"What was your favorite subject at college?" I questioned Stella,
facetiously.
"That's my secret," she answered.
"I can guess it, though."
"Try."
"Dancing."
"That's right," she shouted, amidst an outburst of laughter
"Well, have you learned it well?" I went on
"Why don't you ask me for a waltz and find out for yourself?"
"I wish I could, but unfortunately they did not take up dancing at
my college."
"Did you go to college?" Stella asked, seriously
"I don't look like one who did, I suppose. Well, I should like to say
I did, but I haven't the heart to tell you a lie."
"Never mind," Nodelman broke in. "He's an educated fellar, all the
same.
He's awful educated. That's what makes him such a smart business
man. By the way, Levinsky, how is the merchandise?"
"This is no place to talk shop," I replied, deprecatingly. "Especially
when there are so many pretty ladies around."
"That's right!" several of the women chimed in in chorus
Mrs. Nodelman, the hostess, who stood in the doorway, beckoned
to her husband, and he jumped up from the table.
