Jenny appreciates Oeorhle's ktndneea, but ta indignant because Georgia treats her like a child. Georgle givee her a eilrer drees on her twenty-fourth birthday, but con tinuee to dominate her. The two girls are going out to d'nner with Jtyder Vale and a trtend of hie, and Georute eende Jenny on ahead to And the Strang man. Jenny dislikes Vale's friends, and has no hope of approving this one. Rhe is met. however, by a man who tns'antly holds her at tention. Hie Inteniness leaves her confused. Rhe is not the iltas Revel',, she explains. "She's fust behind me." ehe says, "I'm only Jenny.'1 Chapter 1 HIDDEN LAUGHTER 1ENNY felt color creeping Into her face n4 added, goaded by shy ness: "My name 1 Jenny RevelL" ' "Jennjr Rerell." He repeated It softly. He was per fectly grave, not even In hie voice' was there any tremor of amusement. But when he moved to meet Georgle and Ryder Vale, now within a few paces of them, Jenny was left with the echo of laughter all about her and with the aound of her own name Infant, ftytier, nd don't dare to treat her like a little girl." Jenny's cheeks became warmer. She wished to heaven Ueorgle hadn't thought It necessary to say that! Some men at the next table, who had alroady given her quick, appraising stares, stared again and harder. Garth Aveney's long body swayed around on his chair and he met her unhappy gaze. "Many happy returns," he said negligently. Again she had the sense of his bidden laughter. The lights, dimmed to a soft rose, shone upon bis eyes and she saw that they were not gray or blue, but hazel, Thoy held hers, searched them; let them go. Shfi sat back wltb a pulse pounding In ber throat and watched him turn back to Georgle. Bui Georitla wn gaily haranguing Ry der. And, as though he snatched an opportunity, the stranger leaned again to Jenny. "D'you like this kind of birthday party?" be asked, "No," said Jenny. It had been Jolted out of her and when he nodded and once more de sorted her for Georgle she sat aghast, desperately afraid tbat Ry der Vale had heard her. But he had not He looked, as always, self-satisfied; the prosperous, rather stri dent City man. Either because of the silver dreet "Looks like a stretcher csso," Vale said. mm - tpoken softly,, as though It were & long. ... "Always prefer a party when the host is unpunctual," Georgle was announcing. "Gives the guests at least a few minutes to enjoy themselves." She laughed at the tall man, who laughed back at her. "Garth Aveney," said Vale, Intro ducing him. And the four of them moved Into the restaurant. : yhenever Jenny went out wltb Georgle and one or more of her ."stalwarts," as she called them, she felt like a little girl Included In a grown-up outing. Tonight she was not actually at the tall of the pro cession, tor Ryder was at her shoul der, but she bad the sensation of lagging slowly behind It. Over ber bead Vale was teasing Georgle about ber lateness and she, unheed ing, was listening to something Garth Aveney WuS telling ber. Jenny sat rather bleakly down at the glit tering little table that had Ryder's same on It. While he became occu pied with the waiter, she looked at the man on her left He was tall and slim and he sat In the easy pose of tall, slim men, with a hand on his hip and his long legs carelessly disposed. He was not tanned, but he had on out-of-door look and there was a tinge of blue In his very smooth black hair. Jenny thought his eyes were blue, too, until he glanced ber way and then she thought they were gray. She could ae that Georgle was rather liking the look of blm. And he, of course, was liking the look of Georgle; that rich, generous aplendor, that suggestion of the peony In flower. Wonderful Georgia, of course he wanted to monopolize her. Many men did It was natu ral. . . . "I beg your pardon," stammered Jenny. "I asked you, Miss Cinderella," grinned Ryder, "whether your fairy godmother will let you stay later than twelve tonlghtt" "You must ask Georgle," she said yly, "She gave me this frock." "People don't have a birthday very day of 'heir lives," cried Georgle, breaking oft her vivacious Chatter. "Twenty-tour today Is tbat or because It suited him to let his otber two guests entertain each other, he devoted himself to Jenny. This, he Insisted, was her party. Presontly, wlun ho had cajoled the orchestra Into playing one of her favorites, she found herself dancing with him, "Looks like a stretcher-case," ha remarked, Jerking his bead towards Garth Aveney's dark bead, still near the reddish glenm of Georgle's. "Time that Townsend chap turned up agnln, what?" "I don't think Georgle Is special ly Intorested In Eddie Townsend," said Jenny mechanically. Georgle bad told her long ago to stave oil enquiries with this kind of thing. An acknowledged engagement to Eddie was the last thing Georgia wanted. "Seems not," admitted Ryder. He puckered up his rather fat face Into tbe grin that olwa. a made Jenny think he was going to cry I "Odd chap, Aveney evidently seen Georgle before somewhere, though he says not. Askeu me two or three tlmea to arrange a party like this so that he could meet her." Jenny, telling herself that she was not Interested, let her eyes wander to the table where tho others eat. There was a big mirror behind tt and for a 'second she believed that while he talked and listened to Georgle, his eyes were upon the re flected dancers, upon one dancing silver figure moving In the mirror. . . . She frowned the fancy out of her mind. At that distance It could only be her fancy. SUe said casual ly: "Is he a great friend of yours?" "Who, Aveney? No. Know noth ing about him, really, though I've a notion I ought to. Mot blm forget where. He seemed keen to have a drink wltb me, but that's explained now." Again his bead and his grin Indicated the table In the recess. "Yes," said Jenny firmly. 8hs thought It time lo be Arm with her self. That softly spoken "Jenny Revolt" ehe closed her ears and tried to forget It. (Cor-vrlgAt, Julia Clett-Aidams) "Don't you went te dines with meT" Oerth sake Jenny tomorrow.
