THE NEIGHB0RHOOD QUEEN

By Alice MacHarg Feril
There's the loveest lady just the wayl-
And many a marvel I've
OF people and things that fine in their day.
But none like our neighborhood queen.
She's not of the regular heroine stuff
Of which the late models made,
Although it is true that need them enough
And proudly their virtues parade
She sits by the door with her knitting book,
And greets with welcoming smile
lively remark, and mischievous look,
The friends who may tarry while.
And yet, to the end of her wisdom and wit,
Her sallies of humor and sense
You listen in vain for the least little bit
Of fun at another's expense.
She finds the sins of the old and the young
A perfectly fitting excuse
She turns deaf to the gossiping tongue,
And silences words of abuse.
Her highpillared porch seems a temple to
Where she, like priestess awaits,
Absolving, dispensing benevoence free
To all who may enter her gates
