Pom Quellerton hoe accepted Jerry Winthrope'e fopitation for a ten dance. And although Jerry might not have had the nerve to ask Pam for the date if he had not made a bet with Antoine, the orchestra leader, there iJ no doubt but that the invitation ie sincere. Chapter Three Snubbed CUKSET m ipun like dell cate Iridescent cobweb against pink sky when Jerry's car pulled up at the Quellerton door that afternoon. Jerry had pur posely arrived a little late. He wanted to make a grand entrance with Pam at the tea dance, "knock 'em off their pins," he thought to himself. . Juan opened the door to admit hl'.n. There was a dignity about the old man that gave anything he did something of an air. Pam seemed to materialize out of the shadows of the wide stair, her brown eyes soft and lovely, gen tle laughter on her lips. Jerry stood for a startled mo ment and stared. He'd been right knock 'em off their pins was it It had never occurred to him to wonder about Pam's clothes, what sort of a horn she came from and music was played especially for them. She was aware of little be sides Jerry and the rhythm to which they moved. Jerry, looking over her head, saw his mother's gaze following them. He could all but feel his mother asking who that pretty child was. But Adele was all right She'd never been a snob. "Hello, Jerry!" The words dropped coolly into a moment of their dance. "Hello. Lenore." Jerry didn't even look toward the speaker. He knew too well what he would see in his sister's face. She rarely bothered to speak to him unless she had some scheme up her sleeve. Lenore was like that Cool and casual and almost crueL When the dance ended Jerry saw Lenore bearing down on them with several girls and a young man or two in her wake. It was too late to whisk Parn away. Lenore was within hailiri distance. Her voice was smooth and sultry, like her appearance. "Hello, Jerry!" And then ap pearing to have seen Pam for the first time, she exclaimed: "Oh. the cocoanut girl! The Palmetto hat girl. Have you any fish flowers lor sale today?" "I've Just finished soma lovely violets. If you like " Pam start ed in all sincerity and a little touch of pride, for she was justly proud of her work. Then she stopped suddenly. Something about the faces of the girls si lenced her and brought a swift w. " n 'Pam's certainly a success," said a smooth voice. If she'd have the things to wearl to a tea dance. And he needn't nave. He had never seen a girl more right than she looked that moment. She was like a slender flower with just a touch of the lustiness of the tropics about her. "Pam, you're lovelyl" ha ex claimed. The smile she flashed at him was bright and sweet as an April rlay. The pride she heard in his Voice lighted all of the little facets of her being. She was glowing as he helped her into the car and closed the door, then hurried round to sit beside her. He had not been In error about the effect she would have on his friends at Casa Marina. He walked slowly toward the out door dance floor with her. No need to ask her If she danced. Ehe was made for it and he'd been right about so many things bout her, he must be right about this. Jerry slipped an arm around Pam and eased into the rhythm with the dancers. Their steps mated with a beautiful perfec tion. Jerry sensed Immediately the attention they were attracting. The boys from the bandstand on the beach, smart resort clothes re. r 'lacing their trunks, were signal ng with their eyes. But Jerry edged expertly away from cut ins. Boys crowded around for Intro, ductions when the music stopped. A scattering of girls came, too. Jerry saw his mother sitting on a bench on the lawn and took Pam toward her. "You must meet Adele," ha aid. "She's a grand scout" "Your sister?'' Pam asked. "No, my mother." Scene XfRS. WIKTHROPE was gra ' cious and charming and told Pam her dress was a picture, that it looked like Paris or something. "It should look more like Key West!" Pam was laughing hap pily as she spoke. "I made it my self!" "But not those flowers around the hem?" "Oh. I made those, too. Fish scales." "My dear, what clever fingers! I've paid exorbitant prices for, things not half as lovely." I "Really? Would you like some? Td love to make you a big bunch, if you'd accept thrml" "That's a promise, child!" I And then Antnine was plaving asain. It seemed to Pam as' she Boated away with Jerry that the1 flush to her face. A girl tittered audibly. Some of the young men with Lenore moved away from her group, their faces uncomfort ably flushed as if ashamed of the rudeness they had been trapped into. "Next dance. Miss Quellerton?" one of them asked pleasantly. Freda BUT, as If with soma seventh sense, Antoine started playing after an incredibly short intermis sion. Jerry, his arm around Pam, swung her into the dance. Pam could feel a sort of tenseness about him as they moved over the floor. They danced for a wordlesa space. Then Pam, who had been stung to silence, found her voice. Perhaps you had better take me home," she whispered He looked down at her. his gray eyes tender. "No, Pam, I can't Perhaps If 1 didn't feel about you as I do, I might But I'll be bringing you here again and again, so Lenore's got to be taught a lesson. She's my sister, you know, and she likes being decent Just about as much as a cat likes water. I'm iust telling you so you won't mind her in the future. Next time give her as good as she sends." 'But I d rather not stav." Pam said, still trying to stifle the hurt. "For me, please," Jerry said quickly, and then let a cut-in take her. That was the only thing to do, he thought Let Lenore and her little band of rats see that Pam could take their mm away from thrm. That would brins them to their knees quicker than anything else. Men to beau them around were necessity to the winter girt Jerry stood at the edge of the floor and watched Pam go from one cut-in to another. "She's certainly a success," said a smooth feminine voice. "No drafted men there. All eager vol unteers." Jerry turned quickly to the girl who had been looking at Pam. Their eyes met "Oh Fredal Not you too, I hope? "Oh, you mean Lenore? 1 saw that little act and supposed she was pulling a fast one knowing Lenore." "Yes, knowing Lenore. Some one ought to feed her poison lw." Jerry's eyes were on Pam again. She was doing a foolish, gay step with one of hn friends, lie was proud of her smooth expertnesa and grace.
