Good Evening.
FEBRUARY

The sun is higher in the sky And quickly the winter days go by, With February the shortest month Of the year, Dull and dreary and without much cheer. Days are just little bit longer, When the sun shines it's little bit stronger- A good month to nurse grouch, To go about with an indifferent slouch. A good month for a cold in the nose, To get good and sick of ones winter clothes Winter in February spirits at low ebb Except those of the seasons brightest deb,- good month to add up ones losses, To get out on the Ice and take few losses. But the sun is higher in the sky With brighter days to come bye and bye.

toners a thrill.
He left her when he could, and
hurried to find Sara Sue. She had
seen him-and just for devilment
she pretended to be angry. But she
couldn't keep up the pose; the hurt
look in his eyes would not let her.
She had to laugh.
You're getting lot Of practice,
Thornton" she assured him then.
''Soon you will be absolutely ct
ease, in any kind of society"
''I think so," he agreed. IT am.
it is actually pleasure! Mostly"
But-ah me, Thornton. One does
not conquer world in single
evening.
It is nice, to be sure, to have a
burly ship worker adopt you for a
friend. and not be jealous when
you dance twice with his pretty
wife. 1t is nice to have many girls
admire you openly. It is even nice
in its way-to have pretty
woman dance with her cheek
against yours; that is, it is a sat-
isfactory sensation. But these
things do not mean that a perma-
nent bridge to happiness has been
built.
Sara Sue Davis herself was
pretty. She might well have won
any contest to select the prettiest
girl there. The men present were
not blind to that fact. Especially
was Mr.. Duke O'Reilly conscious
of her, Immediately after he ar
rived.
Mr.. O'Reilly was due to sail to-
morrow for Liverpool, London and
Cherbourg on cotton freighter.
Out of Houston, that would mean
81 days at sea, and 81 more COM
| ing back. It would be pleasant to
know that a girl like that one yon-
| der (Sara Sue) was waiting. Mr..
lO'Reilly was an A. B. In Thornton
Holgate's world, A. B. meant
Bachelor of Arts. In Mr.. O'Reilly's
world, it meant able-bodied sea-
man, a hard, herman job.
There is no real need to dwell
on the somewhat rapid processes
by which Mr.. O'Reilly worked up
to the object of his desires. He
simply fortified himself with a few
more drinks of gin, barged up to
her and said, Chicken, you're
mine. And nobody else's, see?" I'm
fortunately he did it when DIR.
Thornton Holgate was at Sara
| Sues side.
When his ,ieer and his liquor
breath offended her SO that she de-
clined to dance with him, Mr.. Duke
i O'Reilly made some more CONVEX
! sation, and kissed her smack on
the shoulder before she realized
what had happened.
"Ohr' she cried, but Mr.. O'Reil-
ly pulled her into his arms, dane
ing. Don't :. don't!" she
shrieked again, but Mr.. O'Reilly
laughed loudly and forced her on.

(who, of course, earned his own

Eate) stood there agape. holding one

tickets and dance with any unat-
tached girl you like, Thorny. Just
go up and ask her. It's the style
here. Nobody will know you. None
of the Rice crowd ever comes here.
That's why suggested this place."
It was a hard dosage for him,
at first.
Hard for Thornton Holgate,
Phi. D., to ask a painted up little
girl, whose name he didn't even
know, to dance with him. But he
managed it. Be blushed and STAN
mered, but he managed it. And
danced with her reasonably well. !
He didn't discover it at first, but,
within an hour or so he was hav-1
ing a corking good time. MAY I
have the next dancer" he would
ask some pretty girl, and away
he'd go! There was, about this, a
thrill of conquest. Such as a hunter
knows when bagging choice game.
Or a fisherman hooking fine bass.
It simply never occurred to
Thornton that he looked like the
proverbial million dollars to this
crowd. He and his sen1i-formal
clothes looked like class. He out
shohe every other man present. He
was distinguished looking, and act
uai1y handsome now that he had
left his glasses at home. His face
was animated, his conversation
correct but not too prin. The
whole experience was tonic to him,
and quite unwittingly he impressed
most of the women and girls there.
BY the same token, however, he
also impressed the men.

Mr.. White smelled Of the sea. He
weighed more than 200. His mus
cles bulged. But his eyes were wide
and frank, which offset his need
of "a shave. Don't never see many
important people here, Holgate,"
he avowed. proud to know you."
Now that was simply, directly
said, and Mr.. White was dancing
on away. But the sincerity Of it
thrilled Thornton as much as a
eulogy from DR.. Lovett would have
done. The young faculty man felt
