xi! xi! 'lLiTEsAsYll.' xx A ,Av A-RK 0 Qiha The ablative absolute is passive in form and active in meaning. At these words of wisdom a youth in the rear of the class shift- ed rapturously in his seat. What had, but a moment before, been a dreamy yet inquiring face now broke into a delicious smile, a blush spread oyer it, the lips moved ever so slightly, a tremulous hand straightened a tie and brushed back a wisp of light hair. The head nodded slightly and the lips form- ed the words: You mean you are absolutely positive you will come. Oh, that'll be fine. The smile broadened. Heyl what's the joke, Nibbs. All you have to do is look intelli- gent and here you are staring off into infinity and grinning like a Chesy cat in long grass.

Annabelle Evans, blonde and beautiful, agreed to come. Why dwell on the period preced- ing that eventful Sunday. Heart rending days they were for the young lover who strove valiantly and successfully against a mother who, instead of a meal of chicken, fruit, cake, apple-pic and ice-cream, suggested tomato soup, sausages and prunes, and against a father who was prone to promenade on Sundays without a coat, and in his sock feet. Ilut he did not reckon with his little sistei' Eva. I'm glad Alfred invited you, was very pretty, but what demon possessed her to say, 'cos We're going to have ice-cream. The boy blushed and wasted an annihilating glance on the little insect. Un-
