GLORIA AND TREELESS STREET
_By Annie Hamilton Donnell_
1910

vines made a delicate tracery over her white dress. Gloria was lazily

steps a small, neat figure was tripping. Gloria recognized it as an old
sight-acquaintance.
"I wish I could find out where she goes at just the same time every day!
In all the blazing sun--ugh! I'll ask Aunt Em sometime. And that makes
me think of what I want to ask Uncle Em!" It was natural that Aunt
Em should remind one of Uncle Em. Gloria's thought of the two as the
composite guardian of her important young peace and happiness--as well
as money. For Gloria was rich.
"I suppose I might go down and ask him this morning. It's a bore, but
perhaps it will pay. Abou Ben Adhem, I'll do it!"
