Sarah Barnwell Elliott, Writes Her
Stories In Log Cabin.

sothern university town, Sewanee,
stands the home of Sarah Barnweu Ell

see mountain life.
1t is a many-gabled cottage, peeping
out from gum and maple trees, now a
perfect blaze of color under a declining
November sun. Miss Elliott is the
daughter of many bishops. She was
born under the very aegis of ecclesias-
ticism, so to speak, being the daughter
of Bishop Stephen Elliott of Georgia,
sister of Bishop Robert Elliott, of
Texas, niece of the first missionary
bishop of China, Rt. Rev. William
Boone, and cousin of Bishop Boone, his
son.

concentrate here, so near the front
porch she says where in summer
the young nieces who come to visit me
occupy the hammocl1s and chatter like
magpies. Let me give you glimpse
of the place.
Miss Elliott led the way from the
front Of the house and pushed open the
blind of a rear window, admitting the
western sun hanging low amid the
over-arching trees. Across the ravine,
amid much intermingling color, the
squared logs OF the cabin showed them
selves.

This pretty bit OF folly in decoration
proves that trimmings are slipping
more and more to the front, and, as
natural CONSEQUENCE, all the hats that
don't flare, like badly careened ships
on one side, tip farther and farther, as
time goes on, over the eyes. These are
