evening grown-s and satin-shod feminine feet.

Five young ladies of Graycaatle College were assembling for a ae- cret meeting forbidden by dean and faculty.

"Elaine!" came a complaining whisper, directed at the girl in front. “Elaine Chalmers, look where you're goingl This path doesn't lead to the Delll"

“You're telling me?“- replied the tall girl in the lead. She looked back and blinked against the glare of a flashlight that covered her lovely ace. Her eym were as dark as the night itself, her hair was a burnished gold shading into brown. Her skin was flawless. her lips "made; Like the other girls, she wore an evening wrap carelessly thrown over her dinner dress, yet the yellow velvet of her wrap and the paler yellow of her dross seemed to dominate all those other pastel shades which surrounded her. "I meant to tell you. H0!‘- tense," she said, “we're not going to the Dell. Emerson's on the look- out. We're going to the birch grove."

There was an excited murmur from the four girls who followed. Hortense asked, “Can the new girls find us there?"

"I’ve attended to that, naturally," answered Elaine. Her voice was beautifully placed and very inso-

egotism vibrated through it.

The trail seemed never-ending- The flagstones ceased and five pairs of dalntily shod feet skirted an iii-hole golf course and followed a. mile of bridle-path before the

found five other flgurm awaiting them, and Elaine turned her flash- light full into each face for a re- lentlerg inspection. Each was a girl in her late teens. Each was breathless with excitement. Each was a beauty in her own right -

"0. K.," said Elaine's clear voice briefly. "Lay down your lights and join hands."

C O

They obeyed, and the circle of i0 was broken only by the fact that Elaine's right hand retained her light. “We are here." she said impressively, "to add five lower classmen to our circle. This is cus- tonpry. Last year five of us were taken in. by the senior five who were graduating. In this way the circle of The Terrible Ten remalnl unbroken. It is fitting that you newcomers-Jhmcla, Kathyrn, Bar- bare. Laura and Janice-should know something about the order you are entering. Its not an ordi- nary sorority. It has no lofty or exalted aims. It is, as its founder designated it seven years ago, ‘a cult for the conquest of the male.’ It is fitting, too, that you should know something about this rounder, so I shall tell you what I know. omiW-lls only her name."

Hortense whispered in her ear. "Get on with it, Elaine! My feet are killing me—"

“Well," 581d Elaine, "The Ten-l- ble Ten was founded by the most beautiful girl who ever attended Graycastle. Though she‘ was ter- ribly popular she made the mis- take of actually falling ln love- The man was some years her senior and he Jilted her to marry a mere nobody-a woman almost as old as himself who had nothing 'but brains to recommend her. After that our heroine formed this secret circle by asking nine congenial girls to Join her. ‘rhelr object was the glorification of feminine charm and‘ the annexation of male ad- mixers."

Sho paused to sweep her flash- light from face to face and saw that the new girls were properly impressed. This was the very cen- tel‘ of her little kingdom and she meant to rule it. “And now," she said, “the older five will repeat our creed, which the incoming members will say after in."

"I was made beautiful," chanted five soft voices, “for the conquest of the malel" Like an echo the five new girls repeated the words, speaking them with a sort of hesi- tant awe. ,

Then came another amazing aa- sertlon, chanted by Elaine and Hortense and their three associ- ates: “It is my privilege as a beau- tiful woman to win as many decla- rations of love and as many pro- posala of marriage as possible!" This was epeated with even greater intensity by the new girls. "Very good.” aald Elaine. "Now for our oath: We swear to pursue our careers of ccquetry and mascu- line conquest to life's endl Amen."

In the ailenca that followed the taking of the oath there came a sound like a footie-ll in the dark- ness, but when mains swept the place with her flashlight nothing was discovered. She than turned her light on the iaweled watch on her wrist. “Ive ml! this to lay

There was an audible aniff which challenged Elainds attention. “Does any one here doubt this state- ment?" she asked coldly. “If she does, she will find evidence on file 1n my desk and is welcome fa in- spect it. As you know, these tangi- ble things count moat as proof-J’ She ticked them ofI on her fingers, “Written proposals, cards accom- panying flowers and gifts, telg- grams, fraternity Jewelry and en- gagement rings."

The meeting was ending when Hortense drawled arrestlngly, "But you haven't mentioned your failure, Elaine! I rather think it's time for a showdown on that little matter-J

“It's getting late,” Elaine re-

‘ ded them.

