> Mrs. James r. Plumb was q great
woman.
She had brains. she had good taste
she had education. she was kind and
loving and understanding.
She was the wife OF the minister
in a little country town.
And everybody loved her. and
honored her. and the town was
proud OF her.
She could read Caesar in the origi-
nal-she could talk about the con-
stellations and the comets. She wrote
poetry. YES she ven wrote music.
And she could sing the quaintest
old ballads-Enelish and Scotch-aIl
about Cruel Barbara Allen and Sweet
Highland Mary and Jane. My Pretty
Jane. We used TO wonder how we
eve got along at all without that
darling OF a Mrs. Plumb who knew
what 70 do when the bahv swallowed
a safety pin and how to stop a burn
from burning, and what not 10 say
10 a timid old lady from the country.
But one day a committee from the
Ladies Aid Society went 10 see Mrs.
Plumb and they found her in her
little garden picking sweet peas.
They couldn't believe their eyes. be
cause as they wen past the house
they looked into the kitchen win

dishes-yes and the luncheon dishes
too-you could tell by the spoon
standing IN the sink as II no 4 had
ever heard OF such a thing as 4
dishcloth or 8 tea towel
From that minute on Mrs. Plumb
al an outcast.
Oh, yes. people spoke 70 her and
she was invited 70 parties and socia-
bles and things. but there was some
thing about her. as IN someone had
drawn an awful circle around her
and accommodated her from the
honest companionship OF human
kind.
She was a good woman, she had
proved II a hundred times, but-she
let the dishes stand IN the sink. for
hours-and that settled her and al
most ruined her value IN the COM
munity.
And she was doing the wise and
the scientific and the efficient thing
all the time.
