can't imagine how 1t hurts one to
think OF the county house"
When asked to tell something OF her
early life, Mrs. McGlynn frightened.
Those were happy days, and through
ell my later struggles and hardships
it's always been pleasant to think that
at least I've had my share OF the good
things of life.
Il was born In Ireland. but came
TO Quebec with my parents, and there
married John McGlynn when | was
i6. | was good looking. too. We had
fine wedding. and l rode in a car
riage drawn by four horses. For
eight days the festivities lasted, We
danced and sang and Toasted.
Misfortunes Piled Up.
Later, we came TO Detroit, and
here we prospered. Seven children
came TO us, and everything went well,
but sickness finally visited our home.
One by one my children died, and Is
years ago my husband was taken from
me. The only child that | knew was
living was Edward, and he had good
position in Louisville.
The doctors and undertakers' bills
came thick and fast, until my home
was mortgaged and then that went
with the rest | tried to keep my
courage. and did until my health
failed-until saw the poorhouse star
/ ing me in the face. Then | felt
could never live, but | did not want
my son to know that was holding
out my hand for crust.
ssI CT
thought could earn my living again,
rather than stay in the city where no
one would notice the sorrows OF
Widow McGlynn. Several trips I've
had to make out here, and was almost
discouraged, when the news comes
that there was money left, enough 10
care for me until the end.
Story Of Wealth pazes Her.
Il was dazed. You don't know what
II means TO have to ask for something
TO eat. for the clothes that cover you
and then hear that you may have
money enough to keep you In comfort
the rest OF your days.
zone thing sure, IL thft money
comes. I'll pay debts that | owe. What
said about going to Paris was per-
haps only a joke, but for all that, I'm
fond OF nice clothes. as old as ! am,
and I'd like to dress up once again
as | did when | was girl. for then
every one told me was good looking.
Il can make no plans until j am
sure the money will come, but if 1t
does. | know the old people out here'll
have a feast.
Relics Of Other Days.
However it's not been so bad here.
See | kept q few things that reminded
me that / had some pleasure to think
Of II there was nothing TO look for
ward to- and she pointed to her sill
yer knife, fork and spoon. also sill
yer cup that she uses at Eloise, in
stead OF the ones provided by the
home.
Mrs. McGlynn was quite elated that
so many people were calling on her,
and RECALLED her companions with stor
les OF the photographer coming TO take
her picture.
Il was so embarrassed when | was
told that the gentleman wanted to take
my picture" said She Il was lying
down on my bed In my wrapper, SO OF
course, had to put on my good waist
fresh tie and try TO look something
as | did years ago. II any OF my
friends should see my picture, would
not want them to say | didn't look
we'll"
Mrs. McGlynn expects to stay at
Eloise until she Is certain that the
money will come 10 her. and then will
take time to decide on her future