"Listen, girls." Hortense ad- dressed the interested circle. “Elaine's come a cropper and she's keeping still about it. The three old members will back me on this. We each had a chore to do during the summer and we are succeeded except Elaine. The stunt was to win a decimation of love from our first sweethearts-or, rather, from the male we first adored. The five grads succeeded, and so did four of us here. But Elaine Chalmers dunked it. She didn't even try. For this reason I move she resign from the presidency."

Elaine's face was white as the flashlight played on it. “Hortense, you cat!" she said. “You know I've accomplished ‘enough to make up for it. This Annapolis senior was my second love. Why split a hair?"

Hortensew long green eyes nar- rowed as they rested on her rival- “We all kept to the letter cf the contract. All but you, Elaine! Con- nie Ogdon had to vamp the Spanish elevator man in her aunt's Park avenue apartment because that happened to be her first crush—"

"Oh," spoke up one of the new girls, “how sweet! How utterly priceless] It's like Hilda Conk- lln's poem, "I'm in love with the Janitors boyand the Janitors boy loves me!’ "

EBut Hortense was not to be di- verted. For several years she had been playing second fiddle to this Chalmers girl who was a little. bet- ter lciklng, a little richer and a lit- tle more dashing than herself. The time had arrived to even the score. "I happen to know that Elaine first fell in love when she was l2 years old. It was with a boy named JohnMcNelll outin Ohio, next door to her mother's old home. She knows I know it, or she'd have rung in a substitute on ua—"

Elained said, "Hortense, you're a devil and a pig. You knew I couldn't waste part of my precious vacation In that foul little town!"

"Then resign," said Hortense calmly. ‘Tiny the game or quit.”

"That's only fair, Elaine," said three serious voices almost in con- cert.

The dafkness held a long mo- ment oi’ silence before Elaine's voice said defiantly, "No, 1'11 not resign. I'll go to Worthvllle for the fall acatlon. There's nobody living in. Grandfather's house but an old care-taker, and she's slightly cuckoo. But I'll go. Furthermore." she stated crisply, "I'll get my

Ill MEIMIRIAM

P??? MRS. HARRY H. McCALLUM

Death, the common lot of all, though inevitable is ever sorrow- ful, and, when the one called is in the prime of life, the Grim Reaper leaves a deeper note, if posible, of Brief and loss. Such was the case in the , * ’ demise recently of MrsJHarry H. MoCallum of this City. Possessing a charming per- sonality and radiating, at all times, a cheery and optimistic outlook in life, she was the e “timid-m of the tflle clinician wife aha mother. In her home she had the delightful charm of hospitality coupled with v- qulet reserve that endeared her to all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Thus her passing has indeed cast a deep shadow over the community and has sorely stricken the erstwhile happy family. Her death, which cc- currcd on Feb. 6th after a brief illness following an operation for appendicitis, was igned and calm and her soul fortified by the last rites of Holy Mother Church winged its way to the white throne above. -

The late Mrs. Mocallum was born Ellen Elton at Mist, Arkansas, just thirty-five years ago. Beside a grief stricken husband, she leaves to mourn five children, ranging in age from fourteen to two: Hubert I"., J. Elton, Vincent 0., Jublan St. C., and Myrna A.

There is also left to mourn, liar parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Elton and the following brothers and sisters: Green, Jeths. Robinson. James, Mrs. G. C. Denton and Mrs. Leonard Burch, all of Mist, Ark. The funeral to the Church of the Most‘ Holy Redeemer was largely attended, and the numerous mesa cards. letters of sympathy, and floral tributes spoke eloquently of the loving esteem in which the late Mrs. McCallum was held.

The Requiem Mass was celebrat- ed by Rev. H. I. Flemming, CS. SH. and the services at the grave were conducted by Rev. Father O'Hara, 0.8.8.11.

May her soul rest in peace.

The late Mrs. Tuplln will be greatly missed in her community. Deeply interested in all matters pertaining to education, the Wo- men's Institute and every feature tending to improve the welfare of the district, she was a prime mover in every good cause.’ The numerous 111858865 01' sympathy, the floral tributes. the numbers of people who visited the house and who at- tended the funeral to bid adieu to one they loved, all attest to the love and respect to which the de- ceased was entitled.

During the short funeral service _at the house, Rev. J. W. A. Nich- olson, assisted by Rev. Mr. Salter, spoke words of consolation and sympathy to the mourners. The hymns sung were "Rock of Ages," “Nearer My God in Thee," and "Abide with Me," after which in- terment wok place at the Kenslng- ton Cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. James Marchbank.
