Cordelia Knlcrluina An Unexpected Guest
HE said: "Oh, I'm sorry!"
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.

"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

David's flaming head ap
proached. "Cordelia, do you know Mr.
Day? . . . Miss Thorpe, David. Da
vid, do you know how long It takes
a fly to decompose? , . . will you
look at that cobweb?"
He fighed. ecstatically.
"Girls. I am all over aoose nlm-

"Oh, no. David came with his

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

"Nit wit It s precious, David. It s

patted Its chromium nose.
"Oh, Lord, that reminds me. I
forgot my grandmother. 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 .
HE RETURNED with something
big under his arm. that waa
very restless. Five long somethings
dangled down, and waved about m '

er, Nina saw that they were four
legs and a tail.
''Hello grandmother!" she
