The two old collegemates were glad to j meet again, and Joyfully talked orer j old times. After a little maneuvering I Hilton obtained for himself an Invitation to dinner at the Warrens' that evening.

They played until It was so dark they tfcd to stop, leaving the score a tie. Very often in the fortnight which followed Hilton was to be found In the 7lcinity of Somerset avenue? either at Rosalie's or the Warrens'. They had many dellghtfol tennis games and canoe trips on the near-by lake. ^ One afternoon tn late September Geoffrey and Rosalie were Idly drifting across the like in a ?woe, when Geoffrey asked Rosalie to share the rest of his life with him.
