READ THIS FIRST Bhut within the doors of every home there is the warm and glow- ing story of a mother's incompar- able love. Mra, Milburn had come to the Little Yellow House, on Flow- er street, owned by Uncle Bill Parks, twenty-five years before, when she and Charlie Milburn were married. Through all these years they had only known poverty. Mrs. | Milburn had kept everything neat and looked after her three children, Emmy, eighteen; Dan thirteen, and Perry, twenty-one. While the little yellow house, on the ugly street | near the mill, was now sooty and begrimed, it had never lost its charm for Mrs. Milburn. The story opens on Mra Milburn's birthday. Grandmother Pentland, who had never approved of Mrs. Milhurn's marriage to Charlie, has arrived. Grandmother urges Mrs. Milburn to accept fifty dollars as a present from her to pay the long overdue rent. Grandmother takes the oppor- tunity of again scolding about the shiftlessness of Charlie Milburn. Mrs. Milburn finally takes the money. As Grandmother is leaving she ask Emmy to take her out to her car. Grandmother warns Em- my to pay not attention to Robb Hollis, young mill worker, who is in love with Emmy. Emmy wants a “white collar” man and Kobb wears working clothes, In a moment of de- preagion, Emmy decides that she is not going to spend her days in the little old house. She wants some- thing finer. Emmy has brought home & pair of white gloves for a birthday preseat to her mother. Perry, the son, arrives home with a new lamp for his mother. Early in the evening Charlie Milburn ar- rives home in a taxicab. He is in- toxicated, as usual, but Mrs. Miil- burn always tells the chidren he is ill, Charlie has no money to pay his taxi bill and Mrs. Milburn takes the fifty dollar bill, which she had intended to use for paying the rent. The taxi bill is ten dollars and Emmy tells her mother she is fool- ish to put up with Mr. Milburn. Her mother tells her never to speak of her father that way again. Emmy is all the more determined to get away from Flower street and its poverty. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOR\" CHAPTER VI Al this has happened in the year of mercy, 1924. Eleven months had slipped by since then. It was the autumn of 1925 now, and Emmy was eighteen. Changes had come to her. She had given up all thought of singing lessons from Mrs. Hartzell for the present, and she was finishing & secretarial course at the Larchmont School of Business down town. Grandmother Pentland had ungra- ciously provided the money to pay for it. “Don’t ask me to say I think it's a good thing, for I don't!” she had gnapped. handing over a check to Mrs. Milburn. “I don't approve of handsome young women going to work with a lot of men in offices. Heaven alone knows what goes on in them all day long.” “Nothing very dreadful, I imagine. Most people are pretty decent and well behaved,” Mrs. Milburn had answered pracidly. “Besides, T can trust my girl, no matter where she | is=—no matter whom she’s with. And | * she's got to earn her own living in some way." Grandmother Pentland’s only comment had been a terrific sniff. So there the matter had ended, and Emmy was busily learning the shorthand and typewriting that she heped would .ventually pay her way out of Flower street. It—and its poverty—had become an obses- sion with her. It had changed in' the last year, too, and for the worse. It was older and dirtier than ever before, and there seemed to be fewer leaves on the trees this fall than last. Mrs. Milburn ‘said that the smoke was kifling them. Only the sycamore tree at the side of the house stood the onslaught of soot and grease. s I “Hello, Babe! The Brainards had bought radio and its voice could he: nightly, erying in the wilderness’ of Flower strect like the lost soul of a whole orchestra. Changes nad come to Robb, too. A small prosperity had descended upon him in the form of a salary raise, and he was better looking than ever before in some now clothes. He had bought himselt a cheap second-hand roadster that Dan christened the “struggle-buggy” because of the constant effort it took to kecp the thing in running order. But Robb and Emmy enjoy- ed it as much as if it had been Uncle Bill Parks’ huge black town car with needlepoint cushions and silver fittings, They went for long, bumpy rides in it these warm §: day and Sunday afternoons, return- ing with bunches of dusty golden- rad and scarlet leaves for the house. The little house had not changed at all. The magic of home still en- chanted it in epite of its shabbiness and its absurd makeshifts. Its cur- tains were :lways snowy, still. The old piano still gave forth its silvery music under Emmy's fingers, Mr: Milburn was still cutting out daily poems from the newspapers and pinning them above the kitchen sink to be memorized while she washed the ovelier than usual year with its velvety dahlias, dim pink asters, its marigolds. Late one Saturday afternoon {n October, Robb and Emmy were sit- ting out under the sycamore tree at the side of the house when Mari- anna Pentland came driving into the yard in her little gray car that was like a jewel box on wheels. She had its a flat pasteboard box in her arms that she was more of her and Emmy knew tringing her some beautiful, expensive cast-off clothes, “Hello, Babe!” she called out. She was three years older than Emmy. “I've brought you some pretties. That red crepe with the white ruf- fles, you know ?—and the plaid mo- hair suit with the cape. 1 hope they'll fit you." She tossed the box POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Jim pretends he's boss at his house, but he taught his wife to drive an’ never made her ery.” (Copyright. 1923, Publishers Syndicate) Real Estate Listings Welcomed.

