And Mocha Williams!
Mocha was struggling desperately to
find happiness in single ~blessedness.
But his beatitude wa infected with
bitter memory of the two hundred and
ninety-five dollars he had paid on the
diamond pin which was now lost
somewhere in the streets of Birming-
ham.
He danced languidly and without in
terest. He eyed all women with dis
taste. He considered himself a con-
firmed ~misogynist. But about zen
thirty something caught his eye: a
.glittering, cleaning, scintillating some
thing which struck a chord OF memory.
He waited until the end of the dance
and then presented himself before Miss
Canary Gaunt.
Who you dancin' the next II with.
Canary?"
She smiled demurely. You"
Hot DAM Amt you tootin'?"
The music commenced. Canary slid
into Mocha's arms and they hoped
away over the polished floor. Mr.. Will
liams, using excellent strategy, APP
preached the subject casually.

Canary"
oh! hush yo' mouf. Big Boy"
Use serious. You is the best look
in'est gal in this whole ball room"
She gazed into Mocha's eyes with
new interest. He was a good looking
chap; a man much more after her WI
heart than the insignificant little
shrimp to whom she was pledged.
Mocha looked down at her. "Tha's
a pretty pin you got on
Canary flushed with pride. "Ain't
it? It's a genuwine diamond"
Where at did you get it?"
She frowned then smiled
brightly. MY ramsay gimme it."
Who hep"
She jerked her head toward a corner
of the where the Wistful figure
of Frantic was almost concealed be-
hind a small potted palm.
That lii half pint" she explained.
Great sufferin' tripel How come a
gorgeous gal like you to engage herself
to a runt like him?"
HE gimme this pin," she explained,
defensively. There's lots of fellers
woul'n't be so g%inerous as that
Mocha was thinking fast. The cov-
eted pin was near at hand. He was
staunchly determined to acquire it.
And there wasn't any installing which
pin it was.
Where did Frantic git that pin at?"
Mocha inquired.
Bought it," she explained with some
pride. "Fo' me-"
The music stopped abruptly on a
large blue note. Mocha bent his most
seductive glance On Canary.
rs you gWine femme see you again
some time, Miss Gaunt?"
"We-e-e-ell, Use an engaged lady
"Shuh! 'Tain't really bein' engaged
when the man is Frantic Marshall. .
She looked up at him coyly out of
the corners of her eyes.
"All right, Mistuh Williams"
He moved away, thinking heavily
And Canary Gaunt, utterly dazzled,
found little of interest in her fiance.
Canary had been impressed. What
a pity that Frantic wasn't more like
the large and positive Mocha. But
then she heaved a vast sigh. Reckon
a man couldn't have ev'ything; LOOKS
an size an diamonds, too. She saw
Frantic approaching and favored him
with a radiant smile which sent him
%scooting up to the very zenith of hap
