it could not be sincere.
Besides, Jan felt that Ray ought

look unusually handsome in his
white coat and dark trousers.
Again Jan thought that the two
of them made an exceptional
couple, both so tall and good
looking and poised. And Ray did
not say one thing about her new
dress, not even later in the eve

dance. He had danced first with
Miss barrow. too. which had not
made Jan feel any more kindly
toward him.

- lovely new dress, purchased
so reluctantly among the "trouS-
seau" clothes which Eve had in
sisted upon, to wear at the an
nouncement party.
It really was a dream of a dress
sky blue tulle, yards and yards
in the bouffant skirt, with glitter
ing silver butterflies in the folds.
She had silver sandals for her
feet and a coronet of tiny silver
butterflies to crown her shining
hair. For once Jan would look as
feminine and as alluring as even
her mother could desire. And for
once Jan was perfectly willing to
look that way.
Eve had seen to it that the en-
tire setting for this event should
be the last word in romance. Gay
Japanese lanterns were strung
around the terraces; a platform
had been erected for dancing, and
in case the real moon would not
put in an appearance an artificial
one had been supplied.
ST wonder" Eve murmured to
Jan as they stood in the receiving
line, what can be keeping Ray?"
1t began to be an effort to keep
a stiff smile on her lips and her
arm began to ache from shaking
hands and still Ray and Bernice
did not arrive.
II cannot understand it," Eve
murmured, soto voce. again.
"Unless that redhead did this de-
liberately. No doubt she thinks
it's smart TO be late. She prob
ably wants to make a dramatic
entrance. She might remember
that this is your night, not hers!''
She broke off to welcome &
portly dowager, and it was at this
moment that Ray did arrive ano
that Miss Darrow made her en-

about its being an entrance.

Count Turf 81 Choice
With Battlefield 81
In Belmont Stakes
BY the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, June 16.-one OF
the most unpredictable Belmont
Stakes in many years is up for
decision today at Belmont Park,
with ten 3-year-olds headed by
Count Turf to take of in the
tough 1a-mile test Of the cham
pion.
Jack Amiel's Count Turf, the
Kentucky Derby king, was rated a
5-to-2 favorite in the 83d running
of the event, with the richest
purse at stake since the race was
inaugurated in 1867.
Unlike other years, when a Cita-
tion. an Assault. a Count Fleet or
"a Whirlaway had the 3-year-old
situation pretty well under control,
the sophomore picture as of now
still is pretty muddled.
The Derby Is Count Turf's only
stakes victory of the year, and
several of the turf experts are lean
ing toward George D. Widener's
Battlefield today. They feel that
the combination of the 1850 q
champion. now apparent
ly in sharp form, plus Jockey Ed
die Arcaro, will grab all the mar
bles Battlefield Is tabled at 3 6
l. although you can get a bet from
some he'll wind up the post-time
favorite.
If 10 start, and c. v. Whitney's
Mameluke with his sore legs was
questionable. the Belmont will
have at total value Of $119,100.
This would mean $83, 900 to the
winner. The previous record haul
was $4,000, won by Whitney's
Phalanx in 1947.
Adding to the interest was the
presence Of a filly. first to try for
the Belmont since 1882 when
w. r. Goes Laughing Queen fin
ished next to last in the race won
by Faireno. She is How, an aptly
named daughter of Princequillo-
The Squaw II, owned by Herman
