Peggy grinned back at him
and nodded.
When Badly returned TO the

various things. Fay and Michael

Ferdy, Peggy was pleased to
note, had decided TO join Fay
in cooperating with whatever
devious plan the younger girl
had in mind. He filled Badly S
glass again while Peggy car
ried on the Badly eulogy, en-
bellishing his condolences Of
the afternoon.
She described how Badly had
"wow I'd EN-" in the days be-
fore burlesque had com to stay
with his act that shared billing
with lady Of unquestionablc
charm - one Blossom. Wow
ed EN-" that il, until he made
the mistake Of marrying her.
Her words tumb'ed out with
feigned admiration and enthus-
iasm that mellowed Bald until
he beamed and struck the rest
Of the company, ano especially
Nigel. as high comedy. She had
no regard for sequence. but. her
praise of Badly. Ter mock saga
of his sometimes savory but
never colorlcss career, fell on
receptive ears. Even Myra for
got her misgiI ings in admira-
ton for this glib and entertain

"We could learn SO much
from Badly" Peggy ratified on.
The st, tumbling TO the
spirit Of the thing, joined in,
and soon Baldy basked i'm the
position that flattered h m
most. As the center Of the COM
pany he had been frozen out Of
few minutes before - and
center Of it thanks to Peggy -
he was soon taking over the ac-
count of his personal history
and adding glorious, il alco-
hollc. embellishments even Peg

The upshot. Of il all was that
sfter dinner he was mellowed
