operatives in the mills, supplied her with books her

many, ,nd to her most strange lessons of human
nature among her associates, until both heart and
soul expanded most liberally. during her - year at
Lowell. ~
' At the end of the year she returned to'school, more
beautiful far than ehe had ever beep, fur she hod
learned to be fully conscious of her own peculiar
dignity as a woman, capable of self control, and' of
self-surport: She was - more loveable than ever,
