She ought to be thankful, she reminded herself sternly, that she was hero at all in- stond of being stuck' at home, curled up with a magazine. Two or three people waved to her as sho made her way through the dining room, brave with lanterns and the club colours. She saw Isabel in, pale green, smiling up at a tall young man in a whita mens Jacket, a scarlet cummerbund around his slim waist. His back was turned to her, but she thought there was something vaguely familiar in the set of his sleek, doric head. The mom.ent passed she could not recall who he was, and in an instant she was at Mrs. Waterman's table, in the embrasure, and two olderly, rubicund and smiling gentlemen were vying for the honour of drawing oui her chair.
Mrs. Itaeburn pursed up her thin lips ever so slightly and, although The made no further commont, her daughter know the incident had dis- pleased her. Dintay Adrian was al very woll: everyone knew him. But Larchneck's inner circle was a little corporation. Newcomers closed, were looked upon with the darkest suspicion. Although a seant 50 min uten from the spires of Manhattan, the small, complacent suburban town had the tightness and narrownees of spirit which might have belonged to some provincial village far removed from any centre of sophistication.
Boots went on into the house, nodding to Linda, who was setting the tablo on the side porch. This morning everything had been lovely. Birds. sunshine, flowers, even the smell of suda as Linda sang over her wash

Then they were dancing, swinging along together lightly and gracefully to the
and tune of that sweetest olitest of waltzes, "The Blue Danube." Boots had not known dancing could
be like this. She, herself, danced na naturally as she walked. It was in her blood. But she bad never danced, before, with anyone whose step fitted her own so perfectly. Neither spoke. it was perfect this way.
Almost before she realized what was happening Tardy had danced her out of one of the long French window and onto the veranda. It was cool here, A light wind beilled the sails that awung at anchor just around the point.

Hardy held her arm very tightly in his. "Let's grab ourselves a boat." he said quickly. "Let's go for a buzz. It's too hot in there."
TO CAETY
Boots was tempted. Hardy away from the crowd, to which she did not, tonight, belong. would be a grim triumph. Mr. Waterman's stern facado rose up be fore her and she wavered:
