There are few village smithy
shops today under the chestnut
trees. One reason
A Village is that there aren’t
Blacksmith any more chestnut
trees. Another is
that the motor car is rapidly
driving horses and vehicles drawn
by horses out of business.
I used to think that in fifty
years or more practically all the
village smithies would disappear.
But lately I have learned better.
Here in a little coast town in
Maine is a village blacksmith who
has more work than he can do,
though he has probably not shod
a horse or repaired an agricul-
tural implement in twenty years
or more.

For a time after the “devil wa-
gons” began crowding horses and
horse drawn vehicles off the road,
he had little to do.
Then one day he saw some or-
namental grill work that had been
sent to his town to be used as an
adornment on a new building.'
He examined' it carefully, then
went home and thought a little.
“There is no reason in the world
why I cannot do that kind of
work,” he said to himself. “I will
do it, by Gosh.”
Today the children still “love to
see his flaming forge and hear the
bellows blow.”
Over the anvil on which he used
to fashion horse shoes he makes
beautiful things of steel and iron.
Visitors seeing him at work have
Plenty of Comfort in
This Youthful Culotte
Pattern No. 1922-B
The perfect antidote for blister-
ing, hot days is this cool, clever-
ly-designed culotte for bicycling,
riding, beach, housework; for
tearing through the woods, or
running down the street to the
grocer’s.
Designed for plenty of action
and comfort, it fits snugly at the
waist by .adjustable laced ribbons
at each side, with the same fea-
ture repeated in the blouse front.
A becoming boyish collar and
handy pocket create charming ef-
fects.- The pattern is so easy to
follow, you can cut two at once
using printed cotton, gingham,
broadcloth, seersucker or linen at
an expense even lower than your
budget provides.
Barbara Bell Pattern No.
1922-B is available for sizes 12,
14,’ 16, 18 and 20. Size 14 re-
quires 412 yards of 39 inch ma-
terial. Send 15 cents in coins., ■

come in to inquire if his handi-
work was on sale.
He assured them that it cer-
tainly was, and that more of the
same kind of work would be in
evidence as soon as there was a
demand for it.
He is known today all over the
state, and in many other states,
whose residents have bought his
work.
And if he had the advertising
gift that some people have he
would have a wide reputation.
But not, I am sorry to say, a
great business.
For his work is artistry, and
cannot be done in quantity over a
single anvil.
* * *
It cannot be said of him that he
is another Benvenuto Cellini. He
works in iron, not in silver and
gold.
But he is a master craftsman,
which he never might have be-
come had he not been forced by
changing conditions to become
something besides the village
blacksmith.
I saw him at work the other +
morning on a pair of beautiful
andirons.
I asked him what they cost.
“A lot of time,” he said.
“Yes, but how much money?”
“Oh, not so much. But the fel-
low I’m making them for isn’t
rich so I wouldn’t like to charge
him too much.”
And there was proof that he
really had the soul of an artist.
