During this busy, hurried time, messages were constantly coming downstairs from Mrs. Porter, up to whose room Cherry ran a dozen tunes. Her employer wanted blandly bland-ly to know if everything was going nicely, was enthusiastic as to her own share of the festivities and would like another cup of that delicious de-licious madrilene. Ming Wo so rarely rare-ly made madrilene and she had always al-ways been so fond of it! The dinner party had progressed to the breast of milk-fed chicken with Virginia ham and mushrooms and to ppocure another cup of the soup was like returning to some event of the dim past When that was accomplished, Mrs. Porter was delicately picking at some rich concoction con-coction of crab meat and allowed the soup to cool untouched. Bridge and backgammon had been set out in one of the parlors now; the orchestra concealed behind the inevitable palms was playing provocative pro-vocative dance music. Couples were leaving the dining din-ing room to dance for a few minutes. min-utes. were returning to play absently with alligator-pear or frozen pudding. pud-ding. Cherry looked into the upstairs bedroom to find Alma and Hatty deep in a muttered conversation. "They're doin' hothin' but makin' fun of the old lady," said Hatty. "Her champagne's good enough for them, and her dinner's good enough for them, but 'Oh, ain't she a scream, and 'Ain't this a queer old vault!' and 'Lord, my dear, you let me into this; I never would have come. " "An they says, 'How early can we get out and go somewhere and dance?' " added Alma. Cherry was the more disturbed to hear the maids' views because they confirmed an uneasy and ashamed impression of her own. An impression that the flattery and kisses that went on in Mrs. Porter's Por-ter's room were not sincere, that behind the old lady's back there were patiently resigned sighs and shrugs, and a good deal of the raising rais-ing of amused and contemptuous eyebrows. Mrs. Porter's dinner dance for the debutantes would be long remembered, but not with the gratitude she imagined. The words ''horror" and "awful" and "lousy" and "just about the limit!" would be used more often than more complimentary com-plimentary terms. Cherry felt a sudden rush of resentment of pity for her employer. Stepping back into the hall, and going to look down at the lower floor, to see if the dinner was about over, Cherry was shocked suddenly to hear the sound of sobbing. Who was crying? It came from Dorothy's room. Cherry went softly toward it and as the door stood open a crack, she pushed it further open and went in. Dorothy, her party frock crushed into stringy limpness, was lying across the bed crying bitterly. She had a chiffon handkerchief pounded into a wet ball in her hand, and was digging at her eyes with it and snuffling and Sobbing like a heartbroken heart-broken child of three. The endless evening dragged its way to midnight and the guests began be-gan to disperse. Mrs. Porter, when they came in to say their good-byes, protested kindly. It was early yet! Why, when she was a girl they had often danced right into the morning! But the pretty girls and the hoarse, polite young men were firm. Some of the boys were working, they explained; ex-plained; they had to keep early office of-fice hours. By twos and fours they dwindled away. Cherry knew that they were all going off somewhere else to dance. She heard them promise one another to meet later. She heard them laughing laugh-ing at their evening's entertainment, and their "Whews!" of relief as they disappeared into the darkness out-side out-side tie front door. The whole thing had been ridiculous and a lail-ure lail-ure she decided, going downstairs for the twentieth time that evening to see if the bridge players were stUl at their game. Fran was playing hard. Two other oth-er tables were deserted, littered with cigarette ashes and chocolate frills, scribbled scores and torn paper.

"Sit down here a minute." h said, immediately, seating himself on the landing's top step. "How's gone? Had any fun out of it? I've seen you cominsr and pnino and didn't know whether it was any fun ,ou or not. Get your candy?" "Oh, it was wonderful, Mr. Coates." "Not your first box of candy, I suppose?" Cherry was too dizzv to know what she said by the way of reply. She tried to make it grateful. But merely talking to him confused her. The lost evening was suddenly aglow with color and light She was to have her moment after all! In her agitation she said exactly what she would have wished not to say. Swallowing hard and with a nervous, quick laugh, she asked, "Didn't . . . didn't Mrs. Marsh-banks Marsh-banks look lovely tonight?" For a minute his expression was so odd that she was terrified. He didn't like her saying that! Then he said briefly, "Lovely." Blundering on, in spite of a half-defined half-defined feeling that he would not like to talk about her, Cherry said, "I used to think she was almost-well, almost-well, homely. But when you know her face you see that she's beautiful!" beauti-ful!" He had folded his arms, in a favorite fa-vorite gesture of his, and was looking look-ing at her seriously. "Fran," he said simply. But the word brimmed with some secret magic for him, and she felt its echoes ech-oes reach her, and was chilled. "The Randalls are taking her home," he added. "I've got to be on my way back to Sausalito. But you what kind of time have you had?" he asked after a moment ! "Rotten," she said, suddenly hungry hun-gry for his sympathy and understanding. under-standing. It was unwise, it was impulsive, im-pulsive, she knew it even as the ground slipped away from beneath her feet. "I hate that Amy!" she said. "That is, I don't hate her," she amended it "but she treats me as if I wasn't there didn't count" "I suppose so," he conceded with a thoughtful look. "Give it time," he went on, with a little stress on the last words, "give it time. You'll leave Amy behind you some day, and then this will all seem very small-girl stuff. Patience, Cherry." His use of her name, his serious consideration for her ill-timed outbursts out-bursts destroyed the last shred of her reticence. She was tired, ex-cited, ex-cited, jealous, lonely; she wanted somehow to hold him, and blindly reached for whatever claim upon his interest she could find. "No matter what I did," she said, looking down shyly and fingering the ornamental- end of one of the brass rods that held the stair carpet in place, "no matter what I did I would never matter to you, I know that! You'd never think of me as any thing but a girl from Saint Doro thea's who didn't count you d go on falling in love with Mrs. Marsh, banks of course," Cherry floun dered on wretchedly. "I know I'll never be like that dressed that way and playing bridge and all; she's been in Europe but if I had ciotnes and money if my husband was as wonderful as Judge Marshbanks I couldn't I know I couldn t . . . She stopped in a terrifying si lence. She could not raise her eyes. At Kelly got to his feet she rose too but still she could not look at him.
