suit. Then the three of us went across to the pavilion, where those who had arrived earlier were standing. We were introduced to the Captain and the others, and I was pleased to see Jean was accepted without question.

Well, the game started, and soon it was obvious to Ada and myself that Jean had slipped completely into his new role and was enjoying himself, playing a splendid game for a girl.

At the close, after our side had won fairly easily, the Cap- tain congratulated Jean on his play and thanked us both for having played. After a wash and touching up with powder, we all adjourned to the home of the Captain--a large rambling house, in the grounds of which the pitch was situated.

The Captain seemed to have attached herself to Ada, Jean and myself, and we sat together during and after tea chatting on all sorts of topics in all of which Jean joined. During this chatting a maid came up and spoke to our hostess, who then left us for a few minutes, only to return almost at once with the news that a dense fog had settled down and that it was too thick for us to see to get back home that night.

I could see that this news perturbed Jean, but he remained silent. Then our hostess asked us to stay there until morning, saying that they were arranging a small party that evening when some friends were coming in. As we had only our hockey clothes there, she would lend us some of hers. I could soo Ada was think- ing about Jean, so I took the bull by the horns and accepted the offer, the others immediately following suit.

We all retired upstairs to our hostess' room, where she pro- duced a variety of dresses, stockings, undies and shoes for us to make a selection. I selected Jean's and my own, two ensembles al- most exactly alike to maintain the idea that we were twins. Wo were then shown the rooms we were going to use. I had arranged that Jean and I were to share a room.

We were offered the services of two maids--which needless to say, we tactfully refused. With a smile of encouragement to Jean, Ada left us to get changed into our borrowed party clothes. For- tunately our hostess was about the same size as ourselves and con- sequently her clothes fitted us well.
