• ‘HpHERE’S going to be a little
* dance of the College Women’s
club next Wednesday, Sally,” Rita
called excitedly over the telephone.
"And 1 wanted to know whether
your brother Tom and that nice
friend of his that’s staying with
him could come.”
"I’ll ask them,” Sally promised
politely but without much enthusi
asm.
"There’s a dear,” cried Rita.
"And do try to get them to come be
cause nice men are so scarce. I’d
love to ask you, too, dear, only not
belonging to the College Women’s
club, of course, you can’t come. I’m
awfully sorry, dear—”
"Nothing to be sorry for,” assured
Sally. "Good-by.”
Sally conveyed the invitation to
her brother Tom and Martin Gage,
who was spending a week with him.
They had both graduated from col
lege in June and Tom was spending
a few weeks of forced idleness be
fore the really good position which
he had secured in an engineer's
office was ready for him. Martin
Gage, whose patrimony made work
ing for a living not a real necessity,
was idling two months of the sum
mer.
"I suppose we might as well ac
cept.” said Tom. "I don't suppose
you're invited, Sally? Oh, well,
you’ll see more than you want of us
before that time.”
"Why isn't Sally invited?" asked
Martin Gage bluntly.
"Because she doesn’t belong,”
said Tom.
"Don’t let’s go without Sally,”
said Martin. "Why doesn’t she be
long?"
"Because I’m uneducated.”
laughed Sally. "Naturally they don’t
ask any girls that don’t belong to
the club, and naturally you can’t
belong to the club unless you’re a
college graduate.”
Martin gage would have
made further protest but for
the unannounced appearance of
Rita in the living room.
"Hello, Sally,” she said, looking
around with a smile and a toss of
her short golden hair. “Door was
open so I came in. Of course, you’re
coming to our dance?” she said con
fidently to the boys, and then going

across the room to Sally, and lay
ing a hand on her shoulders. “My
dear, I had to come right straight
over. I knew by your tone 1 had
offended you.” Her voice was low
ered, but not enough to make it
inaudible to Tom and Martin. “It’s
not your fault that you didn't go to>
college. Besides lots of girls aren't
cut out for that sort of thing. You’re
only twenty—you might have an op
portunity yet. I don’t know what I
said—but I just know you were
peeved. It isn’t our fault that we've
had educational advantages.”
Somehow Tom managed to change
the subject.
But Wednesday night when Tom
and Martin Gage went to the Col
lege Women’s club dance Sally did
feel a species of dejection. Martin
protested to the last that he did nob
want to go.
“I really think Sally was an
noyed," Martin told Tom. “But I
don’t see why she should be. She
didn’t want to go to college or she
would have gone. A girl as clever
as Sally is would have found it a
cinch.”
“That’s just it,” said Tom, a trifle
embarrassed himself. "There
Wasn’t enough money for both of us
to go through college—and Sally
made up her mind that I should
have the advantage. She felt that it
was more important for a boy than
a girl, and in a way I suppose she
was right. I made up my mind I'd
make up to her later.”
** t*13* that stupid
** Rita talked the way she did,”
stormed Martin. “It makes me
boil.”
A week later when Martin Gage
was about to terminate his sojourn
with Tom he found Sally alone read
ing in the garden under the lilac
hedge.
“I want to marry you,” he told
her. “I don’t know whether you’ll
have me. Perhaps you don’t feel as
I do about it.”
“I think I love you,” Sally said,
“and I think I’ll marry you—if you
want me to.” There was quite a
long silence in which Martin re
spectfully stroked Sally's hand. “At
first when you came I knew I liked
you, but then Rita seemed to be so
taken with you and you went to the
dance and—well, I decided that I
was too uneducated for you. I wasn’t
going to stand in the way of you
and Rita. Then I heard what you
said to Tom about college women.
I really couldn’t help hearing. And
then I knew that you probably
wouldn’t want to marry Rita any
way and that you wouldn't feel
ashamed of me just because I hadn’t
had educational advantages.”
“Bless me,” said Martin. “So you
overheard what I said to Tom?
You’re a wicked eavesdropper, Sal
ly. but I love you just the same.”
