Lee Is snit with darling Kit,
And Kit likes me.
I'm q hardened sinner,
I've a crush on Nell.

Alan Steyne. young painter. who Is
also loved by Judith's roommate,
Chummy Morley. Chummy had
loved Steyne years ago and lost
her memory when he went away;
SO. though Steyne loves Judith, Jul
dith insists that 1t Is his duty to
marry Chummy. who does not know
Of their love. Judith is studying
dancing , and Bruce Gideon, finan-
cier, who Is infatuated with her,
offers to star her In a musical show.
Steyne Is distrustful Of Gideon's
intentions. but Judith will not be

friends at a studio party, and In a
lull in the festivities finds herself
standing beside Steyne at a win

I've got to dance-I SIMPLY must.
You've no idea what it's like"
1T drives me madl" he went on.
1T will drive other men mad!"
His voice was reckless. Judy held
her breath as Chummy and Hylton
passed close to them.
You mustn't talk like that" she
said when they had gone by. You
must be crazy Come and dance at
once and behave like other people"
He obeyed her, but the hands that
held her might have been made Of
wood. He dared not realize that
she was close TO him, keeping step
with him. a light, gosSamer thing OF
perfect skill and grace. He stumbled
heavily in his anguish and she re-
leased herself.
"Clumsyl" she laughed. Il am
parched. For mercy's sake, get me
something TO drink"
There was more dancing and they
ate the sandwiches and cakes, and
drank lemonade, or vermouth, or
cold broth.
Then Tony and Michael begged
Judy to dance again.
I'm dog tired" she said; but
I don't mind If IL pleases you chill
dren."
The two artists were overcome
with amazement. truth 10 tell. They
could hardly believe that this was
the Judy they had known for years.
They had never appreciated her
charm, although they had admired
her steadfast care Of poor Chummy;
but this-this featherlight embodi-
ment Of sheer art, this fiery. Sc
ductive, languid. gay. irresistible
creature-they felt that their eyes
must be deceiving them. They were
eager for her to dance again, so
that they might make sure.
But Just then the telephone bell
rang out in the little lobby. Alan
went out and came back quickly.
You're wanted. Miss Grant. ne
said. Often in addressing her he
used the formal name
she went out, and Alan shut the
door. so that whatever cOnyerSa-

Durnont about his music.
Judy was away q long tirne-or
so it seemed. They all talked to-

lull. prolonged cut Of nervousness.
In it there was no sound OF Judy's
