MARY ESTHER ALBRIGHT IN THE CON

Donahue Court was down in the cen
ter of the Valley Settlement. 1t was
good sized square, formed by surround
ing tenements, and reached by passing
under a kind of bridge connecting two
houses which faced the outer street. 1t
was dingy and damp and unsavory in
Donahue Court, and the buildings were
of the kind that very poor people live in,
yet every house was crowded, and the
square In all kinds of weather, was
swarming with children of varying size
and color. And such shrewd, hardened

Near the close of a dark November day
Selma Anderson slipped out for few
minutes respite from close rooms and
crying babies. Selma was her real
name, though in the court she was never
called anything but Sis" or possibly
"Sissy" by some of the tinniest todd
lers, who were her perpetual compan-
ions. She was tall for thirteen, and a
little bent with the tugging Of heavy ba-
bies. Her face was thin and freckled,
and her eyes were an uncertain color,
but she had thick, rich brown hair, and
her mouth was sweet and womanly.

the whole, in the settlement, and among
the younger element her ideas and wishes
were duly respected.
On this particular night, however,
some Of Selma's ideas were doomed to
collision with the "court'' public opinion.
AS she CROPPED her way out of the dark
hallway which led upstairs to the rooms

square unusually quiet. None of her
usual companions were in sight.
"Where is evCrybodyP" thought the
girl, curiously. Must be something

FLOWERS FOR WEARING.

Proper Selection Is Part of the fine Art
OF Dressing.
People who are fond of wearing flow-
ers for personal decoration might well
give the subject a little thought before
proceeding to ornament themselves in
discriminatory with blossoms. To cut
all colors and varieties for this purpose
destroys ones individuality in a way
that is very disappointing indeed.
As a rule, light delicate colors and
white should be assumed by blondes.
while to brunettes are relegated the
dark, rich shades and brilliant colors.
In addition TO this, flowers having long,
flexible stems and pendulous, dropping
blossoms should be selected. Gerani-
UNI flowers are very pretty in the win
dow, or on beds outside, ont bunch
Of them pinned To the corsage does not
impress one as being very artistic.
The same may be said Of all flowers
that bloom in close heads or masses.
OF course, the first choice with most
women is roses, and, il these are cut
with a good long stem. their arrange
ment upon the dress is a simple matter.
Roses, however, cannot be had at all
times, and it is weu to know of few
other flowers that are, almost, if not
quite, their equal in the matter of per-
sonal decoration.
The graceful pendulous blossoms of
the arbutilon, or towering maple,
make lovely corsage bouquets. The
rich, bright reds and clear yellows.
that have lately been added to the list
of varieties, are very handsome, and can
be effectively worn by blonde or bru-
nette.
Perhaps the next best choice are the
blossoms OF the fuchsia. They are very
graceful in poise, but care should be
taken that they harmonic with the
costume worn, as most fuchsias show
two distinct colors in their flowers.
Last, but not least, | may mention
the blossoms of the sweet pea--for how
many beautiful arrangements can be
