the table at Dulcie's right. He
was inwardly burning with excite

her glass to his lips and with her

He watched a man who sat al

the man Helena had loved.
Then David noticed that Barry
Dunno, after a first glance, kept
his face averted. This added to his
fevered unrest. 1t seemed that the
man knew of his interest and feared
it. The fellow had a suffering look
in his eyes.
The conversation went f1tfully.
Glasses cljnked. Some of the very
young girls became flushed and
laughed at the slightest comment.
Gladys Ross twined her arm in her
partners. Her cheeks were brightly

comments became more and more
personal. Others added to them.
"Oh, Alice Payton getting a
