QanCeQ SulOOLIlly, and who would
match any pace she wanted to set.
Her deductions as to Bob Towne
had been wrong, of course. A very
young man, somewhat resembling
a headlight on a train, so brightly
did his happiness beam, came in
with the widow Davis on his arm.
He was Mr.. Worthington Gurlev.
and it quickly became apparent
that he had managed social coup.
Boys instantly began to hang
around Sara. Sue, and Peaches
learned later that some spirited
buying and selling Of dances with
her had been done, sub rosa.
The inevitable stag line devel-
oped rather surprisingly, too. In it,
for instance, was big Bob Towne.
who openly admitted that Fresh
man Gurley had stolen his girl for
the night. In it, too Cat the insist
ence of Sara Sue Davis, Incorpo-
rated), was Thornton Holgate.
Phi. D., minus his spectacles, wear

ing altogether nice except for a.
strained expression.
Relax" Sara managed to whis-
per to him once. Smile at people.
Cut in on all the dances you can"
Because Charlie Bane kept Slip
ping outside for a drink. leaving
Peaches momentarily alone, she
also moved to greet the professor
"Dr. Holgate, how are you 2" she
smiled at him. $50 glad to see you
here! 'sWhom are you dating?'
why ah-hOw do you do, Miss
Pomeroy? Yes, indeed" She had
accosted him unexpectedly, from
his side, which f1ustered him as
much as her prettiness did.
Peaches, who had good eyes.
turned their power on him:
Peaches always acted on the un-
spoken theory that every man was
made for servitude.
'WhO?" She asked again.
"Ah, yes. That is, I came alone.
Just-ah-stagging, as we boys
say"
That was quite a speech for him.
He paused to swallow, then went
manfully on, however.
II wasn't sure that could come
at all, until the last minute. T
hope ! may have the pleasure Of
dancing some with you. fYou-ah-
may ] be so presumptuous as to
say that you look charming this
EVENING"" He bowed with that.
Partly to cover the pink he felt
darling up his neck.
Thank you! Peaches smiled. She
was in better humor now, with Bob
Towne Staging.
Another man claimed her, then,
and DR.. Holgate was content to
look at her. Their brief contact
had been most pleasurable. He
felt that he could get up nerve
enough to "cut in" on her for a
bit of dancing later.
He was, however, by no means
confident Of his ability to dance
well enough to please her. Obeying
Sara Sue Davis, he had studied
dancing with great care, had TAX
en- q number Of private lessons,
and was not quite so utterly lost
when he had held girl in his
arms. But he had taken only the
simplest steps. On one point, how
ever, he did base a great deal of
hope-he had learned to waltz rea-
sonably well. The ONE-two-three,
ONE-two-three Of waltzing had
come easily and pleasantly Gas it
has for many another MANI. It is
relatively slow, is not necessarily
cluttered up with tricky improvi-
sations.
He wondered if he should ask
Miss Pomeroy in advance for an
opportunity to waltz with her. Then
he remembered that this was a
program dance. He had not even
met her escort, and he felt that her
program would be full anyway.
For want of something better
to do he could not force himself
