"I hope so. At any rate, I loved it. Some days I miss it." "I wish I had some trainin' like thet," Kathy remarked. "I'd

love to git a job to help Pa out fer awhile. But the only work thet is available fer a girl here, iffen she doesn't have special training

Pa won't hear tell of."

"Your pa will make out just fine, I'm sure," Melinda comforted. "In no time at all he'll have all the business that he can handle."

Kathy smiled a weak, yet hopeful, smile. "Yeah, I reckon he will. Still, I'd like to do more than just keep house." "Do you like to sew?" asked Missie.

"I've never learned, so I really don't know."

"Well, why don't I teach you? Between Melinda and you and me, we'll really keep my machine hummin'."

They all laughed.

"Could ya? I mean, would ya mind?"

"'Course not, I'd love to."

"Then I'd love it too."

Mrs. Taylorson bustled through the door.

"I brung you girls some tea," she said. "Company don't come to my house an' not git served--even iffen it ain't my company."

"Oh, Mrs. Taylorson, how kind!" Missie exclaimed, pleased that her landlady was so thoughtful. She introduced her friends and explained to Mrs. Taylorson that she might see them often. Mrs. Taylorson seemed to enjoy the idea. It occurred to Missie that the woman might not have much company of her own and missed it.

The girls continued their visit over their tea and cookies, including Mrs. Taylorson in their conversation.

At length the visitors rose to leave. They invited Missie to visit them, which she promised to do.

Mrs. Taylorson eagerly invited the girls to return "jest anytime." Missie returned to her room feeling much better. It had been a good day. God had given the help He'd promised. The telegram home, the visit with friends--a reminder that she would not really be alone when Willie left--these were gentle kindnesses given from the hand of a loving Father. With all of these blessings, Missie felt a warm glow inside.
