Again their eyes met With a mutual
impulse they drew toward each other.
Then began dance as different from

Throwing herself back into the
strength of his circllng embrace, the
girls outstretched arms swayed like
wind blown lilies in rhythm with the
music, her light step scarcely touching
earth as the prince guided her through
the mazes Of the dance.
It was a strange, dexterous blend Of

Love, eager and eternal, was In the
gaze Of each. Eye said openly to eye
what sullen pride forced back from the

Then a last dreamy chord and the
music was hushed. Danilo and Sonia
started, amazed, as though from some
vision Of paradise. The widow, fearful
lest by impulsive word she might
wreck her plan Of bringing Danilo to
her feet, darted breathlessly away to
welcome a new group Of guests. The
prince, left alone, stared after her, open
mouthed. A clapping Of applauding
hands aroused him.

"Were you looking for me" he asked,
