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.
At no time. Dr. Spears said, has
be been In communication with Uni
versity or Wlaconain official since
he announced early two weeks ago
that he will atajp at Orrgon.

so proud of Goody, and she was so
ashamed of me! Who the hell
cares who's ashamed of me! 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?"
