the table and ,pread it before PolIy'S
lounge, aud before long we rat down to a
10 " breakfast. Thee was ever 10 much
left, though.
Finally about ten O'Clock we went
away, and after we were gone Polly re-
ceivcd the very best present OF all from
her mother, You zee it worried her
most to death that she could not help
her mother. 1t was one thing that kept
her back. And Mrs. Stevens had taken
specimens of her knitting around to la
dies who had little children, and had got
orders for pretty bright stockings for
| them enough to keep Polly busy all
winter. Each lady had furnished her
own yarn, and there was a pile of lovely
cOlOred yarns for her to begin on.
Polly could knit beautifully, and do
believe the prospect Of earning some
thing to help her mother was the best
present she had that day.
In the evening when | was on my way
u a Christmas party at Nells, ! passed
by PolIy's, and the curtain was not quite
drawn. / couldn't help just peeping in.
Shcrc she lay half up on her elbows, a
book in her hand, but not reading, look
ing at nothing, with the most lovely,
happy look ever saw. I've often wished
| had Il picture Of her.
We were careful not TO neglect Polly
after that. From that day she was the
happiest girl | ever saw, busy from morn
ing 10 night, knitting or reading or re-
pcating poetry, which she learned 10y the
page. She earned n good deal of money,
and she knit 70 beautifully that she al.
ways had lots of orders ahead. Now her
mother knits too, and takes in some
work, but does not 60 out any more. !
don't know any happier or nicer place to
visit than Polly Stevens.
Think that Christmas was the incest
one | ever had,-Ohrr Wor"c, IN ST..
