And he said: "Damn it. you oueht to be." "But I am, really." "Well, I should hope so." And she said: "Well, I'm telling you, I am!" "Then do something about it. Be constructive. Wipe me off." She pulled ,the handkerchief out of his breast pocket and went to work. Under her efforts, the ice cream, which had landed on his coat in three or four gobs, turned into one great svil smear. "Thank you so much," said the young man with copper colored hair. "You shouldn't be running down the stairs with a disgust ingly iuii piate, anyway, ma ging. in tue wmte dross reDUKea mm. "Well, you see, my grandmoth er's down in the men's room, and I was just bringing her a snack." She laughed. "Do I know you?" "I don't know. Do you?" "I do now," she said. "What's your name?" "David Day." "I like your hair, young man." "Ah. but wait till you see my tango." He glanced over nis snoui- der at the ballroom anove. "All right," she answered. "My name is btairord . . . Nina." They mounted the stairs to gether, David's grandmother for gotten. "Are you giving this party, by any chance, Nina? And she smiled a minute before she answered: "Yes." But David didn't get very far with her. Somebody cut in, who wanted to knew where she had been all his life; and then some body cut in, who wanted to know if he had ever told her how beau tiful she was; and after that, some body else, who wanted to know where she had been all his life. Nina began to long for the young man with the copper-colored hair, who had been quite rude to her. Presently, he came along. "Did you nx up your grand mother, David?" "Yeah. She's sitting round swap- Fing stories with the boys . . . Hell, dun't like your party." Another pair of arms. And an other. She frowned. What was the mat ter with her? Was she getting too old for this sort of thing already, at 21? Or was it the new, funny young man? . . . Where had he been going, way down to the first floor, with the ice cream? The hotel ballroom had been turned into a Montmartre square. There were pavements and fake building fronts around the edges of the room, and tables with t icrkcd gingham covers. There were crooked street lamps, and a kiosk, and when Nina spied a great, synthetic cobweb, she felt that it was too much to bear. She reached out and stopped Cordelia Thorpe, her hostess. "Really, darling, I can't stand It. That cobweb has just gotten me down." "I know. Isn't It marvellous? I wanted a dead fly a very dead one caught in a corner. But do you think the Party Mart could produce a fly? . . . My dear, you could ask for a herd of elephants and they wouldn't blink an eye, but a dead tly . . . "Perhaps it was because you wanted it so very dead. Cordelia. How long does it take for one to decompose; David's flaming head ap proached. "Cordelia, do you know Mr. Day? . . . Miss Thorpe, David.

Cordelia Thorps took a deep breath and held it Nina said: "I must warn you. David Day, that anything you say iitill hi, iiil ,min.l irnt, " "Young man, this is my party." But was David flustered? He was not. 'mrn . ii .nj mw tm sorry. I didn't know. You see I came along with young Beagler "Beaglet" "Yes Surely you know young Beagle? "What Beagle? Or Beagle wnair Beagle Beagle.

David came with his grandmother. He told me. Cordelia rolled her eyes toward the blue muslin heaven. Well, what do you say we drop the whole thing? This probably isn't my party, at all; and I came with T.B. "Good old T.B.," sighed David. "How that fellow gallops aroundl . . Shall we dance, Nina?" David's Second Best Barouche NINA caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror, and saw that she looked nice. She was glad. Her flaxen hair was shiny smooth on the top, and softly curling at the back and sides, where it was meant to. She also saw that it swore, a little, with the copper head above it Or did it? She thought of her cigarette case made of two shades oi gold . . . No, It didn t swear, r un ny David. "Funny David." "You're nice." Pointedly. "Yes, I am a nice girl." Dreami ly. "If 1 drive you home In my ba rouche, will you promise not to be a nice girl?" "I'm never nice, in barouches, David. Thais my one exception, "Sold!" "Oh, dear ..." someone cut in. Now whv h pd she said that? As he walked away, she noticed that the stains had been removed from his tuxedo; and then, that his was probably the only tuxedo, In a room full of tails. She didn't think much about it She just noticed it Around four o'clock, the party came to an end. People said: "Marvelous time, Cordelia. Gra-a-and." People drifted down the stair case, and after a last: "What did you think of It reallu. Nina?" Cor delia let her go too. They were each other's very closest friend, and it would be a lot of fun, tomorrow, talking it over. When she came out of the dressing-room, swathed In her mink cape, David was waiting for her. He had on a nice looking chester field; but though his felt hat was Just battered enough to be dash ing. It looked out of place among all the operas. He Said: "It's only my second best barouche, outside, Nina. I'm sorry. I hopo you won't mind." She knew a fleeting moment of terror, lest it be some fearfuL ' handpalnted, rattletrap affair, with ' maybe even pennants tacked on behind. It wouldn't have surprised her. But she said, brightly, that of course she didn't mind. To the left of tha entrance, a krot of private chauffeurs and i taxi-drivers had gathered round a car. David led her toward it and with each sten her heart sank . . . until the men turned around and backed away, disclosing small, new, cream-colored convertible phaeton.- It had green leather uphol stery, and green wheels, and every Known gadget, norn, lamp ana whatnot, attached to it It was smart, and uppity, and giy among the big, dark cars. xou u have to excuse It," apol ogized David.

Hold on second, will you?" and he dashed back. Nina shook her head. What next? The nice idiot apparently never ran out of surprises. Beagle Likes Nina .
