Halle, innocent victim of mar
riage that didn't stay put, came
among us last spring. She was
fresh from a hospital where she
had undergone a major operation.
She was thin, wan, underncurished,
starving for affection and for the
companionship of other Riddles.
The wistful appeal of her soft
brown eyes carried her into the
hearts of several good women who
saw that Halle was fed, bathed,
and above all, mothered.
And Halle promptly responded
to this treatment and b1ossomed
out like a rose. She learned to
play with other kids, and spent
happy hours in the sunlight, romp-
ed over the hillside, picked wild
flowers, gathered berries, chased
butterflies. She learned to laugh, to
sing, to dance, from the sheer joy
of living. She made friends of the
dogs and cats in the alley. She
tended toddlers for busy house
wives. She carried in wood and
water. She ran errands. In fact,
Halle was indispensable.
When Halle came in to lisp e
goodbye" in her sweet little voice s
and as she Rugged Scout" the OLD c
collie who had been her constant
summer-guard she whispered,
you are all like angels to me. 6
Then, we know we felt Jumps in n
our threats and moisture on our
erstwhile dry old eyes. We think
the dear Lord sends such little 4
angels among us now and then )
to soften our stony hearts and to
remind us: That heaven isn't DIS h
family afar, but here within our
mortal grasp and ken.
