too"
Sally's cheeks grew very pink, and
Rob settled down TO his Latin.
Early the next morning. the twins
went on another round of calls, and
carried dainty notes TO the girls. in
which Sally had fully explained the
situation. And by afternoon the girls,
including Sally. had tickets for the
concert and ed arranged TO meet at
the assembly rooms at an early hour.

sent the twins to spend the evening
with a neighbor; Jim had gone into
the country for the night. and the way
was clear for her TO carry out her
/ idea. The twins were permitted to
assist in preparing the supper for the
boys, and their part was 10 go after
the candlesticks, which the girls had
offered for the occasion.
Sally's eyes sparkled as she spread
the snowy table cloth and placed the
silver at each plate. with a napkin and
even a finger bowl On the side. In
front Of each plate stood a lighted
candle, and in the center Of the table
was large candelabra with six
candles Standing by this was a large
card with the following printed mes
sage:
Light suppcrs
For foolish buffers
on All Fools Eve"
Sally made good her escape and met
the boys on the way TO the house Rob

she smiled reassuringly, and said: Il
| had an invitation out 20 tea, boys, and
! left a light supper on the table; YOU
can just help yourselves. thought
YOU might enjoy having a little party
all by yourselves, you know"
The boys agreed that that would be
the finest thing ont, and Sally hurried
on o meet the girls.
Rob was hilarious and opened the
dining-room door with a grand flour

hungry as a bear, and I"
Here he stopped short and a lool

face. The lighted candles had sur
