was not a small affair to see the old

each guest was to stand, glass in hand,
and drink to the new year, but there
was to be dancing In both years and
no breaking up before dawn.
The New Years party was to be an

that he might call upon her for the
purpose Of receiving it, but when in

she told him that she would give it to
him on that occasion.
Miss Martndale felt that she should
accept Mr. Munger because he was
rich. Nevertheless she didn't wish to
accept him, because that scapegrace,
Tom Oakley, had stolen her heart.
