Charlotte stood watching the
dancers surge past her. It was like
a kaleidoscope Of glistening color, and
somehow she felt she didn't belong in
the scheme Of decoration. She knew
she was not what is called pretty.
Her cheekbones were too high, and
her mouth too large. No one had OBJ
truded the fact on her that her hair
and eyes were good to look at, and
her smile particularly fetching, for
Charlotte was not conceited, and her
mother and elder sister being of the
Puritanic type, had taken pains that
she should not be.
The girl in all her nineteen years
had never been to anything quite so
grand as this. The festivities of the
little schoolteacher had not extended
beyond the church socials and small
dances among her few chums. Bat
Aunt Maude, who had been living in
California for six years, suddenly APP
peared in their midst, and began re-
newing her acquaintance with many
whom her sister, Charlotte's mother,
had dropped or been dropped by when
the change in her fortunes had obliged
her to earn her living by taking
boarders.

find that Charlotte had no "real So
ciety," as she called 1t, and she began
a reform in that direction by secur-
ing for her niece an invitation to the
Purcell party, the host being one of
the millionaire automobile manufac-
turers Of the city.
Having introduced her niece to the
hostess, Aunt Maude had met some
old friends, and become so engrossed
in conversation that she had for the
time forgotten the girls existence.
Charlotte was just trying to decide
whether she would rudely break
through the circle to her chaperon or
turn and fly when young man who,
she mentally decided, was about as
plain as she was, came up and asked
her to dance. They swung out among
the swaying throng. Presently another
couple collided with them, and her
partner stepped on her foot. He
apologized most profusely, but the re-
mainder of the dance was something
like agony to the girl, though she
would not let him see how much she
was hurt.
When the music stopped she asked
him if he would take her to her aunt.

"Are you so very anxious to find
that aunt?" he persisted.

dancing"

uOu ueASNo yOu NdA-uul you

Charlotte decided he had merry,
wide-awake eyes, and strong, whole
some lines about the mouth when she
met his direct gaze. A rather bad
nose and dust-colored hair didn't
seem to matter so much now. Besides
he seemed to want her company, and
perhaps he was just as lonely in that
crowd as she was. He led the way to
a wonderful conservatory where the
tall palms met over their heads.
