SS* 16 ' Mrs. Jlo; Florence Lsella, Mr. Dudgeon s Dance 515 By GEORGE HASKELL (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) “No, sir, I'll never consent to it!” roared the elderly gentleman in the li brary chair. Dudgeon senior always roared when he was angry. Justnow he was storm ing like a regulation scene in a cheap melodrama. Dudgeon junior, his only son and heir, faced him without quail ing. The young follow had an upward, defiant tilt to his strong chin, and his gray eyes looked straight Into those of the angry man. “But, father,” ho protested, “you have not even soon her.” “I don’t want to. You may not think social position counts for anything, but it does. ‘Albert Dudgeon’s son marries the village dressmaker’—that would look well in headlines, wouldn’t it?” “I don’t care how it would look!” re torted the young man. “Well, I do, and I wou’t stand for It.” “Miss Aiken is not just a dressmak er—though I shouldn’t care if she were —she has great talent as a designer.” “Hull!” snorted the other. “There may he some of her gowns next week at our dance.” “I shouldn’t wonder,” was the quiet answer. “I would. Not on your life. They’ll come from New York.” “I’m not discussing gowns,” said 'Then I Must Have the First Dance.” Dudgeon, Jr., “I’m discussing the girl I love.” “Then the discussion is closed^” yelled his parent. At young Dudgeon’s visit that eve ning to Rose Aiken she drew from him the gist of his interview with his fa ther. “Bert, dear, I—T can’t come between you and your father—it would not be right,” she said, trying to be very firm and brave. “I’d hate to go dead against dad— I’m all lie has—but you’re more to me than everything else in the world!” When conservation was resumed he added: “I have a little money of my own, and I guess I can make my way somewhere outside of the firm.” “I wasn’t thinking of that,” she an swered. “This little business is my own, and it is building up wonderful ly. Just think! I’ll have a hundred dollar gown at your party next week!” “Scott! Who’s going to wear it?” “Miss Cursley. She has always helped me by ordering tilings ever since I started.” “Grace Cursley is a brick!” cried Dudgeon. “She’s a chum of mine, and she knows how I feel about you!” “She does!” exclaimed Rose in blank surprise. “Yes, and she stands by me. But she knows how to keep a secret.” “I’m afraid there won’t be any to keep,” murmured the girl disconsolate ly. “No, Bert, uo, I couldn’t do it!" At this juncture the passionate pro test, and broken, interrupted words cannot be very intelligibly expressed. The day of the dance arrived. It was an event in the millionaire colony, and Rose Aiken examined with dismay the unfinished gown which should have gone to Miss Cursley the day before. Two of her best hands had been laid off by illness, there was a great deal of embroidery and fine work to be done on the gown, and she was anxi ously trying to finish it herself. The Cursleys hud gone up to town rather early this season, and Grace was anything’s wrong. Nobody but you clan fix it,” came through the ’phone. Rose feeling that wild horses couldn’t under any other circumstances have dragged her to that house was forced to promlsb. Promptly at eight o’clock she was admitted to Miss Curslcy’s room. “It’s just dear of you to come,” she smiled, dismissing the hairdresser. “But no one will see yo\j. Things don’t begin till about ten you know.” Miss Cursley exclaimed delightedly over the gown as she put it on. Rose found alterations to make, in fact, more than she lmd expected. She worked busily, but it was getting near ten when she had finished. “Please put it on yourself,” implored Grace. “I want to see it on ‘the living model.’ ” She was in a kimono, snugly en- sconscd among cushions, and declared she was too tired to move. “Besides,” she added, “I want it to lie just, right, so it can be a good ’ad’ for you. “Stunning!” exclaimed Miss Cursley. “And it just suits you!” Rose began to undo the fastenings, when suddenly there was a rush of feet through the hall, and the cry of fire . Both girls sprang to the door to be greeted by stifling smoke ns they ran out. Rose was for going back, and closing the door, but the other excitedly dragged her toward the stair way. A mad rush of panic-stricken guests behind her, swept her from her feet. At that instant she felt a strong anh lifting her back to the landing. She looked up to see an elderly gentle man, ’whom she at once recognized as the muster of the house, quieting the guests in firm authoritative tones. There was not the slightest danger. Something had burned up in the kitch en, that was all. In his excitement he was oblivious to the fact that he was still holding tightly to the young lady he bad rescued, In spite of her futile efforts to wriggle away. He now apolo gized, saying he hdppd to still further smooth out matters down in the ball room. Rose murmured out something about not being able to stay very long. "Then I must have the first dance,” he insisted. “You owe me that, you know, for saving you a fall.” The very admiring glance with which this was accompanied, made Rose promise, and she fled in confusion to Miss Curslcy’s room. Once inside she sank down laugh ing, and told her the whole story. “Of course, now, lie’ll be sure I’m n villain, because I can’t keep my prom ise.” “O but you must!” said the other. “Must!” echoed Rose blankly. “Why yes. I don’t want to go down before eleven I’d rather rest. You go, and give Papa Dudgeon Ills dance. 1 wouldn’t miss this for a farm l” And the girl went off into gales of laugh ter. “Bui someone will know me,” object ed the other. “They won’t get a chance to tell him till you’re gone.” Rose was game, and went down just in time for her dance. She managed to escape the notice of Dudgeon, Jr., till near the close of the dance she caught Ills eye wide with startled amazement. With difficulty she kept from shaking with laughter. The moment his father had smiling ly bowed his thanks, Bert was at her side. “Quick!” she cried, “let me get out of here. This is worse than the Cin derella stunt. I’ve got to be away be fore eleven, and not even a pumpkin coach.” On the way upstairs, she explained to her dazed escort, who with sup pressed chuckles, a few minutes later, put her in his ear, and took her home, with a promise to let her know the outcome. The next day he told her how a catty woman had revealed to his fa ther the identity of his partner, and. how Miss Cursley had rallied to Rose's defense, saying her family was as good as anyone’s there, and ended by telling the whole story. At this instant a fig ure loomed up in the door way, and the culprits faced Dudgeon, Sr. “Nice little business you have hex’V. Miss Aiken,” he said briskly. “SorP^ to ask you to give it up. But my sou prefers to support his wife.” Earth’s Land and Sea.
