moved smoothly down the room

Gay had had enough French in
high school to realize that he was

"Jeunes files, and she smiled a
little.

the young man continued, lazily.

just up from the south where men
are men, and all the girls are sun
tanned. Are there many more
like you in Syracuse ?"
Gay made no answer. When you
weren't sure what to say, silence
was golden. She knew that much.
And this self-assured, handsome
boy was a new type in her limited
experience. Even his way of dane
ing was strange; the trick he had
of holding her off every few steps
and looking at her from head to
feet with unconcealed admiration.
Gay concentrated on keeping in
step-her eyes remote, her face
unchanging in it's grave express
sion.
She was aware, too, that they
were being looked at by the other
guests. No one else was dancing
now. For the moment, they were
the center of attention. The
knowledge made her stiffen with
self-consciousness.
Am I being too familiar? Pray
pardon me"
The young mans eyes glinted
with indolent mockery. He held
her off again, then deftly brought
her body close to his. Honey,
you're a dancer. I've tried three
times to get you out Of step, just
to ruffie that Junior league air of
yours, and 1t can't be done. Not

Gay lifted her eyes, briefly, to
his. mot bad at ALL"

CHAPTER 3


A VERY few times in her life
Gay Elwell had been to the the
ater. q Even better than the play
she had loved that breathleSs mo-
ment before the curtain goes up
when a sigh of expectation moves
through the audience, and then
swiftly, inevitably, the curtain
rises on the opening scene.
The same thrill of anticipation
made her draw a sharp breath as
she stood, pausing for an instant
at Doctor Wilson's side, in the
doorway of the private dining
room.
Brilliance. Color. A blur of
dazzling light and movement. The
glitter of silver and crystal on the
long table. Women, glowing and
sparkling with jewels. Men in the
somber black and white Of conven-
tional dinner clothes.
There were only ~ people in the
room, but it seemed many more to
Gay. Several couples were dane
ing to the music of the orchestra
which could be heard from the
main dining room across the hall.
Walters were pouring drinks from
frosted cocktail shakers. into tiny
glasses. A tall woman in red gold
lame was adjusting flowers along
the table.
For an instant it was all a haze.
Gay felt her knees shaking be-
meath her with nervous excitement.
Then, like flash, the fear passed.
She was ready for whatever might
happen.
There you are!"
The tall, dark woman in the gold
gown was the first to observe
them. She came forward, smiling.
Hello, darling. So you found
someone at last! I don't believe
I've met"
Gay managed shy smile, while
Doctor Wilson made the necessary
introductions. This is little Miss
Smith, Marian. From Syracuse.
l ran into her downstairs, when
I'd about given up hope Of finding
anyone. Miss Smith, this is my
wife,"
Mrs. Wilson said graciously,
"Too sweet Of you to help us out,
Miss Smith. I hope you won't be
bored. Take her things, JOHNNY"
She swung about. Look, every
body. Johnny's succeeded in his
errand!"
Gay stood her ground, secretly
amazed and excited, but outwardlv
serene, while storm of greetings
surged noisily about her.
Are you a picker. Johnny Will
son! And how"
Come on, somebody. Help open
the champagne, and give the
young lady drink. We're wav
ahead Of herw
Then, from among all the banter
or the men, and the shrill chatter
OF the women, came one voice she
knew.
II didn't expect to see you again
so soon."
Gay turned. 1t was the bronzed
young man who had offered her a
tip, earlier in the evening.
Il didn't expect to be here" she
whispered hastily. please don't
tell anyone who I amp
Doctor Wilson, meanwhile. was
trying to make himself heard
above the confusion.
Silence" he shouted. "For
Pete's sake, be quiet, everybody. I
want to introduce little Miss
Smith, from Syracuse, who has
kindly consented to join this rowdy
party. Miss Smith, this is the
gang. Gang, meet Miss Smith"
He added to Gay, my dear. Pm
IN extreme need Of another high
ball, so I'll leave you in the capable
hands Of my wife. She'll tell YOU
who everybody is"
But before Mrs. Wilson could
speak, a drawing voice inter-
rupted:
why all this formality? Let's
dance, first"
With cool insclence, an incredi-
bly, good-looking, fair-haired Young
man slid his arm around GAYS
waist.
