Sympathetic World of Miss Berry and Milt’s Wife
A fragment from the Chicago Daily News portrays a crowded store scene with a freckled boy, a large woman in a black straw hat, and Miss Berry’s wary circle. Washington Hancock and Sol Baker reminisce on Mrs. Berry’s controlling kindness and compare her to Milt Sowash’s wife. The talk drifts to farm troubles, reputations, and the force of pity, ending with a note on the community’s gossip and a faint sense of an impending moral instruction.
