A Weir Julian Eltinge.

At the Weir House Dance a Monte Carlo was thinning the floor swiftly. Uut Tony Chorlton and his charming partner, "Miss" Smith, with shrewd management kept to the dead-line. Finally Mr. Chorlton and his partner were one of two couples left on the floor, and Master of Ceremonies Naylor was not to be thwarted. Like a boxing referee he signalled the two couples to either sides of the room. Red or black it was, and Mr. Chorlton and his partner missed. But we wonder what "Miss" Smith would have done with the ladies' prize had "she" won it.
