All sorts of ideas flashed through his mind. Could her name be Jane Austin? And he had told l e' that he thought jane Austin queer. O, why hadn't Betty told him her name when she 'phoned? Now 1 1 he remembered liiow oddly she had acted when he said that jane was a queer girl, and how she had hesif ' Helen Arm- d l l asked her her name O he saw itiall now. Perhaps after all her name was tate W ien ie . , strong and she had borrowed the handkerchief. He would hope for the best anywayfno-, he would find out ' ' ' ' l h t that very night. He would go. to- vV111SlOVV,S room and look at his Smithson catalogue. That s exact y w a he would do if ever he reached his Frat house. W'hen he finally did get home, he rushed for the catalogue. There was the name, jane Austin, Coloe E 'd tl her d Breathlessly he searched for Helen Armstrong, but it was not to be found anywhere. vi en y ra o. name was jane Austin. Satisfied as to thattpoint he went to his room to think the thing out. He called . , d h h' lf ll orts of names but of what use was that-that would not mend matters. He would sen er imse a s some roses in the morning-probably that would help. With that he went to bed, but notto sleep. Several nights after, much to the surprise of every one, Jane Austin had a caller. VVhat do- you ? G' l l t,s think of that, said one of the girls, jane, queer little jane, having a caller?

Turn around and let me see you. I never saw you look so pretty before. And then tor herself, If Jack doesn't like her, I'll give up. e As it chanced none o-f the girls came in, so Jane, flushed and excited, was able to get dressed without much difficulty. It was not until the dancing had commenced that Betty was missed. Then the girls, not being able to see her, thought that she must be in the next room dancing, and so gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the evening. - jane, in a corner of one of the large rooms, was unnoticed by the dancers. Never had she looked lovelier, and never did she fee'l happier. I-Ier partner had looked disappointed when he called for her, but no one could accuse him of any such thing after he had seen the two together. He seemed loath to leave her side, and to tell the truth he did not leave it often. Q, by the way, do you know Betty's room-mate? Jack said, during one of the intermissions. She is a queer sort of a girl,'isn't she? Jane, who was very busy at that moment examined her handkerchief, did not look up, so all that he could see was a very red cheek and an ear still more red.

There's a dear little woman, who lives 'cross the Way And while yo-u are with her the world is all gay, And her husband, well he is the best man on earth, And no one here can know how great is his Worth, Of course they're the Wfyants as all of you see, And Without them Weld hate to- think, what Bishop- , thorpe would be. We'll sing of his praises 'til his last day has come And still shall We marvel at how much he has done. - i K. M. B. ., ,JL
