in the morning she took her pan
of suds and the polishing cloth and
stood in chair to wash the windows.
She would begin in the kitchen, she
thought, and go clear around 10 the
parlor. She tried to pull out the old
fashioned spring OF the upper sash,
but it would not yield.
Olive said her mother, Joseph

might have been the old lady's son and
Olives brother, so kind and true had
he always been TO these two.
Olive stood oil a chair on the in
side and Joseph on the ladder outside.

the glass, and the two scrubbed away
with soap and polish. What was left
of smoke and frost yielded to double
persuasion, and Joseph called from

olive, scrutinizing closely, called

She did not notice that Joseph was

He rubbed away at the filmy place,
and then called again: 1T isn't quite
clear down in that corner"
Olive polished away on her side
catching Joseph's eye full of a light
that shot right through the obscurity
and made her remember the text Of the
New Year sermon-"Now we see
through glass darkly."
Around the house went the two,
Olive on the inside and Joseph on the
outside, and only the last perlor win
dow was left. The morning had sped
away like CLINT of sunshine from
