How she had coaxed Gerald to go!
He used to love dancing! How mar

with women. They didn't lose all ro-
nance In two short years.
Then she thought of something. Why
not go to dancing school alone? Many
women didi
She rolled baby's bed as quietly as
she could to the window and pulled
the shade to the top. II she left a
bright light burning in the room she
could look over at him after every
dance to make sure he was all right.
In a few minutes she was dressed
In a year-old white gown and black
slippers and stockings. but she felt
like Cinderella in satin and crystal
going to her first ball.
The preliminaries were a little try
ing to timid Priscilla, but the delight
of dancing more than made up for
the effort. AS she had planned, after
every dance she went to the window
for peep at the baby, who lay. as
she had left him, sound asleep in his
bed close to the window
Priscilla laughed softly to herself
How splendidly her plan had worked
Two hours of pleasure like this once
a week would keep her going hun
dreds of lonely evenings at home
alone. What Gerald does not know
does not hurt himl" she reflected
smiling. I'm not doing anyone in the
world bit of harm"
The class work on new one-step
took a little longer than usual, and
by the time it was over Priscilla was
frantic with anxiety. She made
straight for the window and looked
down at Baby Geralds window.
She put her hand suddenly to her
mouth to stiie a scream. She was
just in time to see two masculine
arms lift baby from his bed and dis
appear.
She had locked the door and no one
else but Gerald had key. But Ger
aid had no pepper-and-salt clothes. and
the two arms that held her precious
baby were encased In rough tweed!
Priscilla ran! Like fash she was
down the stairs, out on the street

standing open and-Gerald junior was

She tried to reach the telephone. but
the floor was waving and everything
was dancing before Der eyes. She sat
down an instant until things should

AN EVENING OFF
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Priscilla laid Gerald junior In his
crib, tilted the bottle to just the
proper angle and snatched a soft lit
tie handkerchief out OF her belt just
IN time 10 prevent very bitter tear
from dropping down on to the wee
pink cheek on the pillow.
Gerald senior had Just gone out,
slamming the door as most males do.
considering the same fitting finale
for q marital row. This was their
first quarrel and Priscilla felt that
the earth was shaking under her feet.
She slipped into kimono and sat
down by the window. It was not quite
dark, but the street below was very
quiet: SO was the little fat--just
soft. contented sound from the crib in
the corner. The silence added to her
loneliness. OF course little Gerald was
the dearest, sweetest, most precious
darling in the wide world, but after
she had cooed and kissed and patted
and rocked all day, to say nothing OF
the ceremonious bath and airing In the
perambulator. she felt It her privilege
to associate with people of her own
age, after baby had settled himself to
sleep all night; preferably Gerald
senior, but-and this was what the
trouble was all about-he had a drug
store, and no one could be trusted
with the precious prescription factory
from 8 a. m. until IL D. m. daily but
himself. Priscilla was left to amuse
herself as best she could.
Suddenly someone threw up win
dow in the building next door and
strains of music came floating over
to her. She raised her own window
in order to hear better. 1t was a
waltz. and, looking up. she caught
glimpse now and then of passing
dancers.
Gerald junior was sleeping now. She
took away the bottle, covered him
snugly-and then she went to her
desk. Long ago she had tucked away
an engraved card somewhere in a
pigeonhole She found it under the
baby's weight chart.
