Chapter VIII.
The Ball
Viki looked shyly back at herself from the mirror. With wide blue eyes and silky fair hair, and a white frock billowing from a slender waist, she looked enchanting. With an excited little laugh she caught up her wrap and danced downstairs. "The Waterloo Hotel," she directed the waiting cab breathlessly, and in a few more minutes was waiting in an opulent room for her partner, Barrel Step-on-the-Gas. She looked idly around and was surprised to see three other girls she knew slightly—May Best, Miss Chasem (who later was exposed as a Female Impersonator), and Sue. Barrel was certainly rolling in partners! However this slight matter cleared itself up fairly soon, the missing bracers were found, and Viki So enjoyed the Ball.
As she sought her little white bed Viki told herself that she would never, never, Never miss another Tournament. They were Such Fun.
