The Hollister house wasn't the same after that. Aunt Sylvia was unhappy she never played the piano any more and several times I caught her crying. I was only ten but I knew what was wrong her sisters Susan and Kate were morose and meddlesome, always complaining about something. The three would go for weeks without speaking to each other.

"If we 'could only be sisters again," she said. I don't know what led me to do It, but I walked over to the old cherry table in the corner where there was an album of old pictures photographs and daguerreotypesand started to thumb through the pages. Aunt Sylvia came over very quickly, her clothing rustling as it always did, and ttook the book from my hands. "David Balch," she said, "you've given me an idea. What day is it, David?" I was, puzzled, "Why, it's Saturday and tomorrow is New Year's," I said. Aunt Sylvia clasped me in her arms again. "David," she said, "can you come back at about eight o'clock tonight?" THE THREE OF THEM were in sitting room when I arrived. Aunt Sylvia had me sit at her side, close to the fireplace. "David," said Aunt Sylvia, "will you get that album on the table? I want to tell you about some of the old pictures we've kept so many j Saturday morning. Inside was a Salt Lake City.

Special Christmas programs "Look," Aunt Sylvia went on, "that picture shows Susan when she was seventeen. She" "Sixteen," corrected Susan. "And here is Kate riding her favorite horse. It had a funny name Nebubuchadrezzar " "Necho," corrected Kate. "Here," said Aunt Sylvia," are the three of us, on our way to school" Both Kate and Susan were right behind Aunt Sylvia now, looking over her shoulder. "Sylvia," said Susan, "if you are going to describe those pictures, get things right. We were on our way to church." Aunt Sylvia never batted an eye. "We were pretty good looking girls, I think," she said, as if addressing herself. "We were always together. Folks called us the Hollister Triplets, because we were so inseparable." I looked at Kate and Susan then and was startled to see them removing their glasses and rubbing their eyes. "Once," said Aunt Sylvia, "we were on a sleighride together and" "It was New Year's Eve," commented Susan. "And so is this," said Aunt Sylvia. "Not so cold a night, maybe, but- -" It was Susan who broke down first. "Stop it!" she cried, so sharply I dropped the album on the floor. The first thing I knew, Kate and Susan had their arms around Aunt Sylvia and all were crying their hearts out. I knew it was time "Happy New Year, remarked inanely.
