Yes, my dear, it's only natural. Sue, I think 1' om will really be sorry he didn't ask you when he sees you in that lovely costume. Now, do hurry or you will be dreadfully late, answered Sue's gentle, kind mother. Oh mother, I do hope we can play this joke successfully. Yes, I'm gone this minute. Sue kissed her mother and ran down the stairs. bk 96 Dk The ball room was a combination of colors, not a dull corner in the place. Clowns dancing with beautiful ladies, a Chinese girl chatting with a Rus- sian peasantg a modern American girl and a pirate flirting, was what a lovely fairy saw as she entered the ball room. Her partner was a Brownie. That fairy! Without a doubt she was the most beautiful girl on the floor, and as the joy-making continued she proved to be the most popular. Tom thought he knew all the girls in his home town, but he was quite positive he had never laid eyes on this girl. As he was pondering whether to begin asking who she was, an accident occurred. The fairy's partner, Mr. Brownie, lost his mask. ' By jove! Itls Jack Wilson, exclaimed Tom in surprise. I thought he told me as we played tennis this afternoon that held decided not to attend the dance. I While jack was endeavoring to recover his mask, a dashing pirate swung the light-footed fairy away for a waltz. Tom made his way to Jack's side. Say, ole man, who's the fairy? Here, Tom, do help me fasten this mask. Sure, But, I say, that's some swell girl you brought to the dance. Won't you introduce me when we unmaskP The deuce! That pirate will have entirely es- caped with my fairy before you fasten that mask. Put a little speed in your finger tips! When the unruly object was suitably adjusted, jack started off without a word, but Tom wasn't to be bluffed like that. Raising his voice slightly he asked, But you will introduce me, won't you? No answer. Well, what could be the matter with Jack? He and Tom had been the best of pals last year in high school and here he was not even answering a civil question. Well, anyway, he wanted to meet that fairy! - Only once during the evening did he have a dance with the fair fairy, and then Jack cut in. When the order to unmask was given, Tom made it happen that he was standing near. Then jack whirled the fairy towards Tom and between spells of laughter said, ffMiss Webster, meet my sophisti- cated collegel friend, Mr.-Tom-Joseph-Web ster! After more laughing he continued while Tom just stared, HI heard you tell Sue you were go- ing to take Dorothy Phillips, and I knew it wasn't so. You see my brother took her to Charlotte yes- terday, where she is to spend three or four days with a friend. Sue and I decided we'd pull a little joke. At last Tom seemed to understand and then he blushed and stammered out, 'fOh, I get you, at last, Sue. You wanted to teach me you are not such a baby after all. Well, you certainly gave me a start when you unmaskedf' Then he regained all his old spirits as Sue, Jack, and he sped off in jack's road- ster. . CLASS OFFICERS.
