"Oh dear, we're so late!" ex- claimed Star.

“The better to make an impres- sive entrance, my dear." But Star would have preferredto

watch everyone else enter. It was eﬁliﬂbl

going to be awkward enough to meet Kent Barrett in without having the whole ning room looking on. Gloria had insisted that they sit, at his table, but he had not been there last night. In fact they had eat-en in almost solitary llory and then watched the movies for in hour with eyes that droop- ed in spite of themselves. Finally they Bind gone off, yawning t0 their stateroom. Kent Barrett had not appsared.

Nor had she seen him today. Some of the passengers had been ill, one of the 'stewards told her when she commented on the des- erted decks" others referred to stay in their cabins he first day out. Gloria had seen Kent, she arkncivleclgsd, but she had not siwinvzi to irzini to talk about their meeting, and Star had not ques- tioned her further.

Star had looked forward to this “gvi-tnzviiicr" dlnncr with great‘ ' Pfllﬁlll, and liad started to get 1on1 iii-lorr- the dinner gong d. lint Gloria fussed and from about the wrinkles in her dress mid ih: fact that she had frrgoitrn her blue mascara until Star was in a fever of impatience.

At last Gloria had declared she was ready and it was eight-thirty be- fore they were in sight of the bril- liantly lighted dining salon.

The dining room steward came to meet them as they appeared in the big double doorway. Star looked at the laughing chattering group with ivondering eyes. In her imag- ination she had pictured the sparkle of glass and silver, the soft zuiisic. But she had not thought of 11:2 sinzirt officers’ uniforms, of the lov-tily frocks and gleaming jeivels cf the women. She had not known that there would be paper hats for everyone, and noisemakem -like New Year's Eve. Most of all she had not been able to imagine herself a "part of it; she could scarcely believe that ii; was her biue satin sandas stepping onto the polished floor.

“Good evening.” the steward bowed deeply. ‘This way, please."

Sta was so excited she did not See the Distant tribute paid iu iier graceful figure, her bright joy in everything about her. But Gloria. one step behind, was acutely aware of the admiring gfances and vzhis- pered comments at the tables as they passed. Barton Underwood glanced up with a smile and Glor- ia was warmly responsive. She had found lrim a little dull yester- day afternoon. but after all he might be useful if Kent continued to prove difficult. Kent had been lstonished to see her on , but he had left little doubt in her mind that. it was not a. pleasant surprise.

"Kent. what shall I eat?" Gloria asked. “I haven't Star's desire for food at all, but I suppose I should try something."

Kent answered aImOst rudely, “Eat. whatever you like. You don't need a doctor to tell you that." He turned abruptly to Star. “Are you enjoying the trip, Miss Sandringham?"

Star caught her breath; she had scarcely hoped that he would give her a chance to make herself known so soon.

“It's more fun than I ever imag- ined it could be," she said truthfully. "You see I've lived in a. little inland town. It was Milford," she said look- ing at Doctor Barrett squarely. "Have you ever been there?" “It seems to‘ me I have." Kent's frowning consideration was perfect, she thought scornfully.

"Wasn't it about ten years ago?" she demanded.

Kent seemed swprised. "By George, I believe it was! How did you know?"

Star smiled with satisfaction, At least she had made him admit that much. Gloria. watched her shy little roommate with growing interest. so -—Star remembered Kent, but Kent had forgotten star! Well. thﬂe was n0 point in worrying about a. romance as completely dead as that. she decided. turning with more interest to Coates.
