creaking vehicle came to a stop at the

her hand to her throat And then
Gertrude opened the door, admitting
Mr.. Jameson and stocky middle
aged man. Halsey was not with them.
When the door had closed and Louise
realized that Halsey had not come,
her expression changed. From tense
watchfulness to relief, and now again
to absolute despair, her face was an
open page.

MISS ANNIE DONNELLY'S
 CHRISTMAS NIASQUERADE

What Is more fascinating than a mas querade- And a masquerade at holi- day time when there are scores of young folk who have been separated for months, and many visitors among them is altogether enchanting. Miss Annie Nunnelly gave her friends the ]easure of a masquerade last night at the Country club, entertaining the college set in costume. There were college girls in cap and gown, frivol- ous Spanish dancers and coquettish Gypsy girls galore-to say nothing of cowled monks and demure nuns and brave knights. The hostess greeted her friends wearing a Norwegian peas ant gown brought from abroad the past summer and typical of peasant life in picturesque Norway. Masked as she was, she mingled among her guests un- known to them until a late hour and shared their pleasures as one of them.
 A favor cotillon was danced, the german being led by MT. Clarence Bar ker with Miss Donnelly. The favors were particularly attractive and in- cluded interesting Christmas souve- rirs. Miss Donnelly's was one of the most unique and enjoyable of all the holiday festivities
