She was going on to say that it
was not a gamble she could afford
to take. In another moment she
would have said that. And IN the
next Jordan would have said the

life would have been settled. A
years secretarial work, and the
rest of her life married to young
Professor Estill. Singing at teas
now and then. Continuing off and
on to be a secretary by the hour
for pin money.
A nice life. A nice man. .
After all, she wasn't the first-it
flashed through her mind-to be
the top girl of her year, and then
settle into an ordinary, pleasant,

quite such a wide-open oyster as
it had been once upon time. Her
lips opened to say it.

"Hey, monopolizing the Queen
of the Mayl" he shouted. He
swung Eileen round once, and
then set her on top of the bar.
Man that wants to dance with
Queen of the May has to grab for
her!" he proclaimed.
The band banged. The Negroes,
across the eddying lamplit smoke,
guffawed. She stood daintily
among the glasses, her. small satin
clad feet together, her wide ivory
skirt caught tight, laughing. A
half-doZen men made a snatch for
her. She sprang to one side of the

her into corner.

His smile flashed over her
warmly. The sort of smile that

that he did it all the time to all
