but IL was sometimes n struggle to pay

Then. when the children were oil
grown up and two Of them married. the
other one earning his own living in

great deal more than she had ever cx-
pected to have in this world.

able TO do before.
They would have bought automo
b;les. fur coats. costly gowns. beautiful
