She had been a cook on a ranch, By going to the Bon's information service desk she got Mother's address and directions for getting there, So holding the little feb low clo#e (for she had not been West long) she got off the Kaat- lake car at Denny and started to find the “Home.” Looking down the street she saw children playing in a bie front yard. There were raspberry bushes on the side that looked as if too eager feet had broken tn among them in search of @ ball or to excape being “it.” But up near the front steps of a dilapidated bie house, pink geraniums made @ brave showing of color and orderliness, The front steps and uncarpeted hall were clean; everything was clean inside A woman in @ dark blue coverall apron and light cap opened the door. “Yea, go in there; Mother ts eating her dinner; she has been trying to get It ever since 11 o'clock but people came and she has just sat dowh.” It was nearly 1. The woman went into the parlor, On one side was @ crazy old square plato with an orderly stack of music on it and « great big, white exe with the gilt “aster greetings” almost worn oft. On the mantel were some group photos of children, a motto and a vase or two, On the wall, hung rather high, were three unframed oll paintings—gifta, no doubt, of long ago when it was the crase for everyone to take painting leasons, But on a level with one’s eyes wore the mottoes: “Hitherto the Lord hath helped me,” “Little children, let us love one another for love in of God.” The woman relaxed in this atmoephere and the baby felt at home. It was only natural. In an adjoining room, evidently used for family worship, was an old-fashioned organ with one pedal broken. Everywhere the curtains were clean and between two of the windows of phe parlor was an old-fashioned “whatnot.” That made the Wonthn smile, for she remembered that her grand mother had had one simfar to this On Mother's whatnot were some handdecorated shells, all carefully dusted.
