a visitor.
Perry Wainwright, redolent of band
box and soap as ever. found his way
past the doorkeeper and burst into the

What clever men you must be at
that club! Are YOU going to the ad-
ministration ball next week."
Are you?'
"Why?"
Because that's the answer. I've
never been to an administration ball,

Don't be silly. The administration
ball is a very great function indeed
I've been asking questions about It.
Not only every one connected with the
administration goes, but all sorts OF
capitalists and other people like that
I've heard that some of the biggest
financial deals are arranged during
that ball. Isn't 1t queer?"
"Not especially. There's deal I'm
thinking of putting through myself
that night II don't get good chance
earlier-a deal that means lot to
me-"
Then why wait till the ball? Why
