I used to-"
In n few days the old lady had spun
all the flax and rcclcd it into skeins
The next thing she did WI to boil tho
s!Seins in q weak I've of wood nshes to
bleach the yarn, and when that wal
done Farmer Shetland ripsed the
s!teins in the brook till oil the I've was
ont. Mrs. Shetland began at onco to
n the yarn in the old loom, and by
juno l h had woven it oil into cloth.
Within three weeks the old lady
cut and made n frocls md apron for
herself and n whole suit for her hus-
Dand' n juno @G last the aged couple,
dressed in their homcspun linen gar
mcnts, celebrated the sixtieth amt
verssry of their marriage in O COM
