THE HOUSE PARTY
An English house party is In
variably composed of types as
though each host or hostess wfched
to Impress upon their friends how
cosmopolitan their acquaintances
are: an army officer on leave from
India, a naval man, a retired busi
ness man, a nore or less well
known author, an heir apparent to
some title. As for the women, be
sure there will e Lady 80 and 80,
widow of the Bishop, Miss Clack
stone Maddock of the flat-heeled,
sporting variety, the poorer rela
tive who Is being given a chance
to marry money, the wife of the
business man, the fiancee of the
author who is in musical comedy
and motors down from London on
Sundays,
The crowd of guests Ralph Hen
derson had assembled was no ex
ception to this rule and, when Bar
bara and Rav arrived and were
ushered Into the drawing-room, fhe
felt, in her own words, weak at the
knees.
She did not know what she had
expected, unless she bad thought
that, as in America, a house party
consisted of a number of people
of similar ages and tastes who met
to have a roaring good time.
It looked a depressing enough
assembly and none realized It more
keenly than the host, but, ne naa
arranged the party more with the
idea of Impressing Barbara as to
the Importance of his friends than
with giving her what is flmillarly
known as a good time.
Henderson seated her beside the
largest and most Important of the
dowagers.
"Lady Fielding, may I present
Mrs, Lowther?"
Lady Fielding surveyed Barbara
through her lorgnette while to
herself she said. "This must be
the millionairess."
Then aloud, remembering that
several of her pet charities were
sadlv in need of funds, "This is
indeed a pleasure. Come and fit be
side me. dear Mrs. Lowther, and
tell me all about America."
Barbara gasped and, as she seat
ed herself, murmured.
"What do you want to hear
about. Lady FleldinR?"
Lady Fielding smiled a wintry
smile.
"About your dear strannc people.
Tell me. do you find it hard to un
derstand us over here?
Barbara smiled wickedly.
"Not at all. I bought one or
those phrase books. 'English In
Three Days and with its help I
seem to be able to make myself
understood!"
"No-0-0!" ejaculated Lady Fielding.
She was trying to decide whether
or not Barbara was making fun of
her, but. in view of the girl's
money, she decided to give her the
benefit of the doubt.
Meanwhile, Rny was faring no
better than Barbara. HLs hast had
put him beside Major Perkins
whose interest was confined exclu
sively to sport and chorus girls.
Henderson had done it purposely,
hoping to make the American un
comfortable. "What's your sport?" demanded
the major.
"I used to row when I was In
college."
"College?" The major blinked.
Ray saw that there was some
thing wrong.
"Not since I was at Yale Uni
versity." he told him.
Ah! not since you were at the
Varsity." the major corrected him.
"What did you say the name of It
was?"
"Yale."
"Never heard of It," said the
mntor dwldndlv.
At this they lapsed Into silence.
while Major Perkins racked his
brains trying vainly to think of
something that might Interest the
American, But he was finding it
hard, especially as the fellow did
not seem to understand the King '6
English, as he phrased It to him
self.
He made another attempt at It
later.
"Professional man?"
"No," said Ray. "Music."
"Ah! Music. Play the piano, I
suppose?"
Ray spoke a little defiantly, pur
posely raising his voice as though
hewlshed Barbara to hear.
"I play the saxophone."
"The saxophone?" queried the
major, startled then. "Ha, ha, I
see, Jolly good Joke, what?"
Ray went red. "It Isn't a joke.
I play for my living."
There was a strained silence and
then Henderson said.
"Mr. Lowther is an artist on the
saxophone. Did you bring your In
strument down with you, Lowther?
I'd hoped you'd blow us a few tunes
after dinner tonight."
Ray was conscious of the sting
behind his words.
"Sorry, Henderx-on,' he said
stiffly, "I didn't."
"But what Is a saxophone, Mr.
Lowther?" Lady Fielding inquired
"I suppose I must seem most
frightfully Ignorant."
"A saxophone, Lady Fielding,
Ray smiled, "is commonly looked
upon as the step-child of jazz."
"Ah, Jazzt Something of which
I strongly disapprove."
This sure is some peppy bunchy
Ray remarked tartly to Barbara
that night as they were dressing
for dinner. "Seems to me I'd rather
spend a few days in a morgue and
have it done with."
"Can't say it was what you'd
call a riot this afternoon," Barbara
replied smiling. "But Hendy told
me that the majority of them were
only in for tea. Anyhow, Ray,
we've got to seem to enjoy our
selves since Hendy's gone out of
his way to be nice to us."
"Nice to us nice to you, you
mean," Ray said scornfully as he
flung a collection of ties Into an
upper drawer. "I suppose you
didn't happen to hear his remark
about my saxophone playing?"
Barbara had her back to him, she
was rolling her nude chiffon stock
ings Into a little hard knot behind
her knees.
"It was you who brought up the
subject, Ray," she reminded hlra.
"And really I don't see that there
was any necessity for your doing
so."
He took her up sharply.
"You talk as though there was
some disgrace attached to my Job,
as though It were a dark skeleton
to be kept locked in the family
closet!"
Her answer was muffled, she was
slipping the palest of pink geor
gette dresses over her head. It
sounded like, "Don't be childish,
Ray." At any rate it angered him
sufficiently to continue.
"What on earth are you going to
do, shut up for a whole week in
this place? I can't see why you
don't invent tome excuse and we'll
leave tomorrow."
She did not reply at once. She
was standing surveying herself be
fore the mirror humming a tune.
Her short georgette frock was at
the same time both simple and
daringly sophisticated; her hair,
that had a natural wave In it, was
fitted closely to her head.
She had the air of piquancy
about her that Is half American
and half French and which, for
lack of better expression Is some
times known as "cute "
