But she was shocked when Zanie asked for a highball. “I think I'll take on a li'l alphabet soup, too,” Skip waved a skinny arm | et the waiter. “From the A. B. C.| store!

She didn't think it was fair for us not to learn. There was quite a row with the Board of Di- yectors when she decided we should, though.” “She must be rather a remarkable of a pump handle jiggling up and down. this a dance or a bad case of St. Vitus?” She stiffened herself against the New Yorker's onslaught. «“If this is dancing, give me a fit.” Skip laughed with fiendish delight and changed to an even more exas- perating tempo. “you'll love it when you get used to me,” he assured her with a tighter squeeze. “With an armful like you, Sugar Baby, I could dance all night.” “Over my cold remains” Sugar said savagely. “Do you know why I'm mean to you, Gorgeous?” “I hadn’t noticed you were mean to me. know how to be a gentleman.” “Wow!” Skip laughed a little weak- ly. “That's hittin’ right to the bull’s- eye, Friddle Dee Dee. But I'm goin’ to tell you why I'm mean to you, any- way. It's 'cause the minute I saw you I was goofy about you. Old Man Lanier loveth whom he chasteneth. Get it? women if I love 'em.” “My, how my little heart is beating,” Sugar smiled sarcastically. “The great Lanier has fallen for my charms.” Skipper bent over her head as if he were going to kiss her and Sugar looked around quickly to see where person,” Scoop decided. “You must take me to meet her some of these | days. Or would she approve of me?” | “Oh, yes; she'd love you for being €0 good to me. I told her all about you in a big, long letter.” Sugar lost herself in the music Scoop was an excellent dancer and, in spite of his new steps, dancing with him seemed easy. She was sorry when it was over and Skip asked her | to dance. He held her in a viselike grip and bent her back until she was sure she would be permanently bowed. It made it necessary to look up into his long face, and she hated iis big teeth and wide, asinine grin. She wondered what Zanie Lou could see in him even if he would Inherit a million dollars some day. “You sure know your Friddle cakes when it comes to the lcrpsxchore,"; Skip grinned as he went into a so- called dance that made Sugar think Zanie Lou and Scoop were. “Don’t be a fool!” She pulled away from him. “If you must insult me, at least try to be a gentleman now, since | | you came with Zanie Lou.” “But I won't be comin’ with her | any more if you say the word.” Skip | lowered his head to breath in her ear. “You got what it takes to hold me, Sug. I'm lookin’ for greener pas- tures, Red-head. I'm gettin’ awful | bored with Zanie. How about sneakin’ | out next Thursday night?” | Sugar wrenched herself away sav- agely. “You're worse than you look.” Her brown eyes shot sparks. ‘“‘And believe me, that's plenty bad!" She was grateful when the music | stopped and they walked back to the | table. Skipper’s answer was drowned in the rustle of the crowd. But the smirk had not left his face.

And suddenly Zanie was seized with an unreasoning fit of jealousy. She| was shrewd enough to know from Sugar's attitude that she was not| making a play for Skip. But it in- furiated her that her pet catch found some one else attractive. It had started out as a lark and an excuse to get & close-up of Scoop. But may- be it had been a mistake. | Zanie Lou decided on the best | course to pursue. She would make a | play for the older man and try to make Skipper jealous. | But she only succeeded in making herself obvious, and in amusing Scoop | and Sugar. Sugar’s feminine intui- | tion told her why Zanie Lou insisted on the next dance with Scoop, and | why later she gazed at him lovingly, | hanging on his every word through- | out dinner. the way home when Skip spent most | of his time leaning from the rumble | seat yelling his idea of smart jibes at Sugar. She would have much pre- | ferred having him make love to her, | even at the risk of shocking Sugar. | It was the first time he had ever failed to try to convince her of his undying | devotion after a couple of highballs. | Zanie felt frustrated, and | thought of going home in that mood | | made her panicky.

All| the girls were crazy about him be- | cause he was rich and from New Yorka| Suddenly she had an idea. | “Oh, I know what we'll do,” she | leaned over and yelled to Scoop. “Let’s go to Sid Patchen's house. There’s lalways a crowd and I want you to meet him. It'll be something for you to do while you're in Lorien.” | “What do you say?” Scoop turned | to Sugar. “I—guess it’s all right,” she looked | & little uncertain. “If you're sure we wouldn't be imposing.” “Not on old Patch,” Zanie Lou as- sured them. “Four more people more or less won't make any difference in the mob that clutters up his place.” | “Maybe he doesn't like orphans,” | Sugar offered facetiously, but felt a | little sinking sensation at the idea of crashing into society. Suppose Mrs. | Le Masters should be there. “Don’t you dare feel ihat way about | yourself.” Scoop turned to her with concern on his sunburned face. “Now I know we'll go.” Sugar felt reassured. If Scoop | thought it was all right to go it must be. Anyway, they couldn't any more than snub her.

Zanie Lou didn't even trouble to ring the bell. She burst in and made her way through a long room filled with people to a smaller room. “This is the bar,” Zanie whispered, and hailed a tall, dark, good-looking man behind the rail. “Hi, Patch. I brang my gang.” ‘When Sugar hesitated Zanie put an arm around her and pulled her to the bar. “This is Miss Friddle, from New York.” She turned to Scoop at her elbow. “And this is Mi.

I'll pick you out some night and surprise you, beautiful lady.” “Oh, I'm not an actress,” Sugar saw the light, “if that’s what you mean by a professional. I guess you'd call me just a home girl.” She felt she should tell him she wasn't from New York. And that she was only a nursemaid in the Le Mas- ters house. But she wondered if it would be fair to Zanie Lou to spoil her little game. Patch put his arm around her and she drew away. I must go soon.
