A supply Of butter that WILL keep

Singapore would see the end, and

She clasped the necklace around her
lovely throat. She was dressing for
dinner, really dressing. An impish
mood filled her with the irrepressible
desire to shine in all her splendor to-
night. Covertly she would watch the
eyes of mediocrity widen. Hitherto
they had seen her in the simple white
OF travel. Tonight they should behold
the woman who had been notable
among the beauties in Paris, Vienna,
Rome, London; who had not married a
duke simply because his title could
not have added to the security Of her
| position, socially or financially.
Into the little mirror above the wash
stand she peered, with smiling and ap.
proving eyes. Never had she looked
better. There was unusual color in
her cheeks and the clarity of her eyes
spoke illuminatingly Of superb health.
The tan on her face was not made
noticeable in contrast by her shoulders
and arms, old ivory in tint and as
smooth and glossy as ancient Carrara.
"You lovely creature!" murmured
Martha, touching an arm with her lips.
"You are foolish to dress like this"
She finished the hooking of Elsa's

Martha searched but found no suit

most ably affirmed by Roby L.oyelaces
Annie Norwood, and John Long, while
James Yates, Homer Eimers and Mac
Leonard ably supported the present
system. The verdict of the judges, as
read, was two for the affirmative and
one for the negative, which however
was an error which has since been
corrected.
Each debater was marked upon his
individual ability, the first place be-

Yates and Annie Norwood a close sec

awarded fine medals
While the young men who represent
