Ted broke on u.s.
When Ted and l had danced half

Curtis Wright the Gentleman

"J'ever see herr" asked Curtiss
Wright laconically, when we had
climbed the steep slopes of the sand
duies and had settled ourselves snug
ly.
"Whom?" he was sitting beside me
while | stretched my full length in tn
soft sand that sparkled with the hard
glitter of diamonds

'Wanna?" / hurried to get to the
point and | tried to remember. all the
preliminaries just as Ted had first
shown her to me at the Country Club
that evening.
Il can not say that am overly anx-
ious to go searching for some vague
and ethereal creature" he responded,
moreover, my eyes seem loath to
leave the lady in the present land
scape. Je suis content, my Romany
maiden" he laughingly added.
None of the boys in our crowd
talked in words of more than one syl-
liable and it fascinated me to hear his
French phrases, which he used so
naturally that even a person with
smattering of the language could COM
prehend their meaning thought his
conversation was not unlike the
French phrases, clothing. as he did,
the most platitudinous compliments
in charm and majesty. His vocabulary
too, was compelling.
pondered his last pretty tribute
and turned my head to look at him
while he made playhouses and let the
sand run through his fingers He was
undeniably handsome and his body
graceful, with that indefinable some
thing about it that suggests agility
and a splendid fitness to meet any
emergency. Reserve strength was
there too, and yet, had an idea that
in love, he might be as gentle as {,
woman.

voices of the swimmers had been lost
