men, brawny cricket and tennis
playelw, and It seemed as 11 each
and every one of them was bent on
flavin; at least one dance with her.
"Enjoying yourself, infant?" ask
ed Eileen' in passing, witil her com-
ically elderly air.
"Belaying myself!" echoed Garda.
"Wiou've no idea. I. didn't know that
being a stymies, even ire aS.er1•al
way, could be 'so intoxicatingly
wonderful."
"You're being a serosas all right,"
laughed Eileen,
"Itis leo extraordinary, leaving

Gerclti un'eelham'edgy, "I'm just -loving
.it. Es my 'hair keeping all right?"
"Lovely," Eileen+ assured her.
"Don't forget we're all to meet at
supper. We've got a table ,saved.'
To 'Cinderella -Garda it seemed
that the dance had scarcely started
'before it was ' 'slipper time, She
looked up at Dick SS1llwyn with
candid diealpproval when he resolute-
ly •eiiouldered a would-be partner
out of tike way, announced that the
rest of lilueir party were waiting and
would .she please 'berry up.
"Already?' she queried, her lovely
grey eyes 'sweeping past him with
Kn'-insiiiting laok of interest.
"Aleady," he returned .firmly.
Theystarted decorously. on their
way to ffhe ,supper•room when Dick
unexpectedly eaught her by the
elbow,
"1'f :I tell yen the only thing that
brought me to this dance was: the
oPpoetu'nity of meeting you, I sup-
pose you •wou'idm't believe ane?" he
said, his, black head bent to the level
of hers.
Gerda ,stared' at him.
"I would not Ibelivee you," she
declared bluntly, ,
"Well, I did," he told her curtly.
"For that end for nothing else. I
happened to be with Skinner when
the fellow who was coarsing with. him
wired that he'd got 'flu and I ,made
him bring me."
." W.hv?" demanded the still incredu-
lous Gerda.
"I had an unconefortalble convic-
tion that I lead not shown 'myself to
you in a very good light the once
we did meet,' he replied.
"But you had," Gerda irrepressib-
ly, jumped at the chance. "You
were quite the little' gentleman, as
I' -m. sure you always are""
',same day somebody will bang
you over •the 'bead with a stick if
you talk like th!at," snamped Dick,
lee eyes furious,. No girl he'd' ever
meet had. been able to put him out of
temper like this girl. Please
dont take that tone with ane,"
"Then don't try and make up to
me simply because I've :hadmy hair
waved and for the first time in my
lite ••'ave gat on a frock that isn't
a nightmare," flashed back the
dauntless, Gerda, and she would

ftivniy_ by Ube arm and 'compelled
.her to shop.
"You're talking like a kid of live,"
he muttered' •scathingly.
And you," she retorted Promptly,
her bright head with the lovely
"wind-blown" effect held high,
Orr stol'n1y eyes staring straight
into his, "You—and by 'you' I 'mean
you and all the othe1181 who have
teen crowding round me tonight—
you're all acting like beastly little
males, of 'sdbooboy's. You, not one of
You, would have baked twice at me
if I ,hadn't got on• a nice frock and
am looking rather nice in' it, or if I'd

voice broke a little. "I !hate you for
reminding me of that otter horrible
time, Til go all gooseflesh and cold

evening. I want to forget it for
even' and ever." -
Slhe shipped from his hold and
drapped into her place at the table,
which held' •sirs: IS1lentdy Dirk fol-

beside her. Fon the next ' three-

The first person the three girls
