By OLENN CUAFFIN and UAL fOBKKSI BYNOPSlBf The marrtae of Hope Koet and Dickey Dale hat been annulled by Hope' father. but Hope ie determined to see Dickey, who it in college at liar month. Mr. Hot hat told Hope that Dickey hat not tried to ace her, ' knowing he prevented the meeting. Hop leant to get even. Chapter 22 WEEK-END ADVENTURE IUDY lit a cigarette and frowned with deep thought She had a date herself that week enda precious date with Tom Foat the guy you couldn't auck a lemon In front of when he worked. But Judy never even mentioned the date. She planned to go visit bor Aunt Meg In Boston and Hope was to accompany her. They'd fix It with Judy's and Hope's families, and fix It with Aunt Meg, who remem bered her handkerchief-flirtatious youth, and adored to help Judy In any adventure that smacked of ro mance. The flippancy with which Hope expressed her thanks was delib erately used between them and deeply understood. Judy could understand the pale determination In Hope's thinning face, but Hope could never understand what It cost Judy to forego her own week end. But the sacrifice was worth It, for Hope semed slightly more able to face the gruelling routine of winter, with Judy's lie to protect ber when the time came. In February because Charlie had an opportunity to go to Europe Goody and Charlie Rand were married. And many's the (hip that has been launched with far less ex citement and cost than the wedding of the elder daughter of John How ard Ross. Hope steeled neraelf, trying not to feel scalded and poisoned at the algbt of Goody's Joy. Trying to throw herself Into the preparations, and running herself ragged In her effort to show Goody that she vxun't envious, and that she did wish Goody all the happiness she bad missed for herself. Endless were Hope's activities until at last Mama Ross, touched and com forted, turned tbe bulk of the de tails lrto Hope's surprisingly capa ble bands. Tbe more Hope worked and planned for Goody's wedding, the closer she felt to ber sister, for the first time In ber life. Yet each day, tbe sadder and more lonely she felt for herself, until she verged on self-pity that required newer and greater deviltries to forestall what be termed "sloppy sentimentality." But tbe strain was great. Aud nobody was more relieved than Hope not even the bride herself when at last the wedding was ac complished. Church and Ivory satin, flowing lace veil that swept Into a train, organ music that made your beart bulge against your ribs, choral voices and misty eyes, son orous words spoken by the minis ter anc listened to by a soupy-eyed eburebful, reporters and camera men, Charlie damp and whltely nonchalant, Goody aeraphlo and transformed by ber costume Into a ymbol of all .womanly bliss While Hope stood bohlnd her. In peach chiffon, a huge be-llowered picture bat on ber golden head, ber yes fixed on the pearls that rode up and down, up and down, on Goody's chest as she breathed. . . , Hope, with a aweot smile and ten der eyea, never once showing tbe white feather, never once giving sign of her Innermost thoughts. "I should have been standing there," pounded her beart, "dressed like that, with Dickey by my side. And then be wouldn't have had to leave me, because I wouldn't have, been disinherited at all. And I wouldn't care If ha loved me juat for my money as long as be loved me. . . . Only what's the use of a man like that? I'm better off with out him. God knows If I can't find a man to be a man, I'll go to my grave an old maid. It that organ doesn't quit, I'll go craty. . . . Goe, rou we'll have a big reception. And Goody'U get dressed and sail tonight on the big boat, and bave a awell honeymoon, and she's got enough presents to keep her for lite. "Charlie Is a nice boy, but heaven (orbld I'd ever fall for anybody like htm. If 1 could find aomcbody Just like Dickey, only a real red-blooded man like he farmed to be a man who'd put up a fight for you and face tbe music ... Oh hell, they don't make men llk that, 1 sup pose. . . . Maybe I'll go out and get a Job aa a nice little shop girl or In an office somewhere and not give my name. And see what kind of men I'd meet, end what kind of men care tor a girl Just (or herself and not for what she's cot ... "Look at Goody! She'll burst with happiness. Look at Mother; she's AT HUOrNg, Ora., March JS (API Or, Clarence W. Bptara, football eoach at University of Oregon, stated positively today that he has dellnltelr ended negotiations with University of Wisconsin alumni who had aaked him to accept a coaching poaltlon at that school.

