GREEN AS IRISH

DAY IS OBSERVED
The Shamrock supplanted the
orange blossom as the Valley
flower Saturday aa the Irish came
fully into their own on St. Patrick’s
Day.
The “Wearin* av the Grane” be-
came the thing to do as well as
whistle most residents blooming
forth with a button-hole Sham-
rock or a bit of the good old Irish
green that has become a time-hon-
ored custom among admirers of the 1
Irish the world over.
There are those in the Valley—
many of them—who figuratively
wear the green all ytiar and thefr
color scheme was more prominent
than those of the worshippers at
the shrine of St. Patrick.
Novelty shops all over the Val-
ley reported ap excellent run of
business on green novelties of all
descriptions and a few clothing
stores recorded the sale of free a
suits. __
