RIP'S LETTER
By Mary Graham Bonner
"Dear Rip, said the letter. "The
doll Is mine and I am so glad to have
her back. I thought she was lost for
ever. I do not mind that she does not

more because I
can make-believe
any number of
talks she has with i
me. It's more fun.
"I feel all upset i
that you have the
mumps. I'm a

them from me.
That was my first
day out when you
met me and I
i h o u 1 d n 't have
gone so far as I
wasn't really quite well, or able to
play wlUi otner children. I shouldn't
have kissed your silky ears.
"I hope you get over your mumps

It Is a little, soft shawl to wrap
around your neck. It will ktep you
warm while you have the mumps
and I'm putting my favorite ball a
blue one inside and you can play
with It when you're all well again.
"Katrina la well and enjoyed fly
ing over here under the crow's wing.
She says she never expected to have
a flying trip when she was so young.
"When you re all well, please walk
over here with Willy Nilly and tell

"I do hope you will be well soon,

and a pat for your head.

moment's notice? If her salary stop
ped, so would Ray's college fund.
So would these new comforts for
her father and mother. Had she
a right to run away from her re
' sponsibllitles?
Sally went home In a dream. If
she had been less absorbed in her
own thoughts, she would have no
ticed Tip's flaring color and watch
ful eyes noticed how Tip jumped
when the telephone rang and how
Tip sprang up and ran out of the
room when she heard Terry's step
in the hallway.
The family gathered about Terry
when he came congratulating him.
Tip was nowhere to be seen. When
Terry finally turned to Sally, she
had scarcely spoken to him.
"Ready to go, Sally?"
"Ill get my coat," said Sally. As
she left the room, she felt the eyes
of her father and mother and Ray
on her. They were thinking Uiat
Terry meant to ask her to marry
him, and wondering what Sally
meant to do.
Sally was taking her coat from
the hanger when Tip came into
her room and shut the door behind
her.
"Sally, what are you going to do?"
Tip's voice, so quiet and yet so
desperate, made Sally turn toward
her Instantly. She was shocked at ,
the suffering that showed Itself in
her young sister's Jace. Tip's eyes
were red with crying, her face pale
and strained.
"You know I'm going out to din
ner with Terry," said Sally gently.
"Surely you don't grudge me that."
"I do," said Tip. clasping her
tightly together. "I hate you every
minute you're with him." Her voice
rose hysterically. "Don't try to pre
tend you know you're going to tell
him tonight that you'll marry him
and go away with him I"
Sally felt a sick shame that she
and Tip should be reduced to quar
reling over Terry. It somehow
cheapened her love for Terry. Sally
was seized with a bitter resentment
against Hp that crowded out all

other emotions. Tip was spoiled.
She wanted Terry as she had want
ed a dozen other men, and. because
she had been able to win the others,
she thought she could get Terry
by pouting.
"Be quiet ! Sally ordered sternly.
"You're behaving like a child. You
don't know what love Is. You want
your own way and when you can't
have It you always make a row.
"That's what you think," cried
Tip. "But you don't know you
don't try to understand. Terry's not
not Just somebody to play around
with. He's the one person I've ever
loved and if you take him, I'll nev-
er love anybody else. I know." Tip's
voice broke. She sat down on the
edge of Sally's bed and wept softly,
hopelessly.
Sally sat down beside her and
took one of Tip's hands In hers.
"Tip." she said, "don't you know
that Terry has asked me to marry
him. that he loves me and wants
me to be his wife? Haven't you any
pride left at all, that you can run
after a man who doesnt want you?
Tip shook off Sally's hand and
faced her with burning eyes.
"But he does love me!" she cried,
and her words had the sting of .sin
cerity. "If you .weren't blind as a
bat you'd know he loves me that
I'm the right one for him, not you,
Only he likes and respects you, and
he'll never tell you. He'll marry you,
because you want it and I can t
bear it, I can't!"
Tip's head went down on the bed
again, but this time Sally did not
touch her. All Sally's reason fled
as bright hot anger possessed her.
"Stop thatl" she cried. "You're a
selfish, hateful girl and If any
one ever marries you, he'll be
ashamed of you as I am!"
'Then it's time I was getting out
of this place." said Tip dully.
"It's time you got out and tried
to find yourself a job. If you work
ed and did your share for the fam
ily you wouldn't have time to worry
about how many men you can add
to your string of conquests. Well,
you can't add Terry. He's mine."
Tip stared at Sally, shocked out
of her own grief. Sally relentlessly
poured out the accumulated resent
ment of years of giving up to Tip.
"You're not worth all we've sac
rificed for you." said Sally. "You're
not worth Mother's slaving over
your pretty clothes, or my furnish
ing your pocket money. You're not
worthy of Terry Maynard's love,
and I hope he'll never be blind
enough, stupid enough to care for
you."
"Stop. Sally." Tip said quietly,
standing up. She looked her older
sister steadily In the eyes. She had
a strange new dignity, and Sally's
wrath subsided as suddenly as it
had ri--n, leaving her sick and
ashamed.
"Go on away with Terry." Tip
said. "You're right. I'm not good
enoueh for him. Just not good
enough."
"I'm sorry." Sally meant It.
"Don't be- -sorry." answered Tip.
"It's the truth. I've been a silly
flirt. Only, give me credit, this
time I know what It is to love some
body enough to feel I'm not good
enough for him."
"You only think you love Terry,"
said Sally. "Tomorrow it will be
Joe Morris or someone else."
She caught up her coat and left

