Hawkins, 55 Sauk trail. Frontiersmen, cowboys and Indians stroll in front of the general store on Main street, while a desperado is escorted to jail by the sheriff.

Making its way to the village Is a covered wagon by oxen, which is under attack by Indians. Corrals of cattle dot the landscape. Meanwhile Santa ClaiA skis down a steep white slope of cotton in a rural section of the country. "Christmas trees and villages are my hobby," said Mrs. Hawkins.

"I have made villages every year since was 11 vears old." In the course of that time she has collected a vast stora of miniature Americana with which to work. A few years ago she built around the tree a scene depicting the history of iSauk trail. One year she pat- I terned the scene after the Brookfield zoo. Biblical history is another ot the topics in which Mrs. Hawkins is especially interested.

The scenes which she builds reflect an Imaginative, as well as a resourceful nature. In the den at the Hawkins home is a Biblical scene with Mary and Joseph fleeing Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus. The Wise Men on their camels flee in one direction while Mary and Joseph and their company take the opposite path. Actually Mrs. Hawkins had planned to build a manger scene in the den this Christmas.