Was It my fault I picked a bum to love? I guess I'm only attractod to bums. If only Dickey would give me a tumble again, I'd be smack at bis feet like fun I would! I'll go up to that Prom, and maybe I won't give him a razzle-dazzle he won't forget In one big hurry! I'll go up there and show blm what they mean by this here business of a woman scorned. ..." But Hope, up In Harmon th, hadn't a chance to give Dickey Dale a razzle-dazzle. Not a chancel for all that she bad planned so carefully, getting Judy to lie for her; for all that she had bardly been able to sit still beside Betty Preston on the long ride up In tho train; for all that she dressed for the big dance with a nervousness sbe hadn't known since tbe first tlmi ahe had fibbed to her mother about smoking, for all that her gown and ber entire outfit was the most stun ning, the most expensive, and the most breathlessly selected In over a year, Hope hadn't a chance! Twosome Hubbard and Tuck Hall (a big, strapping moron, with a wart on bis chin, rubbery Hps, and a grudge against the world) bad met Hope and Betty at tbe station, and conducted them to tbe frater nity house where they were both Inmates. Betty, assigned with a girl In tbe chorus to Twosome's room, and Hope, bunked with a Canadian beauty In Tuck's, Imme diately proceeded to coax and bribe tbelr room-mates to swap, so that Betty and Hope might be together In Tuck's room. Not a word was spoken about Dickey Dale then or later, as they dropped over to a basket-ball game, bad dinner at a near-by restaurant, and went back to their room to dress, with admonitions from the boys to be ready In three hours at least. It was while they were dressing that Betty poured out ber heart She knew Hope had seen quite ob viously that her beloved Twosome was 111 pale, nervous and Jumpy. He was, Betty explained a bit tear fully, so nervous that he was al most out of his mind. The truth was that Twosome was tbe boot logger of Harmouth. The boy bad to work bis way through college, and Inasmuch as his only asset was a speedy foreign car, plus the fact that Harmouth was near the Cana dian border, Twosome made a run at least once a month. But now be was terrified; not only because he had been chased more than once In the Inst winter; but also because the boys talked boasted of Twosome's brave adven tures when he raced up to Canada and back again with no headlights. Betty admitted to Hope (who wasn't listening) how brave she thought her Twosome was, but she so dreadfully wanted hlra to quit Twosome thought only of tbe dis grace and sorrow on bis widowed mother It he were caught and tbe stretch he might have to do; but Betty thought ot the physical dan gers to her darling tbe shots from the chasing car, the headlong apeed on the dark roads. . . . Her one aim was to make Tv osome quit before bo was a nervous wreck who Jumped at the sound ot hl own name. Hope sighed as the tragedy trickled through hor preoccupied mind, and turned to comfort Betsy, and offer Impulsively, whatever money Twosome needed to finish his education. He could pay hor back any time. . . . And then she snapped Irritably at Betty's grate ful tears, smothering the wlsb tlat someone would comfort her In her own heartache. But the shock came during tbe second dance at the big hall. When Twosome Hubbard, guiding Hope carefully through the crowded floor. opined that hers must have been a painful and thunderous marriage. "Whyf" Hope frowned whimsi cally up Into bis face. "Well, Dale beard yesterday aft ernoon that you were coming and he beat It like a shot I " "Beat It?" "Back to town, He's gone down to New York to see his father." But" Hope managed to loom amused, and In spite ot tbe dlszy chill that bad suddenly struck hor "what about the girl the girl be was having up to the Prom?" How do I know?" grinned Two some. "Maybe there wasn t any such critter. Dale'a been sour aa five-day milk all this year. I found out a lot about him. He hasn't had a girl or gone to a bop since last Yom Klppur." "Oh-really?"
