long, dull evening in the bowling

-- was suddenly too much for her.
"All right, Paul. I'll go with
you."
The country club was blazing
with lights as Paul nosed the
car Into the long, curving drive
way. The white building with Its
tall columns stood out against
the dark sky, on the slight rise
of hill, like a snuthern manor
house In a moving picture. .
Martha Marshall, her red hair
piled high In curls, Paul's orchid
on her shoulder, caught her
breath with a sudden, guilty
start. "I'm here, all dressed up
and going to have n good time,
while Hill's In that camp!"
Hut a moment later, as Paul
was helping her out and they
mounted the stairs together, the
guilt died down. She had been
so starved for fun, all these
weeks! Paul smiled down at her.
"You'll be the loveliest thing
here."
Maltha knew she looked well.
The while dress, with its softly
i draped V and Its tiny stars
winking among the wispy folds
of the full skirt, had always been
j very becoming. Her silver sund
ials were new. She fell light as
'a feather, poised, happy.

them all only during the time
when she had been engaged to
Paul. They were his friends, not
hers. Hill had never met them.
"Ill be glad to see them
again." She mustn't let embar
rassment, any foolish self-consciousness,
spoil her magic eve
ning. Hut Madge Willis was cordial,
and her husband. Ted, claimed
Martha at once for a dance. I
don't get a chance like this often.
Say. you're looking marvelous!"
Mary Grace only smiled at her.
lally. Mary had always been
like that offhand, casual, ac
cepting things at their face.
Probably nothing interested her
very much except clothes. She
and Jack were Immensely weal
thy. It was good to be dancing
again. Good to be part of this
gay, carefree crowd, good to hear
music and smile up at a partner
who hummed under his breath
and had nothing more important
on his mind than enjoying him
self. "Long time no see," Ted said,
after a while. "What happened
to the husband'.'"
It was not that he cared, es
pecially. In this country club
crowd It was extremely usual to
attach no Importance to the fact
that n married womi(n appeared
at a dance with an old friend.
"The husband's In the army."
she laughed. "Didn't you know?"
"No, I hadn't heard." He
shook his head, in exaggerated
concern. "Country's, going to the
dog. They'd better not get after
me!"
Paul claimed her for the next
dunce. They hail always danced
beautifully together. She gave
herself up to enjoyment.
Someone tupped Paul. "You
can't keep loveliness like that
tinder a bushel basket. Elliott."
said a tall man with tawny hair.
"Come to me, beautiful!"
She smiled at Paul, helplessly.
The man led lief tiff In triumph,
but ha!' way ucrubu the room
Jatk Grace cut In.
"I thought people weren't sup
posed to cut any more," Martha
said. "It was too collegiate, or
something."
"Rules are made to be broken.
Ah, this is what I call dancing!"
"Look out," she warned him.
"Paul's coming back!"
"That," said Jack, "Is much too
blatant an Infraction of the law.
I Out the door, baby." Expertly.
he danced her through the open
French doors to the veranda.
"We'll admire the moon."
"No, you don't!" Paul said, be
hind them. "Give her back, sir!"
It was silly, maybe. But it was
fun. When Paul left her tor a
moment to get her something to
eat, a red hair young person
sidled up and suggested. "Run
away with me? This is my eve
ning for running away."
"I'd love to," she laughed. "But
I'm chained. Besides, we'd look
iso odd. Two brick tops."
I "We'd look beautiful together!"
he said. "If you won't run away,
at least dance with me. That'll
give my girl something to think
about."
"What did she do, run away
with someone else?"
"You're a mind reader."
Paul rescued her, two minutes
later. "Madge and Mary want to
go to the Tortilla."
Maltha realized, with amaze
ment, that It was nearly 1 o'clock.
"Where did the time go? We Just
came!"
She held out her hand. "My
hankie, please!" In lieu of an
evening bag, she had wrapped
her compact and comb and the
gilt tube of lipstick In a wisp of
chiffon, which Paul had oblig
ingly stowed away in a pocket.
