seventh dance a moonlight waltz The whirling many colored globe lobe that had always seemed so garish arish to Julie before was lovely toO toO- night ight Now Farrells Farrell's face was red reCi reds redas as s the crimson light touched it now blue lue and there were queer patches on n the floor changing patches of or color color col- col or r like a dappled field of at bright flow- flow ers rs The music soft sort hardly audible at times mes Fritz Wengler was playing his vi violin lIn better this evening The high notes otes of it quivered off his bow Julie closed her eyes and for a mo mo-
