enough and she knew it. But beside her
own face in the mirror she saw T the image
of Jule Davies and envied her. Jule's little
plumpish cheeks which looked like a squir
rel's full of nuts, were daubed ridiculously
with artificial circles of rouge. Jule's eyes,
blinking at themselves in the mirror, were
slightly protruding, and her eyelashes were
heavy with kohl. But that did not matter,
Carolyn knew that Jule, in her straight

Carolyn pretended to rouge a bit—Just
to stretch out the time, before she had to
go out into the ballroom. The music was
already playing. Little phrases of it—repe
titions—accents—echoed in the dressing
ro ,°m- ,
"Foster s orchestra—O, wonderful music,"
said one of the girls, swaying a little on
her feet, and Carolyn began to sicken with
anticipation of the next three hours. The
lump of fear was ^already swelling in her
throat, and as long as it was there she
knew she had no place here. She was
afraid that she hated herself fc.r her two
edged fear, for one edge was contempt of
th® things that she feared and the other
was desire for them.
"Pretty dress, Carrie," said Rose Harris,
sllding up to her. Much as she hated the
diminutive of her name, Carolyn was grate
ful for the largesse of attention. She could
smell the gin on Rose's breath. Rose had
come from a dinner party, of course, and
was exaggerately vivid. It was she who
led the young married crowd and thç just
about to be married crowd, the group to
which Carolyn did not quite belong, and
yet she had to assume that she belonged
to it when invitations drifted her way.
"It's a love of a dress and yon look
darling in it, Rose went on. "1 haven't

Carolyn shook her head. It had all the
not social occasions of pleasure deftly ar
ranged so that all the guests might share
it, but competitions for popularity and
gaiety. Long before the end of the evening
Mrs. Myrr would have forgotten she was
a hostess and be competing, too, tonight.
But Carolyn's mother had smiled at her
engraved card^and said: "That's very nice

Carol J n protested: "She's just got a list
girls to fill in—to make the background
of her dance. There's nothing personal-"
"O, Carrie, that's rather ungracious. Why,
I used to know the first Mrs. Myrr very
well-"
'Ah, but the second-" sighed Carolyn.
No, her parents had no Idea of the
immense technique of dances, of the neces
sity of pepping up with a little gin if you
were to compete with people whose eyes
were brightened and muscles loose and
tongues gay past the point of being witty
and up to the point of absurdity. To be
sure, Ned Allardyce had offered her
drink. He had said that he and his wife
had mixed a little drink or two. Would

the dance?

fat Ned Allardyce.
She saw her cousin Grace coming with
him now out of the bridge room where they
had doubtless been fixing up a fast game
for later in the evening. Grace Allardyce
came along confidently. Hers was a dif
ferent sort of confidence from that of Rose
Harris—not one of charm or desirability
but of safe establishment. The Allardyce
fortune trotted along beside her, still be
lieving that his wife's plump white arms
and thickening face were the acme of
beauty. They both smiled at Carolyn, of
whom they were very fond.
As Grace often said, if Carrie weren't so
quiet she ought to make an awfully good
marriage, with her (ace. Carolyn was pretty

on Carolyn the need ul a little more pep,

Ned to break up his game and sandbag
another man for her. No, she'd hare to face
it. Maybe Lorrle Bennett would come over
when he saw her sitting there—maybe he
was waiting for a chance.
The music started, and as if by black
magic people melted away from either sidè
of Carolyn. In five minutes she felt totally
exposed, sitting stark alone against the
wall. Fiercely she took herself in hand
mentally. This didn't matter. Why
shouldn't she sit here and enjoy the light
and music and the lovely dresses? Why
need she be a fool about sitting out a
dance? Reasonably she ought to. enjoy it.
These were her friends. Every one here
who knew her liked her. It was an acci
dent. And still it was not easy. It was far
from easy. She knew that no reason pre
vailed against the fact that she was in
the middle of a group which had its own
customs and that according to those cus
toms she ought to be dancing.
Across the room in the doorway stood
some men. They were the test. If none of
them came to ask her to dance, she was
almost openly rejected. Among them, with
his keen, alert, handsome face scanning
the dancers, stood Lorrle Bennett. Why,
thought Carolyn' in very decency he must
come and ask me to dance.

