PICTURES OF THE PAST

By ETHEL TAUROG.

It was a hot and muggy day. The
trees fronting the house looked much
like trees in a painting, with not a
leaf or branch astir. The family had
gone on a lake excursion, and 1 had
volunteered to stay at home and pre-
pare the evening meal.
I took a book I had recently ob-
tained and seated myself in the com-
fortable nicker on thu front porch,
and became engrossed in the con-
tents. The increasing darkness of an
incoming storm made it impossible
for me to read. A strong wind was
sweeping dust and paper up into the
air. Blinding flashes of lightning
illumined the darkness. Thunder
crashed. Windows were raised, and
mothers called to the children who
had been playing in the street to
come in.
A few large drops struck the pave-
ment. I rose to go into the house
when I observed a short, stout
woman puffing and running down the
street. A heavy torrent of rain
came pouring down, and the woman
paused in front of our house for
shelter. I rushed into the house and
into the vestibule and called out:
"Will you come in?"
"Sure, thank you," she replied in
grateful voice. A few moments
later eh e was sitting in he living
room.
She was an intreesting woman to
