THE SALEMITE
THE Y. W. C. A.
The Y. W. C- A. service Friday even
ing was quite different from any other
we have had this year, as it was a
Blue Ridge song service, held on back
campus just in front of Society Hall.
The meeting was very informal and
Miss Howell, who led the singing, in
vited any one in the audience to sug
gest favorite hymns. The cabinet
sang the Blue Ridge slogan after
which Miss Watkins presented the
plan for Student-Industrial Co-opera
tion which Miss Katherine McDonald
tried out last summer. Many of the
girls seem interested in the plan, and
we hope that many wil Itake this op
portunity of actually coming in con
tact with the Vvforking girls.
So far only ten girls have signed up
to go to Blue Ridge, but we hope to
have our number gradually increased
so that we may have the largest as
well as the best delegation that Salem
has ever had.
Girls! Talk Blue Ridge!
“DAD TAKES PAT’S ADVICE”
(Continued from page two)
golf, too”, Pat went on enthusiastic
ally. He wants me to ride again this
afternoon, but I simply can’t neglect
my work any longer. Do you know
that I haven’t been near the library
for five whole days? It’s a blessing
you don’t invite the sons of your col
lege buddies here often, ’cause your
little daughter would soon become one
of those modem flappers, who do noth
ing but amuse themselves. But he is
nice, isn’t he. Dad, and so Very enter
taining. And he told me this morning
that he has to leave day after to
morrow. We’ll miss him dreadfully,
won’t we? ^
“H’m.” He’s nice enough as 'Tar as
young men go”, said Mr. Arrington.
And I suppose he’s attractive to girls.
He told you that he is engaged to Miss
Alice Vanderbilt, I suppose?”
“Oh”, was all Pat said, but Mr. Ar
rington saw her gray eyes widen, and
her hurt look of surprise. Of course
he could not tell, he thought, but it
was just as well to “nip in the bud”
any feelings she might have toward
this young fellow. It was all very well
for Dick Lloyd to come there on a bet.
but to play with Pat’s heart was a
very different matter. He liked the
boy, but he’d tell him to get the brace
let tomorrow, if possible. The sooner
things were settled, the better.
Pat dressed hurriedly. Something
was evidently wrong downstairs. What
could it be ? Such a “hub-bub” she had
never heard! She ran down the steps.
“Why mother, what’s the matter”? she
cried, as she caught sight of her walk
ing up and down the floor and wring
ing her hands.
“Oh, my dear child, we have been
robbed”, Mrs. Arringto wailed. “Don’t
stand there with your mouth open—
it’s true. Someone has _ stolen my
beautiful diamond bracelet' Oh, it is
terrible to think that my bracelet—
the one piece of handsome jewelery
that I owned—should be stolen.” She
broke down here, and her large should
ers shook with sobs.
“There, there, Catherine dear, don’t
worry so. I’ll get you another brace
let. We’ll try to find it, and if we
can’t I’ll get that handsome one like
Mrs. Amblers, that you admired so
much,” said Mr. Arrington soothingly.
Mrs. Arrington was pleased, that
Robert should think of buying her an
other, and grew calmer. But it was
evident that Pat was excited and de
termined to solve the mystery.
Dick Lloyd slipped out of the house,
and walked down the terrace toward
the oak trees. He was plainly puzzled.
“He didn’t have the bracelet, but who
in thunder did”, he wondered. Mr. Ar
rington was confident that he had it,
and it was going to be hard to explain.
Just then he say Gregoiy walking
rapidly toward the forest of oaks. He
wondered vaguely what he was up to.
He stopped. Gregory was speaking to
a very queer looking woman. It was
evidently that they were quarreling

over something. Dick crept nearer.
Gregory took the bracelet from his
pocket. Dick and Pat, who was hiding
behind a tree, not forty yards from
him, exclaimed simultaneously. When
Pat heard about th^ missing bracelet,
her suspicions were immediately
placed on Gregory, and she had fol
lowed him.
They went up to Gregory and the
w'oman and Dick said quietly, though
he kept his hand in his coat pocket,
“we’ve got you with the goods, old
boy. Hand the braclet to Miss Ar
rington, and make it snappy. Give us
the goods and then beat it.”
“But he must be punished”, Pat in
terrupted. “When a man”—
“Let me handle this, Pat, I’ll explain.
It was hours afterwards. Dick had
told Pat all about her Dad’s scheme,
and they had triumphantly carried the
bracelet to Mr. Arrington. But Dick
had refused the ten thousand, saying
that he had not stuck to his part of
the bargain.
“Dick”, Pat began, why didn’t you
take the money ? It realiy belonged to
you, and, Alice Vanderbilt would
marry you right away. Why didn’t
you tell me about her, Dick”, she
asked, and after a pause added, “I
think it’s lovely.”
“I really don’t know why I should
have told you”, Dick replied. The day
after I got here I received a letter
from her severing all alliance between
us, saying that she was going to marry
an honest to goodness lord. And
strange though it may seem, I found
that I didn’t care a bit”.
“And you knew you weren’t in love”,
Pat finished.
“No, I knew I was in love”, Dick
replied, but not with Alice Vanderbilt.
