He was de only hoy in dat class and ah offen tol’ yoah ma dat ah sure pitied dat chile from right down in de bottom o’ mail heart. He’s a fine hoy .... one that uses his haid, as de story says, for somethin’ mo’ than to get hair tonic put on ... Well, Miss Betty, that hoy am one of the finest doctahs in the West now. Yassam, he is alius bein' talked about ’count a the nice way he can cut people up. He alius was handy with a jack-knife, even when he was no biggah dan a mosquiter’s eyebrow .... “Then, Miss Betty, the summah befo’ yoah ma was married, she hikes back from school with Miss Kathryn Bianconi. Miss Kay, thas what yoah ma called her, stayed heah fo’ a month. She was a goin’ way off to Africa or some place, Chicago was de name of de town, I recollect,—to teach gym. Ah don’ know who Jim was but seems to me he must a needed lamin’ powerful bad for her to go traipsin’ way off to dat Chicago place to teach him.” Aunt Mandy took a deep breath, surveyed Betty critically in the mirror, and continued: “Then one day when ah was a walkin’ down the street, mah eyes was took by a board bill sign an ah stopped still and most yelled out loud. Here befo’ me was Miss Aileen asperty as yoah please—an’ she was a playin’ in a big play—the head one, too. I was broke flat. If happiness had a been sellin' fo’ a nickel, ah couldn’t a bought a smile; so yoah grandmothah bought me a ticket. Ah sure enjoyed dat show. An' what’cha think? Miss Nellie were de chief dancer an’, as you well knows, dancin’ am my most particklerest enjoyment. “Las’ but not least is Miss Gerry McCormick. Miss Gerry has done gone to dat dere Convent in Los Angeles and is a Sister —a real one, just as good as them in Arizona, so dey tells me. I ast yoh ma if she thought Miss Gerry was happy an’ she said, ‘Happiness am de one thing she ain’t nothin’ else but!’ “Yoah ma’s a callin’; listen .... De motah’s ready? .... Well, so is us. ’Bye, chile...........” Betty departed and, with a long-drawn sigh, Mandy dropped into the nearest chair. Ere the sound of the motor had died in the distance, her thoughts were in the land of “used-to-be,” and before her age-dimmed eyes there passed a vision of yesterday when, not Betty’s mother, but her grandmother—proudly bearing her diploma on her arm, had stepped from the portal of dear S. J. A.—to “try her wings” at practicing the teachings of her Alma Mater. —Roberta McDonnell, '23.
