Doth Virginia and Kathleen have become inteicsted in two men from Grant College. In fact Kathleen claims that she is engaged. JIMMY ANDEBSON and Hill Lyons accepted Mrs. 'West's dinner invita tion with alacrity. Virginia was quite wild with excitement, and grateful In the extreme In her mother for planning tho nffalr. The afternoon before the dinner Mrs. West went to Virginia's room directly after lunch and asked her what nlic was going to wear. Kath leen, -who had gouo out to lunch with a friend of her mother's who was in town for thn holldajs, was not present. "I'd wear the llltle yellow dress it I were, you," Mrs. AVcst said, snroothly. "Hut Mother, t look so young in that." Vlrginin protested. "Don't you want to look jounc?" Mrs. 'West's yolec was amused. "When you get to be ns old as I am, joull want to wear frockH that mako you look as young as possible. By the way, what is Kathleen going to wear?" "I don't know." "Well, X hope it is something simple. Kathleen's taste is apt to run to the extreme. That hat with tho aigrette is much too old for her. Why is it that girls of your age always want to make ourselves as old as you can?'.' "Why Mother. I don't think that hat is too old. Kathleen looks stunning in it, it just suits her." Mrs. West laughed. That the hat suited Kathleen, wus no doubt true, and if Mrs. West had known flint that .toung woman was planning to wear the dress that had been forbidden at school, there is no doubt of the fact that sho would havo been surprised. But, tak ing for granted that Knthleon would have simple school frocks, and inas much, as the girl did not come in tilt after 4 o'clock, Mrs. West made no further inquiries and it was not till -he saw tho girl in tho living-room talking to Air. Allen that she saw Kathleen dressed for dinner. Mr. Allen, taking advantage of his old friendship with tbf family, was the first to arrive, and Kathleen, in her very extreme frock, had turned tho bat tery of her eyes full upon him. When Mrs. West found them, he was quite obviously fascinated, and even Mrs. West, in pink chiffon with her blonde head carefully marcelled, could not cope with this 'radiant young thing who was outh personified. When Virginia came in she knew that her mother was provoked at something. In fact, something had told Virginia when she saw Knthleen get tho dress out that Mrs. West would not liko it and she had told Kathleen so. "You know they wouldn't let you wear it at school." "But we aro not at school now," "I know, but you look so old." Kathleen widened her eyes. "And why not if. I want to and don't mind my age?" And she had laughed and had worn the dre3s. The arrival of tho two other guests gave Virginia no opportunity to ttpeak to her mother, and besides sho hnd eyes for no one but Jimmy when he came into the room. She did not even notice until thc.v were seated at the candle lighted table that Mr. Allen was Heating Kathleen and that BUI was doing the same for Mrs. West. Over the bowl of tlowcrs in the center of the table. Vir ginia saw her mother's eyes glint dangerously. It made the girl uncom fortable and took away much of her own enjoyment, but she was too radiant In hn nnlinnnv for lone. Bill J.votin was verv silent during the menl. Kathleen hardly spoke to him, in fact she snt with one smooth shoulder almost i (instantly turned in his direc tion, wlilln the chatted with Mr. Allen. Virginia and .linimy were quite absorbed in each oilier and saw very little of what waB coinc on about them. Jimmy was oulte flagrantly making love to Virginia. He was deadly in earnest nnd was making the most of his oppor- I tuuity. He was quite sure that lie! wanted to marry this girl and his eyesl told her so every time he looked into ) them. I or Virginia, tne limner wus u success, even though she could not help feeling the undercurrent of displeasure nnd she disapproved lolenlly of Katli ken's treatment of BUI. Afterward she spoko to Kathleen as they stood together for n moment. "You're treating Bill terribly, and Mother doesn't like it." Kathleen shrugged her shoulders and turned townrd Mr. Allen, but instead she met Bill's eyes nnd saw that Mr. Allen had gone into me nuiary nun Mrs. West. (Tomorrow, Jimmy Asks Virginia to Marry Him.) GIVES DONORS' CONCERT 3. of Beethoven, and tho wonderfully rhythmic and highly colored symphonic suite "Scheherazade," of Itinuky-Kor. sakoff. Both wcro finely performed, both with regard to tone and shading, nnd nil the numerous solo instruments of tho last-named number covered them selves with glory. The soloist of the concert was Thad dcus Illch, concertmastcr of tho orches tra, who played tho D minor concerto for violin of VIcuxtcmps. Mr. Illch played with his usual oeauty of tone nnd surcness of intonation. The con certo is not one of the greatest in the literature of the violin with orchestral accompnniment. but it is thoroughly viounistic ami pretty wen oxuuusts tue technical possibilities of tho instrument. although it makes no great demands of sentiment or intellect, either from player or hearers. Mr. Itich was warmly an plauded after his fine rendition of tho concerto.
