Harry's cordial voice as the hall
door opened and he ushered me
into Symone ballroom.
Come on, Margie," shouted
Bali Tenney. "You are said to be
the only one In this crowd who
can teach an awkward man like
me the tango"
Evidently IL Bill Tenney Is to
do any stumbling he will not be
like his wife and stumble on

and he'll think some girl must
help him do It.
After ] had taken off my wraps
/ found myself In the midst of
the whole room of dancing ANS,
of which Eliene was the maddest
and gayest.
While Bill Tenney and Jim Edie
struggled for the first dance, l
felt myself quietly taken In tow
by some one whose step was In
perfect accord with mine.

much about It,"
"Someway, I've always felt
that angels were of the feminine
gender, and that, as they were
most composed of wings and NO
other things, they could not be
at all interesting. Having, how
ever, been called an angel twice
today by two very clever young
women, l have really been able to
get up little interest ON the sub

What did Mollie call you an
angel for?" l asked bluntly.
Are you sure 1t was Mollie?'

That's one OF her pet names
for people who please her.
| II like to please her." he said
under his breath.

"She does, my dear Mrs.
Waverly; she does"

He looked at me SO curiously

stopped dancing just a moment
beside Harry Symone.
"Sit down here by me, Margie,
for a minute" said Harry. You
have been dancing like dervish
for the last hour"
