(UPI) -Along the main street of town, a thick - set, moon - faced man English Woman Made Popular by Christmas Cards The spirit of the Christmas season once flowed throughout the world from the home of a slight, shy English woman who has been all but forgotten by the world to which she gave so much. , ; Her name was Kate Greena- way, a noted artist of another century whose works inspired the habits, clothing and feeling of her day, not only in England but in America and on tne unv tineni as well. Miss Greenaway, born in 1846, began copying after her father, a wood engraver, in her early years. By the time she was 17 she won her first are prize a bronze medal for six ceramic tile designs. Soon to follow were magazine speech es; children's books with both verses and sketches by Miss Greenaway; almanacs and, for six or seven years, a multitude of Christmas cards that vault ed her into great popularity. Dressed in Styles Children, and especially their clothing, were Miss Greena way s favorite art suojects. uy 1883, when a "Kate Greenaway Boom" was in full sway, cnu dren on both sides of the Atlan tic were dressed in styles in spired by her designs, which included ruffles, frills and laces for little girls; and rougher hewn knickers, Jackets and suits for boys. The designs were so popular that they were reproduced on many items including calen dars and carols; in books and on decorative ceramic tiles used to surface the facings and mantles of large English fireplaces, much as decorated American tiles are used on fire places today. Miss Greenaway died in No vember,-1901, still a quiet and unassuming women who never theless had become England's most famous woman artist. To-" day there are occasional men tions of her in collectors ana antique journals, but a New York dress shop that sells chil dren's clothing patterned after her designs is the lone "living" reminder of her great talents.

Billie Sol Estes, 39-year-old "wheeler-dealer" In norlcnllni-al products, Is still a free man, although sentences of at least 15 years in prison hang over his head. He's free nn hnnrf pending appeals. ine presence of Estes on the streets of Abilene causes no stir. He and his wire Pntou onH th-i- five children live quietly in a spacious, spin level nouse in the fashionable Castle Drive in southeast Abilene. The house is on a lake. 'The Estes moved here a few months back after a sniper fired a rifle bullet through the front window of their former home in Pecos, Tex. Officially Bankrupt Billie Sol, now officially bank rupt and owing the federal gov ernment $10 million in back taxes, occupies his time with the "International Love and Goodwill Corp." (ILGC), a non profit group dedicated to help ing "the needy of all races." It is most active in Ohio, Ten nessee and Georgia. The Estes family attends the College Church of Christ in Ab ilene but Billie Sol is not active himself. When he goes to church it is usually at his own church, The Church of Christ at Clyde, Tex., 15 miles east of Abilene, where Estes was born and where his parents still live. Two weeks ago, Billie Sol took the Fifth Amendment 26 times in declining to tell congression al investigators anything about the collapse of his $150 million agricultural empire in grain storage, cotton allotment and fertilizer storage tank business. Those were the days when the Estes mansion in Pecos boasted a built-in waterfall in a 50-foot living room, imported palm trees and a ' front lawn kept green by dye, plus a swimming pool and a barbecue capable of roasting two steers at once. . Roof Falls In On March 29, 1962, the roof fell in. Estes was arrested and charged with mail fraud and conspiracy. He was subsequent ly sentenced to eight years in prison in a state court at Ty ler, Tex., on charges of swind ling a farmer. Repercussions of the case quickly reached Washington and provoked a congressional inves tigation. Today Estes, looking thinner and more solemn than when he was a farm empire king, oc-. casionally drops by a Negro church to teach a Bible class. Estes' lawyers have forbid den him to talk about business but he will say he feels he has changed. "Business and money aie no longer my Gods," he said. r COSTUME A gifted pair - the lapercd slacks with coordinated pullover! The slacks feature a contour waistband and hidden side zipper.
