MISS SALLY LOOKED OVER HER sPECTACLEs
and enjoy her mail, for her letters were
few and far between, and when three were
handed to her at once they signified an
event in her humdrum, monotonous exist
ence
Miss Sally was poor and old and plain.
She lived alone in little weather beaten
cottage on quiet street in quiet country
town. The cottage was stained by the
storms of many years, but over its humble
porch trumpet flowers Haunted their
gorgeous blossoms, and the Virginia creep
er wantoncd in luxurious profusion In
the narrow windows geraniums, fuchsias,
pinks and wax plants stood in brightly
polished tin cans and bits of broken crock
cry. Everything within the house was
scrupulousy neat and tidy. Miss Sally's
sewing machine glittered and shone like
some petted steam engine. 1t was almost
human to the lonely old maid. She ear led
her bread and butter by it. 1t was her sole
companion. She loved it's whir and clat-
ter. She talked and visited with it. She
anointed it with oil and polished it with
chamois skin until she could almost see
her kind old face reflected in its shining
surface.
Miss Sally had not always been poor and
oiu anu plaln. Inere had Ceen day when
she was young and pretty, the favored
belle of the little village, the daughter of
we'll to do parents. But they long since
had lain down to their last sleep, leaving
no heritage to their child With the years
had flown Miss Sally IS beauty and spright-
ly ways She was now only an old maid
scamstrcss, living alone with her flowers
and Ecr sewing machine.
But Miss Sally's heart was all right
She vas not an imbittered busybody, acid,
garrLlous and envious. Wherever sickness
crcpt with dreaded tread went Miss Sally
with soothing hands, low voice and rare
knowledge of roots and herbs. Were
'watchers" needed to sit through the aw-
tul night by the side of a .sheeted frozen
form, Miss Sally was never wanting.
When the annual donation party came off
for the elder" and his family, which be-
gan at noontide and extended to the mid
night watches, Miss Sally stood in the
front of the battle and baked, cooked and
washed dishes until she was ready to drop.
If thero was any disagreeable or exacting
neighborhood duty to be performed, Miss
Sally was never found Sinking.
Every small country place has Miss
Sally, self constituted, self ordained sis
ter of mercy, to whom with one accord
all turn in times of trouble and extra cares
Il don't know nothin how I'd manage
TO live, said her next door neighbor, Mrs.
lIzra Hobart, "ef 'twan't fur Miss Sally.
Ell my yeast don't rise, eff the hens don't
