It seemed to startle him to be hold a new Phillipa. She under stood his interest, knew that he was upset, excited and in need of some form of relief for his pent-up feelings. He would want her to be different.

Phillipa scenied to him the right kind of girl. She wasn't beautiful, like Natalie, but Alan thought her decidedly attractive as she sat watching a line of girls dancing from table to table, doing their act. citedly. "Did you see that?" she Suddenly she turned to him ex-
