 He looked around, as though seeking an inspiration; he switched on the radio and tuned in on dance music and came toward her, hold- ing out his arms. Here" he in. vited. Let's celebrate all by our- selvesl" She rose to meet him; and as they circled the room he kicked the rugs out of the way. Suddenly he laughed. She looked up at him inquiringly; and he ex- plained:
 T just realized that I've never danced with you before. I've missed something. You're great!"
 She was happy in his arms. There was Q bright intoxication in him born not alone of the liquor he had drunk, and Kay wished to respond to 1t, to be as gay as he. But c curious reticence possessed her, held her in restraint. She was like 0 person in bonds. Even in the embrace of the dance she was somehow iinpersonal, detached they moved not as one person but as two, yet moved in unison and smoothly for all that. He was full of laughter: of quick words; his arm was firm about her waist. But Rays small body close to his might have been across the room away.
 They stopped at last, and he was panting with his own exertions. "i'm winded," he confessed. "Out of conditionl need the exercise, Kay. We'll have to dance more, now that I've discovered youl I've been working pretty hard. It's time I let down c little. don't you think?"
 You've stuck pretty close to your knitting, certainly" she agreed. But of course where you have so many night calls ."
 "I'll dump them on Chandler" he declared. "It's time the youngster took hold. He can do the routine stuff as well as ." And he stretched his arms wide. Gosh, I'm sleepy, all of Q sudden!" he said.

 Priscilla was vivacious, full of words. T just had to drop in on you, Kay" she confessed. T know this is not the time of day to call on anyone; but was 50 thrilled about last night, about Bob, and so proud of him, and wanted to tell you so.

 Kay said steadily: "of course, ell Bob's friends must be ."
 Y felt almost as though I had e share in it." Priscilla explained. She laughed with Q mischievous amusement. "When they called him, he was worried, because he'd had cocktail, so gave him some coffee grounds to kill the odor on his breath, and drove him to the hospital, and he opened the wind shield and breathed deeply all the way there, till he was really per- fectly sober. I wanted to go in and see 1t, myself: but he wouldn't let me do that. So I waited out side till he finished; and Kay, l really prayed.

 Kay nodded, T know" she agreed, laughing a little. T think 1t was good for him, though! He was so strung up: needed to relax. When he came home we danced for an hour, just the two of us.

We behaved like a couple of kids. suppose" k "It's wonderful, isn't it," Priscilla assented. "Why, Bob was almost like his old self again. So light hearted, and so much fun"
 Kay seemed fairly bubbling with amusement, "I laughed till I cried" she declared, and she went on in swift invention: "He insisted on clearing of the living-room table and going through the whole thing, with dummy made out of cush- ions off the couch so that I could applaud every single step . ." And she said. T gave the ether, and handed him his instruments fountain pens and table knives and the paper cutter, and shoe tree. It was 6 circus!

Controllers UNIT |
HERE IS Projected
Preliminary Meeting Held by
Local Members of Ma.
tionaI Body.

Organization of q Washington
branch Of the Controllers Institute of
America is being arranged after pre-
liminary meeting here Thursday Of
local members of the national body.
The local organization work is being
carried on by committee headed by
]. Harold Smith, chairman, and COM
posed of William H. Brown, controller
OF Remington Rand, Inc; Harold G.
Hayden, controller, Potomac Electric
Power Co., and william r. Little, con-
troller, The Evening Star News
paper Co.
Another meeting OF the local con-
trollers will be held January 81 to
consider the establishment of local
branch to be known as the Washing
ton Control. Arthur r. Tucker Of New
York, managing director of the ma
Eonal institute, was present at Thurs
days meeting. h..
Members in Maryland have been in
vited to join the Washington Control
until such time as their own member
Maryland Control Chairman Smith
announced.
The Controllers Institute of Amer
lea, 1t was explained, Is a technical
professional organization of the con-
trollers OF business. There are more
than TOO members throughout the
United States. Membership is re-
stricted to controllers or those per-
forming the functions of and having
the responsibility of controllers, though
they do not have the title. There also
Is an associate membership available
to educators or corporate officials of
rank equal to or higher than that Of
controller. Members Of the public ac-
counting profession, however, are not
eligible.
Because there are few large indus
trial or commercial companies in
washington, Mr.. Smith explained,
there will never be large membership
In the Washington Control. The local
control, however, he explained, will be
one of importance because it will be
IN a position to act as naison organ
ization between the various govern
mental organizations and the national
offices of the Controllers Institute.
Heretofore. he said, the national Office
has been represented from time to time
before the Government organizations
through special committees sent to
Washington to handle specific matters
Of interest to controllers.
The institute has IL regular COM
mittees engaged in the study of spe-
cial problems of the controller, such
as education. taxation, social security
legislation and general legislation. One
OF the most active groups of the ma
tional organization is the Research
Council.

MORE DEMOCRATS
SEEN IN KEYPOSTS
Majority Party Expected to
Increase Members on
Senate Committees.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Senate Democrats will increase their
ratio of membership on important
committees at the coming session, to
conform more closely TO the size OF
their increased majority on the fioor
Of the Senate as q result Of this years
election, according to reliable reports
on Capitol Hill.
While the question will not be set
tied until party leaders gather after
the Christmas holidays, indications
are this course viii be followed.
At the last session, when the SEN
publicans, Farmer-Laborites and !
Progressive, here are how some OF the
main committees stood. the higher
figure denoting the representation Of
the Democrats:
Agriculture, IS to 6: Appropriations,
16 to 8: Judiciary, IS to 5: Banking
and Currency, II to 8; Commerce,
II to 6; Finance, Is to 6; Foreign
Relations, 16 to 7; Interstate Com
merce, II to 6; Military affairs, IL
to 5, and Naval Affairs, IL to S.
The November election left the
Senate standing at rs Democrats, II
Republicans, 2 Farmer-Laborites,
Progressive and / Independent. On
some OF the major committees the
ratio of party membership could be
changed by not filling minority vacan-
cies caused by the defeat Of Republi-
can Senators in the election and add
ing one or two new Democrats. On
Appropriations, for example, three of
the eight minority members were de-
feated. and on Finance, four of the
six minority places are vacant.
In some Of the other principal COM
mittees, however, the Republican
membership was not affected by the
election, and in those cases chang
ing the ratio Is not as simple a mat
ter, unless 1t should be decided to
enlarge the size of these committees
by appointing additional members on
the Democratic side. If 1t should be
decided not to make the committees
larger In total membership, changing
the ratio would mean giving some Of
the minority members fewer commit
tee assignments.
After the size and ratio Of party
membership on the various commit
tees Is determined, leaders then will
face the task Of selecting the par
ticular committees on which the new
Senators will serve.
These problems Of committee organ
ization will be settled within a few
days after the session starts, so that
consideration of important bills can
be started soon after the measures are
introduced.
