Like a novice about to take his
first parachute drop, he cleared
his throat and pitched mo give

The crowd listened-with in
creasing respect. He faltered a
trif1e at first, but be got into the
swing of it rapidly. BY the time
they had joined him in the first
chorus and he had moved into the
second stanza, self-assurance had
returned.
He caught the zest of singing
now and doomed out with a really
good BARITONE.
"Yip-pee, ride 'em cowboy!''
some youngster shouted, and the
chorus came again.
He leaned over the pianist then,
to read the words Of the third and
fourth stanzas. Quite naturally and
matter-of-factly a couple of fell
lows put their arms over his
shoulders and joined him. The
harmony was good. Something in
him frightened for second at their
contact, but all at once he relaxed
and sang even better. When it was
done he laughed, quite spontane-
ously, then looked hastily at Sara
Sue. She winked at him, and
nodded.

grinned, friendly. "Well, come on,

When they drifted back to the

He had never danced in his life.
He had this afternoon shared. a
brief dance companionship more
precious than anything he had ever

face out of the kitchen door.
'I'd' invite you to supper, Bob,

at that instant DR.. Thornton Hol-

Bob, this is DR.. Holgate. Bob,

Both men spoke politely.
"Dr. Holgate wanted to use my
Office for telephone call, long dis

at the story. Why must she feel
obligated to explain anything, she,
asked herself in some anger. !;
But Bob did not observe her con-!
fusion, and since he was already
heading for the door he babe them
good-by and went on out. Sara Sue
was grateful for that. She turned
to Thornton Holgate.

She meets quite few people, no

"Then you didn't get the date.''
"Not exactly. She she post
poned any commitment. I am to
call her again, the night before
the dance"
"Oh," said Sara Sue. Um-huhm.
I think I understand"
She did nderstand, although she
did not explain to DR.. Holgate.
Peaches Pomeroy was waiting,
Sara Sue knew, until she was abb
solutely sure Bob Towne would not

accept this DR.. Holgate, whoever

Of it,
She smiled at the girl, and the
girl drifted away, smiling in re-
turn. This was all informal. No
body cared what happened.
"Just walk, slow short steps"
Sara Sue whispered in Thornton's
ear. Don't look down. And smile,
even if it kills you!"
She humn1ed gaily herself, WISE
cracked at one of the other boys,
chung closely to Thornton as if she
were enjoying her dance immense
ly. Actually she was guiding his
stiff form, and stepping fast to
avoid tripping. Nobody noticed feet
in an impromptu dance like that,
however.
In minute or so she had him
at least walking in rhythm with
the music. She kept him crowded
in with the others, maintained con-
slant chatter and laughing, COW
cred up his embarrassment and
confusion. Then all at once the
music stopped.
THANK me for it," whispered
Sara Sue. unobserved.
I-I-thank you, madam" said
DIR. Holgate, bowling, formally, red
as a tomato.
"Oh, at it again!" she was still
acting. Hes been teasing me for

The others all laughed with her.

Sheep-like, he followed her in.
He was so grateful to hear the
door close behind him that he sat
down, trembling slightly. Sara Sue
felt q sudden deep sympathy for
him.
Wonderful" she lied, like a
lady. you're doing fine, DR.. Hol-
gate. You are learning to mix with
people. That's what you need, if
you are going to run around with

DIR. THORNTON HOLGATE
had meant exactly what he sale
when he called on Sara Sue Davis
Incorporated. Truly, love had come
to him. Or so he felt. When he had
left her cottage late that night
Sara Sue had promised sincerely to
help him all she could in his cam
paign to win Peaches Pomeroy.
Now, therefore, he was back In
her private office for more definite
advice, and Sara Sue was giving
it to him.
"You say that you are back
ward, DR.. Holgate. I imagine you
are just unnecessarily shy. So, ]
am ordering you to go to the fresh
man ball, mingle with the crowd,
dance with the prettiest-"
"But, my dear Mrs. Davis, I do
mot dance!"
Sara Sue smiled.
That's history, DR.. Holgate.

You are. in fact, going downtown

"But-um. Very well, madam"
His expression was that of mar
tyr.
IF you will permit it, the learn

On the contrary, DR.. Holgate, just
let it be, can't you? You can't
force pleasure. Just relax. Be your
self. Be -er-undignified.
You see what I mean? Pick the
prettiest girl and take her to the
freshman ball. Dance just the SIM
plest slide-slide steps, it won't
matter. Nobody cares. But smile.
Laugh. Talk. Tease the girls. Any
thing"
Oh! Oh, myp
She repressed her laughter this
time. Not that she was laughing at
him derisively, but because he was
honestly amusing in his naivete.
First, though, I have some 9TH

tie easier, although they are very
personal, DR.. Holgate."

proud to say"
That's fine! Proof that you can

that himself. And he nodded eag-
erly.
First, then, discard this suit.
The trousers are out Of style. The
