Miss Rhoda Phipps was quite equal
to the task of taking care of the old
people. A strong woman helped her
in the kitchen, and there were neigh
bors near by who were ready to do
extra work. Job, the good middle
aged man who had taken care of the
horses for many year. was no mean
hand at household as well as stable
service, and at this special Thanks
giving season Miss Rhoda kept them
all busy until the pantries were piled

stayed at home to take care of them.
