HOPE REBELS
WHAT Betty Preaton said, even as
he accepted the promised
money (or ber nervous, bootlegging
Twosome, hardly mattered; but cer
tainly Hope had outgrown her
queenly reign In the younger smart
set. She was known In her own
circle as a wild 'un, and was consid
ered by the fond parents of fifty
miles radius "an unwholesome Influ
ence." As a tombstone, deliberately
raised, Hope refused polntblank to
"come out" She laughed at the Idea
raucously. She come out! It was
too Idiotic! Bhe, who had been a
horrified whisper In Westchester, In
Harmouth, and In Italy, protested
triumphantly against Mama's man
gled pride, and decided that society
should never know her officially.
Again Hope found two steady and
reliable reins In guiding the balky
.horse ot her caroer. Rusty Crandall,
now out of college himself, and con
fined from ten to tour In the offices
of his father's huge chocolate firm
while Hope went horseback riding
each morning, generally In the com
pany of Rusty Crandall. More and
more frequently Hope drove over to
her sister's bouse In the afternoons,
staying only when Goody was alone.
and finding a strange solace in long
talks with the puszling stranger
who had grown up with her. Often,
Hope would sit for long spaces In
silence, while Goody checked bills
or made out weekly menus, or wrote
Invitations to dinner parties. Lis
tening to Goody's quiet, low-voiced
confidences with only occasional
monosyllables for an answer.
It was a strange friendship be
tween the sisters who had grown up
despising each other. At sight of
Mope, Goody would set about mix
ing a highball (which she never
drank herself) and upon each visit
Hope would drag a new piece of
linen, a boudoir clock, n etching,
or a fresh supply of liquor and
would frown upon Goody If she
dared express gratitude. Yes,
strange companionship and under,

was a bit frightened of her husband't

above all, whon she longed to break
faith with the Rossos Sr., and toll

where Angel had been given him as

that he might go out and enjoy him

the business than Rusty ever
would.) And Judy Hunt, who had

successful one, her parents' finan
cial reverses notwithstanding)

Judy and Rusty. That was all that
Hope's life held. With a generous
sprinkling of Goody who wanted
desperately to be kind In spite ot
the taot that Charlie vigorously dis
approved ot Hope. Hope wondered
at Goody. Marriage seemed to have
humanized her; love seemed to have
softened her. It was her turn, now,
to pity Hope. The tables were
turned. But she did her pitying with
magnificent kindness and ease.
Hope marveled and turned to her
sister with mute appeal, halt hat
ing herself for doing It, and never
really confiding, for somehow she
knew that with all Goody's new but
very natural sweetness, she would
tell anything and everything to
Charlie. And as a result Charlie
would grunt otteiior at In eight u!

In the spring, Hopo took a four
weeks' trip with Judy to Bermuda,
accepting without protest Papa's In
slstence upon a chaperon. This
chaperon, oue Mrs. Manly, wae a
forlorn remnant of the Ross family
on Mama's side. A woman who had
been too true to be good, and who,
as a widow of a war hero, was t err
ing with magiilllcent grace.
The trip to Bermuda, however,
was cut short hy a week because
Massy was taken 111. Back to New
York rushed Hope, magnificently
tanned and far moro rested and
steadied than she drentned. And
In ber trail came Mrs. Manly, slight
ly brokenhearted at having so
abruptly to end her first vacation In
seven years, and Judy who had quite
tired of Hornmdn anyway.
Satny, given personal treatment
and home visits by the best cat doc-
tor In New York, recovered shortly,
and Hope breathed with a relief thai
brought a puff of disgust from Mnina
Ross.
The spring dragged Interminably
exaggerated pride kept Hope's
closed, so the two talked of every
thing but a hapless marriage In the
face of a blissful marriage.
Often, too, when she was In town
shopping, Hope would drop over to
the tiny apartment In Gramercy
Park that was Mrs. Manly's home.
There she would listen to past sor
rows, untarnished joys and tri
umphs, unforgotten heartaches and
grief. Those hours with Mrs. Manly
seeped Into Hope's heart. A life
spread out before her a story lived
and told her for the first time a
human being capable of sitting back
and taking the rough deals when life
bad bold so much. It drew Hope
strangely close, particularly when
without a painful word betwee:i
them, Mrs. Manly understood Hope'
listless sllenoe, and unders'roc
about Sassy. . , .
