She had just about decided to waste away before their very eyes| —mother’s and father's very eyes— into & mere shadow of her present | self. , She'd be wan and pensive, she | determined, but withal firm. She | | wanly drew a sticky caramel from | the bag in her pocket and pensively | popped it into her mouth; thnen | chewed it firmly. It was the wrong | moment, psychologically, to eat a | | caramel. The screen door swung | open and there was mother. i % X Apparently they'd driven the car | around to the back instead of puil- | ing up in front first, according to their invariable custom. Another in- | | stance, Sally thought, of the thought- | lessness and generally callous conduct of parents. She hastily swallowed the | caramel, almost choking in the process. Mrs. Richards looked at her 13- year-old daughter and sighed. “Are you still mooning over that silly boy?” she asked. Sally had recovered from the cara- mel sufficiently to answer: “He 1sn't |silly; and I'm not mooning.” She drew the corners of her mouth down ‘wmrully, according to plan, and added: “No one understands me— | that's the trouble!" Mrs. Richards indulged in another | sigh and continued her reproach. “But, Sally, don’t you esee how silly youre being? At your age to be | s0 serious over a boy! You're mak- | ing yourself look very foolish; every | one is laughing at you.” “Let them laugh,” said Sally with all the dignity she could muster. | “Jim and 1 are"—she'd saved up this phrase for a long time—"spir- | its set apart.” | Mrs. Richards controlled an im- | pulse to laugh and said sternly; | “You're a pair of young fools! Two | silly kids! Sally, I forbid you to | see that boy again.” | | Sally could think of no adequately | crushing reply; so she did her best to look wistful. She even tried to turn | pale—a difficult thing for a healthy | little girl with rosy cheeks to do. | Anyway, she felt pale. Mother ap- | | parently did not notice. She went | right on talking. | “Why can't you be a little more | interested in your studies? Father has been hoping that you'd be on ! the honor roll soon. Think how it | would please him. And you wouldn't | have that little Janet Turk calling you a dummy. Janet is always on | the honor roll.” | Sally’s eyes flashed. ‘“Janet Turk | is a—a——" There was some elegant | word that she wanted, but couidn't | quite remember, and she finished with, | | “a goof, that's what she is!” | | | | cited about. | old brother has it right now.” ‘ contentedly. steady together. At the conclusion | of the discussion he ‘smiled lovingly at his wife. “Why, Martha," he chuckled, “that'’s nothing to get ex- IYIl turn out all right | in the end. Just you wait, she will be all right. Don't worry.” In the meantime up in her room Sally was thinking. If she commit- ted suicide then her parents would be sorry. Ah, a better plan. She | could elope. That would be ex-| citing. So romantic, too, to have Jim whistle under her window or throw a pebble at it, put a ladder up and take her away with him. No, that wouldn't do. | She would have to wait till after the sophomore hop. She had to go to | that, for Jim had asked her weeks | ahead of time. l | | Jim was such a man! % % & ¥ He was sophisticated; he never talked about the usual things in | school, but always how he wouid be an aviator when he got out of school, I and would fly away with her. He | wasn't silly or young. He wasn't a | child. She,smarted inwardly, thinking how her mother had called them kids. Kids! Why, she was grown up and | so was Jim. Why, Jim had even driven the car himself. Yes, they | could get married right away. A knock at the door startled her. “Come | in,” she grumbled. | It was her mother. Her face was | sober. “Sally, dear"—Sally was al- ways afraid of that tone—“don't be too upset.” | “What is it?” “Jim- e “Yes, go on,” she said anxiously. “Here is a note from his mother.” Sally didn’t notice her mother’s smile. Sally’s hand trembled as she tore an edge raggedly from the envelope. If Jim should be sick or dead—oh. As she read the note her expres- sion changed from one of fear to disgust. She threw the letter down, crossed the room and savagely picked up an algebra book. Retrieving the let- ter, Mrs. Richards read its contents. “Why, Sally, chickenpox.” “Poor boy—think of me going with a kid who gets children’s diseases! | Of all things. Measles, scarlet fever, | mumps, anything is better than chick- enpox. Why, Janet Turk's 10-year- the poor boy has | With the image of her hero's face queerly dotted with red spots before | her, Sally opened the algebra book | indignantly and started to figure “X” | as the unknown quantity of anything, | savagely thinking that it might even be chickenpox. Mrs. Richards sighed again—very (Copyright. 1935.) DIVORCE ACTION PRIVATE! |Son of International C. of C. Head Is Sued in Netherlands.
