Sangster, THE SLIPPER OF RED BROCADE PART I, There conies a moment in a dance 1 when one hasee 11 enough- of it. Such a moment occurredh d e one night at about two o'clock, in the iniddle of, the ball which the Marchioness of Drimning was giving for her daugh- ter, Adeline. Drimning House is very large, occupying as it does the site of four houses in Curzon Street. But the acquaintanceship of the march -1 ioness would have been better suited by the Albert Hall; not only had she asked everybody slie had ever known, but a number of smaller dances in the course of . the night, removed themselves to Drimning House, while thirt - - gnt, with thein the reinforcement of the complete dinner parties they had at -1 ended that night. Thus the ball was pandemonium. Things went pretty well up to midnight, but then the clot- ting increased. At first there was little room - to go forward; then we grew reduced to turning round and round on the same spot; just before two o'clock, when I was partnering Lady Adeline, even this movement be- came impossible, and the ball—re- solved itself into one vast throb un- der intense heat. . We tried to step to , the fashionable "Waltz Me --to Dreamland," but at last Lady Ade- line informed me that she felt faint, which was .not remarkable, and I fought my way in football style through black coats and low-cut frocks, destroying as I went, many yards of georgette and charmeuse. Fortunately somebody else was en- titled to Lady Adeline; at least he said so, for I wi:l wager that no one could hear the band through the noise eight hundred people were niak the night ladies in flame -colored "broo cade playing with fox terriers in Cur- zon Street, "Spot!" said the woman, desperate- ly, "Jack, Jim, come here. Come here, doggie , .. oh, you devil." I smiled, for now the fox terrier, some little way off,was sitting down, wagging its tail vigorously; he had something in his mouth, The -woman seemed in dea'pair. She made t -help- less movement with her hands. Evi- dently she wanted to catch the dog; evidently, too, I must help her. I step- ped out of the archway, and, as I. so did, pausing uncertainly, she turned to me and said, "Oh there you are, No. 5 . I mean "Oh, 9. 'Do help me to catch this dog." I came for- ward, going toward the dog. No. 9? Why did she call me ,oto. 9? She must have expected me at this very spot. Meanwhile I made attractive noises to' the dog, who promptly danced about, full of excitement, mak- ing circles round both' of us: "Whyl" I cried "he's got a slipper in his mouth.'! "Of course he's got a- slipper. It's my slipper. It dropped off asI got out of the taxi, and this . . this this dog picked it up. And he won't give it me back." I strove to interest the dog, who joined in -the game with enthusiasm. Meanwhile my mindwas working; she had made a slip; she had called me No. 6, and only after that No, 9. That was because No. -5 was occupy- ing her brain. She must be No. 6. Anyhow, I'd risk it. It wouldn't do any. harm. So I. said: "It was care- less of you, No. 5." "I know it was," she said angrily. - They were strange, foreign -looking men, in ready-made clothes. ing. I caught a glimpse of the march- ioness, blockaded for the night in a corner; one of the tables of the buffet was upset with a crash by a rush of people wanting champagne.

Mean- while, after throwing a glance of disappointment becadse we would not go on with the game, the fox ter- rier had now settled a little way off; far from leaving the sipper, he was beginning to eat it.

Then, in the distance, we heard a clock strike the half hour. The woman trade a des- perate gesture "Too ;ate! We can't go after him now." I was just going to suggest finding Iter a taxi to drive her home, forget- ting the,peculiurities of the case, when from the four corners of Shep- herd's Market, detached themselves men. They were strange, foreign - :finking inn, in ready -trade clothes, except one, who, like ourselves, was dressed in fashionable garb. When they were quite close, the woman in a low tone remarked: "No. 6." • The men were staring at me. So, determined to. see this to the end, I murmured: "No. 9." "Right" said` one of the men in a low tone, "Now, do you mind."
