But Tony had forgotten COM

babbling out amazingly sophis-
ticated advice and instructions.

matter in the world save that she
should know the name of that waltz.
Without thinking what she was
doing, she thumped the violin play
er>between the shoulder blades. He
was tuning his instrument, but he
stopped to ask Indignantly what
she thought she was doing.
What waltz were you playing?
What waltz we're you playing?"
Waltz Romantic Next time
look out who you punch"
Ellen laughed joyouSly and, with
disguised glance at her, he began
to pick at his strings again. A
moment later the lights went out
all except a round moon over the
orchestra.
AS the room filed with misty,
blush light and the piano began
to tinkle, the dancers crowded to
the floor. Ellen was wildly impa-
tient to be dancing.
What if Larry Smith were un-
able to find her? Had he noticed
that she had withdrawn? She
turned to see him coming toward
her through the blush dusk. AS
he drew near she thought that she
never had been SO happy in her
life.

CHAPTER SIX

r AIRY had bought string of
IL tickets, each marked good for
one dance" There were dozens. He
dropped the ribbon of bright green
over Ellen's bare arm SO that it
curled almost to the floor.
That's for all evening"" he told
her. mo one else is to dance with
you"
Il believe you've made mis-
take" Ellen said, trying to temper
the bubbling joyousness in her
voice. Il think they sold you rail-
road ticket to California"
"It does look like that"
Tony, gliding past, summed up
the incident with approving, inter-
ested eyes. The 17-year-old plainly
considered the older girl to be her
protege.
Il knew you'd be lucky, Ellen"
she called over her shoulder and
was gone.
Nov what did she mean?" Larry
demanded.
"She meant I was lucky to find
such a good-customer," Ellen adj
vised him demurely.
mo. It's the customer who's
lucky"
Their laughter rang out. Larry
swept Ellen into his arms and they
were caught into the emotion-laden
atmosphere of the room.
Boys and girls were dancing
closely in the semi darkness, cheek
to cheek, heart to heart. Light
frocks blurred against the darker
clothes of the men; white, bare
arms clutched at broad shoulders.
There was no sound except the
muted whine of the orchestra and
the swish of dancing feet, and,
from outside, through the open
windows, the subdued uproar of a
never resting Broadway.
Boys and girls, in the artificial
darkness, were snatching feverish-
ly at little moment of tawdry ro-
nance, lest it pass them by; snatch
ing at a moment of forgetfulness of
daily tasks while the saxophones
moaned.
Ellen and Larry bumped into a
couple who had stopped for a pas
sionate embrace. Ellen felt again
that she would weep. She did not
know quite why.
But she knew that if Larry Smith
attempted to embrace her in that
furtive darkness, something shin
ing and young and beautiful would
be gone forever. At the same time
she knew that if he drew her close,
close to him she could not resist.

TINE hostesses sat at empty
Il tables, one girl to a table, and
waited for men to ask them to
dance. Most of the girls had regu-
lar patrons.
Tonys instructions dealt in part
with methods for "cinching regu-
lars" These men would buy whole
string of tickets for the privilege OF
dancing with a particular girl for
an hour or so.
After each of the short dances
the fastest couples barely managed
three turns OF the room before the
orchestra stopped-the girl gravely
would detach one of the tickets from
the long string profered by her
escort.
Ellen took a table close to Tonys.
But Tony was gone almost immedi-
ately, away like a green flash in the
arms of tall youth.
She made a very ugly face over
her partners shoulder to indicate to
Ellen that she did not favor him.
Ellen sat alone for some time.
The music, once she became accus-
toned to its loudness, made her
want to dance.
She was surprised to observe that
for once in her life she was an I'M
deniable wallfower. The large ma
jority of the other tables were
evacuated quickly. Still no one
asked her to dance.
A great many of the men who
stood around the walls watching
the dancers or waiting their turn
with Sunny or Anise or Tony or
Maybelle glanced toward her, but
no one approached.
Ellen's very beauty and air of
cool aloofness inundated them. At
last a bold spirit sought out Salo-
mon and came over for an intro
duction.
AS she acknowledged the intro
duction, Ellen realized there were
worse things than sitting alone at
a table while others danced.
One of them was dancing with
Joseph K. Lands. He was clumsy.
He was crude. He held her so
tightly that she could hardly
breathe.
He pressed his damp face against
her cool cheek no matter how in
sistently she sought to avoid the
juxtaposition. And all the time he
babbled in her ear inane compli-
ments.
"Where've you been all my life,
little one? At home taking care of
the kids2 I thought so. A pretty
little thing like you should have
better fate.
Take me for instance-go right
ahead and take me. I'll see you
don't get trampled in the rush"
You're holding me too tightly"
she said furiously.
Naughty, naughty! You're not
supposed to talk. I can hold you
tighter than this. See."
He closed his arms around her,
moved his face forward and kissed
her squarely on the lips.
Ellen struggled free, slapped him
across the mouth and was off the
floor and back at her table before
Joseph K. Lands thoroughly under
stood what had happened.
Il
JACOB SALOMON was very an
~ CRY. He stood before Ellen'S
table, his feet wide apart, his arms
gesticulating, as he explained in de-
tail how angry he was.
81 don't care if he did try to kiss
you," he snapped. THAT was no
reason for seeking him.
You gotta treat patrons decent.

"one of the amusing bits of strategy of the republican party in this campaign has been the use of the slogan 're-elect Trumbull.' The inference is that there has been no governor of Connecticut since former Governor Trumbull left the Capitol" said Governor Cross in his statement.
 My answer to that is that there had been no governor in the state Capitol for sixteen years until the democratic marty succeeded in electing It's candidate for governor two years ago.
