As a matter of fact, her reputa tion In town seemed only height- Goody's Shopping ned by her sensational romance. Nobody knew ths entire story, and sobody dared to ask details. Elabo rately they made their own ex planations. And with magnificent gestures, they bent themselves to how Hope and ber folks how much they understood, admired and sym pathized. All of which thoroughly Irritated nd bored Hope. In spite of ber continual activ ities, Ilopo was Increasingly lonely, unable to readjust herself, unable, no matter how hard she tried, to forget Dlckoy. Even hating him, he remembered. If only she could forgetl And somehow, the more she remembered, the less sbe hated him. The more she brooded over him, wondorlng how she had ever so totally misjudged him. Most of oil, was she unable to And anyone to take his place. Only Rusty Crandall remulned of the stoady old line. In nil ber broad little world, only Rusty Cran dall and Judy Hunt seemed truly to care. Without Judy, and without Rusty, who was wise enough (or per- nape disillusioned enough!) no longer to speak to her of love, Hope could never have seen the long Dlckeylesa year through. 8uch a year as It wast Angel, cornered by family artalrs, was forced to leave school nnd, hardest of all, quit Hope's crowd as a reg ular member. Head high, and proud, Angel commuted to a New York secretarial school only to become transported with Joy when Rusty got ber a position In his Arm as stenographer (no, not sec retary) to two or three of the lesser lights In his father'a main office. It gave nusty'a family the chance fur polite, kind superiority to the "nice llltli thing that Rusty Just got a Job for at elghtoon' dollars a woek."

It brought Hops and Judy closer togothor, for with Hope, Judy could sit and gulp high balls that stopped the tears, while ht vowed viciously that s.lo'd never marry Frisky, that shs'il keep postponing the engagement forever, that she was still seeing, almost as much as ever, Tom Post, her saxophone player, who under stood and would wait .'or ber nay, kidnap ber if necessary, ... It only Tom would become successful as a lyrlo writer. ... And thon there was Goody. And Ooody's engagement party. Goody's showers. Goody's shopping and Goody's troussoou! Thanksgiving that meant nothing at all, and Christmas that meant loss because It brought back memories of the mooting In Lake l'lncld. . . .

A boy who earned the name of "Twosome" Hubbard because of his astonishing propensities for heart breaking. Long and often did Hope dance with this Twosome, asking subtle and flip questions about Harmouth, asking him it he bad ever met her "annulled husband," Dickey Dale. "No," aald Twosome, with a broad grin, "but I've heard enough about him to flit a library." "Well," Hope leaned back In his arms and almost lost step with the (ox trot, "Go In sometime and In troduce yourself to him. And tell him 1 hope he graduates with hon ors!" She hated herself the moment she bad spoken the words. Hated herself worse, when Betty ques tioned her about It later, and she listened to herself prattle on and on with Betty. . , , Hated herself a million times more, when Betty came over to her bouse one afternoon three weeks after New Year's, carrying a letter from Twosome Hubbard, in which he reported that he had carried out Hope's suggestion with Dickey Dale, and bad nearly been thrown downstairs for his trouble. Dickey bad said, and said ferociously, that he nover wanted to hear Hope's name again! Hope asked Betty for the tetter. and kept It. Wondering why. Wondering how she could want to Inflict such pain on herself as re reading It, over and over, until the pages were worn and crumpled. Wondering why the tears came, when sbe had believed the last of her tears were shed. Wondering why she wanted to see Dickey again if only to hurt him as badly as he had hurt her. That was ltl She wanted to hurt him! To humiliate him and make him cringe and suffer. To show him how terribly, terribly little it meant. . . . An Idea, In those days, was an accomplished feat with Hope. Quite subtly she favored Betty Preston, cultivating her closest friendship. Until Anally she con fided, with beautiful finesse, and a secrecy that flattered Betty Into ecstasies, that sbe wanted to go to the Prom at Harmouth. Delighted with having a hand In an adventure, Betty wrote to Two some. And Twosome, after con siderable bribing and counter-bribing, dug up a "blind date" for Hope for the Prom. A boy, wrote Two some, named Tuck Hall, who was a sophomore like himself. After accepting the Invitation from her blind dato, Hope sought Judy's confidence. Tltert are friends In whom you can confide and feel safe with your secrets. There are other friends who do not even demand confidence. Judy refused to listen to why Hope -Goody's Showere wished her to lie. Judy waved aside explanations. "You're old enough to know what you're doing, Hope. I'll help you to be a lady or a chump, Hither way, it doesn't matter, Poison or poison. And It you're being a chump, I'd Just as well not know. W.nt l don't know I can't talk about." Orntetully Hope explained ahe was Koliig somewliore for a week end. And her family mustn't dream of her whereabouts or question her absence. fCopirfonf, Crace Perfcfnt) A fine ptat-'but thtre It s fatal flaw. Hop It ruaclv turrritod te rn orrtw. WASHINGTON, March 34.
