The people of Morgan City becoming more and more

the impossible condition of the streets and crossings

soldiers. They nodded their heads
approvingly.
And I'm not going to be bashful or
'fraid either" she called to them over
her shoulder as she went back to her
house.
The great evening arrived at last.
The biggest park of the city was
strung with lanterns. great crowds of
people were gathered about the CEN
trail platform that was hastily built
for speakers and singers and dancers;
Grace was decked in a new white
dress and she had a beautiful new
rose veil to float about over her head
when she danced the. Coming of

and she wore dainty white slippers

Mother wisely arrived with her a
few minutes before her time to appear
on the program. The announcement
was made and onto the stage Grace
hoated. Music was waited from the
trees nearby and the little girl began.
Strange. there was no feeling of
bashfulness. Mother, who watched
nearby, noted this with relief. On
and on Grace swayed and stepped.
The first dance was over and the sec.

astic. Grace was applauded and forced

truly the sensation of the evening.
You were very good tonight dear"
said mother gently on the way home.
How did you do it,"
Grace laughed.
It's a secret" she replied, putting
her arm around her mother. But
I'll tell you. I danced with my eyes
shut halfway. l pretended I YVES out

He had put away his sack of snakes
and now he fastened Geraldine's bas-

H OW Grace loved to dance!
NSA She hummed tunes for her ac-
impairment and skipped about
3 with intense enjoyment. Big sis
ters rose chiffon veil was used 10
wave about in the air. All the steps
that had been taught at school were
practiced over anG over again. Grace
added new ones of her own and she
really made d very beautiful picture
as she swayed about TO the tune OF
some soft piece Of music that big sister
played in the evening wnen her beau
called.
But alas, pretty though the picture
of the little dancing grille was, not
soul saw it. No one beheld the dainty
steps she took, nor noted the grace
which she displayed. making one
think that her name was aptly given.
No. not a soul ever saw the little
dancer, nor enjoyed her dancing.
She was bashfnl! 1t seems foolish
hat little girl who could dance so
beautifully should not do it for other
peoples pleasure. But it was true.
She was her own only audience.
And yet. this isn't exactly true.
For Grace was trying to break her
self of bashfuIness and as she danced
she would pick out a nice smooth
grassy place in the meadow near her
house. where the flowers sprung ev-
erywhere that her foot touched and
great groups of birds circled above
her in the blue sky. Here she would

The box will have to be 50 arranged

n explained Geraldine's cousin
Frank, its a sort of'plateau, you
~ see. Maybe you'd like to climb
Up on this big rock and look around"
Geraldine said she would as she
had been in Arizona only a short time
and had never before seen a mesa.
Her cousins. Frank and Louis. helped
her up the large boulder which looked
like a desert island standing by itself
in an ocean Of yeIlowish earth. When
they had/almost reached the top Of

Frank. scrambling and sliding down

They rocked around for another
boulder to climb when Louis pointed
into the distance and exclaimed:
Look! Indians"
Sure enough There were two In
dians coming toward them. one carry
ing a sack. As the children watched.
he stopped and lifted something from
the ground, which he put into his bag.
As he did 50 they saw the other mar,
who carried a short thick club, raise

ened up. saw what his companion was
about and began 10 tussel with him.
As Frank and Louis. both sturdy boys
in their teens. came running 10 help.
the man with the club squirmed away
and darted off, racing with the long,
even stride of an Indian.
The other man turned to the boys
and srunted:
Him very bad fel!a."
Geraldine came up. curious to know
what all the trouble was about. The
Indians sack lay on the ground and
as the little girl glanced at il she
thought she saw it move.

dance and try to overcome her falling.
And this is how she went about 1t.
She named the flowers around her
after friends and pretended that they
were real people watching her dance.
That tall blue thistle was her aunt
Jane; those little yellow buttercups
were the girls and boys in her class
sisters and brothers who laughed at
her no matter what she did. The
daisies gave her much uneasiness,
more in fact than the buttercups. The
big red, poppy was mother. and ii
gave her more encouragement than
all the others. for sometimes as it
nodded in the breeze 1t seemed to
approve of her dancing and she lost
all her concern about herself and
thought only of the beauty of the
dance and mothers pleasure.
Gradually Grace felt more conf
dence in herself. She felt that her
plan was working wonders and that
she was really outgrowing her bash
fulness.
Then came the test.
