Young PhUlipe, who did not know
one playing card from another and
,eared little for society anyway, was
vastly dismayed when he received
Miss Morton's Invitation for Thursday
evening.
Mias Morton wee a girl he greatly
admired; so he was, for once, anslous
to accept the invitation, but there waa
one part of it that made him hesitate.
Down In the corner was written
“cinch," and Dan knew as little of
cinch aa he did of Choetaw. He ap-
pealed to hie sister.
“It serves you right,” she saM. Tve
been begging you to learn to play
cards, so you could help me out on
different occasions, and you never
would."
“I'm eorry," he said, humbly. “I
certainly wish now that I knew how."
“That's Just it!" ahe said, score ful-
ly. “You with you’d learned, now that
At means pleasing a girl like Alloc
Morton. Hereafter maybe you’ll be
flOOd,*
“Bay." began PhllUp, hesitatingly.
Til do the neat thing you ask of ma
If you'll be so obliging as to holp mo
out”
“What’o the trouble now?" asked klo
sister, resignedly. "Don’t you know
how to word your regrets Y’
“Regrets nothing!” be exclaimed.
‘Tve accepted."
'Accepted! Why, bow can you?
You can’t play cinch."
“1 could learn."
“Ob, I see." she said. "All right
Oo get the cards.”
Phillip kad never considered him-
self particularly dense before, but ho
■urely folt stupid when the lesson*
began. His sister was patient hut It ,
was annoying to be laughed at, and he
dM not enjoy playing schoolboy again.
Idee, hit slater beat him with
fflfifHtlfiff aya,
“You haven't got the Idea of It” eh# ,
would any over and over. "Remember
not to put your flvo on my aco. but on
your partner’s, and you'll do better."
“My partner didn't have an ace,” he
•aid. T aaw that from her hand
spread out there.”
"You’re not auppoeed to know what
your partner baa. ! turn up that hand
just because there’s nobody to play It
Don’t throw away a five. It will count
later."
“Tee, I know,” he declared, “but
ft’a the only trump I had."
“No, It waan’t,” she contradicted, pa-
tiently. “That was a heart and your
hand la full of diamonds, which are
trumps.”
“Oh, 1 forgot the left-handed bust-
les. But now I’ve got the hang of
ft"
0o tbs drill wont on evening after
evening and Saturday afternoon, whea
Phillips gave up tennta in order to
perfect himself for the ordeal. At
night he dreamed of It In the oCBee
he thought out hands and plays and
made diagrams on odd pieces of paper
showing what he would do If the other
fellow led *o and so. He became al-
most meek In the light of hli own
denseness and took all his slater’s sug-
gestions In good part
Tt’e awfully good of you,” he said.
T wouldn’t have so much pedleoce to
teach you anything.”
"You wouldn’t need so much,” she
said, cruelly. •
As the days wore on the party drew
near bis stater declared she was oa
the verge of nervous prostration.
’If you don’t do better,” she sighed,
T shall certainly be too weak to go
to Altec's party myself.”
“Oh, bo, you must go,” Insisted
Phillips. T need you to consult la
case I get stuck. Keep on a little
longer and I'll brace up.”
Mo did brace up to such an an-
eouraging extent that the very last
practise evening be won three games
straight and waa declared fit to shine
with the card playsrs.
“This Is the first Interesting eve-
ning I have had for more than a
warn," his sister mid, wearily. "Be-
tag always the winner Is about as en-
tertaining as talking to yourself.”
“It’s a groat game,” mid Phillips,
enthusiastically. 'Ill play you anoth-
er. Roms on; It’s only U o'clock..'
“I don’t believe I'm going to enjoy
tfeo party a bit,” she eald, dolefully.
The groat evening cams at last and
found Phillips qnlts In the spirit of
the thing. He was really glad be was
going and was so plaased with hla ap-
pearance that ho suffered his sister
to tie hla white tlo without a murmur.
Carried away by his gratitude, ho ex-
travagantly ordered a taxicab to re

The brilliantly lighted house and
the many little tables looked festive
and inviting and Phillips’ spirits rose
high. He was cartful, however, and la
pauses in the conversation he would
hum a thoughtful expression that
made R hard for his slater to keep a
straight taoo. fibs knew ha was sap
lag over and over to himself the direc-
tions she had last given him.
The conversation waa at Its height
whoa the last guest earns downstairs
and the hostess rose to direct them to
tholr tables. Iho waa very pretty la
a delicate yellow gowa, but afterward
ft waa a long time before Phillips
oould see that particular shade with-
out the same slaking of the heart that
ha experienced whea Miss Morton
spoke.
•he clapped her bands gently to at-
tract their attention, and aa aqen as
they ware quiet she made an aa-
