Jon. She asked for secluded table
and as soon as we were seated, we
surveyed the salon, searching for the
tiny figure of Jim Lorimer's ire
sponsible little bride.
The place was so decorated that
it tired, the eyes, SO noisy that it
hurt the ears; the wit and music so
banal that no mentally alert person
could long endure them.
Oldish over-dressed women smok-
ed, joked and danced with young
ish over-dressed young men. All were
so sophisticated that l wondered how
they could stand for the flattery they
were swapping.
Oldish men were smoking, joking
and dancing with very young girls,
whose charm was an obvious belief
in the flattery the men shoveled out
to them. A mature man of any
sense would have been bored to death
by the silly chatter of those unedu-
Gated misses in short skirts.
My adventure had lost part of its
promised thrill. Like many another
girl | had yearned to cross Chang
Foo's mysterious threshold One in
side the lacquered door, | found the
place utterly wearying. The only
charm it had was the charm of the
forbidden. Others, married, like
Ann, considered it exciting to smoke
across a table from a man of many
amours, like Van. The scene not
only wearied me. it disguised me.
Deb finished her survey by locat-
ing Ann, then settled down to give
our order. She was much relieved,
too much relieved, it seemed to me.
"Deb, YOU look as if you were well
pleased NOT to find somebody in this
place" I laughed. "Who is it,"
A women's laugh floated to me in
pause of the oriental dance music.
I knew the magnificent contralto
quality of that laugh. | understood
what price / was paying for Ted
Moore's undesired kiss.
ITO be continued.)
