New-York tribune., 1920-12-05

I inside were directly contradictory.
His inside was one tumultuous flut-
tering: there might have been half
dozen nests Of distracted young
birds in his chest, but as he went
upstairs to the "gentlemen's dress
ing room to leave his hat and sick
this Topping and chirping and
scrambling within him was never to
be guessed from his outside. His
outside was unsympathetic, even
stately; he greeted his fellow guests
with negligent hauteur, and his
glance seemed to say: "All quite
worthless. Only peasantry here"
The stairway was crowded as he
descended; he kept next to the rail,
looking down with some dawn of
benevolence in his eyes as they trav-
elcd over the heads and shoulders of
the throng below, in Julia's hall, for
the thought came to him that as he
had the first and last dances and
supper engaged with Julia, the hos
tess, this was really almost the next
thing to being the host. 1t was a
warming thought, and a slight gra-
ciousness was now added to his mods
and salutations.
At the foot of the stairs he be-
came part Of the file of young peo-
pie who were moving into one of the
large rooms where Julia stood to
"rcceivc.' And then, between two
heads before him, he caught first
glimpse of her 1t was like flash
Of white jewels in sudden light
and at the sight all the young birds
huttering in his chest burst into
song; his heart fainted his head bal
looned; his feet seemed to be dam
Cling from him at the ends Of two
strings, not legs.
There stood Julia
The group closed, shutting out
the vision, and he found himself able
to wipe his brow and get back his
breath before moving forward in a
cold and aristocratic attitude. Then he
became incapable Of any attitude-hc
was before her, and she greeted him.
A strong buzzing in his ears con-
fused him; he spoke to her thickly
and would have stood forever, but
pressure from behind pushed him on,
and so, enveloped in a deep but
scented cloud, he passed into a cor
ner. He tried to think what he had
said to her, but could not, and per
haps it would have discouraged him
to know that at so vital moment
all he had said was, "Well."
Now there ratified out a challenge
Of drums; loud dance music beat
upon the air. Starting instantly to
go to Julia, Mobiles left leg first re-
ceived the electric impulse and
crossed his laggard right, but he
was no PAGER, and thus stumbled
upon himself and plunged. Still con-
Vulsive, he came headlong before her
again, and was the only person in
the vicinity who remained unaware
that his charging dispersal of an in
tervcning group had an appearance
of extreme unconventionalitv. Noble
knew nothing in the world except
that this was his dance with her.
He recovered his balance and pre-
sented himself, open-mouthed and
breathless, his arms plaintively wag-
ging for her.
Then heaven gushed over him.
She came close and touched him ex
quisitely. She placed one lovely
hand upon his shoulder, her other
lovely cool hand in one of his. The
room filled with bursting stars.
They danced

NJ OBlE was conscious Of her
within his clasping arm, but
conscious Of her as nothing
human. The fluffy white bodice
pressed by his hand seemed to be
that Of some priceless, incffable doll !;
the charming shoulder that some
times touched his was made Of di-
vine mist. Only the pretty head,
close to his, was real: the black sap
phire eyes gave him a little blue
black glance now and then and
seemed to laugh.
In truth, they did, though Julia S
lips remained demurc. SO far as
Noble was able to comprehend what
he was doing, he was aAoat in i'm
measurable heights, drifting rhyth-
mlcally to a faint, far music, but he
was almost unconscious. especially
from the knees down. Nevertheless,
to the eye of observers incapable of

floating it appeared that he was out
Of step most of the time, and even
when he was in step he danced
rather hoppingly. However, these
mannerisms were no novelty with
him, and it cannot be denied that
girls at dances usually hurried i'm
pulsively away to speak to somebody
when they saw him coming. One
such creature even went so far as
to whisper to Julia now. during a
collision: "How'd you get caught? 81

