let ut see the saylngr in process of demonstrating it self- but drat she described jtary ha house aa it used to be there wasnt any need to label u a drunkards home he said no paint hardly a whole pane of glaaai rags stuffedt ini and not a curtain you couldvcall a curtain on the whole place inside ft was worse there waant a piece of furniture that was sjl there the family of seven slept in two beds and what they spoke of as bedding would be despised by a wellbred dog mary went out to work so she was never home unless x called in the even ing and then sometimes she didnt partlcularly want to see nft even if was her best friend she dldn t went to have to explain her black eye and nobody could take a thing- ilka that tor granted mary could have posed as a horrible example any day though whether the horror was that sbeshanjdj have married john or that snob a jund when sober man could turn into such a fiend when drunk or that such a nloe godfearing community as ours could permit the procedure i don t think she quits realised herself one day worn out with life in jgen erl ehe said to john oh john when will you give up this drinking t til never forget the sombre hope- it m m loasness of her face as she told me ms ankwer when x can t get any more and not a minute sooner well i moved away from that com munity and during my absence the o t a- w passed last month i went back and it occurred to me tp look up mary- v at this point the story of the last changed into a demonstration of the present for the social worker took me to the street where mary lived a poor screel but you should have seen the house jt couldnt ever be pretty any more than grandmothers can be nap- per but it didnt have a cracked pane or a rag or a dirty window the whole place bad fairly broken out into curtaina they weren t merely white they flaunted themselves they dldn t merely hong straight they frilled well over their starched edges tf the morning- stars sang together onoe upon a time marys curtaina undoubtedly shouted with joy aa far as any one could see theln what did they eayr wolll the social worker said thoy aald praise god for blessings day by day but jposi of course for the o t a t inside mary told us proudly that she only went out nccaslpnally now i bbe didnt have to work hard her man did that and brings home his money the social worker asked j7 all but two dollars mary said and you know mis in the old days if he brought borne anything it would have been the two dollar hed hav spent the rest himself tne shadow of the old years seemed to fall across her as she spoke she leaned fqrward and whispered when i think what lve lived through l thought thy d ever bring that awful llauor traffic back id lay down ml die a sengl live looking delicate child her youngest boy came over to
