THE GREEN
SATIN COAT
And All It Meant to Two
Girls
By CLARISSA MACKIE
"An express packago for yon, Nell,"
cried Grace Lane as she met her friend
at the door of the room they occupied
together. "Do hurry and open it I'm
dying to see what it contains. It must
be ln-eclous," she rattled on, "because
it's registered and stamped with all
sorts of r Jd foreign characters."
Nellie Hllyer laughed as she tossed
her lint and jacket on the bed and car
ried the interesting package to the win
dow.
"It's from my Uncle Dan. You re
member. Grace, I've told you about
him—how he has lived for many years
| In China and is as rich as rich can bo."
Miss Lane uodded her golden head
ami frowned. "Yes; I've heard all
about your rich Dncle Daniel, and I
think he's a stingy old thing, Nell—bo
there! If he wasn't he wouldn't per
mit his niece to wither away In this
perfectly respectable but terribly
gloomy boarding house or to continue
the nerve racking occupation of teach
In^ grimy youngsters their A B C's."
"What would you have him do,
Grace?" smiled Nell.
"I would have him send you a per
fectly oi irmous draft on New York,
eunuch to enable you to ley a rose
howerod cottage in the country and to
raise chl'-'teus for the market. And,
Nell, 1 eould go and live with you
and l>e ymr right hand man. Wouldn't
It bo great?"
Nellie sillied profoundly.
"it would be lovely, Grace, but I'm
afraid ue won't do a thing. You see,
he qunrrelod with my mother years
ago because she married my father,
r.ud »( never heard a word from him
for years and years. Then mother
died, :<ud still never a word from Un
cle Dan. After father's death, a year
ago, you know X was left entirely
alone and unite poor—those long Ill
nesses siuiply devoured the money—
and now It seems Uncle Dan has re
membered my birthday after all." She
look"d dreamily down Into the grubby
back ynrd of the city block.
Grace jumped up and pulled down
the yellow window shades and lighted
the gas jet
"Now that he has remembered, dear,
suppose you open it and see what It
e •iitahis." she urged. "Perhaps he has
sent you the rose bowered cottage aft
er all."
Nellie untied the heavy cord that
bound the package and broke the red
seals that splotched It here and there.
When the outer paper was removed
she found that there was layer after
layer of oiled yellow paper, and at last
there was revealed a flat box covered
with brocaded silk. The silk covered
Ivx was tied with golden cords, and
when these were removed the lifted
cover brought to light a most wonder
ful garment of green satin, stitT with
embroidery and glistening with gold
; thread.
Nellie held it up for her friend to see.
"A mandarin's coat," she said with a
little choke iu her voice. "Isn't it won
derful?"
Grace was examining the coat with
j critical eyes. On the broad back of
the varment was embroidered a garden
I scene, and the fronts were equally
jpleudid. Ou either flowing sleeve
tin-re blazed a go'den sun, and as she
-.witched one of the sleeves aside there
sounded a faint crackle from its vo
, luminous folds.
S'ie plunged her hand Into the pock
"t Mice cavity and drew out a rice paper
I envelope addressed to "JIlss Nellie
[ Hilyer."
Nellie opened the euvelope and took
I ■>ut a thin sheet of rice paper. Across
the top of the sheet her uncle Dan
iiad written a few words: "To Nellie,
i!! her twenty second birthday, from
facie Dan." Then he had added: "Be
is a fairly good sample of Chinese
| poetry- Are you fond of poetry?"
I Grace read the poem a!oad:
! 'The tiny :s fair, like other daya.
I I stroll in ciy garden.
j Tin i h r"se bordered paths I stray,
!ee V vays fjr happiness and peace
of mind.
u : . I . ,:U straight into the heart of
tli" sua dragon—
- # vullowed up and turned into a
,:lcv. of dr'Izrht'"
_1 i ' 1" .itii Omre when
she hod finished." "It ft "without rime
or meter, and"—
"But not without meaning!" inter
rupted Nellie excitcdly. "Look. Grace!"
