It was an impor- tant letter. He closed his ea to the sound of revelry on the campus below as the boys prepared to go to the fleld for football practice. He did not answer the repeated raps at his door as his classmates went by. He did not sven stop to fill his fountain pen when it went dry. but dipped it into the ink bottle on his desk. It was a long letter that letter to Mrs. Chester Archibald Trenton II. and when he finished. he reread parts of it aloud. changing a word here and there and adding several underscorings to bring out important points. T certainly am glad that you are going to meet Virginia at last. mother. She wrote home and asked her mother, after I told her you wanted her to come to Boston for the week-end. and it is all right with her folks.

Chester and Benjamin had been very close friends for years, ever sinve the days when Chester III sat on the front seat with Benjamin can when he was driven to and from gram- | mar school. Boenjamin was on the alert for the usual effusive greeting, but Chester. in a most dignified manner, much the same as that used by Chest I, said: ‘How do you do, Benjamin' Benjamin smiled broadly over the wheel as the car left the station. Trenton was certainly grown up nowa- days, but just wait until the young Iadies were not around The big car rolled through the massive stone gateway of the Trenton estate and fol- lowed a winding boulevard through well kept lawns and shrubbery. Back on a terraced elevation stood the Tren- ton house, as it had stood for than half a century since Chester I of New York and England had built it there. ture of an American past and magnifi- cent in its simplicity, the Trenton house was one of the show places of New England. “Oh! it is beautiful.” exclaimed Vir- ginia Butler of Detroit. “Just beauti- ful!
