Mrs. Shorter was tidying up her plants
that morning. There was small litter
of discarded leaves about the bay win
dow. and the air had the faint earthly
odor arising from newly watered plants.
She knew each one as if it were a child
of her own rearing. and loved it almost
as well. Mrs. Shorter had never had
any children, and all her interests in
life perhaps. had been a trihe incense

Mrs. Hopkins came in. Mrs. Hopkins
lived Just across the grass plot. and her
bay window looked into Mrs. Shorter's.
It. too. was filled with plants. Indeed.
Mrs Hopkins had been at work there
when she saw Mrs. Shorter. and she had
run across to exchange the latest plant
news
Good morning-good morning" said
Mrs Shorter, cordially. Isn't this sun
shine grand for plants, Matilda? How's
yours coming on? just slip up here and
look at my house rose. It's just as full
with my begonia. And. say, have you
got a petunia that's doing any better
than that?
Matilda Hopkins glowered. She was
little sharp-nosed woman with FUCKERS
around her closely held mouth. There
was not a blossom OF the promise -o9
blossom in her plants and Mrs. Shorter
knew it. She was glorying over her
neighbor and her manner was proudly
maternal as she turned pink petunia
round so that it would show off to the
best advantage.
Your plants are doing well," Mrs
Hopkins admitted. grudgingly. II just
thought I'd run over. Martha. and ask
what you used on 'em to make EN- SO

you don't want me to know. You're
afraid maybe mine would Guido yours.
You've got kind of reputation for max

jealous of it. That's the sure sub
stance of it" She turned toward the
door
Mrs. Shorter looked after her in
astonshment. Matilda Hopkins had al
ways been hard person to get along

proud to say she had none. She had

she went to Mrs. Hopkins. When she
