Rodney had known her for about a
year. The PARENTS of both smiled In
diligently upon the manifest mutual
sentiments of the couple. Rodney re
garded Ivy as a being ethereal. He
was so, imbued with a sense Of her
priceless perfection,that he grew abashr

gain the love of this peerless creature,

courage to disclose what had been ur-

cept the ring" breathed Rodney cour-
ageously. and counted the hours till
the arrival Of the evening party. Ivy
received him with gracious smile
that set every nerve tingling, but as
the hostess Of the evening she could
give him no further exclusive atten-

partly through the efforts Of the young
lady in question to make II 30. and In

Miss Isle was a siren In mild

termed the crude social ways Of Rock
