CHAPTER 48


Tony" Johnson's night-cluo
was no different from the others
Raquel had visited in Mont
martre-except that it was more
so. Things zoomed along at a
faster tempo. It was more
feverish.
The small dance floor had
been encroached on by the ser
vice department until only a
tiny square remained free Of
tables. In this square men and
women from all strata of life
in every cline danced without
seeming to move out Of their
tracks.
Darling in and out among
them was Tony" herself, her
back and shoulders a cleaning
sheen Of copper under the dim
lights. Her bodice, if so slight
an attempt at the conventions
could be dignified that term,
was of gold Sequins. Her full
tulle skirt of a. ballet-dancer
was the exact bronze shade of
her skin. Her black hair was
parted, plaStered to her head,
and brought out over her cheeks
in long ''hooks" after the style
of bold Carmen.
I'm minute she'll hop up on
a chandelier and begin tossing
cocoanuts," Greta predicted.
Another table was whiSked
out from somewhere and placed
on the already cramped floor.
Bertie and Ginger were known
in Tony's.
They tried to dance. It was
impossible. Raquel gave it up.
The. close pressure Of other
dancers sickened her. Greedy
eyes. Stale tobacco. Strong
drink.
They watched the fun. Now
"Tony" was darting among the
tables, greeting patrons, pass
ing out handfuls Of small
spheres that looked like snow
balls from a great basket. A
waiter followed with miniature
papier mache tennis rackets.
Guests began batting the
"snowballs" back and forth in
the crowd.
Soon Raquel noticed that a
man at table directly to her
left had singled her out as a
mark and was hitting her with
unfailing regularity. She saw,
too, that the woman with him
was no admirer of his skill. The
woman sought to divert him.
Failing, she showed pique. Then
temper. He ignored both.
The man, RaQuel could tell,
was French. So was the woman.
She frowned. turned her
shoulder with a gesture of dis
pleasure. The unerring aim was
now directed at the point of her
shoulder.
She hoped BERTHE and Ginger
would not notice the mans
persistence. The "snowballs"
were playing a steady tattoo.
She turned. gave the man the
full benefit of her stormy
black eyes. He smiled at her.

said in a voice that could be

The next moment her amuse-
ment changed to concern.
BERTHE has risen, thrown back his
chair with a force that sent it
hurtling across the dance floor.

moment BERTHE lowered above

very much, but something wor-

tractive and many girls are fond
of him. This makes him con-

and often has crowds laughing
at his jokes.
The other night at q gather

He challenged him to a fight

LONDON, Feb. ID QNSO-
Frances program for diSarma-
ment, as set forth in minute de
tail by Premier Andre Tardieu, to-
! day definitely blocked progress Of
the Five-Power Naval Conference.
While Frances submarine and
eight-inch gun cruiser figures in
particular are too high for Great
Britain to accept without Strenu-
Gus opposition, Premier Tardieu'S
alternative of mutual security
pact has aided in placing a formi-
dable stumbling block in the path
of the parley.

u. s. Participation Sought
While Premier Tardieu stressed
pact Of mutual guarantee and
security" among the naval powers,
it is believed he would accept
less definite treaty modelled along
the lines Of the pacific pact Of the
Washington conference on condi-
ton that the United States was
willing to participate.
While the United States is
definitely opposed to participation
in such a thoroughly European
agreement, IL it comes to a show
down and success or failure of the
conference hinges upon this pact,
it Is certain the American dele
gates would explore the possibility
of participation.
Such exploration would include
the Sou1 u1.ding out of senatorial
opinion on the possibility Of con.
greSsional ratification.
It is known that the American
delegates deplore Frances pointed
