The wind howled outside the furnished rooms where the. little family were temporarily situated. It was suppertime. The girls had set the table, and now waited in theâ€"wide windowsill, spreading out their paper dolls between them. Mama bustled around, creating a semblance of cheerfulness with her knack of "partying up a place." She had bought a little ground beef and veal â€" and, surely for the first time in history â€" was cookâ€" ing "mock chicken legs" in an efâ€" fort to ‘appease Papa‘s fondness for chicken. Then, to satisfy her own craving, she had fashioned of crepe paper a most realistic bouâ€" quet of yellow roses for a centerâ€" piece. ¢ K The dressing table mirror reâ€" flected an attractive young girl in a bridal gown. Her smiling face was tilted ‘up to meet her sister‘s concerned gaze. % * ‘Your hair is pérfect now, Let me place your veil will you, honâ€" ey*" Grace took the veil from one of the bridesmaids, and almost rev. erently adjusted it on head of her young sister. She was. so proud to be doing all the little things their adored mother would have done had she lived. Their mother â€" who had left her girls a mountain of memories â€" had inâ€" stiled in them a deep love for litâ€" tle personal preferences that had become "tradition" with them. The Roses Must Be Yellow! Alison was most like their mothâ€" er, thought Grace, â€" the same seâ€" rious eyes, sweetly curved lips, and intense desire to carry on in all the wellâ€"remembered ways. She had insisted on a. bridal bouquet of yellow roses, the deep creamy yellow their mother had loved so passionately.‘~ Even ~during : the years when things were going badâ€" ly in a financial way, Papa had alâ€" ways managed to bring Mama‘s roses on their anniversary. Grace knew that neither she nor Alison could ever forget sone such celeâ€" bration . . . Usually a "pokey" driver, Grace drove uptown in a burst of speed. She knew Alison would never walk up the aisle with tea romes. If neeâ€" essary, she might be persuaded to carry something else, but oh! if only the florist had the right roses â€"their beloved yellow! a worried Mr. Thomsen was about Grace handed the ending wmmofflnbrmdt and put her arm around Alison‘s taut shoulders She said softly, "Don‘t ery, honey. It‘s just a mis. I‘m going to dash uptown to the forist‘s. Girls â€" please take care When Papa came in, Mama was busy at the stove. ~The girls looked up, bigâ€"eyed and wondering, as he slowly advanced to the table. Something in his expression kept them silent. He stood at Mama‘s place, looking sadly at the paper flowers, then carefully reached unâ€" der his coat and drew out a small tissueâ€"wrapped package: He laid it beside her plate, blew his nose violently ‘and went into the kitchâ€" en. The girls could hear their parâ€" ents‘ subdued voiees, but the sound did not excite their curiosâ€" ity nearly as much as the mysteâ€" rious smÂ¥ll package â€" which could not be a bouquet. They tiptoed over to the table, and saw through the thin wrapping a soliâ€" tary yellow rose. Even though Papa had: carried it under his coat, the snow had left a few wet spots on the paper . . . _‘Now, dear, you just hang on tight to Papa‘s arm, and everything The doorbell rang, and Grace, anxious to attend every detail in person, hurried from the room. The bridesmaids clustered around Alison, admiring and teasing. Grace‘s returning footsteps were like a special signal. The chatterâ€" ing ceased and Alison turned exâ€" pectantly. Grace held out a tissueâ€" wrapped bouquet, saying gently, "Here it. is, honey. Now we‘ll all have to hurry.". A Alison cautiously lifted an edge of the tissue, but recoiled instantâ€" ly. Grace and the girls leaned over. Tea roses! Alison‘s shocked eyes were riveted on their unwanted pinkness with only a faint tip of pale yellow. Papa was already at the church, waiting to take the bride down the aisle. He, above all others, would understand the one touch necesâ€" sary to make the wedding comâ€" plete for Alison. â€" "Oh, Gracie, I feel soâ€"sort of solemnâ€"‘" Alison quavered.. "I just know my knees will buckle." will be all right.‘ their eyes brance. 7 brance. This wedding had _been planned so carefully, so lovingly, that every detail must be perfect. Thursday, Feb. 21st, 1946 Alison looked up at Grace, and .‘andaml Shallows "Just noticed the mistabe in deâ€" liveries! Can‘t tell you how sorry I am â€" what can I do* Your sisâ€" ter‘s bouquet is on the way to the Franklin Farm wedding where these tea roses belong. Can‘t get "Cm back in time. What‘s to be doue?" " Grace felt like crying, but the need to fix things right was strongâ€" er. "Can‘t you make up another bouquet right away*" Mr. Thomsen sighed. "But that‘s just the trouble â€"â€" those yelâ€" low roses were ordered special. Not common this time of year, you know. Hard to get. Used ‘em all, too, that is, all but one. Here, see? We couldn‘t do a thing with this." _ "Oh, couldn‘t we?" Grace deâ€" manded. She lifted the creamy deep yellow rose and kissed its fragrant petais. Then, under Mr. Thomsen‘s astonished ~eyes,â€" she withdrew a spray of fern from the tea rose bouquet, pulled off the satin streamers, and with lightâ€" ning speed attached them to the yellow rose. Inspecting it criticalâ€" ly, she whispered "Now it‘s up to you to save the day!" When she walked into the bedâ€" room again she saw a strange and silent tableau. Alison had removed her veil but still sat with elbows on the dressing table, the: fingers of both hands jammed tightly inâ€" to her hair. Her gaze was fixed on the mirror where she could view the open door. The bridesâ€" maids sat in a shocked waiting siâ€" lence. All eyes swung to Grace, who entered like an actress on cue.

When he saw her he spluttered She .extended theâ€" bouquet, no tissue to hide the true yellow of the lone rose, and with her voice shaking a little, said "Will this do, dear?" Alison stared, blinked quickly, and:swooped up her veil. "Do?" she choked, beaming at her sister‘s reflection.
