Paint Scales—Bills! | TamI T The Cedar river was in prime con- dition for skating, and the young peo- ple tor miles arougd were tak- ing advantage of 800d ice and moonlight to enjoy the merry winter sport. The river above the dam a - oot flugg uko t.n floor of dia- monds, Keeping abreast of the times, the couples were skating the one-step, the hesitation, the fox trot and many other trots they had learned to step offt on the dancing floor. Barbara Hamilton had been invited to join a skating party, and she had accepted the invitation with alacrity, for if there was one thing she had always done well it was to skate. She stood alone near the bank of the river watching the members of her party do all sorts of dance steps she had never even heard of either on the ice or off. She had tried to skate with one or two of the young men, but when they found her starting off in the good old- fashioned gliding motion they were surprised and made apologies and ex- cuses, and did not ask her again. “Oh, Barbara,” cried her 'hostess, stopping in the midst of an intricate one-step variation, “don’t you skate?” Barbara forced a laugh. “I have skated all my life, but I've never danced on the ice,” she said. “I'm sorry—so sorry. I never thought to ask you,” young Mrs. Holt said. “Perhaps Miss Hamilton would be one of the judges in the competition,” suggested the pleasant-faced young man with Mrs. Holt. “Oh, would you, Holt asked, quickly. “If 1 could, gladly,” Barbara replied. “George Mason is to be one,” the young man went on. “May I present him?” nt scal dan ‘MOIFS’:JUI'C seepse tllxsr:ugh 5? p cracks, decays.

"“Shall we skate as we please and defy convention?" he asked. For answer Barbara turned and crossed her arms, giving him her right hand in his right under her left arm and they swayed away together. As they skated against the cold, sharp wind, getting nearer and nearer the strains of music, their conversa- tion grew less animated. It was enough that they were together in this glorfous crisp air on so perfect a night, and neither one seemed to find it necessary to speak. They were pounced upon veritably by Mrs. Holt and her partner when they skated into the little group near the bank. 1 “Where were you?” Mrs. Holt asked. “We've looked everywhere, George,” where You can get the most for the money. grocery of TW[[D[ PHONE 59 _ added the young map, who was still Mrs. Holt's partner. “Too bad,” Mason said, Hamilton and I have been taking a bracer, an old-fashiened turn up the river and back. Where do we stand?” “Over by the musiclans,” Mrs. Holt remarked. “And do your Dest—it's so exciting,” she gushed. “We will,” Barbara returned, skat- ing off beside George Mason. “I guess we can tell grace when we see it,any- way—even if we are antiques,” she laughed. “l1 can—I've already given the prize in my own mind,” the man laughed. “That’'s not fair,” Barbara replied, though she knew well what he meant. After that they gave their attention to the figures and elected the couples who seemed most deserving of the trophies. Mrs. Holt and her young partner were not among the prize win- ners, for both Barbara and her col- league decided that their steps were too exaggerated for grace. “And yet I'd llke to give them a prize,” Mason said. “Why?” asked Barbara. 'Becaule they introduced me to |you ’ he sald, shamelessly. “O—h!"” Barbara said, comprehen- sively. The trophies were presented at the little supper party at the home of Mrs. Holt, and at it Barbara and Geor;s Mason sat side by side and talked to i no one but each other and thought of | no one but each other.
