by score Of "a to 20.
We got awful cold goin' home. but when we
all piled out there was a big FIRE in the elevated
oven kitchen stove, the table was spread with
white cloth, and dandy supper ready, thanks to
Aunt Martha-eggs boiled just three and one
half minutes in the shell and sure the waters boil
in" says she; potatoes cut up fine, cooked in ham
grease and then cream poured over them, which
she knows so we'll how to fix; fresh apple sauce,
warm biscuit, honey, spioed peaches, and one
egg cake as light as a feather Aunt Martha in her
white dress, warming us all with her smile, bus
tin about, helping US kids off with our things and
giving US several helpin's of our favorite dishes
After supper teased ma to walk out TO the
pasture with me and see some new lambs that mad
come while we were gone TO Decoration Day, and
then while walkin' back l told her what I saw
about Aunt Martha. She just broke down and
cried and cried, and said she had never knew such
love and devotion. She made me promise not to
tell and l never have, nobody but you. But you
won't give It away, will you?
l have been thinkin' what ma said For the
life Of me, l can't see why Aunt Martnas dressin'
| up in Aunt Patiences widder's weeds, and goin'
out to the pump and hangin' a wreath Of ever
lastin' flowers on Henry Peters rusty old scythe
that has hung there for forty years, has anything
to do with love and devotion. Can you?
