BY HELENA DAVIS.

The boys and girls Of DashtOwn were making great preparation for q St. Val entipe's party. Two of tSe town girls May Bruce and Stella Jones-were the chief promoters" us they styled ths m selves. The project was of their planning and they got together every evening after school to talk over the forthcoming fes- tivity.
 IL had been unanimously voted by the ! bcys and girls 10 accept the klnd offer of Jack Downs to have the party at his home. for Jacks mother was a royal chaperone and hostess to her boys young friends; and the Downs house was a spacious one. being finely fitted for the entertainment of guests.
 Have you made out the list of gusests?' Jack asked May and Stella one evening as the three walked from school together. "0h, yes, Jack" answered May. And as the party is 10 be at your house we want to submit the list to you, 1t being your privilege to add or subtract names. you know. Stella and l have tried to omit none of our friends. and hope we have Included no one you will object to-"
 ''Oh, us for my obiectlng to any one. laughed Jack. 'I nm sure there isn't boy or girl In town who Is not welcome at ny house. only hope you haven't forgotten anyone. It Is hard 10 he left out. you know. And I shall avail myself of the privilege you have granted me and add any name or names of those whom. you might have overlooked"
 As Jack said this he looked rather knowingly ct the two girls. and his look ..H NaNaH WkgWw NnNuH ekA-- tended lot to have noticed anything un- usual In his tone or manner. and Stellu handed him the sheet of paper containing the chosen list Of names for the Nalen- tine party.
 Say, wasn't Jack nasty, though?" asked May, as soon as she and Stella were out of bis hearing, having parted with him at the corner. ''l know what he meant, all right. He greatly admires Lily Long, and as sure as fate hell want tO add her name to the list
 Well, we'll never. never consent to have her invited" declared Stella. Her sanctIhed face. her very proper manner and narrow miud, dness make me disgust ed. The other day she caught me cheat ing al exam. and the way she looked at me would have made one think . had committed m unpardOnable sin. l hate her. And how the teachers and q few of The boys do dote on her. She's \ de ceitful little rat That's my opinion of her."

Her father clerks in 1O-cent store and her mother does plain sewing. Those are reasons enough why she should not be invited Into our set

 And so do l. mamma" confessed Jack. And we must have her st the party
 The following day Jack spoke to Stella and May regarding their having omitted Lllys name from the guest list which they had made out.
 Stella drowned then said. hesitatingly: Jack. l don't want to be unpleasant about this matter but several of us girls cant consent to having Lily Long forced upon us. 1 know she's doing everything to get ln. but-well she has many quail ties that are not -nOt.-well. 10 be open with you.

 We'll not discuss her father. Stella" said Jack, sternly. Besides, were we to do SO We could say nothing III of him save that he has been unfortunate. He works hard and earns little pay That Is nothing against him-that I can see. But mother and l want Lilys name on the guest list. In fact. mother has become quite an enthusiastic admirer Of Lily Long. So, we've decided to send her Rn invitation to attend the St Valentines party And I hope you girls will not feel offended that we do this against your wishes"
 Before Stella or May could say a word Jack had left them, joining a group of boys who were discussing the coming party.
 Well, and so Miss Lily Long is to be q guest, in spite of our wishes" said Stella. ''I shall make 1t d point to cut her. just the same
 And so shall I.'' declared May. But who do you suppose Jack will choose for his valentine? l half guess she will be you"
 Well, l was his valentine at last years party" said Stella. But this year he has not been 50 nice to me. l wonder if that LII Long hasn't said something ugly
