"The old home has weathered, the years so wonderfully--it is in perfect condition, It hope it won't have to be torn Mrs.

Smith said, "I still hope that it may be kept as.a club or a music conservatory, or for some similar purpose. -but ft It has outlived Its usefulness, I suppose it must go, like all things- -and all persons, too." So, while the auctioneer's hammer sounds the knell that disperses the treasures of Oak Hall, the old house -itself faces that uncertain fate that comes to all such places.
