She had always wanted to go the dub and now, when Jim Warfleld had invited her; there was & lump in her throat and a pain about her heart. "You look very sweet," Mrs. Waring said, coming into the room and surveying Joan with approving eyes. ""She liked the simple, black gown that made her slim girl look even slimmer, admired ad-mired the way the cloudy hair was drawn back simply, admired Joan's red lips and gray-blue eyes. A few minutes later Joan met Jim's approving glance and It was a bit of balm-to her sore, young heart. They reached the hotel and made their way to the mezzanine floor. Jim nodded carelessly to several acquaintances, greeting " friends more warmly. He checked their wraps and guided Joan toward to-ward the Italian room. -She thought the scene" was like fairyland. Colored lights under little glass squares . on the loor gleamed softly in contrast with the dresses of gorgeously gowned girls, floating in the arms of men in Informal evening attire, Waiters Wait-ers in bright coats moved swift- , ly about the tables. Hie room seemed to be swimming in color. It J was dazzling, glamorous. - jv Jim, leaning across the table, said, 'You don't know how sweet you look in that black dress. Joan. Like a little nan in a room full of nymphs and drlads." He added. There comes Weston Wes-ton and the dazzling Barbara, " spreading disaster in the guise of sweetness and light. What a fool Weston is!" V Joan looked towsd the door. ' 'Barbara, Just a little in front of her party, was standing in the , doorway. There was always something some-thing dramatic, spectacular about Barbara's entrances and exits.

"I like him tremendously." tremendous-ly." "In that case," Bob said, "perhaps "per-haps it would be better not to tell you what I think of him." "It would certainly be better," Joan agreed. She was1 silent after that, afraid to trust her voice. The music stopped and Joan and Bob moved to her table, staring star-ing coolly at each othersmiling politely into each other's eyes. Another dance. A waltz this time. It was exciting, sweet. Joan was shaken to find that she could enjoy the dance so In spite of the pain and humiliation she had known. At the end of the third dance Jim was still missing. Joan said stiffly, "I'm terribly sorry. You must be wanting to return to your friends. Don't you think you should take me to my table and join them?" Bob answered, 'Don't be a fool, Joan." He added, "There's your friend now wobbly as usual. If you like I'll drive you home." "No thanks," Joan told him. "It was nice ef you to play rescuer." res-cuer." She gave him a wan little smile. Bob stared at her, unsmiling. unsmil-ing. Then,- with a curt nod to-Jim, to-Jim, he walked away. Jim's inflamed eyes pled for lenience. "Joan, I'm' a souse. Co ahead .and say it! I forgot you, Joan ran into some fellows " "Let's start now and quarrel afterward," Joan said. "Guess we'd better," Jim said quickly. "We'll take a taxi." But Joan didn't quarrel. She sat in one corner of the cab while Jim, slumped in the other side. explained, - growing voluble under the mellow influence of liquor. About some fellows he had gone to school with. They had a motto, mot-to, "Drink while ye may. Who knows if in the next world there'll be taverns?" Explaining, explaining. ex-plaining. TV7HILE Joan was dancing in the " bright and beautiful Italian room Pat was in vastly different surroundings. Slightly uneasy, ashamed yet curious, she looked about and found the general ap pearance of the interior of the roadhouse less disturbing than she had imagined. Shaded colored col-ored lights on the walls . . . mirror panels . . . flowers on the tables. But closer inspection of the men and women about ' those tables was alarming. Eyes were red-lined or coldly hard. Each table had its supply of bottles and glasses. Sometimes a man's arm was thrown familiarly about his feminine . companion. Some of them xwere sprawling in their chairs, others leaning on the tables. All of them looked unkempt, un-kempt, mannerless. Their laugh ter was shrill and unpleasant. Jerry produced a flask from a pocket. What'll you have?" he asked. "Nothing for me." Then, as Pat met his dark gaze, ""Well, a small highball." Jerry ordered ice, ginger ale and lemons. "I'm really not drinking much," Pat thought. "I'm just sipping." Jerry had refilled her glass. Once during dinner he leaned forward to whisper, "Now, you're family. In the evening a similar affair was given for a younger group. Mrs. Jackson was presented present-ed many lovely and useful gifts. Mrs. F. A. Schramm entertained entertain-ed a large group of relatives and friends Wednesday evening in honor of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Ar-thur Young, formerly Pauline Schramm, a recent bride. The affair af-fair was in the nature of a miscellaneous mis-cellaneous shower. Payson Camp No. 2, Daughters of Utah Pioneers held their December De-cember meeting at the home of Mrs. Sarah D. Tanner with vice captain Louie Daniels in charge. The program included Christmas corals by a ladies' chorus direct BUDDIES TUBBS WW I VtM Wt0 t; tOU ' 1 -y Jff : iP, R g V D - :(XJ T a H)! nemg.a real sport, rn pronr ox you, Pat: You're" wonderful pirn-. ply wonderful!" ' Pat giggled Yott'r drnk." "You're fine one to be talk ing." Jerry told her. Take a look at yourself In the mirror!" Pat turned and stared at the mirror opposite. Sh brushed one hand over her eyes, peering' hard at the blurred Image shifting be fore her eyes the queer-looking blond , girl in a green dress. She strained her eyes bat the features fea-tures remained indistinct. "I want to go home," she said, , her voice trembling. "Lil girl wants to go home," mocked Jerry. "Here, we'll have some black coffee. Make you feel better." Pat drank the coffee but her . head sttil ached. The bright lights hurt her eyes and the loud music annoyed her. It was just the that she saw Jerry's eager gaze and, turning, saw Claire Williams Wil-liams at a table not far away. Claire raised her hand in a gay salute. "So that's why we're here!" Pat's voice rose sharply. "Don't be a fool. If I'd wanted to meet her would I have brought you along?" "It was all arranged. Take me out of this place! I hate it! Do you hear?" n . ' JERRY'S eyes narrowed. He leaned forward, his voice harsh. "Get your coat. I'm fed up. I'm taking you home." "I'll stay, Jerry." "No, you won't stay. I'm taking you home. I told you if you started yelling " Pat reached for her coat. Jerry made no move to assist her and they left the room. Outside he swung the car around, sneering, "So you were going to be a play fellow and behave! Well, I'm through! Haven't any time for spoil sports. Never had!" Pat said nothing. The cool night air blew refreshingly against her hot face. She was beginning be-ginning to think clearly. Well, let him be through! Who cared? She was seeing Jerry in a new light. This ugly, spoiled young man. Oh, It was a relief to be away from that noisy room! . "So . you wanted to go home? Well, you're going there. As fast as I can take you." He was pres sing down on the gas. Harder. harder. The car leaped down the highway, careening from side to side in a sudden, mad burst of speed. "Jerry, don't! You frighten me. What are you doing, Jerry?" "Taking you homo. I can't get you there soon enough." Pat's frantic voice rose above the motor's roar, "Oh, please slow down, Jerry!" A car coming towajl them swerved sharply. Just in time. The driver yelled at them. "Close shave," Jerry admitted. "Well, a shave's as good as a mile. What doQOu say. Pat?" "Jerry, you'll kill us. Stop, stop!" "Next time you won't yell. I'm taking you home. Understand?" A curve rose up sharply . in front of them. Pat saw Jerry reach for the brakes. His voice rose, stark terror in it. "Hell, Pat !" Trie car leaped upward. There was a sickening crash, a terrible roaring in Pat's ears. . Then silence.
