"NIGHT|ES'
WORN IN
CHASE Y

Members of the Acacia Fra.
ternity, of George Washington
University, held an informal
pajama reception at the frat
house, 1907 Massachusetts, Ave
N. W., at 4 a. m. today in
order that the boys might
meet William Thornton, 38
colored, of the 1700 block OF
V st. n. w.
A lovely time was had by all,
with the possible exception Of viii
liam.
The reception was an impromptu
affair and had its inception in the
desire of Brother Charles Fleck for
scholastic perfection. Brother
Charles was studying ayidly about
3 a.. m.s But noises j on the first
tloors ot the house disturbed his
concentration.
All Accept
Brother Fleck was suspicious and
he went to the dormitory and awoke
Brothers Charles Riddle and Edward
Trilety. Then invitations went out
for. the reception. The other 20
members of the fraternity accepted
gladly, all having wanted to meet
William Thornton for some time.
William had no idea Of meeting
the young men, however. In fact,
when the boys started on a search

wearing their pajamas in prepara-
ton for the reception, they couldn't I
fiad him.
But few minutes later one Of
the brothers saw a form emerge
from the house. He shouted and
Brother Riddle Joined him. Together
they set out to gather in the guest
of honor.
Brother Riddle Runs Well
Brother Riddle is quite a track
man, and. though his speed was
somewhat curtailed by reason Of the
fact that he was carrying healthy
baseball bat, he gained steadily on
the fleeing guest. Brother Riddle
came to the conclusion that he
might be gaining little too steadily
because the other brothers were far
behind. including President, Brother
Russell Wilson.
The efficacy of the bat as an in.
Ndfation to the guest Of honor might
not be so strong, Brother Riddle
concluded, but he kept on anyway.
Finally at Eighteenth Street and
Massachusetts, Avenue. he overlook
his quarry.
Shortly Brother Riddle was joined

MOOSE MASQUERADE
 ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

One of the most enjoyable affairs of the season was held last night when the Women of Mooseheart Legion were hostesses at a Hal loween masquerade which was giv- en in Moose Hall.
 The many lovely costumes worn by the large crowd of guests at tending the affair made it extreme ly difficult for the judges to de- eide upon the best, but they finally req h e d the following decisions first prize for the most appropriate costume for women was awarded Mrs. Gorham, and for the gentle men the award went to Mrs. flag land; first prize for the most comi- cal went to Rosena Messerschmidl, and to Fred Sorberg; and first prize for the best sustained charac- ter was awarded Mrs. Monagle, Sr., and Mrs. Archie Radelet.
 The judges also found that they had awarded prizes to women when they thought that they were award ing them to gentlemen. The com mittee-in-charge will be glad to untangle this peculiar and intri- cate predicament.
 Delicious pumpkin pies and apple pies were served besides the usual Halloween refreshments.
 The committees in charge of the dance, the entertainments, and the refreshments are to be congratu- lated upon a most pleasant evening.

rich and there's no need for you to work"
 Ray, not understanding the sud- den sharp jealousy that had driven her to speak as she had, said harshly:
 If you talk like that Rita, you'll make me mad Don't you know any better than that? Why, I wouldn't give up this chance for anything in the world
 Now you wouldn't, but, maybe, should you see your wife again.
 Then Rita did foolish thing. For no apparent reason her voice cracked and she found herself blinking back tears. One trickled down her nose and fell on the piano keys. Ray saw it and looked up at her in amazement.
 Whats got you, Rita dear? This isn't like you at all I may be dumb but I can't make head or tail of itl"
 The girl smiled at him wistfully and sniffed twice. What a dear stupid he was A more conceited man would have sensed intuitively what ailed her!
 "It's just that I don't want you to let down on this score" she lied.

 The irony of the situation kept him chuckling most of that night, but there was something sardonic in his chuckle Anyhow, it aroused Ritas suspicious.
 Later, as they were together at work in her apartment, she insisted upon knowing it's cause. He told her. And although she tried not to let him see 1t, she was afraid.
 "Why should you go, Ray? They could find another sax to take your place. And Ray, if you do go, sec ing your wife again, may make you decide to go back to her Then, you'll forget all about working on this score-forget the dreams we've shared together. After all, if she's

Chapter 29 AN IRONIC LAUGH

Invitations were already issued for the grand ball with which Bar bara intended reopening her Long Island home. A large ballroom was being erected expressly for the purpose.
 The ball, itself was to be in the nature of circus party. The in- terior of the hall was to be turned into the replica of circus tent, the guests being asked on the invita- tions to come in circus costumes.
 At first Barbara threw herself into the preparations with a sort of nervous frenzy, supervising every thing personally. But soon she collapsed under the strain of it. Thus it happened that before the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-11-01

final date most of the arrange ments fell into Henderson's hands.
 Thus he managed to convey to the world at large that a definite understanding existed between him. self and Barbara. It was regret table though true, that in the weeks immediately preceding the ball he borrowed extensively, on this supposition, money of which he stood urgently in need.
 As to maneuverlng a loan, he found certain gentlemen in the city only too ready to oblige him. The wealthy Mrs. Lowthers name had been too frequently connected with his of late for them to believe that the risk they took was greater than is usual.
 Barbara had instructed Hender- son to spare no expense. There fore 1t was not out of the ordinary that he should make a bid for the services of the Golden Symphony Eight. He interviewed Bill per- Eonally and the offer being far too temptingly to be refused, Bill readily vouched for himself and his boys.

 "What?" Ray had swung round suddenly on his heel
 s"Yes," replied the astonished Bill. What's up, Ray? Know the fel- low?"
 "Yes-yes-" Ray had turned away from him towards the win dow. Bill fancied that he heard him laughing to himself in crack ed, unpleasant sort of way.
 'Got anything against him, Ray? Think we'll get our money, all right?"
 Sure. You'll get your money"
 Then it was that Bill noticed the unusual whiteness of the younger mans face.
 "You see" Ray explained a mo- ment later, T happen to suspect the fellows acting for my wife"
 ssFor your wife!" Then a mo- ment later: Now. come to think of it, the name he gave was that of a Mrs. Lowther. Look here Ray. We don't go if you'd rather we didn't. Even if we do there's no need for your going.
 Ray didn't answer directly. Sc Barbara and Henderson were as thick as ever. It hurt, that. ever while he told himself he had de- serted her, practically throwing hei right into Henderson's arms. Still he had imagined she would soon have tired of the Englishman.
 That. again. was her affair. But if was his whether or not he should go with tie boys that night His first impulse had been to re- fuse outright, but gradually, as he thought of 1t, an ironical kink il

 "You know I wouldn't do that, Rita he protested with an impa- tient gesture. Then, as though to humor her, Look here, will this convince you? The ball should be over by two-that means I could get back here easily by three. That is not whole lot later than we usually work and we can do a bit on it then. What do you say to that?"
 She frightened, even essayed 8 laugh.
 But Ray was uncomfortably aware that Rita's gaiety that night was assumed. From then on the true state of affairs began slowly to dawn upon him.
