He bought his tio- ket and walked to the entrance of the dance hall. On seeing a young lady sitting alone he asked ifi 5 he might have the pleasure :if the dance. It was an old fashioned one and Sir Roger enjoyed himselt to the GHG- In fact, when the music stopped, he kept right on ed ging his partner around the hall,afterwards telling eVeryOH9 that t he dance was much too short. Everyone just stared in astonishment.Not many people really knew who he was but they were very much surprised at this old gentleman. Soon the music started up again and,unlike most peo- ple at the dances, he walked way across the dance floor to ask a girl to dance with him. Now usually on Saturday nights everyone dances and has a wonderful timer without being bashful or shy, but tonight everyone seemed to hold backxiot because anyone was shy but because they all wished to watch Sir Roger dance. He was a slight bit awk- ward dancing but he didn't mind that at all. He just for- got himself entirely in his enjoyment of everything. Once, when he noticed that the people were not dance ing, he stopped in the middle of the floor and called out for everyone to come along and dance. , Soon everyone joined and began having a 'wonderful time dancing and talking with Sir Roger. Everyone wanted to dance with him and everyone who did was very proud of the fact. Whenever he'noticed someone who he thought wasn't having a good time, he went to him and talked him cut, of his gloom. When intermission came he ordered sodas for everyone who was near the soda fountain, then visited many people during part of the recess. However, he was very impatient and couldnit wait for the music to begin. He kept walking up and down the stairs, hoping that enough couples would come in so that he wouldn't have to wait any longer, Returning, he paced theifloor,counting the minutes until the music 'struck upn age n, At the end of the dance he stood beside the orchestra, thanking the people for the wonderful time he had had, also complimenting the orchestra on,their fine musine ' Annie Mitchell 'u2 '5IR RUGER'S DINNER ENGAGEMENT Of his dinner engagement with a i 1 1 f the North side Sir Roger gives a brie?O3SZ2riptY0g?W mo -.Ana.4.L,L4r...m..1....Hs.L1aLmsH.As.:4. man'-Shear: . :L.12.-.2ai:.LK1.'AZ'-sr.:ffns.lnz4n.92.lL.......:.nnLQla.4s.- -
