UNFOLDING TALES< 123 nicest part of the building. Susie Duffy and I are enjoying a very close and congenial companionship. I soon made other friends among the guests and life here is far from dull. My outside friends soon became reconciled to this change and they have done much to make my new life pleasant. Most of the residents here have largely made us for this loss. They come often to see me and I spend many days with them in their homes. The taxicab service is a great blessing to all of us; it gives us a sense of independence as we can call a taxi and go where we like. Miss Lanning continues to be most devoted to me and comes once a week on her day off from work and helps me in many ways. On Sundays when I feel able I call a taxi and go to church. There I meet Miss Lanning and go home with her for Sunday dinner and a pleasant afternoon, and then back home by taxi. Miss Lannning's landlady always had a nice group at dinner on Sunday and they have made me feel quite at home among them. Doctor and Mrs. Maxwell have been as kind as if they were my own kin and I have had many pleasant times with them. Lucy Cardwell comes often to see me and I always find something for her and others to do, if it is only to read a letter, for letters from absent friends still play a large part in my life. My nurse friend Peggy Arrance, has continued to give me much attention. In spite of her busy life she has taken me for rides in her car and to places I wish to go, including visits to the cemetery several times a year. Mrs. Henry Rule is another friend who has stood by frequently sending me flowers and other gifts to remind me that I am still in her thoughts. The first summer I was here in the Home I spent another pleasant week with my friends, the Kales, and I have a standing invitation to repeat this visit each year. I have many other friends whose names have not appeared in these pages but whose friendship I prize for they have added much to my happiness. At Christmas and on my birthdays I continue to be showered with cards and letters and my room is filled with flowers and other gifts. On my
