CHAPTER 18
HOWARD MARSH had many*
friends. They came over to his corner
table. It wan obvious that they came
to be Introduced to Lillian—and it
f|i obvious that Howard enjoyed
presenting them to her.
Every man who came over asked
Lillian for a dance.
And after receiving a nod from
Howard several times when asked
she began accepting their Invitations
without looking over at her escort.
Most of them danced well. Some
Os them held her too tight. Some of
them smelled of liquor.
One named Donald asked: “What’s
your phone number, baby?”
She pretended not to hear.
"Got a late date tonight?” he per
sisted.
“No!” snapped Lillian.
“Well, you have now. We'll step
Ollt—after you’re through here."
What did he mean? After she was
through?
"Don't spill it to Howard Marsh.
You’re his date. I know; But when
be takes you home I'll telephone you,
see?"
The music stopped then and Lillian
was grateful.
She hurried back to the table where
Howard Marsh sat. She didn't wait
for her partner to pull out her chair.
Bhe loathed him and the familiar way
he held her while they danced.
Lillian busied herself with the de
licious lobster on her plate. She
kept her face averted. She didn’t
Want Howard to see that she was
angry, humiliated. He couldn’t see
the twist of her red lips and the
angry, thoughtful expression In her
dark eyes
"Are you enjoying yourself?” he
asked pleasantly.
"The music is wonderful. I’m hav
ing a grand time,'* she forred en

it wasn’t exactly forced. She was
having a grand time, there with him.
She liked him. She was drawn to
him. She felt there was something
likable about him—and the woman
to her craved for more proof that he
•Iso was attracted.
Lillian was not yet aware of her
power. She had no Idea of how to
Imploy the vast power of her dark
beauty.
But this was a novelty to Howard
Marsh.
Ills air of worldlness, his hand
some wholesomeness had brought
girls clustering about him. His win
. ning personality had done much to
make him a success as a New York
hotel manager.
Here was a girl who liked him but
had no cunning. Her eyes were fresh

fll« her a chance. Anyway, tt was a
job, and jobs were bard for a girl to
find in New York.
There had been one thing worrying
him. Could she take care of her
self?
He had watched young Donald
dancing with her. He had a fairly
accurate Idea of what had been said.
"I liked the way you handled Don.”
he said to Lillian out of a clear sky.
Lillian looked her surprise.
“I liked the way you held your
poise. Everything under control."
"I—l didn't think you noticed—•
“l noticed."
Shf felt somehow rewarded.
"Wculd you like some wine?” he
asked.
"No—but don't let me atop you. I
never drink."
"Good.” he said.
"Why do you say that?" Lillian
asked. “You said that when I re
fused your cigarettes, too."
'"lt's a good thing you don’t smoke
or drink. I think so. anyway. I
wouldn’t want you to work for me If
you dk) either. You’re too young for
that sort of thing."
"What kind of work could I aver
do for you. Mr. Marsh ?” Lillian won
dered.
"Ah—never mind that."
"But I’m terribly curious— *
He looked at her through partly
closed eyes, as If he were thinking
things he would not say.
“What do you think when you look
at me like that?*’ she asked, smiling
acroaa at him.
“That you shouldn't have come—"
ha answered, strangely serious.
"I don't understand—"
"You shouldn’t have come to New
York. You're too young. Too fresh.
You don’t know what life In a big city
meane for a girl—alone."
"Oh, I aay—" Lillian scolded. Tm
not a child. You make me feel as if
you were my meanest uncle putting
me on tbs carpet"
"When I called you this morning
to come to my office I had an Idea
that was what you needed—to be put
on the carpet Rather, on the train
and sent home. Or—"
"Or back to school. Is that itr*
Lillian chimed In.
"Yes. that's It But—well, a man
doesn't always do what he believes
beat when a girl la pretty—"
“I almost thanked you."
"A friend of mine- la coming over.
I’d Uke for you to dance with him."
he said In a low voice.
The friend came. He was a clean

didn’t talk much. The music was
fast and the floor was crowded.
Lillian wished that Howard Marsh
would dance with her Instead of mak
ing her feel she must dance with all
of his friends. She was much more
interested In him than hie friends.
She observed the girls dancing
around her. They were made up Ittaa
actresses. Tbeir eyes were hard and
bold- Their mouths were like gaudy
bits of painted cardboard.
They danced close to their partners.
Too close, Lillian thought.
The blonde young man with whom
she danced drew her a little closer.
Lillian pulled back. He didn't say
anything but he looked at her with
questioning eyes. Then he smiled. A
bored sort of smile.
Neither of them said anything
then. Lillian thought how strange
everything seemed in New York.
The people were so wise, so bored.
They weren't really having a good
time. They Just pretended. They
Juat went through the motions of a
good time
But somehow when she returned to
the presence of Howard Marsh there
seemed to be merriment In ths place.
Bhe accepted thanks from tbe
blonde young man, who soon de
parted, going to another table near
them and asking another girl for a
dance.
“You aren’t having a good time, arw
you?" she asked Howard, whs had
been sipping wine, looking over the
crowd Indifferently while she danced.
"Why don’t you think so?"
"Well, you aren’t dancing—and you
sit here alone while I dance with your
friends"
He reached across the table and
patted her hand.
“Shall we go, then?” he asked.
"Yes—ls you like."
As they were leaving and Howard
was getting his overcoat from the
check girl Sherron. the manager,
came over. "Tomorrow nlcrht.” he
said, his eyes taking In both Howard
and Lillian.
"All right." Howard Marsh an
swered. Then, to Lillian he said, as
Sherron turned to go: "You'd like to
come again tomorrow night, wouldn’t
you Y’
Lillian said she would There
didn't seem to be any reason not to
come. But she sensed something she
could pot understand
She couldn't exactly term It fear.
But it wp* strange. Muyhe K was
just New York maybe it was
because Howard bad danced only once
with her and her vanity was*» little
nicked. But he hud asked her ts
come again the next night. •'
