CHAPTER XIV MOLLY suggested taking two cabs to the club. “There’s no sense getting crushed.” She was thinking of her new ermine coat. “Let’s,” Lila agreed, and while they waited she found an opportunity for a whispered word to her hostess. When the first cab drew up to the curb Molly motioned Bertie Lou to get in. “You first,” Bertie Lou said, stepping aside. Molly laughed and took her by the arm. To resist would have shown that Bertie Lou knew what Lila was engineering. She preferred to have them think she hadn’t caught, on. Molly climbed in after her and while Rod was engaged in signaling a second cab Molly called to Tom to come and join her. Tom delayed until the other cab came to a stop and Lila turned toward it. Then he gbt in with Molly and Bertie Lou. He was perfectly innocent. It seemed a natural thing to do. The distance to the club was short, but heavy traffic delayed them. When finally the two cabs arrived before the unpretentious entrance of the Arabesque Lila had enjoyed her “moment” with Rod At least she gave the impression of having enjoyed it though Rod hadn’t thought it anything. Lila was too inteligent to spoil her evening at its inception. Later, when gaiety and the atmosphere of the club had thawed out Rod’s feeling of self-conscious-ness she hoped to get closer to him. She didn’t know from experience what help she could expect from the relaxing .influences of a supper club, but she’d heard of people who had completely forgotten themselves there, their inhibitions, and other things. Perhaps Rob would forget that he shouldn’t be interested in her any more Bertie Lou r" + ed the self-satisfied smile on Lila s lips as she stepped from the taxicab. She glanced quickly at Rod. Guileless Rod. She knew at once he had nothing to conceal. What & suspicious fool Lila must think her! Rod left Lila to the ushering ability of Tom and devoted himself to

seeing Bertie Lou politely into the club. Lila’s eyes snapped as he turned away from her. She was further annoyed at the care with which he saw Bertie Lou seated before he took thought of her or Molly. They had a good table. Tom was known in the place. Rod asked him to do the ordering. “You know the ropes,” he said, excusing himself. Tom was glad to comply. While he gave his cryptic orders to the waiter, Bertie Lou and Lila gave their attention to their surround'ngs. The Arabesque was one of the quieter clubs. Evening dress was required. The women’s gowns their glittering diamonds and endless ropes of pearls, and the men’s black and white dress were striking contrast to the exotic furnishings all around them. The walls were paneled in dark wood with arabesques in deep red forest green and antique gold, used as the decorative motif. Unlike may clubs witß dazzling white lights and screeching jazz the Arabesque offered refinement. But it was, after all, a night club, and as such was permeated with an air of gaiety, both forced and natural, that excited the senses and set free a desire to forget care, to live while the living was good and let tomorrow take thought of tomorrow’s troubles. Bertie Lou felt the wine of It In her tapping toes and time-beating fingers. The waiter brought something in glasses. She left it untouched to dance with Rod. Tom was dancing with Lila. They bumped into each other presently. Bertie Lou’s eyes were closed dreamily. She did not see the look lila bent upon her. Neither did Rod. Tom asked Molly for the next

dance. Bertie Lou knew Rod must dance with Lila. She hated to miss a number. Lila looked happier. They were given time to nibble on the first course of supper. Not much time and not much supper. The musicians began softly tuning up their instruments. And then Bertie Lou got a lucky break. The hostess came over and spoke to Tom. He called her by her first name and introduced her to his friends. She said they needed an extra man. There was a perfectly good one going to waste at a table all by himself. His party had moved on and the girls couldn’t get to first base with him. All right to bring him over? She gave some information about him, vouched for him. Said he used his right name. One of her remarks caught Lila’s attention. “Os course he’s filthy with money, if that means anything to you!” Rod danced with Lila and Bertie Lou talked with the new man while Tom galloped around with Molly. But that, Bertie Lou was sure before the music crashed into the third number, would be the end of her warfare with Lla for this evening at least. For Lila had begun playing up to the stranger, Mr. Loree. She had her heart and soul in her work. Mr. Loree was an oldish man, but he carried the stamp of success in his crisp speech and sure, brisk manner. Bertie Lou rather liked

him. Too good for Lila, but, strangely, he seemed to return her interest. Neither Tom nor Molly cared particularly for dancing. Mr. Loree did. Lila was now perfectly willing to let Bertie Lou have all the dances with Rod. So It turned out to be a much happier evening for Bertie Lou than she had anticipated. And the show was what Tom called a “wow.” Little girls with wise eyes and pert legs ponied out ahead of a principal and tossed balloons to the patrons. To the ends of the stems toy jazz makers were attached. The singer came on and pleaded with everyone to make music for her. Queer sounds suddenly filled the smoky air as the revellers endeavored to favor her. Bertie Lou spoke to Tom about the entertainer’s voice. “Oh, yes,” he said, “she's good. Came to New York to study for grand opera.” Bertie Lou fell silent over the un-

told story. The song ended and the girl, she was just a girl, made way for the star. Bertie Lou was fascinated with the latter’s costume, made of fig leaves and small red apples, but not with her voice, though she had a song that she could make a lot of. It was about a garden. And there was a call in it somewhere to the nether regions for the last word brought a hissing horde of little red demons about her. Demons in forked tails and nothing much besides. They began tearing at her costume, plucking away the apples and ripping off the leaves. Bertie Lou’s eyes widened. Would they completely disrobe her? She glanced apprehensively at Rod. His face reflected her own alarm.
