', looked up into the narrow sardonic eyes of the man she had seen twice before. In the Paradise, and at the wedding.
 'How do you doP" Judy mur- mured.
 Charmed" said MT. Tennant, and his thin face smiled. But his eyes didn't smile.
 "All the naval regalia makes me feel just a bit effete," he said to Jack. You Navy boys are such virile blokes."
 Jack said, "Hornyhanded, hairy chested," and grinned. But Judy sensed that he didn't like Cary Ten nant any better than she did.
 The house that Marvel's decorator had evolved was thing of black floors, angled sofas, extremely low chairs, and whole walls of mirror glass. There were white gazelles on glass-topped tables; white rugs in little splotches on the dark floor; gleaming chromium.
 "It looks like a machine shop" said Jack.
 "Hush!"
 It was really imposing, if you cared for modernity. But Judy didn't. She had always liked old mahogany and Virginia sofas.
 Kay Roseter, on being presented to Admiral Alcott, informed him that her last picture had been a Navy picture. "We had the most distinguished Englishman playing the role of Admiral.
 q don't doubt" said Judy's father solemnly, "but that he looked the part much more than I do."
 Kay Roseter's stiff-lashed, hazel eyes opened wide. T didn't mean that at all! Dear me, Admiral, l am really too much in awe of you to indulge in-"
 Don't be, my dear. I'm merely human"
 But Marvel says the whole setup is too, too overpowering She had me actually believing I'd have to curtsey."
 Dwight hastily put in a respect full word or two, and Kay Roseter drifted off. Captain and Mrs. Lane, who were politely trying not to stare at the hooting, shouting group across the room, came up. Judy said, T don't believe I've met all the people"
 Dwight said, That's Cary Ten nant's group, making the noise. They're nice when you know them. Shall I take you over there?"
 Judy found that the center of the merrymaking was a young debutante called "Slim" Jarrett. She was ugly in an animated way, and Judy guessed that her per- sonality was famous among her friends. She was that sort. Slim bounced on Judy. "You're the typical Navy girl Dwight was tell ing us about. You'd be at home in a trunk, or in Guam. or in the jun gle, isn't that right?"
 You've got me mixed with the Englishman who dresses for din ner," said Judy.
 Dwight grinned. Judy met Diane's eyes. Diane and Bill and Mazda Hamilton and her husband were standing near bookcase. They had been reading the titles of the books.
 A Chinese servant carrying a tray of cocktail glasses circulated among the guests. Marvel said, "If anybody wants to dance, I've had the back porch changed into sort of patio"
 People dropped through the din ing room, out of the French doors to view the patio. Judy thought, "She might as well have bought a new home. She's practically made this one over"
 Jack Hanley, who had been stick ing pretty close to Judy all evening, said in low voice, T feel sick. Let's stay out here and watch the stars" 7"
 What's wrong with you?" she asked.
 five had a stiff dose of snob- bery," he replied. Those friends of her are poisonous"
 You simply don't know them. They're not your kind
 That's it. The rarifled air is kill ing me. And say, don't think the skipper liked the sound of remark Cary Tennant passed"
 Judy said crisply, 'It's silly to attach too much importance to these things. They're Marvel's friends"
