A New Art— Dried Apple Sculpture 



A faithful por- 

 trait of Harbe 

 Hawkes and his 

 "ole woman." 

 He raises "ta- 

 ters" while she 

 patches quilts. 

 Both are a little 

 rheumatic, but 

 otherwise "mid'- 

 lin', thank ye" 



A "^ type often 

 met ^th in the 

 mountains of 

 the South. She 

 makes rag car- 

 pets and lye 

 soap for a living 

 and is saving to 

 buy a set of store 

 teeth — a won- 

 derful luxury 



Miss Isabel Million, of Knox- 

 ville, Tenn., reproducing her "Po' 

 white" mountain acquaintances 

 from dried apples. How she pre- 

 vents the apples from wither- 

 ing further after she has carved 

 them is Miss Million's own secret 



I Press lUus. Serv. 



Tobe Lemons of 

 Smokey Cove 

 has a misery in 

 his "chist" 

 which prevents 

 him from mak- 

 ing an honest 

 living. He is 

 just strong 

 enough to ped- 

 dle whiskey 



It is wonderful 

 the amount of 

 expression and 

 the detailed his- 

 tory which these 

 little figures re- 

 veal. Here is 

 the village seam- 

 stress going to 

 church dressed in 

 "Simday" clothes
