WhIe their escorts were in the tea

mad stood attentively around the
walls intrigued with the elaborate
ceremonies being performed. To LEND
variety to the event, they had been
asked to bedeck themselves in fancy
array and now as they moved over
the hOcr to a wentieth century tune
the scene was one of kaleidosconic
delight. Here were Sicilian maidens-

IN bouffant satin and powdered Golf
lures piled high on their shapelv

glory, whirled by and proud Cas-
lillian bellies with mantillas of COSTLY
black lace.
Everyone was sweet and cordial to
me as if they had long ago grown
tired OF trying to make gossip about
anyone who had been as uninterest-
lngly orthodox in their behavior as I
had been during the last few months.
Besides, as far as scandal went. to-
night Anne occupied the center Of the
stage.
She seemed to be everywhere and
for the first time in her life was
wearing black. With Anne's clever
ness fer effect, one would have
thought that tonight of all times, she
would have chosen a sweet and
simple costume, like her frocks,
which always gave one the impress
sion that she was the fresh and in
Gocent type. But, no it was a new
Anne who came to this dance-a
daring Anne who wore the most
spOrtive costume of all the gala
throng. l heard someone ask her
what she was supposed to represent.
"A good time, for a change" she
said and threw back her head.
Indeed, she might have been de-
scribed as Vice. A brief frock of
black satin came just above her
knees. From her waist line were in
Vulnerable ribbons of red that flut-
tered as she moved. From these fell
miniature cards, cigarettes and tiny
bottles of liquor that had probably
been used as samples in the days of
saloons. On her head, poised at a
rakish angle, was a "put and take"
top with each of it's sides cleverly
marked. Her browning achievement,
however, was a pair of square ear
rings made of enormous dice. In
some way, they had been made cleo
trical and twinkled internationally
with light. Slippers of black satin
with heels Of brillian red, and chiffon
hose completed her conspicuous at
tire.
More than ever, I had the present
iment that within the next few hours
many startling things would come
about.
