A moment later they stopped at the

The debate was a success. Aubrey's
opponent, a fair-haired, languid girl of
twenty, expounded her views on the
"eternal question" in well couched lan
guage. Aubrey, on the other hand,
took the house by storm when, in
eluding her remarks, she said, with
flushed cheek and sparkling eye:
"No girl with an ounce of dignity In
her makeup could, with honor, ask a
man. to marry her." And then, thrill
lngly :
"Our grandmothers couldn't,
dear mothers wouldn't,
oh !" spiritedly,
Kenneth, ensgonced in a rear seat,
was Interested In spite of himself. He
could not resist one last sarcastic fling,
however as he dropped Aubrey at El

he cautioned,

shot a meaning glance at her and drove

Ascending the stairs to the Colby
flat Aubrey frowned, cogitating
Kenneth's insinuations.
"Dour," Ellen was saying, her voice
nil queer and trembly-like, "if Roger
and Aubrey get married this year. I'll
go to you at Clirlstuiasttde. 1 should
like to be a Christmas bride."
Aubrey waited no longer, hut stole
quietly away, a queer little ache in tier
throat. It was twilight when she
stumbled over her own threshold. The
fragrant odor of a cigar told lier Roger
was there ahead of her, smoking in the
dark. Roger often waited for her like
that. Throwing her wraps aside, she
tiptoed to the hall portieres and pulled
them together."
"Roger," she culled, softly, and as
he came eagerly forward, "I want to
