was going to be allowed to 80 to
the prom this year. Her grand
mother gave her $50 to buy her

Of the boys asked her. Can't blame
them. Then they counted on hav-
ing Tom take her out but Tom. it
seems had got engaged to a girl Of
his own and the little fiancee
wasn't going to let Tom take little
sister. 1t seems that the girl lives
in town and her folks wouldn't let
her so 10 Barlow's to dinner with
Tom, so Tom took Jane. She look
ed a little wistful-kind Of pathetic,
having the dress and everything"

the dance is at .. guess we can
just about make arrangements. "
First there was IL telephone COM
munication with Tom MatcIanh ard
Dalton Drew Mt the Maitland
house. Dalton had come to town
hoping to be able TO 20 TO the
dance, he said, but he had no part
ner. Was it possible that his sister
would consent to 20? Then the
florist had arrived with box so
full Of orchids that little Jane
Mateland's eyes overflowed with
tears and happiness. At $3.50 Dali
ton Drew looking the incarnation
of evening propriety, but smelling
a little Of the FOrsyth's cedar chest,
arrived. He was imeasurably re-
lieved 10 find that the evening
dress bought with her grand
mothers $50 did not fit so we'll or
look so smart as to rob Jane en-
tirely Of her charming awkward
ness. Dalton had great longing
to tell Jane that she was the most
charming girl he had ever secn-hc
knew 1t would be the first time any
one had ever told her that. But
he didn't tell her then: he wanted
to wait until he could gather Jane
and her stiff pink silk dress into
his arms and feel the firm smooth
ness Of her checks against his own.

But It was possibly the only en-
vironmcnt in which Dalton Drew
could have brought himsclr to this
important decision, for the whole
place was laden with associations
of his youth. There was glamour
about 1t that seemed to close in
about him rs he started to dance
with Jane Maitland and that did
not depart from him when, two
days later, he found himself back
in his law office with tho knowl-
edge tint he had asked for and re.
