Now all were hers. Where once she had to worry about getting a job, now she had only to think about the automobile she Wanted. No longer did she have to wait on the whims of others: now. there were maids to serve her. Instead or the chill of the stranger, she now had the warmth of a father and mother to comfort her. Yet her happiness is fast waning. She is ready to cast it all aside, and revert to her former life of toil and loneliness just— To answer the call of the city! * • • • Miss Kling had been reared in New York City, Newark, N.

WEDNESDAY, AUD. 27, !9
By GENE COHN MEA Service Writer COLLEGE, Pa., Aug.j Ik) I — The P ,atform ln thef 1 **"4 university assembly hall is hedged with beribboned flowers. Young women, in very new white dresses and with cheeks pinked by excitement, wait nervously. Young men, with over-serious faces, wait stiffly. And there is one with silverstreaked hair. She smiles continuously—a sort of spiritual smile transcending earthly things. The college president calls: "Mary O’Malley Sullivan.” Two stout canes appear from either side of a chair and the sil-ver-haired woman supports herself upon them. There is a storm of applause. It is "Orphan Mary's” moment of great triumph. She accepts the rolled paper. It is a degree of bachelor of arts. "Oi’phan Mai’y" has defeated circumstances, suffering, tragedy apd misfortune. For those who may And the struggle hard or the trail easy, the life of Mary O'Malley Sullivan Is a sermon In courage, pei’slstence and complete triumph of the spirit. This brief outline may provide a sketchy picture: She was orphaned as a baby. A •'all from the porch hopelessly crippled her for life a few years later. At the ago of 14 she graduated from the Plains, Pa., high school. At 15 she was a public school teacher. At 18 she was a normal school graduate. She held a prac- I ticing pharmacist's license she was 20. ™ She was widowed eighteen months after marriage. Was proprietess of a drug store and postmistress for twenty years. Served in the Treasury Department at Washington during the war. Spent three years helping the sick and disabled In hospitals. These are all records of achievements. They tell nothing of the months spent in hospital cots suffering from her crippled condition and seeking to find help from some of the world's best surgeons. Nor of pain that often seemed unendurable. For “Orphan Mary” was never able to escape the companionship of her two stout canes and of physical suffering. Y T et her ambition was stronger than her handicap. In every spare moment she studied. The years sped. Silver strands crept into her hair. And then, after more than forty years of struggle—the opportunity of a college course. To "Penn State College" she became a symbol. Students came to watch for her and help her limp up the stairways and through the halls to classroonf. Now that she has won a degree she is not finished. Not Mary O’Malley Sullivan. "I’ll teach foi- a time and then I'm going to--study again,” she
