There are over 1000 debutantes
awaiting their opportunity to be
presented to their British majesties
during the present season. This,
of course, is the result of there
having been no drawing rooms dur
ing the years of the war. Since it
would be impossible for so many
presentations to be carried out in
the old formal style, the order has
gone forth that there will be a
series of afternoon parties, and
that the presentation will be made
in morning and not court dress.

How Peter Was Going to Haze

Peter and Hal were eating sand
Niches on the back porch.
Gee said Hal between bits, Il
wished had q mamma to give me
sandwiches and things. II l asked the
cook, she fuses; and II / ask tho
housekecper, she tells me II isn't
healthy; and then / have to go to the
store and get candy or something"
After Hal had gone Peter thought
the matter over. Who did he know
that would make Hal a good mother?
Just then Aunt Grace came tripping
up the walk. She got a kiss in pay
mont for a peppermint and went on
In the house. Peter heard her tell
mamma that she had come for sup
per. He had sudden idea. Why
not Aunt Grace? She was pretty, and
Hal already liked her. He had called
her q peach" that. very day. That
she would give him sandwiches Peter
was sure.
Peter ran into his mother. Mamma,
Hal says he and his dad get awful
lonesome at night. Couldn't they
come over after supper and we could
pop corn and play the new record
Daddy brought home tonight"
Mamma was quite pleased. why,
yes. guess so. Halls papa certainly

believe mel"
Ardine looked thoughtful. How
much will it cost, Bruce?"
About eight hundred dollars-less
than half value. We'll have to cut out
something else, maybe that new sun
parlor; but we can have that later.
And of course we've got to have some
thing for the crowd Of men when they
drop in. The best people will expect
it; as usual"
"Such as Tom Twist?" returned Ar
dine. Bruce, won't stand for do
ing without that sun parlor. 1t would
simply spoil the housed"
But why relate in detail the discus
sion which followed? For the first
time since the engagement they dis
agreed. The COED night kiss was
omitted and angry words took its
place.
That night Ardine had terrible
dream. She was passing once more by
MaIooney's saloon and again old Tom
Twist lurched through the door. But
this time he made directly toward her
with appraised f1st-and his features
were those Of Bruce Stebbins. With
scream the girl awakened, but there
was no more sleep for her that night.
Bruce was. thoroughly angry when
he left the Hunters house and in no
mood to 20 home. Instead he stop
ped in at the club, and running into a
crowd who were celebrating for the
thirtieth time the funeral OF John Bar
leycorn" Joined the mourners.
1t was morning when the joyful OBJ
sequies were finished and 1t was much
later too late to report at the office,
even had he felt in condition to do 30
when Bruce awoke.
There was nothing to do, OF course,
Bruce knew the excuse would not be
given credence. The superintendent
had been in the club the might before
so had Ardine's uncle. 1t wasn't. And
then came a note from Ardine.
Bruce tore It open gloomily, ex-
pecttng upbraiding and verbal tears.
Uncle had told Of course! But not in
vain had Ardine pondered through the
long, sleepless hours. And the con-
tents Of the letter upset the man. far
more than pleading or remonstrance:
In simple words Ardine had witten
of what Miss Tanning had told her
and of her dream. But Bruce dear"
she had finished 81 have all the faith
in the world in you. withdraw my
objection to the purchase OF that Ii
quor, safe in the belief that you love
me too much to bring disgrace near

For fully an hour Bruce stebbins
stared at the letter. Then he made
the decision which removed the infin.
itesdmal speck from the rose-colored
glass and made July liza date Of no
significance for him. He climbed up
on the water wagon and sat down
hard.