no wonder he was a little giddy
as he dressed.
The actual process Of clothing
himself was disconnected, being
broken by various enacted fanccs
and interludes. Having approached
by one sock toward the completion
of his toilet, he abscntly dropped the
other and waltzed again; his express
sion and attitude signifying that he
clasped revered partner. Releas-
ing her from this respectful confine-
ment, he offered the invisible maiden
a gracious arm and walked up and
down the room with a prancing
stateliness tempered to rhythm, like
cakewalk of strange refinement.
Phrases seemed to be running in his
head, impronptus evidently symbolic
Of something touching and roman
tic, for he spoke them half aloud in
the tenderest but most uplifted man
ner.
"Oh, years." he said. "Oh, years
so fair; oh, night so rare" He said
this several times while he paraded
The room with the imaginary lady
clinging to his arm. Then he added,
in deeper voice
"f'or life is but golden dream so
: savectIy."
Other magnificences came forth
from him as his dressing slowly
continued, though one might easily
be at fault in attempting to fathom
what was his thought when, during
the passage Of his right foot through
the corresponding leg Of his trou-
sers, he exclaimed commandingly:
"Now, Jocko, for the stirrup cup"
Jack boots and a faithful squire,
probably.
During the long and dreamy ses-
sion with his neckgear he went
back to the softer motif:
"Oh, gears so fair; Oh, night so
For life is but golden dream so
sweetly."
Then, pausing abruptly to look at
the dress coat, smoothly folded upon
the bed, he addressed it:
"Oh, noblest sample of the tailor's
dext'rous artn'
This was too much courtesy, for
the coat was ready made" and
looked nobler upon the bed than
upon its owner. In fact, it was bv
no means dext'rous sample; but
evidently Noble believed in it with
a high and satisfying faith; and he
repeated his compliment to it as he
put it on
Come, noblest sample Of the tai
lor's dcxt'rous art, III don thee"
N CRlNG these various intrica-
- cies he had beer summoned re-
peatedly to descend to the
family dinner, and finally his mother
came lamenting and called up from
the front hall that "cvcrything' was
call getting coldw,
But by this time he vas on his
way, and though he went back to
leave his hat in his room, unwilling

aware Of his mothers urging food
at him as if he had been a Noble
Dill of tinted waxwork. Several
times he lifted q fork and set it
down without guiding it to its ac-
customed destination. Food was far
from his thoughts or desires, and if
he really perceived its presence at
all it appeared to him as something
vaguely ignoblc upon the horizon.
But he was able to partake of
coffee; drank two cups feverishlv,
ms hand visibly unsteady; and when
his mother pointed out this confirma-
ton of many former prophecies that
cigarettes would ruin him, he asked
II anybody had noticed whether or
not it was raining outdoors. At that
his father looked Respondent, for the
open windows of the dining room
revealed an evening of beautiful and
fragrant clarity.

In regard to the matter of bouton-

Coming down again, he took a
stick under his arm and was about
to set forth when he noticed a little
drift of talcum powder upon one of
his patent leather shoes. After care
fully removing this accretion and
adding a brighter luster to the shoe
by means of friction against the
back Of his ankle, he decided to re-
turn to his room and brush the af-
fected portion of his trouscr leg.
Here a new reverie arrested him: he
stood with the brush in his hand
for some time; then, not having used
it, he dropped it gently upon the
floor, lit an Crduma cigarette, de-
scendcd, and went forth to the quiet
street
He was better than iaunty as he
walked along Julia's Street toward
Julla's Party; there was something
INFINITELY more dramatic than mere
sprightliness about him. His mien
and look were those Of one advanc-
ing to coronation both solemn and
ccstatic. And when he came within

its many lights shining before him.

it's always understood you neUer

that's the rights of it; and ether

But the prophecy was fulfilled
even before it was concluded. A
group of loudly chattering girls and
their escorts of the moment bore
down upon Julia and broke the tete-
a-t9te to finders. Dislodged from
Julia's side by large and eager

in, was actually physical and proved

was the waxed floor; so was Julia,
my dear; so was the music, the
weather and the din they made
New-York tribune., 1920-12-05

COMETIMES, as he stood against
= the wall, there would be whir,ed
to him out Of all the commingle-
ments of other scents, a faint, quick
breath Of helotrope, swirling on the
air, and then Julia would be borne
masterfully by, her flying skirts just
touching him. And sometimes, out
of tho motley Of al other sounds.
there would reach his ear a little
laugh like run of lightly plucked
harp strings. and he would sec her
shining dark hair above her part
ner's shoulder as they swept again
near him for an instant. And at all
times, though she herself might be
concealed from him. he could only
too painfully mark where she
danced; the ovortopping head Of the
tall Clairdyce was never lost to view.
The face on the front part Of that
Gisliked head wore continuously a
confident smile which bad q bad ef
feet on Noble. 1t seemed to him
desecration that a man with SO gross
a smile should be allowed to dance
with Julia. And that she should
smile back at her partner. and with
such terrible kindness as Noble
twice saw her smile, unmistakablv-
this was like calamity happening
to her white soul. without hen. know
ing it. If she should ever marry
that maxwell, it would BE the old
story-Nay and December, Noble

sound His face became so strained
that several people Who had paused
rear him to take breath found il
more interesting to watch him than
to dance aeain
When the music stopped he ca
romed hastily through the room
toward Julia, but she was in .

rived, and for several moments Mr.
Clairdyce's broad back kept inter

seemed When Noble tried to place
himself in a position to attract
Julia's attention this back moved
too, and Mobiles nose but pressed
