 Dance" Clarice insisted. She clasped a bar. arm about his neck.
 Brynmor danced. He stayed an hour, and hour and a half.
 Mary Lou waited and waited. l. seemed as if Brynmor never would come. She explored Jays flat, paced the floor. What could be keeping him?
 She tried on her newest dress, a Frinwood, where she lived, but somehow there was too much of a suggestion of home made" about i. for London.
 Finally Brylmor arrived, profuse with apologies. Immediately ne rushed her to his club for some thing to eat before the theater. He sent a porter to get seats for "any old show then discovered that both of them had seen Peter Pan" before.
 Brynmor's moody silence didn't add to Mary Lou's peace of mind Tn the theater. He wondered how he could endure two weeks of it. she vas on the verge of tears.
 Her spirits revived somewhat when Brynmor proposed that they dance after the show.
 T think we'll go to the Emerald Dragon he said. It's as amusing as any of the clubs. know a girl who dances there. :"
 The tone of his remark was not sufficiently casual. and Mary Lou began to suspect. . Half an hour later, when they had arrived at the Emerald Dragon and she had seen Brynmor's glance at Clarice, sine no longer suspected. She knew.
 After Clarice's dancing act, Bryn- nor abruptly excused himself
 Must have a word with her." he said hastily. I'll be back in jiffy." But half an hour passed and he didn't return.
 It might have ended there. Mary Lou might have gone back to Erin wood, sadder and wiser girl but for Antony Oswald Titherington, Tony for short.
 Promptly at midnight Tony and Reggie Addison sauntered joyfuIly into the Emerald Dragon.
 T hear this band playing half The night" Tony remarked. My flats in the next building. We might drop in there later for an- other drink"
 "Righto," countered Reggie.
 Will you gentlemen be taking champagne? a waiter inquired as they sat down at a side table.

 Passing Reggie. he winked at him broadly At once he was sorry, for the girl in his arms was a nice little thing. Trustful, he felt, and naive. Obviously she was not It home in a night club.
 T should like you to meet my aunt" he remarked. He wondered whether she would laugh at him. Any other girl would have.
 I'd like to-" Mary Lou said sin cerely. 'Is she here tonight?"
 Tony nearly collapsed. Aunt Ethelberta, the old puritan head of the Titherington family and con- troller of the exchequer, here. If she ever suspected he went to such place, she never would finance his proposed flight.
 "Er-not tonight" he murmured.
 They danced in silence Then Tony hazardad, 'Is your father q parson:"
 No, why?"
 Just thought he might be-" Tony naumbled
 Hes a doctor" Mary Lou told him. We live in Devon"
 Jolly climate" said Tony.
 Between dances Mary Lou found herself studying her new acquaint- ance. He was good-looking, if not handsome, taller than Brynmor, with brown hair, mischievous blue eyes and a cleft in his chin. His mouth was attractive, lopsided, understanding. Somehow she liked him.
 What about a glass of cham pagne?" he suggested.
 Mary Lou accepted. She wanted to taste champagne.
 Tony led her to his table and in troduced her to Reggie Addison. What is your name, my dear?"

 'Who brought you here?"
 Mary Lou flushed. "A friend of mine,". she said. "Brynmor Whitta- more. He-he had to go out for

New Britain herald., 1930-07-08

"Oh. no," quickly. He left to see a friend"
 Mary Lou slipped at the cham pagne and liked it. It helped her to forget the bitter disappointment Of Brynmor. When Tony suggested dancing again, she accepted readily They scarcely had started when a button burst off one of her slippers and she couldn't continue.
 Tony suggested the cloak-room woman might be able to sew it on. Or her way 10 the cloak. room. she passed half-opened door that led to Clarice's dressing From t she heard Brynmor's voice. "Of course, Mary's Lou's all right in her way" he was saying A nice enough girl - too darn nice There's no excitement to her Frankly, she bores ne stiff"
 Mary Lou swayed a little, and her face turned pale. She shut her eyes so the tears wouldn't come.
 Mice am I?' she whispered, as she tugged off herIsliprer in the cloak-room. I'll show him just how nice I can be-"
 When she returned to the dance floor, Tony said accusingly. You've been crying-why?
 q haven't" Mary Lou retorted.
 "All right, you haven't" sail Tony. Yet he knew she had. What was her escort doing, anyway. to leave her alone for so long?
 Before the dance was over, Brya- nor had returned to their tabls.
 Is that your partner?" Tony in- quired.
 Mary Lou nodded.
 By all appearances" murmured Tony, he doesn't seem to be tax ing kindly to me. Had you better go back to him?"
 Let him wait" said the new Mary Lou. She threw back her head with a gesture of independ- ence.
 It annoyed Brynmor to return and find Mary Lou dancing with q stranger, apparently indifferent to his absence.
 Hello, Brynmor" Mary Lou greeted him at the end of the dance. 50 you did get back?'
