from high school. There had
been a long illness, which had
eaten up their balance and she found
that college was out of the question,
also that she must go to work,
“Poor Polly!” her friends said.
“Just as though I were a
coated, red-headed parrot!” said Pol

get a position. It ought not to be
harder than it was to major in Latin
and hold the basket ball champion-
ship at the same time.”
She sald this, with an assurance she

and I had a pull, too, and always knew
I was to earn my living. You are
young, and have been sheltered. It
will be hard.”
