They had reached the dim, Sc

had caught her close to him.

Yes" Bart's voice was low
and tense. But ] can't do it,
Christie. This war business has
got me. I'm going to get in there
and pitch"
Christie was very still in
Bart's arms. She must have
known this was coming. Now,
she knew how all the wives and
sWeetheartS over the world felt
when they heard this same
news. AS though something was
closing around your heart.
"Tll wait" Christie whisper
ed.
"Oh, darling-it might be a
long time. But you will stand
by, Christie?"
You know | will"
He kissed her again, and then
released her. A low, amused
laugh had startled them.
Hello, soldier"
Sandra Rydall had come close
to them. She was nearer Chris
tie, but her eyes were on Bart.
Hello" Bart said, adding
Christie, this is Sandra Ry-

"Why not?" Christie thought,
happily. 1t would be just as we'll

The girl was bold, shameless.
But it wasn't news to me-"
Sandra continued carelessly.

Air Corps, l guess"
Christie's shocked surprise
was succeeded by pure fury. If
she spoke now, she would Ger.
tainly betray her indignation
and contempt for this girl and
her cheap tactics. She did not
speak, waiting for Bart to put
the stranger in her place.
But Bart was smiling. He had
lighted cigaret and the brief
glow showed the amused CLEAN
in his eyes.
"You evidently think / don't

COMPETITION ARRIVES
CHAPTER ii

Christie, in Bart'S arms, whirl-
ed past her mother and Miss
Sarah Lancaster. She gave them
her most heart-warming smile,
because she felt sorry for them
both--sitting there against the
wall. For her mother, still pref

Are drunk, and the girls,

to her voice.
"The perfect Family Tone, +"
Tommy laughed. Let's switch
to something pleasant. And do
mean pleasant. There's a girl
here-well, nothing quite like
her has ever set foot in this
town before. She came in late
with the Robb Nortons. She and
] are going to slip out at inter-

spot. She's really keen about il"
The Robb Nortons. Then the
new girl would be downstairs in
the Blue Room. The NortonS al
ways took their dancing sitting
around lowering over glasses.
The new girl
Could she be the same girl
Bart had been talking about?
Of course she was! she looks
pretty social" Bart had said.
All at once, Christie felt con-
Stunning curiosity to see the
stranger who had put the spec
ial sound lin Bart's voice and
sent Tommy, the Indifferent, on
a raid of her evening bag.
Leave me a lucky penny
Christie said, adding impulsive-
ly, Il may need it.
The next moment, Bart had
cut in again. I'm just two min
utes, they're going to play Aud
Lang Syne," he said. Know
what that means?"
Yes, Christie knew what that
meant. All the lights would go
out. There would be that brief
moment of darkness as the old
year merged with the new.
Then, they'd blaze on again.
Boys would wipe lipstick from
their lips and brush powder
from their shoulders. Girls

would smooth down tnelr mar.
! And, then, there would be a
mad dash to strip the balloons
off the wall. They'd pop them
al over the place.
But when Bart kissed her, it
would be a promise, a dedica-
ton. Darkness. His lips on hers
for one brief moment. Bright
lights again, the orchestra strik-
ing up.
Suddenly the music stopped
abruptly. Then as quickly
swung into God Bless Ameri-
ca"
Good tune" Bart said, as the
dancing stopped. They were
standing now by the arch which
separated the ballroom from the
enclosed porch. Tommy and a
girl were dancing on the dim
ly-lighted porch. They danced
past Christie and Bart and into
the ballroom; and as though
completely unaware of the SEN
sation they were causing, dou-
BILE stepped the martial rhythm
with perfect timing.
The girl wore a bright red
frock, with a huge skirt that
emphasized her slim waist. Her
eyes were enormous and vel
vety black. Her hair was swept
up in high pompadour.
"Tommy's fool" Bart said.
IF this had been Europe, he
would have been rushed off by
the military, police. He's pretty
lucky he lives 10 America"
Tommy" ChriNine echoed
Indignantly, what about that
girl? She should have brought
some respect for this country
when she came from Europe!"
Bart spoke slowly, II think
it's rather unfair to judge per-
son SO quickly"
Christie's anger fell from
her. Perhaps it is, she said in
a low tone. She had realized
that not all her anger was di-
rected against the new girl be-
cause of the exhibition. She dis
liked her because she was
beautiful and dangerous be-
cause Bart obviously didn't dis
like. her. Now, she was beating
a retreat because Bart might be
forced into open championship
of the other girl.
And l couldn't take that, she
thought.
Are we crazy" Bart was
leading her away from the ball
room. This is no way to start
our new year"
Its just that everybody was
looking at Tommy as though he
were a traitor" Christie said.
Her voice trembled little.
"Oh, now look here. Aren't
you getting a little hysterical
about the whole thing? Nobody
is going to spoil this evening for
me. Sit this out with me, Chris
tie. I've something to tell you.
Christie's personal sky was
swept clear of storm clouds. She
thought, as Bart piloted her
toward the Palm Room: cts sill
ly to be this much in love-" A
look from Bart could lift her
up or drop her down. Right now
she was on top of the world.
Bard had something to tell her!
