Bachelors of Y. M. I. Afraid of Leap Year; Banquet Galled Off

is The new year may be a leap year, j which gives women the right to pro-i pose, but it's a safe bet that about j fifty per cent of the members of the Young Men's Institute will not fall victims to the arrows of Cupid's bow, even if that little nymph will, for twelve brief months, assist those who long for matrimonial adventures, ' Anything feminine is "hateful, repulsive and abhorent to the bachelors of this organization. They are solidly, impassively and most assuredly woman haters. They are confirmed bachelors. ... ..." . ' . , - .. .. ., .; : Not one of them has a sweetheart; they wouldn't think of a Sunday night "date," and well, they simply don't like women or anything womanish. ' And that's the reason why the joint banquet of the Y. M. I. and the Ladies auxiliary scheduled, first for New Year's night, and then for tonight, has been "indefinitely postponed" and probably will never be held. ' Secret Leaks Out. The secret for the real cause of the postponement was revealed today in a confession by one of the bachelors. Some of the other members were reticent v concerning the banquet and either evaded or declined to answer questions as to why the meeting had been delayed. The confessed bachelor in telling the status quo of the situation in the Y: M. I. declared that he was neutral end had aligned himself with the married men, who didn't care whether the women were present or not at the banquet. - At the business meeting of the or

ganization in the lyceum some weeks ago, he. said the suggestion was made that the banquet be held. This was approved until it was further suggested that women be invited. Then the combat began. The bachelors, about twenty-five of them, all between the ages of 19 and SO, wanted a banquet for men only, and the members who are more susceptible to the charms of the fairer sex just as warmly demanded the presence of their sweethearts. Wedded Ones Neutral. ' The married men of the club assumed an indifferent attitude and asserted a stand of strict neutrality. A word battle ensued, and when the smoke had cleared away the white flag of surrender had been hoisted and was banging dejectedly in the bachelors' camp. Though repulsed in the first

skirmish, the anti-woman admirers

were not irretrievably defeated, and in recovering hit upon strategy which resulted in ultimate success. They resolved not to grace the banquet with their presence. And they kept their word. Arrangements under the directions of those who favored the plan went blithely forward, but when the time for the banquet drew near so few persons had signed their names, indicating that they would attend, that postponement was necessary. Though appeals were "made to them to attend tonight, the bachelors refused to break their resolutions, and now

the banquet is an exceedingly indefin

ite event of the future.

"Oh, we certainly don't like the

women,' said the confessing one. "We've always been against them, and

we probably always will. We've got one member who won't go to a .pic

ture snow Because women act in me movies. Last Sunday a member went

into the hall with a girl on each arm. The fifteen bachelors who were playing cards arose from their chairs and, without a word of explanation, walked out of the room and stayed out until the girls had gone. Cupid will never get any of us. We're confirmed."

THE UNCHASTENED WOMAN

"Alone I would have made a quixotic failure. Well, we've yielded. You've kept your word; I've kept mine. "Now for the matter that brings me here immediately. I received this note by messenger this afternoon from Miss Madden. . . : . She urges me to see you. So I am here to do anything. What do you propose?"

Firmly and with serene determina

tion in every line of her face, Hildegarde got to her feet. "That right here and before the very people in whose presence Mrs. Knolys made the accusation, she must retract it and with full apologies. Nothing less." A wry little smile leaped its dashing way across Knolys's face as he exclaimed involuntarily: "I'd love to see it!" "Hildegarde!" Lawrence's tone was a mixture of amazement, horror and negation of what his ears had heard. The expression with which Knolys met his attitude, was pregnant with meaning, as he turned, first to the wife and then to the husband, in acceptance of the little commentary into which he could read so much. "Your husband's exclamation proves that he and I know my wife much better than you do, Mrs. Sanbury He appreciates her force of will. . . '. don't you? sir?" Lawrence took on a guarded look

an- wisely refrained from further Illuminating the context, r "Is your wife absolutely Indifferent to the social -consequences of her own conduct?" asked Hildegarde. . "Ah! Why do you ask?" In the long watches of the afternoon, when Hildegarde had re-ad Justed herself to seeing Lawrence with the eyes of her mind rather than feeling him with the delicate antennae of -; that winged and vibrant thing known as a woman's heart, she had worked herself up gradually into an attitude of detached and impersonal logic. What was fair to Emily and what was justice for Caroline might mean pain to Hildegarde but she had risen above considering that. .

Now for the moment Hildegarde had put the bandage of justice across her eyes,, and would see neither to the right of her field of vision, where .on the edge of consciousness lay all that Lawrence needed of her, nor to the left, where was her own need of giving to him. As blind as justice and as ruthless as the law for which she stands, Hildeaarde went on: "Because immediately after having accused Emily, she did her best to make me believe my husband had' become her admirer." "What!" Mr. Knolys attempted the appearance of indignant surprise. But his mouth twisted into the habitual

j cynical smile, and there was a gleam

in his eyes perhaps it was admiration for Caroline's audacity perhaps for Hildegarde. But Lawrence fairly bounded to his feet. He had no admiration for the audacity of it only wild fear lest it be believed. "Hildegarde!" shouted her husband, giving due weight to every reproachful syllable. Then he turned to Hubert: "This is outrageous." ' "Yes," remarked Hildegarde quietly but in acquiescence to what, an open mouthed Lawrence was hardly prepared to say. With, due respect for the dignified way to meet things, Hubert asked a quiet question: "Are you cure you are not mistaken?" "Oh, no on the contrary, she took

the greatest pains to Impress it on me with all the insolence she could command." . ' .';-.. Why do you tell me this?" Knolys faced Hildegarde with . an air that combined quiet assurance and faith. He knew that she had a purpose and he meant that she should know how he could be counted on to aid it. : . . .. "To ask you to use it as you think best, to help me to force your wife to make just reparation to my friend," returned Hildegarde quietly. - To Be Continued.
