as fast as possible after sundown.
Her pigeons. too. all have their names,
and she talks to her flowers. There Is an
orange plant. with fruit on it, which she
believes IS valuable. and an oieander
which she has had for twenty-seven
years. In the winter, for warmth. the
plants and the birds and the old lady all
live together in one room while she makes

Last spring she learned she must leave
her old house and the little garden. The
neighbors are not hard-hearted. nor are
the owners Of the property. but people
around Valley Stream are not wealthy.
There Is no Episcopal church In Valley
Stream. The nearest is "a struggling mis-
sion in Lynbrook. Gladly. though. they
gave her So She made deposit on a
house and wrote to the only connections
who might help her. She never received
an answer and lost the deposit.
III God had Just helped me a little bit
more that time. perhaps ! could have had
a place to 30" she said.
But real estate has become too valu-
able around Valley Stream. People cam
not afford TO give a house and garden
without rent So she waited in the old
house, day by day, hunting around the
neighborhood for some place TO go.
II can be pretty patient. but Il does
seem very slow. / don't want TO become
a public charity. / can support myself If
could only get where / could sell my
plants" she said, the other day.
The mission pastor Of LynbrooS. the
Rev. p. c. Creveing, does not believe this
possible. but the old lady resented it.
Il may be 76, but I feel as young as ]
did at 1s can take care Of myself" sho
says
Some OF tho neighbors agree that n she
could be started somewhere else she
might be able TO support herself by means
OF a garden in the sumner and sewing in
the winter.
IT'S only the rent" said the old lady;
1T won't take much to feed me-"
An appeal has been made In her behalf
TO the patriotic societies because OF her
grandfather's service during the .Revolu-
ton. Unfortunately. Long Island has no
claim on the wealthy New York state or
ganization, and her case goes TO the Long

comparatively small. and its income en-
tirely devoted TO charitable work. is
pledged in several directions already.
