years. Like her, they were school

swered Aunt Emily, opening the
oven door and taking out a pan Of

She emptied them out upon a

Sally, why, this is a feast!''
She knew that her aunt expect
ed her to say that. Aunt Emily
was always apologizing for the
meals she set upon her table,
knowing full well that they were
wonderful meals. She liked to be
told that they were feasts and
that there was no cooking in thu
world like her cooking.
There were cucumber rings, a.
plate Of sugar cookies, half OF an
almond-cream cake on the little
table in the dining room now, be-
sides the chicken, the rolls and the
iced tea.
Il suppose I'd better ask her to

Aunt Emily's house was
quaint old house far out on the
River road. 1t had belonged in
the Jerome family for more than
SO years.
Outside it was all Sveather
beaten clapboards and loose-hinged
shutters. But within 1t was
bright and clean, with its creamy
woodwork. its gay-hooked rugs. its
flowerpots and crisp muslin cur
tains.
Sally often said to herself that
the inside of Aunt Emily's house
must be very like the inside of
Aunt Emily's soul - shining and
cheerful.
1t always gave her a sense of
peace and comfort, somehow, to
turn in at the gate and start up
the tagged walk to the door, with
it's fan-light and its brass knocker.
Tonight the door stood hospita-
bly, open and beyond the wide
old-fashioned haH was filled with
shadows, as she walked into it.
''Yoo-hoop' she called, and from
behind the closed door Of the
kitchen Aunt Emily's voice
answered her family, like an echo:
"Yoo-hoo"
Then she came with q rush to
greet her, and gave her a quick
little necking kiss on each cheek.
