Derek quarrels with Johnny for being “crude and rude” and of- fers to take Jan out himself. Johnny invites Rose instead,. Chapter 16 Dancing Feet DEREK tapped on her door and she met him smiling. Arm in arm they went down the stair- ‘way, Jan’s head triumphantly high as she passed Johnny. “Im going dancing with Derek,” she called gaily to Lance and Norma. When they entered the huge dim ballroom which stretched out over the ocean, she threatened: #Tll probably stumble and step all over you.” He grinned down at her and drew her bright head against the lapel of his coat and danced her} out onto the long, polished floor. He danced smoothly and well and after a minute or so Jan found herself following him easily enough. By the third dance their constraint lifted to the extent of experimenting with a rhumba. She nearly slipped, he caught her, and they laughed extravagantly. Couples around them performed amazing gyrations to the tune of “Dipsy Doodle,” swinging apart, then together, whirling, back- bending; tap dancing, shuffling. “Gosh, I feel old and out of date,” Derek deprecated his abili- ~ “Think we could do some of t stuff if we practiced?” “They give free lessons here ‘once'a week.’ “Let’s come? It might be fun.” “Love to,” she smiled, happy. They sat out one dance and sipped root beez at the green mar- ble soda fountain. “Im practically a plutocrat,” he announced. “I earned fifteen dollars this week, I bought clothes, and I still have fifty cents.” “I didn’t think you’d stick the job. Her blue eyes twinkled at im over the top of her frosted “Neither did I, frankly. I don’t Tike it and I still don’t believe in work, but I’ve iearned one thing from you and that is, to pay my own way. This is the first money I ever earned in my life. You know, it’s a queer thing, but money you earn at hard manual labor has an entirely different touch and quality than money somebody else gives you.” She couldn’t resist asking, “Still wish I hadn’t pulled you out of the ocean?” Then immediately wished she had resisted, for the carefree smile left his face and it closed to her. He set down his mug and stood up. “I still wish you hadn't. I feel as if I’m living on time borrowed. Mostly I try not to think at alk” “Oh, Derek, I’m sorry. I thought maybe—maybe you'd changed.” “Let’s dance, he said. She hoped his former mood would return with musie and movement, but it didn’t. A little moods, and from what Norma said, this was a very bad one. She lay awake in the darkened room, unable to sleep. She heard Derek come in and climb the lad. der to the roof. If he went aw: now, she thought. Td get over Pd get over this smothering, wishy-washy ae every time ing he’d kiss me again. It can’t be love. It’s the mystery, the curi- osity, the attraction of something | unknown. If I knew all about him he’d be just—no, it isn’t so and I know it. I'm slipping into the same boat with Norma, falling in love with a man whose heart doesn’t know I exist! Dozing off to sleep a long time later she came wide awake when the door below banged open. Rose, laughing stridently, could be - heard all through the house. “Too many cocktails,” Jan thought, not caring much. Then she heard Lance opening his door and wheeling himself into the hall- way. “Rose,” he called urgently. “Rose!” Jan crept out of hed and openers her door a crack. Rose, reeling a little, leaning on the balustrade, swayed up the stairs to Lance. “H’lo, darling,” she pouted. “Poor li'l Rose had too many sidecars.” “Where is Johnny?” “Car. Putting the car away. So much fun, honey. Lotsa fun.” Lance reached out fiercely and grabbed her wrists, pressing the heavy metal bracelets into her flesh. “I hate to see you this way, Rose,” he said. “Did you come straight home from a night club? You—you didn’t stop anywhere?” ‘Kiss Me, Rose’ OSE became sickeningly coy. “Now, what would ya say if I said yes, huh? What’wouldya say?” exploded. “Ummm...” she swayed back- ward and forward like a lazy pen- dulum. “Well, I didn’t, so there. Johnny’s all right, but not hand- some like my incey. Honey, you're hurting my wrists. Please let go my wrists, honey boy.” “Kiss me, then,” he ordered. “Kiss me, Rose.” Jan, watching, shuddering, saw Rose twine her arms about his |meck, Jan hesitated only a mo- ment, then she padded into the hall, lifted Rose and half-carried, half-dragged her into her room, | stretched her out on the bed and | pulled the quilts up over her. |.

Here, let me slip this jacket over your shoulders. ’ “It’s Lance,” Norma w red, | cfatching at Jan’s hand. He was| furious when Mrs. Cornwall went out with Johnny.

Vaguely, yet clearly enough to know it was not imagination, she remembered the scene in the hallway with Lance. Johnny’s fault, she decided, he'd insisted | on her mixing her drinks. Should have known better, Rose, my bonny lass! "Member the last time, rather the first time, you experi- mented that way? It gypped you | out of a nice, solid fortune. Making a wry face she strug- }gled up, held her whirling head a moment, then observed the | wrinkled mess of fuchsia-colored | crepe that had been an expensive j evening gown. Taking it off over her head she reflected she should be grateful to whomever it was, Jan most likely, for putting her in | bed and covering her up and pull- ing off her velvet sandals. How |that forthright, unsophisticated youngster must despise her. Stripping off all her clothing, donning a satin robe, Rose push her heavy black hair off her face, pinned it back, and rubbed a thick layer of pink cold cream, scented and expensive, into her skin.
