And now with an impulsive desire

and wrote her mother a long letter,
telling her many things about the

spring clothes. and about their day in
the ccuntTy- with the Baldwins last
Sunday.
Helen knew her mother loved 20
hear OF al the little details Of her life
and she felt that she had been very
selfish in not writing. About the dress
and hat she wrote guardedly-said she
would start out as soon as she could

But after she had mailed the letter
she kept on thinking of her mother
her generous, self-sacrificing mother
whose life in that small western town
was after all very narrow, and there
was in il little of change or pleasure.
And Helen resolved that even
though the hat and dress cost much
more than $50, even though she must
pay for plainness much in excess OF
that, still she would pay it herself and
say nothing. rather than have her
mother disappointed in her very
modest and natural desire for lone
good white dress and little close
