This diversion was greeted with a
shout. The girl giggled, brushed of
her arm, and adjusted the jeweled
strap over her powdered shoulders.
Now the lights flashed out and a
spotlight was thrown on the dancing
space into which ran girl in an alb
breviated costume made from a
white fringed shawl. She wriggled
and writhed. swapping her fingers
stamping her feet and twisting her
body in a sort OF Spanish fandango,
while she scanned the diners with her
black penciled eyes.
She finished in a mad spin, her
short fringed skirt whirling straight.
Running off, she tossed the red rose
from her hair to a table OF four men
who were drinking champagne and
applauding uproariously.

"Only twenty minutes more to

Again the place was darkened and
the spotlight turned on girl in the
balcony who came to the railing to
sing.
