university team from Mexico City

zation.
| And following that would be the
International ball, honoring the
visiting players. It would be the
one outstanding social event of the
college year.
Everybody will be there, Thorn
ton," Sara Sue was explaining
Everybody OF social importance,
that is. It would be a real pleasure
for you to take Peaches. And--I
think she may not be dated yet,
and will probably go with you"
Excellent, if she would" he
agreed. IT shall ask her. Would
you advise me just to telephone,
or-perhaps send my request :?
Perhaps with some flowers ?"
Sara Sue considered that.
"Why, Thornton-I believe you
are right! Surely! What a nice
way to do it. Write her an informal
note, saying-just saying it would
surely be a pleasure to escort her
to the International ball, or some
thing like that, and put it in a
box of roses. Why, I'm proud Of
you for thinking Of it!s
Sara Sue would have been
thrilled, she knew, to have received
a box of roses with a request for
a date tied in. Now she could even
enjoy Peaches thrill a little bit,
vicariously.
She gazed up at Thornton, smil-
ing sweetly, unconscious Of the
mistiness in her eyes. He looked so
fine! He was a trifie f1orid, natur-
ally, and this made him seem boy

under praise. He had weaned him.
self from the habit of looking
away from people when conversing
with them, habit born of shyness.
He had stopped being owl-eyed and
quizzical and frowny when some
thing startled him. He was still
quiet Of manner, and polite, gentle
and genteel. But he certainly was
no whit a sissy any more.
He had almost given his life to
save two others, in the sea at Gal
weston. And Sara Sue herself had
seen him knock out burly sailor
in one smashing fist blow, without
seeming unduly ruffled about it.
He seemed to be gentleman of
quiet, reserve power, perhaps a
physical and mental power which
he himself mad not fully appreci-
ated nor appraised. Sara Sue told
herself, in this moment of looking
at him. that Peaches Pomeroy
would be fool if she did refuse
him.
He went ahead with his plan.

that quality buying was economy

that this sound dictum would APP

the roses out, he worked himself
quite unnecessarily into a other

phone, using by chance almost the
same phrase Sara Sue had used.

OF course!

His roses had worked! Or so he
thought.
Actually he was too naive, too
boyish, to realize that he was still
a campus hero who had been in
the headlines. and that almost any
girl would be honored if he asked
her for date now. Actually, it
amounted to genuine coup for
Peaches. whose general stock had
been sinking of late.
He talked a bit and said goodby,
strangely disturbed. r. -
Now that he actually had a for

| tune, especially many girls. For
this was an international ball, not
only to break training at the end
of football season, but to honor
the visiting squad from Mexico
City. The Mexican guests would be
resplendent in gold braided panta-
looms, boleros and serapes and
great picturesque hats. A re-
nowned Mexican orchestra-Los
Charritos-had been brought over
from San Antonio, most Latin Of
all the Texas cities.
These things had all been in
spired partly by the fact that the
Mexican theme always is beautiful,
and partly by the fact that such
a ball would be a courteous ges-
ture which could help build inter-
national goodwill. Astute student
leaders had already pulled the nee
essary political wires to get ma
tional attention for this social
function, and SO already had tele-
grams from President Roosevelt
and President Cardenas to be read
as surprise during dance inter-
mission tonight.
At 9:1O Thornton was dressed,
but he telephoned Sara Sue before
going to Peaches home.
"Sara Sue? Sorry to interrupt
you-you were dressing ?-but
wish advice on one more detail.
Shall drive my own car tonight,
or take Peaches in a taxicab?"
Sara Sue smiled. That was just
like him! He was still a kid, de-
spite his years and degrees. He
needed big-sistering. He still was
not sure of himself. He probably
was jittery with nervousness.
Doesn't matter" she ruled. .sOr
maybe yes, take the taxi. It will
keep your attention free. And

What would be expected of him
in that regard? The thought star
tied him.

the phone. ct would seem-ill

self. That sounded spiteful, and
and was, however truthful it was
also.
oh, I'm afraid I've done all
I can, now, Thornton. You'll have
to paddle your own canoe tonight,
old dear!" She was a little bit ex-
asperated with him-as well as
terribly in love with him. She
couldn't-just couldn't-tell him
any more, tonight, about making
love to another girl!
At $50 o'clock Thornton was
helping Peaches into his taxi.
Their greeting haG been most
cordial. He had, in all truth, been
momentarily dazzled by the bril-
lance of her. For the first time
he had seen her-so to speak-in
full array. Her black eyes and
hair, her expert makeup, her nat
ural eagerness to go to this dance
(and with one Of the current cam
pus heroes) made Peaches gor-
geous to behold. Nobody in fact

/ had ever denied that Miss Pome-
roy could be beautiful.
Tonight she had paid special at
tention to her costume, for a very
special reason. It was known about
the town and campus that Don
Romero del Celiedor, captain of the
Mexican football team, would lead
the grand march at midnight with
whatever American girl he should
choose. Inevitably there would be
competition! Moreover, the other
and momentarily greater campus
hero would be there-he who of
late had been neglecting Peaches.
| Her Spanish evening gown was
of Whitest satin. It was tight, al
most too form fitting, from the
shoulders to line below the hips
then it fiared theatrically with
a hundred tiny ruff1es. Her hair
dress was in loose fiat waves close
to her shapely head, a complete
change from the styles of the past
spring and summer, but the small
low knot behind was concealed by
Peaches mantilla, a gorgeous
white lace on a golden comb.
Two spots of color adorned her
further. One was a half-open red
rose over the left ear. The other,
not colorful in itself, nevertheless
held all of color and seemingly all
of beauty known to this universe,
caught and reflected and held and
displayed dazzlingly the pageantry
around her. 1t was bracelet of
diamonds rather Well.sxnOwn
bracelet given to Peaches by her
father when she had been chosen
for the Rice yearbook beauty pages
the year before. Many man, and
many a girl, had already admired
the Pomeroy bracelet. The ex-
pensive piece merited all the adj
miration it had received.
Poor Thornton tried with rea-
sonable success to tell the truth
that Peaches looked beautiful.
Any man could have been proud
of her, then. Nevertheless, he per-
sistently looked glum. And felt
glum. He wasn't sure why.
They talked some in the taxi.
He lapsed into his rather cold for
mality, with no cause, wondering
at the conflict of emotions within
him. He thought, almost hysteri-
cally, of the possibilities of pet
ting. He could not bring himself
to touch her, and yet could not tell
himself why.
"You may find the crowd bit
slow at first, Thornton" she was
saying. IT don't know what yop
are used to back east-you arA
new in Rice-but some of this
gang knows how to have a good
time"
"Oh, dare say!"
''The party will get poppy LATER"
she winked, meaningly, "even if It
starts off slow. 1t always Does"
He swallowed hard. He felt that
he understood, too well.
It meant that a couple Of hours
would be necessary for her and
her cronies to become sufficiently
intoxicated. It meant that most of
the conventions would then be dis
carded. It meant that Peaches
would expect him to go the pace
with her.
He took deep breath. Well, he
had asked for this. He wasn't
meeting anything blindly, and he
wasn't going to be a monochrome
list. Again he resolved to go her.

him!

stormed down Main street, in the

Thornton Holgate, caught in the
rush to town after the game was
over, found himself hooting and
yelling with the others. The con-

enough to engulf him, and when
8 o'clock came he was almost
