WOODS Itecently, Lucy was going through some old letters and she came across one from Catherine, a sainted cousin of her grandmother, who has long since departed this life. Lucy was very fond of Catherine. Although she had only met her once or twice, She felt that,she knew this warm-hearted person from her letters. Catherine had such a host of friends and through life she had kept in touch not only with people from her home trivial and district but in other small places where she had resided temporarily. So her letters were most interesting to Litcy's mother. Through her she knew of relatives whom she had never seen, Catherine stayed at home and cared for her mother, after whose death she joined relatives in the United States before settling in a large city in Ontario. Friends and relatives going to the city were always sure of a welcome in her home, In middle life, she married a man she had known as a girl. They had one daughter, Gloria, who grew into a beautiful young woman and married. Then hard times hit when her husliand became ill. She nursed him through an illness of years. After his death when she was tired and ill herself, Gloria persuaded her to sell her home and live with her. Catherine soon saw that this was not the answer, although her daughter and son-in-law were kind in their own way. Always being an independent soul, she rented a housekeeping room in the vicinity of her old home and moved into it. Not too far away lived a cousin, Dr. Edward, and his wife, Their daughter Bessie and her husband Don resided with them. They lived quite a social life and so Catherine, being ten years younger than Edward, was frequently entertained at dinner. The daughter and her husband went out for the evening knowing that her parents were under Catherine's watchful eye. They had great fun for Dr. Edward had a keen wit. He had been retired a good number of years and was of a kindly nature. It was reported that he bought the' family homestead from his brother and wife. They lived there as long as they were able and then Dr. Edward fixed up the old farm house for a summer home. He was one member of the family who made money and kept it. Then came the day when Catherine's close friends felt that Bessie was imposing on her as "babysitter" for her nonagenarian parents while Catherine with a.heart condition should be resting instead of playing cards and entertaining her cousins until late hours. So she made another move to a room near Gloria where the latter and her children looked out for her mother. She refused to be entertained to dinner by Bessie as she did not feel well enough. And Bessie and her parents were quite hurt. They felt they'd been doing her a great kindness. Then came the day when Dr. Edward was gathered onto his fathers. Catherine, though feeble, wished' to attend the funeral service at night, so Gloria took her. All the relatives and friends were there, even Junior, Dr. Edward's son who did not move in the same social set as his parents and sister. She had telephoned him not to come. But there is a deity often ignored in life which some people feel towards dead relatives. And so Junior stood with Bessie to receive condolences on the death of his ancient sire who had not felt a pride in his son's accomplishments in life. At the door, Don said to Catherine: ,"There are no seats left" but she wasn't so easily deterred in her purpose. She looked around and saw two seats at the front, so said: "I'd like to see Ned."
