H i k . f i ' because she is forced to wear the doors of every rm and glowing story of a mother's incomparable love. Mra, Milburn had come to the Little Yellow House, on Flower street, owned by Uncle Bill Parks, 26 years before, when she and Charlle Milburn were married. Through all these years they had only known poverty. Mrs. Milburn bad kept everything neat and look- ed after her three children, Emmy, 18; Dan, 18, and Perry, 21. While the little yellow house, on the ugly street near the mill, was now sooty and be- grimed, it had never lost its charm for Mrs. Milburn. The story opens on Mrs. Milburn's birthday. Grand- mother Pentland, who had never ap- proved of Mrs. Milburn's marriage to Charlie, has arrived. Grandmother urges Mra. Milbun to accept fifty dol. 1ars as a present from her to pay the long overdue rent. Grandmother takes the opportunity of again scold- ing about the shiftlessness of Charlle Milburn. Mrs. Milburn final- ly takes the money. As Grandmother 1s leaving she asks Emmy to take her out to her car. Grandmother ‘warns Emmy to pay no attention to Robb Hollis, young mill worker, who is in love with Emmy. Emmy wants a “white collar” man and Robb ‘wears working clothes. In a moment of depression, Emmy decides that she is not going to spend her days in the little old house. She wants something finer. Emmy has bought | home & pair of white gloves for a | birthday present to her mother. Perry, the son, arrives home with a new lamp for his mother. Early in the evening Charlie Milburn arrives home in & taxicab. He is intoxicated, as usual, but Mras. Milburn always tells the children 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 & The taxi bill s | Was because she foRipavAnE he Tex) I Robb as she sang it. . . | been thinking of him almost every ten dollars and Emmy tells her mother she 1s foolish 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. Over the poverty and discontent in the ll(!lc‘ yellow house broods a mother's love, | which transmutes the dingy home on Flower street to a palace of love and beauty. Emmy, the only daughter, is disappointed with her surroundings, | fectly plain to Emmy that they liked relatives, | the ragtime much better. envious of her wealthy eager to live her own life in some | finer place. Robb Hollls, young mill l’:;ccla‘\;?;a;‘;u:;.\(?:;more of the tiny tobacco-: ‘worker, is in love with her, but Em- my would prefer a “white collar” man. Emmy is particularly ashamed cast-off clothes of her wealthy cousin, Marianna, who 1s her own age and lives with Grandmother Pentland. Emmy is provoked because Marianna chooses to bring her some | clothes while she is talking to Robb in the little garden spot back of the little yellow house. In the darkness under the big tree in the yard, Robb tells Emmy again that he loves her. Marlanna invites Emmy to come to ' a party and sing and play for the guests, (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) ¢ o o CHAPTER VIII ‘The songs that were popular that fall filled the plano rack—"Then I'll Be Happy,” and “That Certain Party.” “gSing ‘I Wonder Where My Baby | POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Ma thrashed our Junior today for imposin’ on that Condor boy right when she was about to get in with Mrs. Condor.” (Copyright, 1925.

And yet her own mother had known this room from her earliest babyhood, no doubt. S8he had been brought up right here in this enor- mous old red-brick house, and Ro- setta and Matthew had waited upon her. . . . It seemed almost unbe- lievable to Emmy. How very much her mother must have loved her father, she thought, to give up this soft effortless life and g0 to live with him in Flower street. To settle down with him for good among the smokestacks, the staring factory windowsa, the huddled little houses., “I never could have had the cour- age to do it,” she sald to herself.
