She went, as usual, with a group of girls, but their men were waiting for them near the door of the open-air dancing pavilion.

Standing just outside, the angry lover watched the girl "spiel" round and round with a man of doubtful respectability.

Soon she joined a noisy, beer-drinking group at one of the tables, and her behavior grew more and more reckless.

Finally, amid laughter, she and another girl performed a suggestive dance together.
Walking swiftly up to her, the outraged foundryman grasped her by the shoulder, called her a name she did not yet deserve, and threw her violently to the floor.

A terrific fight followed, and the police soon cleared the place.
Edna did not dare go home.
