" In her heart was a peculiar feeling of desolation - as of something lost.

BEFORE THE LADIES' AID

Pollyanna was not sorry to hear that a little later Aunt Polly told the minister's wife on the phone that she would not be at the Ladies' Aid meeting that afternoon because of a headache. Pollyanna knew that the Ladies' Aid met at two o'clock in the chapel next to the church, not half a mile from the house. Some of the ladies did know this rather extraordinary niece of their fellow member, and.

IN PENDLETON WOODS

A RED ROSE AND A LACE SHAWL

34;I SAID, Pollyanna, I didn't send it, and you'll be very sure he didn't think I did!--which is a very different matter from telling him OPENLY I didn't send it."

I'm even happier when I look at pretty people, because when I look at other kinds I feel so sorry for them." .

34;JUST LIKE A BOOK"

Pollyanna—no offense, of course—but he's not the sort of man who generally takes children; he is not, he is not." 34;bring me one of the large brass candlesticks from the fireplace in the front drawing-room."
