CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
"Hello!" said Dian.
"Hello, yourself!" said Bill. And
then, softly, "You look like a wonder-
derful illustration from an antebel-
lum novel!"
"Goodness, do I look that much out
of date!" Dian laughed" "You look
like something out of Esquire." She
took his arm. "Let's go!"
They went down the walk. Claire,.
sitting in the front seat of Paul's car,
peered out at them, "She would ap-
appear in a get -ftp like that," she
thought, "when I decided to turn out
in a sophisticated ,ensemble." Paul
peered out also.
"Gosh!" he said. "Dian Iooks darn-
ed sweet, doesn't she?"
"Sweet," said' Claire, "is just the
word. The more I see of her, the
more convinced I become that she's
the type of girl you' ought td carry off
to the West Indies."
Mrs. Lester was waiting to greet
the quartette when Dian, Bill, Paul
and Clair reached' the club.
"I'm going right away," she said,
fluttering about them. "I just stayed
long enough to see if you young peo-
ple like the way the table looked."
Dian glanced 'in the direction to-
ward which Mrs. Lester nodded. She
saw a table for four• placed in a.. con-•
spicuous place -and •also saw that it
as lovely.
"It's a dream, Mrs. Lester!" she
whom he had introduced to'Dian anti
Bill as "Mr. • and Mrs. Slnithers." I ..
was Dian thought, almost as though
he were saying to them, "Well,. you
can see for yourself what nice folk I
play around with."' Again her heart
warmed to him. •
"Jerome," she said, "maybe you
and Mr. Smithers would honor me by
dancing with me before the evening
is over."
Jerome was too astonished to
speak for a "moment. "Why, that's
very nice of you, Dian," he said.
"And," said Mr. Smithers, coming
to life, "the honor will be ours, young
lady. Eh, what, Mr. Cary?"
"Of course, Of course," said Jer-
ome expanding.
Bill caught .on. He, too, felt his
heart warming. "And while Dian's
dancing with the gentlemen," he said,
"I wonder if you ladies would • honor
me with a dance?"
"Gracious me," said .A.unt `Martha,
"all I do's the waltz -and not that
any too well."
"Bill's a wonderful leader," said.
Dian, squeezing his arm. "You'll do
fine." She turned' 'to Mrs. Smithers.
"You dance, don't you, Mrs..Smith-
ers?"
Mrs. Smithers also came to life. "I
love it!" she said. "My d'aughter's
been trying tot teach me to rumba."
"Marvellous!" said Dian. • "Do you
rumba, Bill?"
"After a fashion," said Bill, look-
ing more closely,, at Mrs. Smithers,
who was considerably overweight.
"But I'm sure Mrs. Smithers and I will
manage."
'Mrs. Smithers simpered. And then
Claire. and Paul joined them:
"Come on•," Claire said, "Paul and

"Oh, boy," said .Paul,' "you must

'11.47 " "We thank' you!" said' Dian. '
She saw her Aunt Martha entering
PM then, with Jerome and a somewhat
stiff -looking couple of middle age.
Jerome was wearing a tuxedo, . and
managed -to -loik exactly like.- what_
the movies thought a s'malltown bank-
er .looked like. But he did seerri to be
awfully pleased with Aunt Martha.
Dian's heart warmed: to' them - to
Jerome and her aunt. She caught
their eyes and, waved„
"Come on,"'she said, "let's go speak
P.M. to my aunt and Jerome. I feel my
Gir! Scout impulses coming to the
surface."
Bill smiled. "Darned if your ,aunt
isn't a remarkably handsome woman,""
he said.
"Just what 1 told her," Dian said.
And as they danced over to where
Jerome was seating his guests, she
said. "Do something for me, will you

Is it you want me to do?"'
"Tell Aunt Martha before Jerome
that she's a remarkably handsome wo-

"But won't that seema-a little pre.
sumptuous?"
4.35 "Paying a woman a compliment is
4.40 never presumptuous," said Dian, 'Be-

5.09 handsome woman', he might wake up."

only hope your Aunt Martha doesn't

A.M. Aunt Martha didn't. She loved,

Dian said, "So it's all settled, • is
it?"
"To hear'Paul talk, you'd think it
was," said Claire.
"Meaning it isn't?" Dian _wanted to
know.
"Just that -exactly," said Claire.
"And if you don't mind, do let's talk
about something else."
"A gond ideal" said Pill.
CHAPTER 'THIRTY-TWO
Claire smiled at him and said, "Let's
dance, Bill, before the next course is
served." "
"Let me.finish this last bite," Bill
said. "I may never again have any-
thing that tastes so good."
"Still thinking of the tummy, I
see," Claire ,said.
"Sorry, Claire - I'm afraid V am."
Bill pushbd back his ,chair. , `"All
right, let's dance."
When he had, led Claire out to the
dance floor, Paul turned to Dran.
'Want to .dance?" he asked.
"No, thanks," said Dian.
"Okay."
"You don't .sound' any too eager
yourself, Paul," Dian watched him as
he watched Claire. and Bill. "How
are things going?"
"They aren't. They seem to be at
a standstill."
"That's too bad."
"You've'not. been much help, Dian.
I thought you were going to keep Bill
occupied for. a couple of days."
"I tried.. I took hint to the farm
with me -and then he disappeared. I
understand he was with you and
Claire."
"He was -worse luck."
"I told you I didn't think I had what
it takes to get a man away from
Claire. After all, I can't lasso him,
can I?"
"You might try."
"Claire's evidently deoided to make
it a threesome instead of a foursome,"
Dian said. "She'd probably have
backed out on this date, if she could
have done it gracefully."
"No, she's got an idea she'll get a
better idea about Bill and me, seeing
us in 'society.' And Saturday she's
all set to see how we do at a picnic."
"Poor Paul!"'
"Do' you know what Claire said
when you come out of your house to-
night?"
"Something femininely catty, T im-
agine."
"She said She was. about convinced
that You're, the ,type of girl I should
take to the West Indies with me."
Ei allin?" Dian ehr�tggecl and smil-
ed. "What do you think?" t.
"I think you're a darned smell girl. '
'i
Dian," said Piaui. - "And 1 'think you'd,
like the sort of life' I have to .live. on
the islandd;' but-"
"But E'm not Claire," said Dian.
"That's it, isn't it?"
"I'm afraid it is," said Paul, "Men
are funny animals, I guesst"
"I .guess you're right," said Dian.
She saw Claire'smiling up into Bfll's
face, and thought 'things she dared
not voice.
Certainly not to Paul .- the man
who was determined to marry Claire,
or know the reason why.
And Bill and Claire danced on and
one -smoothly, perfectly, beautifully.
A couple so strikingly attractive --
Bill's dark handsomeness and Claire's
titian loveliness=that couples at
tables let their food grow cold
to watch, and couples that were danc-
ing missed step now and then. The
orchestra was playing "Remember the
Night," and Bill was remembering -
