She widened her brown eyes just as she'd seen Marla Denning do in the last Jerry Finney picture. “That was last night, Gusty. Girls -~-- change their minds.” “And how! Well, all right, Tl pick you up around 8.” “1'll be waiting,” Francie lilted. Duke Meyer's Kampus Wildcats rlayed that night under a severe -—. randicap. No swing. The guests were. practically aged, and at 11 ihe party broke up. I spite of the $3 he had earned, Gusty was unhappy. “Corny stuff,” . he grumbled as they emerged from the hall. “Here I work up a lot of riew licks and can’t use em.” “Never mind,” Francie soothed. «Everyone could tell you were good.” % Gusty’s old roadster was at the : it ”

He liked Francie only because she knew good swing. “Why, Gusty.” She burrowed under his arm, laid her face against his coat. They sat like that a long time, without speaking. Once Francie thought she felt Gusty’s lips brush lightly over her hair. She . sighed. It was so perfect. She hadn't dreamed that Gusty could be silent and tender. Presently he said, “I—I'm acting like a sap.” “You're not, Gusty.” «you know something, Francie? I'm kinda in the dumps over those licks. I never knew it was so nice ~ just to sit with a girl and not say anything. It makes a fellow feel a lot better.”
