 Florabelle had removed, her fur and hat. With a glass in her hand, she sat on the arm of chair, looking extremely decorative. Clara, aided by. Steve, was getting out of her wraps. She was laughing and talking namely. Ann looked at Steve He was younger than the other men | younger and nicer.
 Jake had gone behind the im- provised bar. "Whatu 1t be- angel?"
 Ann was at loss. Evidently this was what was meant by "be- ing on a party" She had never tasted intoxicating liquor, her father had seen to that. Inexpe- rienced, as she was, she knew that it was up to her to bluff. She couldn't put on an act"as Flora belle had said.
 Mix up something you think I'll like" she said indiferently.
 Did you hear, that. Steve?' Jake believed. "You see before you smart little lady. She says, Mix up something that you think I'll like" .,"
 By this time Clara was slipping a long drink. She was doing her best to be casual about 1t, initiating Florabelle's every move. While Jake hilariously mixed the drinks Steve crossed the room to. Ann. He was an exceptionally good-looking young man, well groomed and nice hammered. He was 8 little less in. toxicated than his two friends.
 I've never had the pleasure of meeting you" he said.
 Perhaps you've never gone stunning in the right places" she returned coolly. Ann was angry, more angry at herself than at the three men.
 Why had she come? Why had she let herself in for something i she might not be able to handle? What was the fun in gathering like this? Where was the excuse for 1t?
 Pert little. devil,- aren't you?" Steve remarked.

 DO I detect gravel in that re- mark?"
 T put some in. Maybe you are clever enough to detect it."
 Jake came from behind the bar, 8 stemmed glass in his hand. Here you are, my sweet"
 Thank you" She took the glass. What was she to do with it? Why oh, why had she come?

immense rhinestone clip. A smart ly yelled hat partially covered her ash blond head.
 Clara was a living demonstra- ton of what 6 girl should not wear. The cerise dress fought with the shade of her rouge, her flame colored nails fought back. Shed had her hair done at noon and her head had an iceSbound look Bangle bracelets jingled from her wrist, bib necklace of raw gold covered her chest.
 Aren't you going to wear any jewelry?" she asked Ann.
 T haven't anything nice"
 Gee, wish I'd known it. They have swell stuff at the store."
 Ann looked at Clara's decora- tions and was not in the least en. vious. They found a cab waiting at the curb and Ann quietly en. joyed the unaccustomed luxury Clara's pleasure was less quiet.
 Ann said, T wonder why the men didn't come for us."
 Florabelle glanced at ther quiz zically. She said nothing.
 It was a long drive and Clara'S excitement rose as the meter climbed. Look at that thing" she kept saying. Gee, they must be rich"
 At last they stopped before an apartment hotel on Sheridan drive Florabelle gracefully led the way to an elevator and they shot up- ward, Ann's doubts increasing with every floor.
 Why should we go to MT. Hor- tons apartment?" she asked. "Why don't we meet them where we are to have dinner2" ..
 Florabelle lost patience. Look, she said firmly. "Are you plan- ming to have a good time or are you going to put on an act at every turn? Who is throwing this party, anyway?'.'
 Ann felt properly squelched. T just wondered" she said lamely.
 Well, stop wondering. Take things as they come. I go to parties like this about five times a week and I'm none the worse for them.
 . s She knocked on closed door and it swung open. A large beefy man with several chins and a bulging waistline beamed out at them.
 Three little gifts from heaven, " he proclaimed loudly.
 "This is Clancy" Florabelle said, Ann and Clara"
 "Howdy, Ann and Clara. Come in. The two male earth beings be- hind me are Jake and Steve. Step up, boys and do your manners"
 Jake appeared on one side of his host and Steve on the other. Each carried glass in his hand. There was confusion of greetings. Jake removed Ann's hat and clulnsily attempted to unbutton her little jacket.
 "This stays on," she said, back ing away. .y ..
 He roared with laughter. "All right-all right-just wanted to be helpful" He patted her cheek. Look at her boys" he yelled "Am I 8 good picker or am I a good picker?" He had purple jowls and a bald head.
 Ann li1ew right then that her doubts had been well founded. She glanced about the apartment. No one lived there, that was obvious. It had merely been taken for the evenings entertainment. A kitchen, brilliantly lighted, opened of the main room. From where Ann stood, she could see down 8 hall from which opened bedrooms and bath.
 Jake took her hand. "It's plaln that you need little drink" he said thickly. Come with your old pal, Jake" He led her to 8 con- sole table which had been turned into a bar. It was loaded with bottles and glasses.
 Ann said, T thought we were going out to dinner" Anything to get away.
 That's the surprise" he told

Ann hesitated. There was a dif- ference between going on party and going to party. When she hesitated, Florabelle said, And you too, Clara"
 "Oh, Florabelle," Clara breathed excitedly, That's swell - simply swell. Isn't it, Ann?"
 ''T'd like to go to a party" Ann admitted. What - what kind of a party is it2"
 "Oh," Florabelle continued care- lessly, @we'll have dinner some where-and dance"
 Clara's eyes sparkled twill we meet swell fellows?" She had a definite idea of swell fellows. They worked in offices behind big ma- hogany desks, they spent their evenings in night clubs. She had seen them in the movies.
 "The best families in town will be represented" Florabelle as- Sllred her with a little grimace.

 well, don't try to be dressy. Wear street clothes. The smartest girls in Chicago never dress"
 Clara ran to the closet and brought forth an atrocious taffeta frock. It was cerise, trimmed with cream lace. twill this be all right?" she asked excitedly.
 "It1l do." As she left the room, Florabelle said. You're the im- portant one, Ann. The party is be- ing given in your honor"
 "My honor?"
 '"Sure. Jake Bontel was in the taxi. the other night. He saw you and asked me to bring you 'round..'7 ~.
 "Win there be a man for Clara?"
 Florabelle nodded. Three men will be there. Clancy Horton-he's mine and don't you forget 1t for a minute - Jake Bontel and Steve Claybourne. Steve goes with the North :. Side crowd. Occasionally he likes to meet the other half"
 Ann was 8 little dubious about the affair. She had the feeling that Florabelle was railroading her into something. On the other hand, she was eager for gaiety, Dinner and dancing - 1t sounded delightful.
 F1orabelle took her acceptance for granted. "Just wait till Steve Claybourne sees Clara" she said, laughing lazily.
 There was furry of baths and dressing in the apartment the next evening. Ann wore the new blue dress and little cancake hat. Her hair was like gold, vivid color burned in her cheeks, her eyes were mysteriously dark. Flora belle's gown was black, sleek and plain. At her throat she wore an
