ones, in short, that you need the Rose-Day message. Why, you deserve to have to spend the next hour on the campus with me! H On such a morning your sentence is an invitation, and Clarence felt like he was in a dream as she moved beside him down the steps and across the grass to a rustic seat. In a few moments they were chatting as if they had known each other always. She told him how she had been raised a lonely child, and on first coming to college an unconquerable shyness had overcome her strong desire for comradeship. The other students had made overtures, had been apparently repulsed, had misunderstood and gradually ceased their attempts, and had come to regard her as cold and proud and self-centered. This opinion once established, later attempts at social intercourse had not altered it, and she had drawn back within herself and tried to become what she was considered. Then he told her how he had watched her and wished to know her all session, and how glad he was of the chance of the day. XVhen the bell rang for classes they separated at the door with a mutual understanding and a bright memory of the day. The rose was gone from Alma's hair. This was the first of many meetings. Afterwards not a day passed without its hour on the campus, its chat in the library, or game of tennis. Alma was seen at society and class meetings. People commented on the change and smiled significantly. Clarence made the most of the little time left him. Calls, walks, and drives followed each other in such rapid succession that if it had not been for the good work done earlier in the session both would probably have failed ingloriously on the final examinations. Commencement week came. The usual round of entertainments occurred, and at all of them Clarence and Alma were conspicuous figures. Onthe night of the alumni reception, after meeting the celebrities present, these two strolled out on the campus, Whither many couples had preceded them, and found a vacant seat under the old'elm near Lindsley Hall. The moon was shining bright, softening the outline of the old, stone buildings and causing dark shadows to chase each other among the vines which swayed gently in the breeze. Lindsley Hall was brilliantly lighted, and from the gymnasium, where the Alpha Phis were holding a farewell reception, came the sounds of revelry. For a while the couple talked on indifferent subjects, then Clarence drew something from his pocket and held it up before her. It was a faded rose. Do you remember it? H To be sure, I do. Isn't this an evidence? Don't you think I've learned my lesson well ? All of it? H Ye-es-. Then, counting on her fingers, It was social duty- Yes. And sympathy- ' ' Yes. H And humanity-. Here she paused. And love, he prompted. She was silent. Alma, have you learned that? I had learned it long before Rose Day. Yes, she whispered, I have learned that, too.
