She's a pretty little thing, with
Dresden doll face, slim fingers,
red mouth that Is quick TO pout or
TO smile.
That's what drew Henry, who
was nearly twice her age when they

That's what drew Foster Kelly to
forget everything for her.

thing thoughtful about her face
that wasn't there before. Mostly
that's the children. The children
have sobered her, steadied her,
will help her grow to be woman.
For at 26 Iva May Henry is still a
child.
