SUDDENLY HE DREW HER TO HIM

settled then, the best thing to
do was to follow the first i'm
pulse. And usually It was settled
then.
In the morning she went to the
office in the same confused mood,
and so far from having reached
any decision. she was still trou-
bled tremendously by the offer
itself.
But working in the cool, clear
day, with cool. clear brain, she
was able to look more dispassion-
ately on the scene of yesterday
afternoon, when, with the aid Of
two cocktails and an insinuating
atmosphere, she had been able
to escape completely from the
workaday world,
What Ernest Brooks proposed
was impossible. Impossible be-
cause she didn't really love him.
That was the final word, the
true understanding. 1t was
Ernest Brooks that troubled her,
not his offer. Ann thought she
was a child, did she? All, if she
could only imagine her now, rea-
soning calmly, lucidly!
No. she didn't really love Ernest
Brooks, she was just fascinated
by him, and that was different
thing. Because you could always
resist mere fascination - when
you were in your right senses.
She decided to write him let.
ter, a clever letter that would
atartle him. make him realize
what he had lost. But when she
had put q sheet Of paper in her
/. machine, the clever phrases
wouldn't come. She stuck on
doggedly to the end. however,
read what she had written, and
tore it up in detection.
1t wasn't going away with
him and marrying him after.
ward that bothered her, she de-
cided, it was just marrying him
at all. living with him at all,
that was so unsatiSfying.
He wasn't the kind Of man
she wanted to marry really The
kind of man she wanted to marry
was a man who = but
she couldn't decide Just what
kind of man that was.

st was going to say that with

ruin one Of the finest spirits I've
ever met"
His eyes found hers in level
look. She resented the slur
against Ann. but even more than
that, she was pleased by his COM
pliment in spite of its vagueness.
One of the best things about
Ernest Brooks was the interest.
ing quality of his compliments.
The next moment the Jap came
in with team cocktail shaker.
CHAPTER IA
George was sitting very still
NOW. in a chair on the models
stand. Squirting his eyes, at
considerable distance from her,
Ernest Brooks was sketching
her.
To be sketched by a real artist
that was an exeprience-she
felt almost like celebrity.
And she had drunk, little
hesitatingly. two cocktails that
made her feel that life was a
charming and rather wonderful
thing, and she was charming
and rather wonderful person.
She sat very still, listening to
him, while he flung out frag.
ments of talk. She did not un.
derstand good many of the things
he said, and supposed them very
profound.

And when he spoke that way.
she wondered if he even liked
her. He kept her wondering-it
was one of his destinations, per-
haps the most important Of
them, that she was never very
sure of anything about him. Now
Ann would have been different.
She would have been clear from
the start, would have had de-
cided opinions, and held to them.
But then, George concluded,
everyone couldn't be Ann. Besides
Ann was Observation-Disclosures,

Lack of tennis club in the District
this year has made it impossible to
stage the annual District champion
ships in full as has been done in the
past. No womens events will be in.
cluded on the card when the mems
singles and doubles get under way
on July 2.
Tt is not the intention Of the com
mittee, however, to drop the women 3
events entirely this season. Plans are
under way to hold them later on. II
1t is possible to carry through the
scheme on which tennis officials now
are working they will have the most
ambitious entry list in the history of
local tennis,
Efforts are being made to have the
District tournament developed into
broad sectional event, with the top
players of this section competing for
the women'S crowns. as they already
are doing in the mems events. Last
season a step in this direction was
taken when Eleanor COttman and
Heloise Beebe, Baltimore's best at the
time, came over to Washington. Miss
Cottman ranked in the Middle At
lantic States and Miss Beebe 4, with
our own racketer, Frances Krucoff, 3.
1t remains only to bring Penelope
Anderson down here to make this a
representative sectional tournament
for women.
Washington is in difficult position
in regard 10 entertaining out-of-town
players just at present. because OF
the lack of club or ether adequate
facilities for entertainment. When
our players journey to the other
major sectional events in Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia, they are
accorded such cordial receptions that
they feel, with double keeness, the
lack of facilities for returning the hos.
pitality in like manner. 1t Is hoped
that the day will not be far distant
when q plan will be hit upon for de-
veloping a new tennis club to replace
the historic Dumbarton estate.
Playing in fast company is choos-
ing the open road to progress. Realiz-
ing this, and taking into considera-
ton the fact that the majority of
local fair racketers are prevented
from seeking that company on for
eign courts because of business and
financial considerations, the tennis
committee of the District Is going to
make determined effort to bring
1.-The mountain to Mohammed' that
is, to attract some fast talent to our
local events.
Both Miss Anderson and Miss Beebe
