Now and then she sighed , nfat,mtlon brought Jealousy among softly as one of her friends related some Incident which took place on the last sleighing pnrty. They were try ing to decide what fellows they could depend upon to even up their party. "There Is that now family n cross the Btreet nnd a perfectly stunning young man conies out of the house every morning, but he simply will not look nt one of us," said the hostess with n hnnelRiM slcli. "Ho wns tiros- ent at the church social the other eve- Ing the ceremony, before a nanii couiu nlng, and when 1 met him tlie next be outstretched to save her, she morning I thought surely he would Jumped Into the fire, and was burned recognize me, but he passed by with with her brother, out even looking at me!"

Just outside In tlw hallway I'.nza- both Martin smothered a low cry. She had come back, unnoticed, for her rub bers, and as she heard her name tossed around she took a quick step forward as If to rush Into the room where the girls were talking. A mo ment Inter she hud changed her mind, nnd noiselessly she slipped out of tho house and hurried ncross tho street nnd home. So that was what they thought 1 She was nfrald of fellows! Well, she would show them something. She, who hod never had a beau she would go on their sleighing party and she would go with a fellow, too. Yes, she would to with Allen Morse, tho fel low who had Just moved In, next door tho fellow that nil the girls had tried to attract nnd had failed. But she would not fall! Then perhaps they would change their minds, nnd she would bo tho ugly. duckling no longer. The next tiling to decide wns "how to meet him." It was Tuesday and tho party was to bo Thursday. She spent the rest of the afternoon nnd evening In thought That day the sun hud shono brightly, and the snow on the walk In front of her houso hnd melted. "If It freezes tonight, I can do It," sho told herself nnd as she dropped off to sleep late that night, a smile rested on her Hps. Fate was with her, for the next morning was cold nnd windy. Slip was up early and with her cont on and an attractive tain, which was arranged becomingly over one car, she stood In the doorwny, hidden from view by n curtnln which was drawn partly aside. She watched the pedestrians as they passed, carefully picking their way along tho Icy sidewalk. Suddenly the curtain nt tho door was drawn together and Elizabeth Martin enme quickly out of her houso, Just ns n young man came Into view In front of his own house, next door, They both reached tho end of Ellzn both's walk nt the same moment, nnd their eyes met. As Elizabeth turned the corner her foot slipped on the Ice, nnd with n low cry she fell forward Allen Morse threw out his arms and caught her, holding her closely for n brief moment, but long enough to bring n burning (lush to the girl's checks. "All right?" ho asked, simply. Sho thought sho was, sho told him, nnd after thanking him, sho tried to free- herself from his grasp. But ho linti mistaken the quiver In her voice for one of pain, and kept a Arm hold on her arm. As she stepped forward sho swayed n little, then sank hack In his nrms. "Better Ipt mo help you," ho offered, and with a supiwrtlng arm around her, ho led her back Into tho liouse, He made sure that she was resting comfortably before he left her, with a casual remark, that "he would drop In In tho evening to see If she wns nil right." As soon ns sho heard the front dooi close she quickly aroso aud run to the window, from where she watched him until he was out of sight "Well," sho declared, "If all young men woru liko him, I would soon loso my rcputntlon for being afraid of them." True to his promise, Allen Morse rang the doorbell of Elisuboth Martin's homo ut eight o'clock that evening. Ho was surprlsod when she hersolf answered tho ring, nnd Invited lUm In, but n greater surprise was waiting Elizabeth's girl friends, for beforo ho left her that evening Allen had given his promlso to accompany her on the Blelghlng pnrty. The following evening a bright moon lighted Uio way for a merry crowd, packed tightly In n largo slolgh. Eliza both Martin was undoubtedly the hap piest member of tho parly, unloss per haps It was Allen Morse, As sho pre sented Allen to tho others, she smiled mysteriously. Unable to wait nny longer ono of the girls finally whispered enviously, "Beth, how did you ever do It?" Tho astonishing reply came In three short words, "Juxt vamped htm t" and sho refused to tell anything more.
