The Wearing
of the Yellow
BY Donald Allen

Copyright 1910, by Associated Literary Press)
Just why Mrs. Thompson Carding-
er decided to use yellow as her color
scheme at the last of the series of
bridge parties she was giving is not
known. 1t may have been that it
was her favorite shade; it may have
been that it harmonized with her
costume of the afternoon, or, it may
have been simply because yellow
spring flowers, jonquils, daisies and
tulips were plentiful in the florists
shops in March
But the very fact that she had Sc
lected yellow instead of any other hue
in the rainbow made all the difference
in the world to her faithful cook.
Norah
Norah was a daughter of the EN-
erald Isle and she never lost an op-
portunity to go to a St Patricks
ball whenever the anniversary of that
good saints birth rolled around And
in all the five years that she had been
in the country she had never failed
to dance the opening waltz with big
Pat Deasy from her own County
Cork.
Norah's mistress had chosen the
| afternoon of St. Patrick's day for her
bridge party, and when the last guest
had gone and Mrs. Cardinger's du-
ties as hostess We're over, she stepped
| into the kitchen to give a word of
praise to her cook for the extra effort
she had made to have the pastries and
coffee toothsome and dainty
And Norah, want you to wear
a bunch of those lovely jonquils to
your ball tonight. They will add
much to your appearance. Also, you
may serve dinner at $50 instead OF
seven, so as to be in plenty of time,
she said good naturedly Mrs. Card
niger appreciated the faithfulness OF
Norah, and she knew with what pleas
ure the girl had looked forward to the
ball of the evening.
Norah sang over her cook stove, ant
when dinner was over she mounted
the stairs to her room to dress in hel

Miss Hyacinth Wells was an old
maid If she hadn't been an old
maid she wouldn't have been the
owner and principal of the Wells
school for young ladies'. Old maids
have a fondness for opening schools
for young ladies. It's their way of
getting revenge for never having had
any romance in their own lives.
They become watch dogs and tyrants
and gloat over it.
When Miss Jean Kelly arrived at
Ravendale and the Wells school with
her mother. she was left in the parlor
while the mother and Miss Wells re-
tired to a private room to have a
confidential conversation. Miss Jean
was to be sequestered on account of
her being in love at nineteen. She
was as good as engaged to a very
| determined young man, who was two
years older. He had said to the
mothers face after being turned down
