Have you ever been to an apple butter bee?"
 If you don't know what that is you have missed a charming bit of country color and-er-delicious flavor.
 Don't you like apple butter?
 Certainly you do-the kind your grand mother used to make and pack away in stone crooks with branded paper on top,
 Well, the beginning of that apple butter maybe was an apple butter bee.
 Some people call it apple butter boiling, but Peggy and I like 'bee" better.

 From their shadows" Peggy confided to me, "I would say her head is on his shoulder"
 "Then they've made up!'' I shouted.
 ''H-u-s-h!' Peggy exclaimed. "They're so interested they may forget to stir the apple butter.
 Doesn't matter if it all burns,' I de- clared For heavens sake don't disturb people when they are making up.
 Two hearts with but a single thought sighed Peggy. feeling that a reply, no matter how inane, was expected of her. And that thought not apple butter"

 Old ladies were quilting things on the
