by the doorway between the two rooms and gave somewhat un- ineligible assent.
 You see," May went on, twirl- ing bedroom slipper on the tip of her toe, ''he has no one but himself to rely upon. He hasn't a father who's q bank director. or an uncle in business, like all these Bobbys and Dr Kleins and the rest of them. He Is poor: there's some- thing out of the ordinary. Have you danced with him? Don't you think he dances. marvelously?"
 "Divinely. 1 should think ne could have made lots of money as a professional. Why does he bother to teach clumsy girls and fat wo- men to swim 2" Carla asked, sitting on the edge of Mays bed.
 But how absurd! A profession al dancer is nobody. What an idea! A professional dancer!"
 And is a swimming instructor anybody?" asked Carla spitefully.
 "In my eyes, yes. It's a sport, at least. And if the Austria Swimming Club has no objection to make" But hasn't it? That's just the question:"
 well, he's swimming for them in Berlin on the fourth of Septem- Der = the fifteen hundred meters, so there. Don't try and fuss me, Carla, please"
 T fuss you! said Carla indignant ly. She got up and went to the balcony. The lake lay dark and still below. T fuss you? I've been play ing goose for you the whole even- ing so that you and he could do what you liked, and now you say l fuss you. You disappear for hours together while I have to function as May and next as Carla to pre- vent Fats noticing anything"
 Let him notice what he likes." May said heatedly.
 You wait. He'll notice all right, and then there'll be a pretty kettle of fish. You know what Tat's like when he gets inoi a temper"
 Why should he? Tat ought to congratulate himself on my good taste. Tat began in small way himself in his time, and he Is al- ways preaching about capacity ana standing on ones own feet. But now he's putting on airs since this Count Czereny has taken him up. T wonder If 1t is the count or the countess? I notice there Is never room for us in the car since he be- gan taking the count and countess about, But in any casee as you're not going to marry the swimming instructor, what does 1t matter to Tat whether he's rich or poor?" "Indeed l am going to marry him." said May, and she nodded her head in confirmation. "Oi course am going to marry him. Can you suggest anyone better? | When he comes along in his shabby | suit and his cheap shoes he looks

 the works if they want a capable
 man. l shall be earning something too, when do all the English cor respondence for Tat. A big estab- Iishment is quite out of place now l adays. Five rooms are all we shall want. Then if we had q small car | and a boat on the Wannsee. should be perfectly content. don't
 mind if we arevery poor"
 But is he a capable man, Navy
 "Yes, I think so. He is always

 made. He hasn't told me what 1t is

 | Carla stroked the cool bedclothef refiectively. and her eyes darkened
 "Yes. that's that" she said. You ,arry him. and I am left with Bob-
