My eyes followed Jim's and 1
caught sight of Dick across the room
dancing with Eleanor Fairlow. They
did not seem to be hitting it off to-
getheT at the very best pace, but they
were talking very earnestly. Dick
was looking rather suIlen and Flea
nor distressed.
How long have you been here,

About half hour. I came with
Harry. Eliene and Eleanor FairlOw,
and since 1 came 1 danced with both
of them. You and Hatton were so

Jim put me through a number Of

then sputtered, Look here, Margie,
