While we were all busy some one made a remark about how smart these children were. Sedalia thought that a good time to get in a big word, so she said, "Yes, I have always said Lula was a progeny." Mrs.

They looked at each other like two old doves. "How should it matter to us?" she asked sadly. "Because if we do not unite against this awful situation, we well, we are lost!"
