Six at a table.
At the moment of the trio's en-
trance, a woman was singing to the
air of the orchestra, while out on
the floor two dancers, a man and q
woman, or girl, were gyrating
through the mazes Of some new-fan-
gled apache dance.
Ii was the singularity of the cos

but because OF their amazing, star

Of strength performed by this slen-

yet the girl tossed hlm in the air,

he were a child of six.

Professor lie Tarte, in response TO
Jill outburst of admiration. ITS

Jill flashed him n contemptuous
look, modified by pity.
"Uur dance doesn't come even
with speaking distance Of this!'
she knew was her due but she was
perfectly willing to lake the credit
table close to the dance floor, a po-
too much Of an artist herself not to
realize the wide gulf that lay be-
tween this girls artistry n her
own.
They had been escorted, almost i'm
m~ediately upon their arrival, to Q
table close to the dane efioor, a po-
sition that enabled Jill to get an e.
cellent view, not only Of the dancers
but Of guests at tables, as well.
Suddenly her heart seemed almost
TO cease beating. She was looking
straight into the eyes Of Nita Ra'
velle. At the same table, his back
and the side Of his head visible 10
