into panels, is TO be five feet IN depth,

Miss Oakley is one Of a trio of tai

Villanova Her name is associated
with those Of Miss Jessie Wilcox Smith
and Miss Elizabeth Shipper Green,
the three having leased the picturesque
old inn, which was once a famous
rOadhouse. and made a workshop of
the barn at the rear of the main build
ing.
Each Of the three has her special
work, but Miss Oakley, unlike her
companions, has not confined herself
to illustration only. 1t is in mural de-
sign and in stained glass work that
she excels. Her decorations in the
Church OF All Angels in New York,
placed her name among the leading
artists in that line of work The de-
sign consisted of an altarpiece in mo-
saic-a study of the Ascenslon-wfth

The natives of Patagonia were prob

1920. He and his men called them
'Patagon," or big feet from which

Tramp Gets Fortune.

Dame Fortunes tickle ways have
been illustrated once more by the
case of a yagrant reported from vi
emma. A vagrant named StoeIler was
found last January, half frozen, at
Buda-Pesth. He came from Agram,
where he had often been punished for
misdemeanOrs, and ultimately he was
expelled from Buda-Pesth. There has,
however, arrived from Agram an ad-
yocate to ask on behalf of StoeIler
that the order for his expulsion be
cancelled, as he has inherited a for
tune Of $15O00O from an uncle at
Salzburg. Stoeller begs to be allowed
to settle in Buda-Pesth, and promises
to conduct himself properly in the fu-
ture.
