( SLONG PoP/ & I Sy N | |ONE OFF SYNOPS! The marquesa, hoping to prevent a love af- fair bctwesn Juaniia and Kirk Stanard or Adrian Fcuche, tells Kirk’s grandmother, Nelly Be- laice, and Adrian’s mother that the girl is engaged to a Span- jard. Juanita, though posing as Sencrita Flores, is unaware of this deception and of the mar- quesa’s plan to rob their new friends. She falls in loye with Kirk, who tells their hostess, Nelly, they are engaged. At Adrian’s shore dinner, the guests talk of mysterious veiled cigarette girl in Divitl New Crlcans gambling parlors, whom Eric Ledbetter calls “Mocn of Delight.” They do not know that she is that girl, ferced by Div- itt into her present deceptive role. Happily, Ledbetter, who once had lifted her veil sud- denly and kissed her, is not present. WHAT DOES KIRK KNOW? Juanita’s eyes were on the mar- quesa and the crowd gathered around her in the gay atmosphere of Steve's place. Moon of Delight . . . Divitt's—she could not put the thoughts aside. But someone was breaking into| them. It was Emmy Jean, who had oome to Adrian’s party with young Berry. She was leaning toward Jua- nita, her earrings swinging each side of her small, pale face. She had lig limpid eyes that shone a cl green like aquama- rines. Juanita found herself won- dering what the world must look like through such clear eyes. “Isn't Phyllis Carver awful,” said Bmmy Jean, cringling her lashes, “pringing up the Moon before Nai- da Preston and Dick?

A voice called, |“Look out, Lochinvar! You'll both get wet!"” It was Dick Preston danc- |ing with the marquesa. The mar- |quesa did not even look at them.
