THE ugly Uttlo girl's name wob Dot
Salisbury, nnrt rIio was poor, but of
good family. Her very obvious Inten
tion was to marry well, and It showed
In everything she did. Her entire man
ner said, "I don't know when the right
man la coming along, but I'm going to
be prepared when he does."
As. they ay stood together on the wide
porch, Ruth gave n haRty glance at
her present partner. Ho was very tall
and straight and looked older than the
others. lie smiled down quite genuinely
at Ruth, and she loved him lor It.
When they danced he npologlred for
clumsiness, and nfter n few turns of
the room, he asked Ruth If she would
like to walk down on the pier.
Ruth would have liked to do anything
at that moment that would have taken
her nway from the ejes of Beatrice and
Grare I.ovctt.
"Just a moment while I get my cape,"
she murmured to the good-looking oung
captain, and then she was In the dress
ing room. She encountered the cool
hostile eyes of two young girli who had
eyed Reatrice and her crowd the entire
evening. They did not move at all, as
Ruth tried to get n glimpse at the
mirror, but she mnde n haty dab at her
nose with a puff and wns off.
The tnll oung captnin regarded her
seriously out of the gloom. "O, jes,
we all did," he returned sliortlv.
"My husband v. ns t Invalided home
during the war." Ruth said waging
proud. "He got the (,'roix do Ouerrc!"
The captain looked nt her more
closely. "You don't say, Is he here to
night? "(). yes."
"Like to meet him. Shall v.c go
back? I think the nct dance Is start
ing." Ruth had a sudden sense of defeat,
and as they walked up the path a danc
ing figure flew to meet them. It was
Dot Salisbury.
Ruth had a moment's vision of the
captain's face eager nnd Interested ns
he took Dot's arm, nnd then with a
lump in her throat, Ruth sought the
group of which Mrs. Moore was the
center.
"Having a good time?" asked Mrs.
Moore, looking at her closely.
"They seem ho joung," murmured
Ruth dcprecatingly.
' "They're babies, but the cftie you
were with is married."
"Married!'1 Itf'was n gasp. '
"Yes, I'm sure lie is."
Ruth remembered suddenly the glad
interested look the captain's face had
worn when Dot Salisbury nnd danced
tip. There had been a certain flash
of understanding on both joung faces.
And now the dance was ending, and
she saw Dot nnd the captain come out
of the lighted ballroom and go down
the steps. Her eyes followed them un
til tlicy disappeared In the darkness,
Did Dot know he was mnrrlcd?
And If she did, didn't she care?
Ruth hadn't noticed It before, but
the effect was ridiculous. Beatrice, her
wonderful Chinese coat halt slipping
from her shoulders, had her chin tucked
Into the shoulder of the man she was
dancing with.
"Don't you think It's disgusting?"
said one of the women, turning to Mrs.
Moore, half angrily, half laughingly.
And out of nil this Ruth's brain kept
telling her that the captain was still
down on the pier with Dot Salisbury,
nnd ho was married.
