fC!IllffllItl,llfI'IJI1l page 104-J fear as she entered the ballroom on Phil's arm the next evening. Perhaps it was not a praying matter, but Lucille breath- ed, Oh, God, help me to dance! W'hat was that Phil was whispering in her ear? Could it be true? You're a wonderful dancerf' It zvax true. She was following him, lightly, easily. Wliy, all it took was concentration until you got the swing of it. Oh, what a heavenly evening .... On the way home Phil turned to the dreamy girl beside him. How long will you be here, 'Cele? I'm leaving day after tomorrow. W'orse luck.', That's impossible! Wliy, I just met you. I know, but my ticket has been bought, and I must meet the family to go with them to the seashoref, Something like this would have to happen. But, anyway, weill have to- morrow nightf' Tomorrow night? Yes. Didn't I tell you? Mother said I might have a dinner for you at our house. I've already asked three other couplesg so youlll have to comef' I'd love to. You know that. Lucille was undressing after Phil had left when Granny entered and kissed her. Have a good time, dear?' Perfect! Absolutely! Oli, Granny, I 4111! Ilf111i'i'. ' She whirled around the room and flung herself on her beaming grand- . t t mother. You knew me better than I knew myself. Thanks for making me go. Lucille gazed speculatively into the mirror as she added the finishing touch to her toilette the next afternoon. This will be my hnal test. If I can meet other boys and girls without being afraid of them, l'll have graduated with honors. I wonder . . . At first, when she was introduced to half a dozen strangers at once, she was nervous. The girls, however, took her up- stairs to put her coat away, and they soon became friends. In fact, they seemed anxious to be nice. They looked up to her for some reason. Wiell, she ilirl look her best. Lucille was walking on air when they re-entered the living-room, arm in arm. The dinner passed easily, gaily. It was rather formal until one of the boys tried to eat his tomato cocktail with a spoon, then everyone settled down to being him- self. Afterwards there was a poker game. When that dulled, Phil asked Lucille to dance. A few moments later, Lucille glanced around and saw the other girls seated in a dejected row on the couch, while the three boys were standing in rapt admiration, waiting to dance with her. She chuckled to herself. It was cruel to laugh. She did feel sorry for the others, for if anyone knew how it felt to be a wall-flower, she did. But that was just what was funny. Before the evening was over, Phil and Lucille were the only couple on the floor. The rest sat around and watched and wouldn't let them stop dancing until they were exhausted. When everyone had gone, Phil took Lucille home. They stood in the hall- way, he holding her hand. It seems impossible that it's over so soon,' he told her. Yes, it's been heavenly. . . Too good to be true .... U Can't you possibly stay longer, ,Cele? You know I can't Phil, much as I'd like to. But you will write to me? Of course. And you will come back to Rich- mond? I'll come back as soon as I can. XVell . . . Goodbye, 'Celef' Goodbye, Phil. ,CeIe . . .? Yes?', 73 May I kiss you goodbye? Lucille's pulse quickened. He wanted to kiss her. No boy had ever wanted to do that befo1'e. Should she, or should she not . . .? Yes, Phil, you may.', A fleeting moment that she was de- stined never to forget! . . . Lucille knew then that she had graduated with flying colors.