Emmy shot a agonized glance at Robh, hoping that he would not realize that Marianna was bringing her a gift of charity. Like most people who have to ac- ccpt favors, she was painfully sen- sitive, But ther> was nothing in Robb’'s face but good humor and welcome as he stood up and took the over-manicured hand that Mari- anna held out to him. Marianna had a sumptuous kind of beauty. She lcoked the way Grandmother Pentland must have looked at twenty-one. She had the same brilliant black eyes, white skin, and straight mouth, But Mari- anna's eyes were carefully made up with some kind of brown powder, her skin was rouged, and her mouth was painted a Bright, sealing-wax red. A heavy odor of orchid perfume came from her gauzy black clothes as she moved., Her father and mother had been killed in an automobile accident when Marianna was seven, and since that time she had lived with her gradmother in the gloomy old Pentland mansion that had stood in ast Prospect street for fifty years. e was completely spoiled and as hard as nails, But she had a way with men. Her engagement had been announced three times—to a different man h time—in the Cleveland Town Ik. She was not engaged now. “It's so casy to make a mistake about men,” she had once confided to Emmy. ou think they're won- derful when you're in love with them and the minute you fall out you see that they're just tailors’ dummies, after all. Some day I'll meet a man who's real, and TI'll marry him so fast it will make his head swim!” e had inherited the what-T-want-I-take trait that had built up a Pentland fortune, sharp, She was looking up into Robb Hollis' eyes now, almost as it she were seeing him for. the first time and, with her hand stfll in his, she turned and spoke to Emmy. “Why don't you bring this good- looking thing with you sometime when you come to see me, Babe?" She had a lovely low bell-like voice that did not seem like part of her- self,sgomehow. It seemed like some- thing that she had bought in a shop and paid a big price for. A pang of jealousy that was like bodily pain went through Emmy. “Oh, 1 don't have much time to &0 visiting, myself, these days, Marianna,” she said, and her lips went up in a dim smile, “Only week ends. The rest of the time I'm pret- ty busy down town, you know.” Marianna gave her a kiss that smelled of orchid perfume, rice powder, and Turkish cigarettes, “Yes, 1 suppose that's trye,” she sald; ‘but I hope you aren’t going to be busy next Friday afternoon. I'm going to have the old Friday Club at the house. We're going to give Cassie Sears a linen shower— she's going to be married in Decem- ber, you know—and I wanted you to sing after we finish our bridge game.” Every now and then, throughout the years, Grandmother Pentland had felt that she ought to do some- thing kind for Emmy. And one of the kind things she had done was to enroll her in the Friday Dancing Class at the Colonial Club ten years before. The Friday Dancing Class, with its twelve agile little girls, had be- come the Friday Club later on, when it had given up toe dancing and learned to play bridge instead. Tt met only rarely now, but Emmy was still a member of it. “I can't come for Ilunch, Mari- anna,” she said slowly, *“or for bridge, either. But if you want me to sing, I think I can get there by half-past four. I can leave the school early that day.” Marianna nodded, and her black eves slewed around to Robb's face. | “You come for her,” she told him. ‘Be there about six—isn’t that you car standing in front of the house?’ + admitted that it was. I'll let you take me for a ride in it. if you'll call me up some rainy afternoon,” she said and laughed as if that were the best joke of the year. “I mean it! You don't mind, do you, Emmy, 1f T have the least bit of a yen for your Robb?" “I don’t mind at all!” Emmy an- swered as airily as she could, but a smile in her eyes went out of them. “And he's not my Robb, either!” It hurt her all over to stand there and listen to Marianna make an engage- ment with him. 8he was very cer- tain that she wis not the least bit in love with Robb Hollis. But she liked him tremendously, and he was the only real fricad she had outside of her own family. “I'm not so sure of that, but I'm glad to hear it anyway,” Marianna was saying now in her gay, mocking way. She took a cigarette from a black enameled case, stood very close to Robb while he held a match to it, and then started across the grass to her car. “Now, don’t forget to come on Friday, Babe!” she called in her soft clear voice as she started her motor. “And, Robb, don’t you forget what T said just now!™ She drove away into the pearl- | gray mists of tha deepening twilight leaving a dread silence behind her under the sycamore tree.
