to hear. All about me were the choir

very graciously invited me inside.
To my pleased amazement, the barn
was not a barn but a home, consisting
Of one large room. There were four
small windows and at each one was
curtain Of pretty gingham. In one cor
ner Of the room was a bed and in the
middle Of the bed was real baby fast
asleep. In another corner was small
table and colored cloth and two plain
chairs. There was a large fireplace
and an old.fashioned iron kettle hang

rockers-in the corner by the door
was a high box on which was wash

road.-tbe woods were behind and

We talked most of the afternoon and
about such things as happiness and
contentment-there were no neighbors
