Have ever met you before?" asked
he yellow rose of a beautiful pink
rose. The pink rose was of a very
exquisite color and though the yellow
rose had seen many pink roses 1t was
sure 1t hadn't seen one of just that
very same shade.
II don't believe you have" said the
pink rose, "for | am a new kind of a
rose. have only been trained to do
what | was told to do lately. My grand
mother made her debut last spring."
What in the world is a debut?"
asked the yellow rose.
"a debut is when a rose makes its
first appearance and first bow to the
world.
They use that word" continued the
pink rose, when speaking of girls
after they have become young ladies
and are ready to so to grown-up
dances and balls. But with a rose they
use 1t meaning a roses first appear
ance.
80 you see we're new. Grandmoth-
er was the first of our kind. We're
known as the Columbian rose family"
I'm glad to make y acquaint-
anCe," said the yellow rose a little
Stiftly. 1t was quite impressed talking
TO a brand-new kind Of rose.
THANK YOU" said the pink rose.
What did you mean a little while
ago when you said you had only been
trained to do what you were told to
do latelyT' asked the yellow rose.
"Well, my grandmother was the first
TO do what she was told to do. |
didn't actually mean that l had only
been trained of late to do what | was
told, but | meant that my family had
been trained Of late TO do the thing
we were supposed to do. That is we're
not doing what we are not supposed to
do"
The yellow rose dropped a petal in
Of water in the window of a florists
shop.
Some paSsersby saw the yellow rose
petal drop and said, "What beautiful
yellow roses, but one of the roses just
dropped a petal. They must be get

And they admired the beautiful pink
roses and the pink rose which had
been talking to the yellow rose, grace
fully and very beautifully bowed its
head ever so little.
~ must be careful and not get ex-

yellow rose, "for the florist won't be
