self-consciousness, of self dis
trust But tonight, Jackie WAS
the heroine, and it was for her
pleasure Lucy planned. Her adj
miration for Jackie. her entire
and trustful surrender to the
other girls charm, gave Lucy an
almost feverish wish to please.
Jackie must have a good time.
Jackie's party must be a success.
That seemed to Lucy the key to
her own future happiness.
In the verandah, a melancholy
Victorian adjunct on dark or
rainy days but now as enchant-
ing with Summer night as a
Spanish cloister, Lucy, having APP
proved the moon and what IT
shone on. stood and listened to
the music.
A car hummed. A car-door
clapped. A bell rang Lucy was
startled. Not guests already! 1t
wasn't even ten o'clock. Nobody
would be there. certainly, before
the earliest hour far more likely
that most OF her guests would
wait until nearly midnight. But
there were voices; Johns

Lucy will know how 10 clasp
them on for YOU" smiled Judith,
her eyes and fingers are younger
than mine"
Lucy took the string in silence
and in silence clasped it about
Jackie's slim brown throat.
Lucy's hands were steady but she
knew that they were cold. that
her face must be whittier than the
jewels. Jackie, feeling the finger
tips, noticing the silence, turned
a rather doubtful face.
Aren't they beautiful, Lucy?
Isn't it sweet of your aunt ?"
They are very beautiful"
said Lucy in that other voice,
higher, clearer, steadier and
sweeter. and she stood silent I'M
til the rapturous thanks were
said and affably received then.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-04

II was not until a long time
afterward, when the pattern Of
her life tapestry had begun TO
reveal itself with the weaving of
advancing years that Lucy under
stood what had happened at that
successful party on the night OF
June 18th. At the time, she gave
Peter Wayne credit for the mir
acle. For, at this party. Lucy
danced She danced, not only with
the duty partners. paying a So
cial debt TO their hostess, but
with practically everyone 9.
and more than once or twice.
1t did begin with Peter Wayne,
cutting in on prolonged duty
dance. Nobody before had had
the courage, or perhaps the wish,
10 cut in on Lucy's partner. Then,
too soon for Lucy, another of
Jackie's friends, the Harvard
boy; next time, the lad from Bal
timore. and that wild-haired
young New York journalist.
After a while, the Philadelphia
boys, her cousins and her child
hood acquaintance began to fall
into line; Linnie's suggestion as
TO inviting friends of Jackie's own
having made Baked Alaska of the
Philadelphia social ice-cream.
1 UCY was popular at her own
- ball. She thought she was CIV
ing Jackie a good time and. in
fact. Jackie seemed to be enjoy
ing that enviable experience with
a light heart. Even though Lucy
saw Peter leave Jackie to cut in
on her own partner, she did not
question his swift and timely res
cues. She danced and dreamed
and Gazed beyond his shoulder at
the country of that dream.
1t was at the height of the eve
ming. the music in the full of
swing of a Viennese waltz when
John announced an entirely un-
expected guest.
He stood at. the dance room
door. Miss Judith Grange" he
doomed.
Lucy was dancing past him
and stopped, turning from Peters
arm. She snatched at Jackie,
luckily within her reach. Both
girls, their partners rigid but
gallant, came forward to meet
the extraordinary entrant. Aunt
Judith wore dark crimson velvet
She smiled graciously upon Lucy
and took her hand.
What a very pretty party my
child. Your Aunt Lu and were
returning from a concert and a
supper in town and thought we
would look in on you all. How
lovely it is. so young and gay"

come in. She has a touch of her
neuralgia, poor Lu! And you,
Jacqueline; l hope you are en-

I've brought you a gift, my
dear. I feel too must take mart
in the family welcome. This
ought to make. a Grange Of
you" And from the leather case
in her long jeweled hand she
drew out with the other a string
of supple simmer, a little SER
pent of pale brightness.
Pearls o, Miss Grange, how
lovely of you. What beauties And
what an exquisite clasp. Look,
Lucy"

from her pillar
to the nearest door, which stood
open, and with her accustomed
Observation-Disclosures as to what
would constitute the next step,
wandered into the room.
A young man stood in the mid
die of the floor. Tall slim, in
black and white, flower in his
buttonhole, joyous anticipation in
his eyes, he was an embodied In
Vitation to the Waltz. Alone,
standing quite still, he seemed,
nevertheless, with his whole be-
ing, to dance, to laugh, to love,
to be, in fact, head over heels in
love with motion, music, moons
and a girls loveliness.
When Lucy's sandals tapped
the floor he turned about and
saw her standing against a pur-
pie square of night, as Trojan
Helen might have stood, classic
and tall, Immortality serene. And
Peter Wayne, early by appoint
ment with Jackie, moved not a
finger, not an eyelash.
Lucy stood as still.
At last, You must be one of
Jackie's friends" she said. I'm

My name is Peter. Peter Wayne
I'm afraid I'm terribly early but,

THAT panic, all too familiar in
its consequences on Lucy. had
obviously taken possession Of him
He was looking anxiously about,
night and left, longing for the
humanness. the familiarity. the
ease that was called Jackie Sey-
mour.
For the first time in her life,
Lucy vaguely understood this con-
dition. but she could not help him
by a word She had no such
words She had never felt the
need of any. People had made
no demands upon her conversa-
tional powers. They had seemed
content, even eager. to gaze in
silence. 10 worship from afar And
that. Of course. was why she had
never felt neglected. -.
It was so obviously the dis
lance imposed by worship. While
Peter stood in silence gazing at
her, she was completely at her
ease. as any goddess might be.
Il was closer communication that
gave Lucy her shyness and her
self-distrust But now suddenly
the isolation Of the altar was not
enough She wanted terribly TO
know this Peter Wayne. to talk
and laugh and play and dance
with HIM She felt as lonely as a
plaster saint This longing and
this loneliness were in her eyes.

to escort Aunt Judith to her car.
Not long afterwards the
dancers began to say good-by.
Lucy was glad that dawn was
coming and that the morning
star trembled in the yellow east.
1t had- been wonderful party
but there was reason for her to
be still very very pale.

BIG BA5kETBALL
 GAMES MAY BE
 PLAYED, JUNEAU
Ketlhikan and Petersburg May Come Here fo De-
 eide Championship

The Ketchikan High School bas- ketball team is on top of the heap in the Southeast division of the AL aska high school basketball stand ings so far. in this years play-off by virtue of two wins recently over it's arch rival, Petersburg. The scores were: First game, Ketchikan 28, Pet ersburg 26, in an overtime period. The second game Petersburg won 30 to 28, and the third game was won by Ketchikan, 30 to IS, all three games being played at Ketchikan.
 However, this does not decide the team to journey to Juneau for the lSoutheast title, as Ketchikan must play three-game series at Petersburg, and must win two of the games If not, it is reliably re- ported that both teams will come to Juneau to complete the play-off be- fore the series with Juneau High s Crimson Bears. 2
 The champions of the southern district are decided on a four-game winner out of seven-game series. Ketchikan needs two wins to make the series championship and the right to play Juneau.
