entertain the small crowds which
gathered from tenement and alley

city. Sallie sometimes sang for the
truckmen after their horses were
turned out for the night. The big
policeman on the corner always
came over and applauded longest

Salvation Army quartet invited
Sallie to sing with them. Later on,
Sallie found work caring for the

in the suburbs. She sang her songs
to the baby, and when the baby

"HierosOlyma est pedita" (Jerusa-