She pointed nt the outspread man
darin's coat that was on the bed be
fore them. "I've been looking at that.
I really think the poem applies to this
garden scene on the back of the coat!"
"Fiddle-de-de«'!" neoffed Miss Lane
as she knelt beside her friend before
the green satin coat. "I never yet saw
the Chinese poem that ever appeared
to express anything Prtve the utter
topsyturvyness of that upside down !
land."
"Read the poem again while I trace
out the story," urged Nellie, her finger
on the beginning of the embroidered
brown path that trickled over the I
green sntlu garden.
Grace laughed and ci! eyed. It was ;
rather fun to indulge in these pretty .
fancies after a hard Say's work in the !
schoolroom.
"'The day Is fair, like other days,"'
she began.
"See, Urace? The sun Is shining.
That shows that the day is fair," In
terrupted Nellie eagerly. "Strolling up
this brown path—see, my finger travels
through the rose bordered paths—seek
ing for happiness and peace of mind.
Those are represented by the lotus j
blossoms away off on nnother path.
He misses the turning and goes on. on, ;
straight toward the sun dragon. The
brown path goes right iuto the heart of
the sun, and my strolier is swallowed
up in the heart of the sun. Greedy
fellow! He must have a hard heart,
Grace." She laughed as her pretty
finger prodded the gold embroidered
planet.
"That's because you're turned into a
glowing jewel of delight," retorted her
friend gayly.
"I wish it were a glowing jewel of
delight Instead of a very ardinary
sun." sighed Nellie as siie arose and
folded up the gorgeous coat. "There's
the supper bell, aud I am so untidy!
Do let's hurry or we won't get a bite to
eat."
After supper It was a long, dun even
ing. Though both of the girls were ap
parently reading, each one of them
was thinking of the beautiful green
satin coat and how utterly useless it
all was tinder the present circum
stances.
Nellie carried her sober thoughts to
bsd with her, and for many hours she
lay awake, wondering why Uncle Dan
had seut her 3tich nn absurd gift when
he knew that she was obliged to work
for her living and that the mandarii.'s
coat must be an extravagant accessory
to her simple wardrobe.
"I can't understand ir„" she mur
mured sleepily. "Mother always said
that Uncle Dan was eccentric, but she
said he was hard headed, practical and
scorned useless extravagance, so— Oh,
I wonder, I wonder!"
Now she was wide awake and sitting
up in bed. In a second her feet wore
on the floor and she was pulling the
mandarin's coat from its place in her
dresser. She pulled down the shades
and lighted the gas. Graoe sat up in
bed and stared dazedly at her friend.
"What is the matter?" ste demanded
drowsily. "Are you crazy, Nellie llil
yer?"
Nellie turned her head away from
the biasing sun, at which she was
daintily snipping with her embroidery
scissors. 11 er face was pink with ex
citement, and her eyes shone.
"Grace Lane, I believe there really Is
a Jewel hidden under this embroidery,"
she cried eagerly.
Miss Lane opened her blue eyes wide
and yawned. Then she hopped out of
bed and sat down on the floor In side
Nellie.
Out of the raised interior of the em
broidered sun there rolled a lar^e
stone that caught the sordid gaslight
and reflected it in javelin poiuts ot'
flame. Now it glowed redly, palpitat
ing; now it was a still, crimson pool
of flame. It was as large as a hazel
nut
"It Is a ruby!" gasped Graoe faintly.
"It certainly isn't glass," admitted
Nellie. "So the poem did have a mean
ing after all, Grace. Isn't ic wonder
ful? Uncle Dan was trying to see If I
was clever enough to read the story on
the back of the coat Grace, do you
know what this ruby represents?"
Grace nodded cheerfully.
"Vine wreathed cottage—chickens
pony cart — everything that we've
dreamed about and never really ex
pected to come true!"
Nellie was looking though) fully nt
the mandarin's coat She t imed it
over and examined the blazing suns on
the sleeves and ou either front of the
garment
"Grace," she said quietly, "there are
four smaller reproductions of the gar
