more colorless than usual by COM
parison, made her wish flercely that
she hadn't come.
But the evening was rendered even
more bitter by something that hap
pened later.
She had gone to the powder room
to repair her makeup and almost
blundered into the midst of con-
versation which concerned herself

say, if she wanted to have friends
she should have" She didn't
hear the rest OF it. She fled out
into the crowded gymnasium again
where the dancing was already be-
ginning. Her face felt flushed and
she had a sick, empty feeling inside
her.
One of the older boys asked her
to dance, but she declined Imme-
diately there were dozen more
coaxing her.
Yes, of course, I'll dance" she
told the most importunate of her
admirers suddenly. She saw Ste

smile on his face, and she threw

of her own.
Their First Dance.
She wasn't surprised when he cut
in after a while. This is the first
time we ever danced together" Ste
phen said awkwardly.
Yes" Her eyes met his briefly
again and turned away. Her heart
beat suffocatingly and she felt that
every one must surely be watching
the two of them, although to her
eyes the rest of the room whirled
by in a blur.
When the music ended Stephen
held her in his arms for an instant

give up their cloSeneSS.
Look, Mr.. Malone" some of the
boys were shouting hilariously

"What?" He turned toward them
with puzzled expression.
The mistletoe-right above you

right under it,"
They gaZed at each other in a
brief agony of embarrassment, and
then Stephen smiled and bent his
lips to hers. The whole room was
hushed as they drew slowly apart.
Janet was trembling and her face
had turned ghostly white
A treble boyish voice shouted,
Bravo. he done it," and the room
resounded with shouts and laugh
ter once more, the spell broken.
The confusion swirled and roared
around them as the dancing began
again, but they were alone.
You aren't angry?" Stephen
whispered.
No" she answered. She pulled
away suddenly and made her way
through the dancing throng. She
had to get away. Stephen had felt
sorry for her. He wanted her to
have a nice time That's why he'd
asked her to dance. And he'd hated
not to kiss her. after the boys had
shouted out before the whole room
He'd been afraid she'd feel as if he
didn't want to-humiliated He
couldn't know, of course, that she
had never had kiss before like that
one, sending a thrill OF ecstasy all
the way through her.

happened that they came out Of the

said with a laugh.
"A rather pleasant spot" Stephen
answered with grin.

Yes" Janet. answered. Yes, 1

Surely you don't have TO co."
Stephen said. The party's just be-

Yes. She forced a smile to her
lips. Il really must 60"
Il suppose you have another
party" Miss Mills said in that same
queer, ringing tone There are so
many parties this holiday"
Yes, 1 have" Janet answered.
Larry and I are going to party"
A few moments later she was in
the cloakroom getting her coat She
had to blink fiercely to keep the
tears from spilling over in her eyes.
From phone booth in the en-
trance to the gym she tried to locate
Larry. She reached him at last at
the Golden Parrot. He sounded a
trifie drunk, but she didn't care at
the moment
Whats tn matter?" he asked
thickly as he helped her into his
ear a short time later. Party a
bust?"
Yes, Larry"
He threw her derisive look. III
take you on a real party!' he prom
iSed. He swerved the Car away
from the curb with his usual roaring
abandon. while Janet huddled in a
corner of the seat, caring neither
how nor where they went. She felt
utterly and completely miserable.
Janet Reaches Decision.
The feverish, hysterical gaiety of
the Golden Parrot seemed unreal to
her. She sat in moody silence.
watching Larry drink far more than
was good for him and lose a great
deal of money playing roulette.
He ignored her after several irri-
table efforts to break her apathy.
1t was o'clock when she finally
persuaded him that it was time to
90. He was quite wobbly on his
feet by then. and the cold, fresh
| outdoors air seemed to have no So
bering effect.
I'D better drive" she told him
firmly. Even though it had been
several years since she'd driven a
onI cHn hal
expert at it. she was certain she
could do better than he could un-
der the circumstances.
I've made up my mind, Larry
she said as she drove out on the
highway toward Drillford.
Il knew you'd want me again"
he muttered sleepily.
Il didn't mean that, Larry" she
explained patiently. I'm going
away at once. I can't stay here any
longer"
Coin away?" His voice was tired,
and he slipped down in the seat,
and his head rolled to one side. He
was completely out. Janet tried to
arouse him when she had stopped in
front Of her house, but to no avail.
She didn't dare leave him parked
in the car as bitterly cold as it was.
Starting the car again with numb
fingers, she drove on aimlessly for
time at complete loss as to just
what she should do.
1t was showing now, the snow a
thick, binding sheet before the
lights of the car, and she couldn't
tell where she was driving. Once
she thought she had struck some
thing, but decided that it must have
