the midst of a business meeting when

in sheets. 1t was some time before
the boys could make out who their
disturbers were, but they finally
learned that they were young ladies
of their own class, most of them
members of the l.. +. c. club. The
boys made the most of the situation
and entertained their self-invited
guests in a way that made the time
pass all too rapidly. The boys have
decided to give dance at the Tower