Carolvn sat trluefl to the wall 8he im
agined bv this 5 time that everv one was

she was only twenty-four and had k fine
position; that ai Bennet'e they thought
she was wonderful with the girls; that she
was thought highly of bv the partners in
the firm. David Lansing'liked her, and he
was a real man. As for Lorrie Bennett, who
imagined that every girl was in love with
him, with his conceit and vanity, who was
he anyhow? Only the nephew of a success
m ®n. A weakling! But nothing helped,
The music danced and rattled and cajoled
an d mocked. Flagrantly it left Carolyn out.
When it finally stopped, things were as
had as ever. She had to make her way
.across the room to the dressing room and
r est for a minute, away from the glare and
^ ex P° snres of ballroom. She looked in
the P la ss and saw a pretty brown haired
in a peach pink satin dress. She was
P»tty-but prettioess didn't count at a

After the music started again, she went

But there were encores and encores and

: and she was out to enjoy it. Carolyn sat
I down. It was too awkward to try to reach
the door through this dancing Jam. Better
I to wait trying to look as if she were
amused at a frolic.
But though it was so crowded certain
couples, certain individuals seemed to be
always bobbing up before Carolyn's eyes.
Jule Davies was with Lauren Bennett now,
and from her dancing Carolyn Judged she
must have had more than a drink or two.
Carolyn felt that all these people were in
another world. It was impossible while you
were reasonable and while your mind
worked clearly to bridge the gap between
her world and theirs.
Jule saw her and, passing, leaned down.
She spoke in her sharp, high, excited-voice,
intent on making her bon mot, and getting
her laugh, oblivious to everything but the
prick of a smart idea,
"Still unkissed and sober, Carrie?"
The flicker of a smile came In Lauren's
eyes, then died down. But Carolyn did not
see it die. They had swirled away, and she
was pushing her way around the edge of
the crowd, fury in her mind.
If she had stopped tc see herself in the
mirror, she would have known how much
anger improved her looks—how the sugges
tion of tonelessness disappeared. Mr. Myrr,
meeting her in the hallway, stopped her to
tell her how well she was looking and bow
much he thought of her father. But Carolyn
hardly heard him. She passed him with def
initely directed hatred.
The colored woman no longer bothered
her. Why should she care for a colored
attendant when this was her last dance,
when never, never would she be caught out
of her role again? She swung her cape
aroupd her and scribbled a line to be given
to Mrs. Âllardyce. A moment later she was
out of the house in the black softness of
the night, which gave her shelter so much
more than the house of hospitality. At the
corner she found a vacant taxicab and went
home in that. As the cab passed lighted
corners stray loafers or wanderers had a
glimpse of a beautiful girl in a white
furred cloak sitting romantically alone in
the corner and, possibly, speculated on her
rendezvous.
The rendezvous was bed. Carolyn un
dressed quickly, hanging her evening
clothes far back in her wardrobe under
their dress covers, putting her slippers
distastefully in their cases and out of sight.
Out of sigjit with everything that had
helped to make her evening so sickening!
Out of sight and out of mind, she imped,
as she laid out the clothes she would wear
tomorrow, the green Jersey dress and gray
suede oxfords. They looked so cleau, these
working clothes, so clean and happy.

Law Passed at Last Legislature Ex

Reyn Leedom Points Out; Billings
Complies With Provisions
Because of the numerous inquiries re

Commerce as to what that city is doing
to obtain the proposed new state normal
school, Reyn Leedom. secretary, has
investigated the matter and found that
under chapter 160 of the session laws

Great Falls is barred from considera

shall be east of the 110th meridau, while
Great Fails is west of it.
Mr. Leedom has also found that the
selection of Billings as the location of the
school, by a commission appointed by the
state hoard of education, assumes the
status of law, as chapter 160 has made
optional with the state board to select the
site or to delegate this to a commission.
The other provisions of the statute have
been compiled with, one of which is that
