Coward had seen him and was mo-

nation was embarrassing, and yet de-
lightful. He was glad he had dressed
for dinner.
"Join us. Eden" Coward said, as
he reached their table. "Just a little

session early this morning; that is
to say about o'clock when the sun
had warmed things up q little. The
question up for discussion was, Re-

affirmative and negative sides of the
question had strong followngs. The
reason for this extraordinary session
is the fact that the weather man
dished out today a brand of sunshine
and unusual warmth that has not
been experienced around these pants
for many moons. Many sportsmen
we're looking toward their fishing
