CHAPTER xxx
The morning after the petting
party at Peggy's apartment Betty
awakened with n headache. She
lay long IN bed. debating the prob
lem Of the evening before. She
ertainly had not grabbed the party
She had taken every drink offered
her: once when dancing with Andy
she was quite dizzy.
She felt she had qualified as a
good fellow by dancing in Peg
gy's bathing suit. None Of them
seemed to think II out of the ordi-
nary. so she felt no uuaims at
wearing ii for the rest Of the eve
ming.
Andy and this group were all the
friends she had left, that
George had suggested that she stay
away from his restaurant until she
stopped dancing. She had not told
him there was little chance for her
TO dance again while Daubert op-
posed her.
She felt a certain pride in suf-
fering thus for Andy's sin. II was
the humiliation Of the black eye
Andy had given him which made
Daubert so bitter against her. She
Shuddered at what might have hap

did.

to work yourself TO death in order
to eat or eat yourself to death 70
use up the money for which you
worked. so she decided as she had
money enough to run her Tor an
other month, she would not worry.
She took her shower and. DON

the rOutines of Ter dances. but
She worked ~listlessly. She saw lit
tie hope of using them again. She
thought OF the possibility OF getting
work from Jack Parker. the Local
manager. but her pride would not
permit her to 60 back 10 him after
she had lost positions at both ths
Orpheum picture house and the
Iron Door night club.
AS she finished dressing. ready

who kept the rooming house called
hat someone wanted her on the
telephone.
How IS the worlds best dances
