HoNESpUN LINEN TREASURES
Great Stores of Garnents ana KsP. chiefs Preserved by Women
 in Eas< Pennsylvania.


 Mrs. Eashore of III frilled night caps, A calico sun bonnets, 53 calico and gingham aprons, 27 homespun che misses, 56 calico handkerchiefs and variety of other articles of female at- tire was nothing unusual in the hin dis tricts of East Pennsylvania. Nearly every elderly woman there takes pride in the handmade garments she ac- cumulates. An elderly resident of Mil iersburg has six large drawers filled with handmade linen garments she had spun out of flax and made up in the last 50 years, says the New York Sun.
 These old women in the hill districts live with their children and have very little to do. All have spinning wheels and they are experts i1 the manipula- tion of flax. Here and there are ancient looms to weave their linen thread. The old women have nimble fingers for drawing threads, for knitting, for crocheting and for sewing. Their de- signs are primitive.
 Thousands of substantial linen gar ments, yellow with age, can be found in a days travel hereabouts if the vis- itor is known. The old women would not think of parting or selling with anything they make. Their bandiwork is we'll preserved and looked over once a month. on a Sunday while the others are at church.
 The old women do not care so much if they haven't thousands of dollars to bequeath to their heirs, if they have some instances the old women have each article marked with slip of pa per. upon which is written: This is for Mary Ann" "This is for Jacob for Sarah Eliza. for little Maggie, for Ma linda Almaretta, and so on. In the case of Mrs. Bashore all her accumulated wearing apparel was willed to her four nieces. Not long ago old Mrs. Swensen died. She left seven drawers filled with linen sheets, pillow cases and large variety of old linen bomespun gar ments. When the first drawer was opened a card was found on which was written: All in this drawer goes to Tillie." Tillie was her daughter. Every drawer contained such a card. and one written line showed to whom it was to go. Yet every heir was specially en- joined by note found in the old lady's Bible that Not stitch is to be sold of what I freely give, because my fingers have made these articles only for you, my dear"
 With few exceptions such articles are rarely used, but are held as keepsakes. Some young housewives can show drawers full of homespun linen which has been handed down from genera ton. Some of the linen is worn through at the folds. The other day aged Re- becca Akers died. Each of her three daughters received two drawers of linens. Nearly all the garments are made on pattern common century ago. The towels and sheets are coarse homespun, home bleached and wide of hem.
 An oddity are the long gray wool stockings knit by the old women in the style in revolutionary days. Some of the hosiery was so large that the stock ings could be worn over the shoes in snowy weather. It is a common thing to find linen burial shroud in old women's effects. they having made their grave habiliments with their own hands years ago, including stockings, gloves and cap.
