But humor is irresistible. Her chuckle, broading into hearty laughter, gave to a third woman who was standing near—all of them in front of a department store, as if the yellow sunshine was too joyous to waste it inside—such a mind picture of a brown foulard that had been made over twice and given to the Lord because it was good for nothing eise, as to create a wonderment about the spiritual value of all the junk in this world that we “give away to the Lord." < * oK kK AN unusual sort of woman was about to leave a street car.
