NElGHBORS.
touuyr,sns, 1914, b. ". Werner,

Although Ma Haralds apple orchard
euuched Mra Oskison's pasture, the two
seldom saw each other except at church.
Both were widows and both were child
iess. but there all resemblance ended.
Mrs. Harald was tail. slender. serious
and reserved. Mrs. Osl.ison was short,
fat, ta1kative and gushy.
It was not Mrs. Oskison's fault that
the two did not visit each other often.
When she first came to the outskirts
Of the staid old Ohio town she had
reached out gushily for a welcome from
every one. She was 30 willing to be
friendly that she defeated her purpose.
The members Of the church which she
Joined called upon her and allowed her
to help at socials and picnics, but they
never TOOK her in a. one Of themselves.
Especially reserved was Mrs. Harald.
She openly said that she did not like
her, and Mrs. Harald was an authority.
People followed her lead. Because Mrs.
Harald was afraid Of being annoyed by
a neighbor who might presume upon
friendliness, the other women held the
rather dowdy woman at arms length.
It took some time to make Mrs. Osld-
son understand. At first 1t was difficult
for the women OF the church to persist.
She was very generous with donations.
"Baying q social position, I SUPPOSE"
laughed again at the righteousness Of
such an evident desire on Mrs. Oskison's
part to share In the small unimportant
society OF the town. There were no
social godnes-on there. People were SIM
ply friends. It was a small, unpro-
gressive town. There were few poor
people, % her generosity was more easily
disregarded. But when every one had
called upon her and she had repaid such
courtesy with eager, gushing haste they
took their time for the second call. And
they took more time for the third.
And the fourth some didn't pay at all.
Among the latter was MrR Harald.

But Mrs. Oskison didn't collapse.
She said hopefully that they were not

second floor, and then carry baskets

the attic. She was SO gushily cheer
