"Be sure to let me know when you
run in to New York" said George
Mason to the pretty girl with whom
he had just been dancing.
Eyes, 1 will" she answered. "But
don't think of going in for a while
yet. It is too warm"
Just then George wished he might
not have to go to New York for some
time. It was more to his liking to
spend part of the day on the beach
talking with this same pretty girl,
Grace Parks, and to put in the re-
mainder of the time dancing with her
in the evening.
Grace did not live in New York,
but she had a cousin there, at whose
home she occasionally visited. The
prospect of being given ga good
time" by young Mason had its allure
ments to the girl, who had to help
out her small income by teaching
music. Besides, she had begun to
want to see as much as possible of
Mason; to put it plainly, he had be-
come, rather necessary to her happi-
ness.
Look here, Grace!" said her
friend, Amy French, the next morn
ing after the dance, edo you know
who that Mr.. Mason is?"

chap and 1 like him. He has just
graduated from Princeton, and

have been together that doesn't seem

ple?" .
