Ellen kenw that she should have
said the words he expected, but she
couldn't.

Tony might have been angry, but
he wasn't. Instead, his lips touched
Ellen's hair as they had during theil
first waltz together.
IT wish she were here, tonight
he said. II wish mine were here:
too. Well tell each other about ou1

1t was his sweetness that was SC

"I'll get may hat" she said. "No,
they'll not miss u.s."
Into the magic moment cut the
sound of James voice as cool and
frosted as the glass she held in her
hand.
"Your friend with the BEARD" she
said to Ellen, s'has been telling tales
out of school! He says you re the
best model in the city. He says your
legs will be a great loss to the pro-
fession, now that they're wearing a
ball and chain!"
Ellen wanted to sob, aloud. She
felt a flush rising up over her chin.
But she didn't sob-she said, in
stead
"I'm not SO sure that my legs
live up to the advertising. But I am
sure that they'll not be lost to art.
Tony has said hat he doesn't care
if l go on with my work."
"Of course" James voice held a
tinkle of laughter; it, too, was like
the tinkle of ice in the glass, IF

ragged the friends over to meet
Ter. Some shook her hand, some
made wisecracks. Some of them,
most of them, kissed her!
She met Tom. Tom had been an
All American halfback only the
year before. She met Herb-whose
face was SO familiar that she knew
that she had seen it in many a roto
section. She met the dark, chubby
young woman whom Herb intro
duced as his "wop wife" She met
Margie-as smart Of looks, but not
Of brain, as Claire. She met Harris
and Jim and Hilda. She met a score
of others. And then she met-Jane.
Jane was tall where Ellen was
short. She was long of hand and
foot, aristocratically long; whereas
|Ellen's hands and feet were child
like.
Jane wore a straight dress of
white satin, with long sleeves that
great pearl. And she had a little

and on one of her hands she wore a
white velvet jacket slung over her
arm. She looked like the bride
not Ellen. Ellen looked like a brides
kid sister.
Tony said, and there was only
the merest trace of elf-conscious-
ness in his voice.
This is my wife, Jane. This is
Ellen"
And Ellen found that she was
baking hands with Jane. James hand
was very cold as it touched her
own, but not so cold as James voice.
"She's very pretty" said Jane,
and Ellen might have been J child
whom she was discussing, Every
pretty. But I wouldn't have ex-
pected you to fall for the type,
Tony!"
Gay had edged close. Gay had de-
serted Sandy, had already annexed
Tom, the ex-halfback. She seemed
ever more diminutive than ever
against his bulk.
Sure she's pretty" agreed Gay,
rudely. Som I. So are you. And
we all talk, too, and eat, and not
one of us is deaf and dumb"

tourist who demanded:
"Where does Congress meet?"
Mrs. Taylor, who was stand

"The House meets in the

Senate meets in the north end"
The woman announced:
"T don't care about that. 1

Mrs. Taylor advised:
"That is what I'm telling you.
The House Of Representatives
meets in the south end Of the
building; the Senate meets in

Said the woman, Indignantly:
"Oh, I don't care about poll

Authors Burden

Pendleton Hogan, author Of
the Bishop of Havana" is
somewhat embarrassed because
of a night club experience.
Pendleton and a young girl
were at one Of the towns
night clubs taking a look at
the after-darkers.
At the next table sat four
University Of Virginia students,
who began a detailed discus
sion Of Pendleton's book.
They dissected, discussed,
lauded and cussed the Bishop
of Havana" not knowing the
author could hear the con-
versation and gradually was
becoming more and more per-
turbed.
Finally, the girl stood up
and announced in very audible
tones:
Now, Mister PendletOn
Hogan, it is time to go hOme!"
The boys wilted.
