She had been itan-ed for ,,fun an these Paul smiicu "You'll be the loveliest thing here." Martha knew she looked well. The white dress, with its softly draped V and its tiny stars wink ing among the wispy folds of the full skirt, had always been very becoming. Her silver sandals were new. She felt light as a feather, poised, happy. A girl in glittering sequin jacket looked at her curiously for a mo ment. Martha saw the fleeting homage in her eyes the homage that one woman pays to another who looks even more beautiful. She was ridiculously pleased, and a little smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Paul was saying, "Ive reserved a table. That is, we're with a party. Ted Willis and Madge, and the Graces." SIDE GLANCES ton. mny hea tHUKt. mctt. m.

"Oh." He hadn't told her be fore, because she had known them all only during the time when she had been engaged to Paul. They were his friends, not hers. Bill had never met them. "I'll be glad to see them again." She mustn't let embarrassment, any foolish self-consciousness, spoil her magic evening. Mary Grace only smiled at her, lazily. Mary had always been like that off-hand, casual, ac cepting things at their face. Prob ably nothing interested her very much except clothes. She and Jack were immensely wealthy. It was good to be dancing again. iiooa to oe part ol this gay, care free 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 himself. "jjong time no see." Ted said. after a while. "What happened to the husband?" It was not that he cared, espe cially. In this country club crowd it was extremely usual to attach no importance to the fact that a married woman 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 dogs. They'd better not get after me! Paul claimed her for the next dance. They had always danced beautifully together. She gave herself up to enjoyment. Someone tapped Paul. "You can't keep loveliness like that under a bushel basket, Elliott," said a tall man with tawny hair. "Come to me. beautiful!" She smiled at Paul, helplessly. The man led her off ln triumph, but half way across the room, Jack 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. 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 for moment to get her something to eat. a red-haired young person sidled up and suggested, "Run away with me? This is my eve nine for running away." 'I'd love to, she laughed, "put I'm chained. Besides, we'd look so odd. Two brick tons." "Wed look beautiful together!" he said. "If you wont 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." Martha 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. Dlease!" In lieu of an evening bag, she had wrapped her compact and comb and the gilt tube of lipstick in a wisp of chif fon, which Paul had obligingly stowed away in a pocket. "I must look a fright. I haven't repaired mv comDlexIon all evening. "Three frecKles," faui aamui- ed. "have worked loose." She darted under the looped velvet Into the powder room, Mary and Madge were already there. A maid was on her knees beside Mrs. Grace, takine a firmer stitch In the draped girdle around her waist. "That fool, my hus band, has a clutch like a gorilla!" Madge was touching up her mouth. "Hello, Martha. My, you certainly mowed down the stag line tonight!" "Thanks. I think It was con spiracy. Be kind to working girls night." "with those eyes," said Mary Grace, calmly, "you need never worry." "Ere my foot! It's the girlish Mtheaome grace." Madge tittered, "I've gained two pounds and It's keeping me up nights." There's an exercise for that. You turn your head slowly from side to aide when they bring up the whipped cream, darling. m w w The Club Tortilla, at 2 In the morning, with RIcardo and Reglna whirling In a rhumba, was hard to leave. That's how It happened that dawn was definitely streak ing the sky when Paul left Mar tha st her door. "It's been wonderful, Paul!' "You'd better sleep all day to, morrow." But she had scarcely tumbled Into bed hardly closed her eyes when the long. Imperious ring of the phone woke her. At first, she resisted It. Sr was so satlsrylngiy exhausted! But It keot on and on, and she got up at lsjt. "Hello? Hello?" Her very voice was sleepy. "Hello. Martha?" She came awake with a start. It was BUI "Martha, where were you last night? I tried to get you until after mldnlrht. I kept calling and the phone didn t answer!" (To Be Contlnoed) TUT REGISTER. GUARD, LITTLE OftPtiAN ANNIE EUGENE.
