 Then she sang. Professor Burton had suggested something little light. So she selected an old-time faEOrite of her fathers that her mother had sung in courtship days and looked straight at the student sitting on the window seat when she came to the refrain that "she was looking right into the eyes of the only man she loved" So effective was her song when she came to these words that several students turned around to see where her eyes rested, and Roy Yates, now really em- barrassed for the first time, rose with apparent listlessness, and, after pre- tending to look at one or two pictures on the wall, stood beside the piano. When Sally finished her song he said something to her that made Sally as much embarrassed as he had been.
 Then came tea. Mrs. Burton poured and Sally helped the students who were too awkward to help themselves. Sally passed Roy a cup of tea, which he accepted with much gravity and without a smile. How many Jumps of sugar." she asked, holding the sugar tOngs over the teacup.
 None, thank yOu," he said.
 Cream or lemOnY she asked.
 "Neither" he said, and sighed a little.
 Then Sally lowered about him with plate of little cakes. She begged him to take one. She had made them herself. but he declined them. And frosted this enc just for yOu," she pleaded. Still he declined. She was no more successful with the nuts and hOnb0nS.
 It seemed like d coincidence, though probably it was the result of careful planning, that Sally happened to sit beside Roy Yates at a basketball meet few nights later. He was alone and she was with her mother on the invitation of one of the men who played on the team.
 After the first intermissiOn Roy looked quite mtently at Sally and said clearly, though in tone that was audible only to themselves: Il don't know what you meant by tOrturing me SO Sally Burton. You deliberate ly set out to make me-IOve yOu-and you succeeded. Tell me now why you did it?'
 'I did it," faltered Sally with her eyes lowered, because you seemed so bored Father said l ought to try and make the students feel acquainted and-well. so few of the students at those tea parties seem worth getting acquainted with."
 A few days later Sally was Roy Yates guest at one of the Lambda Chi dances. Roy broke an unwritten rule by bringing a town girl. But then the rule is always broken in favor of engaged men. Roy told the committee he was as good as en- gagged.
 He told Sally the circumstances. II couldn't tell the committee definitely, ' he said, "because I haven't proposed, and l can't propose now because it isn't good form to propose to a girl away from her own home, is it?"
 Sally said she didn't know, that she never thought about such things.
 Then she danced with Roy Yates roommate He asked for a second dance and she promised just one if he would tell her something she wanted to know "Why did Roy Yates come to fathers at-h0me?" She rather ex- pected that Roy had seen her some where and had sought this means of getting acquainted.
 "Oh, that was funny" replied ROy's roommate. We had to penalize Roy in some way. He dropped a lighted cigarette in the waste basket one day and nearly set the house on fire. Something had to be done. So we sent him to those tea parties fOr-Pm sorry to have to tell yOu-fOr punish ment. One of the conditions was that he must drink tea clear-he hates it. unyway-and never take cake or candy, which he loves"
 'Oh. Pm $" glad"' cried Sally. "Td never want to marry man who didn't have sweet tOOth."
