Sally had made some observation.
She said, with a tone of being much
impressed. that he wore lambda
Chi pin She didn't know any Of the
Lambda CHS. They were all students
with some money and never asked
town girls to dance and things but
imported them from home.
The next Friday Roy Yates arrived
again, and Sally, following instruc-
lions, was already seated on the win
dow seat when he came. He took his
place before he saw her. and then,
finding no chance to escape, did his
best to retain his air OF polite indif-
ference. But he melted, as who
wouldn't under the circumstances
Quite without intent, Sally could
touch the heart of most undergradu-
ates if not at first sight, at least on
second sight. And, If Sally tried, she
could make anyone fall in love with
her. She was trying now. Her father
and mother had asked her to be nice,

cinating as possible.
Then she sang. Professor Burton
| had suggested something little light.
| SO she selected N old-time favorite 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 sefrain
| 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 en-
barrassed for the first time, rose with
| apparent llstlessness, and, after pre-
| tending 10 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
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 one Just for you," she
| pleaded. Still he declined. She was
no more successful with the nuts and

| 1t seemed like Il coincidence, though
| probably IL was the result of careful
planning, that Sally happened to sit
| beside Roy Yates at Il bask etball 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 intermlssion Roy
looked quite lntently at Sally and said
clearly, though in a tone that was

you succeeded. Tell me now why you

~ did it," faltered Sally with her
eyes lowered because you seemed so
bored. Father said 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. ~

he said, because | haven't proposed.
and ! can't propose now because II
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

dance and she promised just one II he
would tell her something she wanted

"Oh. that was funny" replied Roy's
roommate. we had 10 penalze 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

"Oh I'm So glad!' cried Sally "Td
