Too long he had delayed. He must speak. If only he could see her alone for just five minutes; but she was always surrounded by bevies of giggling girls, or a group of handsome admirers. Moreover ( how could she!) she even encouraged and flirted with some of them. But tonight he was in hick. As he quitted the warm, bright room, which was full of gay, chattering young people, lie espied her. alone. at the end of the hall, leaning against a pillar and gazing, with those adorable blue eves, wistfully out of the window. Noiselessly he approached, his mind a chaos as he tried to assemble suitable words with which to address her. ‘Pardon me. but might I speak to you?’ he queried, and. as the passionate words rushed out. lie continued, ‘You arc the most beautiful creature I have ever seen; your hair, your eyes, your lips, are so lovely. I adore you! I would die for you. 1 cannot wait another moment but must know immediately—Will you marry me? Speak, speak, or I die! ' Slowly the lady turned, and looked at the desperate man.

Now when 1 went to school it was a different story. “Yes, Dad.” “Where are you in your Algebra now?” Oh. we’ve just learned all about Permutations and Combinations.” All, yes. Great stuff. I remember that sort of question. Using the twenty-six letters of the alphabet and the ten digits, find how many licence plates can be made, if each plate contains two letters and three digits, and if no plate may begin with zero or a letter. Great stuff, great stuff. You know, Mathematics is a wonderful subject. Did I ever tell you how I proved that your ancestors came to England with William the Conqueror? No? Well now. you have two parents, four or two squared grandparents, eight or two cubed great-grandparents, and so on until ’n’ genera¬ tions back you have two to the nth power ances¬ tors. Now, allowing three generations to a century (a conservative estimate since they married young in those days—you know grandpa says his grandma was married at thirteen) in the eleven centuries since the conquest, you find that SECOND PRIZE DRAWING R.
