CHAPTER 10

OLD MAN Walter Van Buren,
Pomeroy owns a mansion with
eight bedrooms and eight acres on
Houston's expensive Calumet drive.
The eight bedrooms are quite
enough to house his family, which
consists Of one overfed and adipose
wife and one underfed and dissi-
pated daughter.
The latter, however, is not with
out some physical charm. Youth
can Offset a deal Of dissipation, for
a while. Miss Geraldine danced too
much, smoked too much, drank too
much, and ate improperly, but her
calves still had nice curves, and
the best beauticians in Houston
kept her face and hair in per-
petual good front. When Geraldine
happened to get two good nights
sleep in succession, she could be
downright beautiful. If, that is, her
mood permitted her mouth corners
to turn up.
This evening, though, she was
short on sleep, and her rather large
mouth dropped like that of a fish.
Of this is inelegant, it is neverthe-
less accurate; the same phenome-
non may be observed in other peo-
ple.) Geraldine had not had a good
day at Rice. A pop quiz in French
literature 400 had left her helpless.
English 40 had been spiced with
questions which DR.. Montgomery
had centered on her. And The
Thresher, student weekly, had APP
peared with its Winchellian gossip
column, including this:
what erstwhile beauty page has
been seen less and less Of late with
what handsome football star? Old
songs, they say, are the best ones.
Can the Merry Widow waltz be
coming back into style"
It was just plain enough to make
people look at Geraldine and smile.
One girl, a former rival, had
chirped at her, "Oh, Peaches,
they're picking on you, darlingw
Peaches had pretended not to hear,
which evoked a splash of laughter
from at least a dozen boys and
girls.
Peaches was sitting now in her
room, glooming.
Definite point of the gloom was
the freshman dance, set for to-
night. Three men, including that
new prof, Holgate, had asked to
take her; but Bob Towne had not.
Peaches was morally certain
hence flriously certain-that Bob
would take that impossible Davis
widow. Peaches herself had ac-
copied a date with Charlie Bane,
whom she did not like much, but
who at least dressed well and

| to be sociable with any of the 9TH
er stays as yet-he spoke to some
of the orchestra men.
''Will you have any waltzes 2"
he inquired Of the leader.
Hadn't thought" was the reply.
WEN work in a couple, if you
think the crowd would like it."
'Oh. BY all means. Yes, indeed!"
The enthusiasm was enough to
convince the leader, SO he ar
ranged the program accordingly.
Third and eighth dances all
right 2" he asked. DR.. Holgate
thanked him.
The embarrassment Of being
alone drove him from the ball
room during the first dance. He
thought she looked heavenly. At
a distance, and through prejudiced
eyes, she did.
She encountered him back on the
f1oor-he had retreated near an ar
tificial palm in the second dance.
and she remembered that he had
asked to escort her here. That
caused her to appraise him.
He's not particularly hand
some," she told herself. s'but he's
not bad, either"
She caught his eye and .winked
Fat him, as if in comradeship. She
was whirled on in the dance,
though, and could not know that
she had set his heart pounding.
He did waltz with her, toward
the end of Dance III.
He studied the collegians' tech
nigue Of Cutting i'm and initiated
it very well. Moreover, he waltzed
well enough to cause no comment,
at least, although he was tense
from actually holding Peaches in
his arms for the first time. He was
very conscious Of her perfume now.
Also, in this physical intimacy, he
observed the heavy makeup that
she wore; ordinarily he did not
approve Of exaggerated rouging
and eyebrow doctoring and such,
had often said it was a form of
dishonesty. Now, though, he could
see nothing whatsoever to criti-
CHE.
She left him still glowing in
wardly, after promising, at his
brazen request, to dance all OF
Number VIII with him. Paul Tenn
pleton has that one, but he can't
waltz and he'll be drunk as sailor
by then, anyway" she informed
him, rather surprisingly. "You can
have all the waltz, Thornton"
A grand and glorious happiness
therefore settled upon DR.. Holgate.
In the gay crowd he saw no more
of her for long while, nor did
he try. He greeted a few, other
faculty folk, but mostly he stayed
to himself. He was content to
nurse the pleasures of anticipation.
Also, he had to think of several
items Of conversation. He even
took his tiny note pad out surrep-
titiously and jotted them down, to
insure his remembering them when
he should have Peaches to himself
for an entire dance. He was de-
termined to make the most Of this
opportunity.
Time from third to eighth
dances, however, stretched into al
most two hours. An unexpected
floor show, with still more unex-
pected encores, added greatly to
the evenings festivities, so that
midnight had passed when the
lights finally were dimmed again
and the unnistakable rhythm of
a waltz began.
All in an instant DR.. Holgate
was frantic. The room was rather
large and he could not find
Peaches. He hurried into the adj
joining lounge, though, and saw
her at once, slumped on a divan.
"Ish Thornton" she told the boy
beside her. "Shee i'm? Looking
owl eyed at me, Paul. Shee? Ish
he drunk too?"
