funny place ] said. as We
threaded our way through
the maze OF tables. The ar was thick
with tobacco smoke. and there wss
quite an air Of bohsmisnism about
everything
Peggy" said Dick, laushingIy,
when they were seated at one of the
little round tables, the most refresh
ing part OF knowing you IS 10 be able
TO feel that you are absolutely truth
sui about everything you say And
then you have a way Of opening your
ayes"
"oh, DO you think I ought 10 sP-
pear more wordiyT' ! querisd
Z should say not. III take care Of
that part Of It Here walter" and
Dick gave the order, while looked
around was really very curious
about the place. II isn't really bit
81 fun 90 eat a. stsid prosy old
places, whore things are perfectly
proper, and you are almost positive
ahat your next door neighbor IL all
that is TO be desired in the way %
pFopristy
~oh, Dick. DO they haze cabaret
hsrsT- Dtch was utiu busy with tho
waiter, but almost Immediately out
same q man and sirI who began TO
ssns and dsncs The song was all
about some new dance called the
CrAwnah Crawl. and al the end OF the
sAOrus they began TO dance down
among the tAblss OF course ! wac
quite absorbed in the dance I'd ike
10 INTRODUCES something now IN tina
way OF q dance al the club this ysar,
sut as they passed our table the man
actually wtnksd Of me-. OF course
Dick saw him do g. but for once be
gave tAs bsnsnt Of the doubt, and
said:
Peggy. don't forget what told
Ssu about those syss."
Jealousy" ! said. WiokeeIy, and
gnen oh Dick they're coming back !
/ think the girl 10 Awfully pretty"
This time the girl WAS facing us.
and suddsnly I saw Dick get red, and |
hen nash Of recognition pass be-
tween them.
DICK EMBARRAssED.
"oh. you know herr do Introduce me-
20 your friend"
But Dick answered quickly, "ponS
be fooiish. Peggy. a man has to know
many people that It would be inn
possible for him 90 INTRODUCES to -
girl like you"
Yes, she was rather wreck
agreed Such a lot of paint and no
hair to speak OF, and that awful
gown"
II was Just because ! was begin
ming to tire OF DICK that l spoke in
that onhand WAY. Two weeks ago
cared too much about him 20 attempt
such a thing Isn't life funny
Dick looked orOss bu; l Was laugh
ing, ana Just then our order came, |
and the walter was quitting a thin |
stemmsd glass In front OF me- / |
looked over at Dick, and he smiled
enoourARingly, but / shook my head.
why not, Peggy he insisted;
aren't you going to be a good fellow
Why, that's the mildest thing in thu /
world; couldn't possibly hurt you"
~ know, Dick. but I'd rather not,
really. What made you order II up
without consulting meF'
why, ] thought OF COURSE that
you we're game for = good slime
Aren't you ever going 10 be anything
but a little prude?"
Il don't think the two things nat
orally follow" / said decidedly, and,
anyway, you know very we'll that 1
shouldn't have allowed you TO order
me a cocktail; It's simply another eH-
ample OF your inordtnRts concsit II
! have allowed you to decide for me
In the past things are going to be
sifTsrent IN the future"
Dick looked AZ me in Rmzzement,
and, indeed, ] was surprised that
had dared to sssert myself. But I
6smurely disssoted my terrapin and
waited for him TO say something. IL
wasn't very long In coming. for be-
fore I know what was happening the
waiter had flled my glass from a tall
bottle that he took out OF pail flled
with ice
Dick leaned forward authoritative
~. Peggy, l want you TO drink some
OF thts Don't make mo think you've
never been out anywhere before
