is always invited so that he can take
; her home.
Walters has a soft heart. not so
much for the girls, who but for him
might have to be out alone after dark.
as for his friends, who need a man
to act as an escort for the unattached
girls. He appreciates the awkward
position they are in. and instead OF
being otherwise engaged when he gets
a call he always hangs up the receiver
hastily and then jumps into a dress
suit
OF course, he is imposed upon some
times, but as rule he manages to get
a fair degree of entertainment out OF
his duties. He even boasts of going to
all the best parties and dancing with
all the prettiest girls without ever
falling in love and thus losing out in
the game.
Walters had gone with so many
different girls and had become so gen.
orally known for his obliging disposi-
ton that nc one was at all surprised
when he showed up at the Thompsons
dance with Frank Webster's girl
Frank Websters engagement to this
girl hadn't been formally announced.
but it was pretty well known, and il
anyone but Walters had gone with her
there would have been talk
Webster had been suddenly called
out of town, and in order that Sally
might go to the dance called up Wal
tiers and asked him as favor to take
Sally Walters, as usual, was willing
All the way to the dance Walters
explained to Sally just why Frank had
had to keep his business engagement
and break his social engagement with
her. Still, she couldn't see just how it
was, and so she felt bit resentful
She was holding Walters flowers to
her face while Walters explained |
Franks position for the twentieth |
time. Then she suddenly asked:
But would you have broken your en-
gagement with me to keep business
engagement"
have broken forty business engage
ments rather than break one with her.
She smiled sweetly and drew out
various other professions of devotion
from him before they got to the dance.
Walters was always as attentive TO
the girls as they would permit. SO
when Sally smiled her approval on
his every action he put his whole
soul into his attentions. Thus. before
the evening was over the two were
absorbed in each other ana apparent

Walters attentiveness was SO
marked and the two became so ex-
remely exclusive during the evening
hat the others took notice to their
conduct and quite a little gossip
started