car and Terry she tried to erase
from her vision the tragl-comic
picture of Tip, standing In the mid
dle of the floor, acting like a movie
heroine, and yet, strangely sincere.
Sally was glad that Terry did not
talk to her until they were out of
town and welt on the road to the
Barn. When he did speak, he was
matter-of-fact and reassuring.
"Hope the news that my big Job
came through wasn't too much of
a shock. I meant to save It and
tell you tonight, but Mom let it out
to the newspaper. She couldnt
wait."
"Your family's proud of you, isnt
it? Mine's proud of you."
"They were afraid I'd never get
a Job," grinned Terry. "They're still
surprised that I can really do any
thing anybody's willing to pay for.
They think I'm being overpaid for
this new job."
"You've earned It- every bit of
it."
The lights of the little roadside
inn loomed ahead of them. They
parked the car beside several oth
ers and went in, to find the little
stalls of the Barn nearly full of
people having supper. Later there
would be a small string orchestra
and everyone would dance.
Sally nad Terry ordered supper
and while they ate talked of every
thing but themselves. Terry, who
had at first been his old gay, self,
full of exuberance over the new
Job. grew silent and moody as they
neared the end of their supper.
Sally, over the coffee, said:
"Shall we talk about us?"
"You've made up your mind,
then?" Terry asked quickly.
"Not exactly." Sally tried to read
his expression. She must go care
fully, remembering everything that
Tip had said.
"What do you mean?" Terry
frowned. There's no more hesita
ting, Sally. The time's too short.
Either you love me enough to marry
me and go away with me now or
you dont."
"There's something else besides
that," said Sally. "There's Tip."
"You know," Terry was Immense
ly relieved, "I told her you would.
I told her somehow you'd be able
to figure out it If you knew."
"Tip thinks she loves you."
"God knows why," said Terry. "I
can't make it out how she could
fall for me, stacking me up against
all the fellows she's got on her
string."
"That's not so difficult to under
stand." said Sally, and a trace of
hardness got Into her voice. "Per
haps It's just that you havent
been on her string. Tip always wants
what she can't get."
"Do you believe that. Sally?" Ter
ry searched her face with anxious
eyes. "That's what I've been trying
to tell myself all along it would
make tilings easier. Do you really
believe that. Sally,"
Sally was bitterly tempted to say
yes. If she did. if she told Terry
that Tip was Incapable of liking
anyone for very long, then Terry
might believe her. After all, she and
Terry had been fond of each other
for a long time. If he believed him
self to be falling in love with Tip
now. It waa because Tip had been
running after him, had flattered
him. Sally fought down the Im
pulse to dismiss Tip's love as pure
Infatuation. She must be fair,
above all.
"If if I could believe that Tip's
only flirting." Terry repeated. "It
would make the whole thing easier."
"I don't know." said Sally slowly,
picking her words. "It's true that
Tip never has been so much in ear
nest about anyone as she was to
night about you. Maybe she loves
you. Maybe she'll get over It and
fall In love with Joe or some of the
others. I can't answer for that. I
haven't the right. It seems to me
that what you have to consider Is
what you feel for Tip."
'Now It was out. She was giving
him. his chance, to get out of their
engagement, just as she had known
she would ever since Tip had
spoken.
