The picture gallery was new, an ad-

on the too polished floor: the bare

parative. There were plenty of people
lingering in groups in the center of

by the great refiectors that circled
the room, throwing out the pictures in
bright band of color around the
walls. People leaning from this Dor

She was ready for something ex-

she was taken aback by It, 1t gave
her start, that toss of black hair,
that long, irregular, pale face whose
scintillant, sardonic smile was merci-
lessly upon the poor, inadequate pic

above the rail was so abrupt that his
long, lean back was almost horizontal.

elegant in the swing of HMM the
careless twist Of his head, around, to
speak to the woman behind him, The
light above struck blind on the glass
in one eye, but the other danced with
= genial, mad scintillation. The light
of it caught like contagion, and
touched the merest glancer at him
with the spark of its warm, ironic
mirth. The question which naturally
rose to Flora's lips-"Who in the
world is that?"-she checked; why,
she didn't ask herself. She only felt
as she followed Clara, trailing away
across the floor, that the interest of
the evening which had promised so
well. beginning with the Chatworth
ring. had been raised even a note
higher, Her FESTIVE fancy was begin

little secret stage were up.

so profusely introducing him, were an
assuraL-e of how that pilgrimage
would terminate, since it was Ella
Butler who was parading him. She
even wondered before which of the
ford pictures at the far, other end of
the room, as before a shrine, the cere-
mony would take place.
She kept her eyes fixed on the

Mangan stopped il.
The girls complained that the men
would not take them home. but wanted
TO take them to the beach. The girls
left the car and the four men were
arrested for distur bing the peace. They
explained to Police Judge Shortail
yesterday that they were intoxicated

more young girls were ruined in that
way than by frequenting dances in
cafes. He dismissed the cases, advis-
ing the defendants to get older girls
when taking another joy ride.
