"You're not usually a shirk, Phyl- lis," Aunt Em replied calmly. "A shirk!" Phyllis was too much astounded to be angry. "If you knew how I work over letter writing, Aunt Em! If I could show you the pen handles I've chewed in my agony! And then you call he a shirk!" "Maybe I was wrong. I should have said, 'If you'd only use'your common sense.' ' "Aunt Em!" Phyllis's voice was ! tragic. "Have you no mercy ? Don't ' you know that it is spiritual murder! to destroy a fellow being's self-' esteem? I always knew that I never: could be ornamental, but 1 comforted; myself with the thought that if I did 1 have one gift it was 'common sense." "I am inclined to think," Aunt Em said thoughtfully, "that I was rijrht in the first place, for to have a gift and to refuse to use it is shirking." Phyllis's reply was a despairing gesture. Aunt Em's voice became more gentle. "I was thinking of your mother, child; and of what the letters from home mean to her in the hos- pital." "As if I wasn't thinking of her!" Phyllis cried. "And," Aunt Em went on, "of the joy you can give her if you really set your mind upon doing it. And without any trouble on your part, either." "How?" Phyllis cried. "Aunt Em, how?" "She wants home news the tiny,' little, everyday things such as what we had for dinner and what dress i Kathie is wearing to school things like those. Just suppose yoi try doing! it once." At. dinner that night Phyllis was unusually quiet. Immediately after she had done eating she went to her room. An hour later Aunt Km, tfoinR upstairs, wns summoned by her voice. "See if that is all right," said Phyllis, tossing her aunt a piece of paper. "Dear, dear, dearest mother," Aunt Km read. "I've wanted to write so that I thought I'd burst, hut I just can't say things on paper. We're all well, only terribly lonesome without you.
