A CLISTEK OF AMERICAN
BEAUTIES
a> '
'What a beauty," said Helen as she
crossed her aunts room to the table
which held a magnificent bunch of
American Beauty roses Sl>?
thought immediately of the luncheon
she was going to have the next day.
It was just like her Aunt Nellie to
order roses thai would just suit the
rest of her decorations.
All the next morning Helen waited
expectantly. The house was in readi
ness with the exception- of placing the
red roses upon the table. The hours
passed bybutno roses came. She look
ed out of the window anxiously. She
Was sure. Aunt Nellie had bought the
roses for her. It was only an hour be
fore time tor the girls to come tc her
party. "I Jiate to do It,, said Helen,
"but I shall have to swallow my pride
and run over to Aunt Nellie's and ask
her to lend her roses for the table. I
can't understand why she did not of
fer them to me." She looked again at
the table which needed only red roses
with rich green leaves to make It per
fect. A few minutes later a very rosy
cheeked girl rang Aunt Nellie's bell.
"Aunt Nellie, please help me out. It
is juat an hour until my party and I
haven't any roses for my table. If you
will only lend me your American Beau
ties, they will be fust what I need."
"I am sorry to disappoint you, Helen,
but I have already promised the roses
for this afternoon."
Helen could hardly believe that she
heard alright. Aunt Nellie, who had
never refused her anything, to disap
point her now! Her cheeks matched
'the roses In color, and tenrs of vexa
tion filled her eyes. She turned to the
door. Then she thought of a table with
an empty space which looked as though
It were made for those roses.
"Possibly I can let you have them
for tomorrow," said Aunt Nellie.
Helen hurried home and gathered
up flowers from other parts of the
house for her table. The next evening
?he was preparing to go to a concert
and she wanted to look her best. She
called the florist, only -to be told that
there was not a roie In the house. "I
shall have to swallow my pride again
and ask Aunt Nellie for her roses. She
?aid t might have them today and this
will show her that I am not resent
ful." She hurried down the street.
"Aunt Nellie, may I have your roses
tonight T I need a touch of eolor with
this dress."
"My dear It hurts me to refuse yoa
the second time, but 1 need the roses
myself." Helen turned silently and
want out. What oould be the matter
with Aunt Nellie who had always given
her anything she wanted.
Two days later Aunt Nellie wa'.kflA*
Into Helens rooip. In her hand she
curled a bunch of faded roes. Two
empty stems dangled roseless among
the utbeff.
'1 have brought the rosea over to I
you dear," Maid Aunt Nellie. Helen's
surprise changed rabidly Into anger
She closed her lips lightly Tor a few
seconds. When sh? opened them It
was to say, "1 thank you" for your kind
ness.'" Then sh?~4ooked at Afcni Jiellie.
'1 ears were In bvui pairs cA brown
eyes. Helen threw her arms arouud
Aunt Nellie. "Oh. Aunt Nellie, what Is
the matter, why do you bring me those
faded roses now. when you knew how
anxious I was for them when tUey
were fresh and beautiful?'' Aunt Nellie
kissed the rosy cheeks. "You are the
most beautiful American Beauty of
all Helen. Every one admires you and
better still. 'every one loves you. You
have beauty and culture and many
tments. The Lord has nee \ of yju.
There is a place in His work which
was fixed just for you just as the emp
ty space on the table cried for that
bunch of roses. But when the Master
comes and calls for you. you say, 'I
have other plans for today, perhaps
tomorrow, or when I am older.' When
we ask you to come to the Missionary
Society, you say that you ha~e prom
ised your time tosomething else. It
breaks my heart to see you give your
beautiful youth to yourself. Think of
tomorrow when you can offer only
faded roses to your Lord. You thought
It was selfish when I kept a single
bunch of roses for myself until they
were faded and then offer them to you
Yet you are keeping your youthund
strength for yourself until they be
come aged, and there will be only
weakness to offer to ?od. He wants
the sweet joyous service of your yo-ith
to make it a thousand times more
beautiful and sweet and full of joy."
The look on Helens face gradually
gave way to one of understanding. She
picked up the bunch of faded roses
that had fallen unnoticed to the floor.
Then she kissed A'unt Nelii ?. That
evening she consecrated her beauty,
youth, and all to the Master. She care
fully put the bunch of faded roses
away. 'Just to remind me when I am
tempted to keep things for myself,"
she said.
