Spectra have been obtained for five short-period (P is less than 1d) variable stars in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Radial velocities and Delta S metallicity indices have been determined for the variables. Most of the variables appear to be foreground RR Lyrae stars of the Galaxy and not members of the LMC. The stars range in forbidden line ratio Fe/H from 0.6 to -1.7. The radial velocities of these variables and those of two similar variables observed by Connolly (1980) are discussed. The line-of-sight velocity dispersion for these stars is consistent with both spherical and cylindrical descriptions of the halo velocity dispersion.
