CHATTER XVI

OLAkLL GR NV
Cherry took her cue from this
new friend, whom she introduced to
Anne as Corinne Osborne. Cherry
had all manner of little affectations.
She felt uncomfortable in Anne's
presence because in her heart of
hearts she knew she was incapable
OF q friendship like Anne's for her.
At college she had curried favor
with Corinne because In addition
to the fact that Corinne's people
had loads o: money, Corinne's sharp
people made 1t necessary to be on
her right side. Cherry considered
1t one of the greatest triumphs OF
her career when Corinne had con-
scented to come to Greenville for the
Christmas holidays, and in Cherry's
small heart she was angered that
Anne should have come here like
this. Hadn't she given. Anne to I'M
derstand that their childhood
friendship was at an end? She had
only written Anne two short notes
during the entire term, and they
had been full of college affairs and
the fact that Cherry was very busy
and so forth. And now here was
Anne In her shabby old clothes.
What on earth would Corinne
think?
C0rfnne, after n comprehensive
look at Anne, utterly ignored her.
She drew her slim legs under her
on the bed and chartered to Cherry
Of things about which Anne knew
nothing. Cherry gave her all of her
attention, throwing a glance or a
word at Anne occasionally, and
wishing uncomfortably that she
would go.
Anne had come to the Hardings
tingling all owe with the delicious
wish of confding her secret about
the Carpenters to Cherry. There
had been no one to tell about 1t up
to now. and Anne had wanted to
tell Cherry everything. Now she
saw that 1t would be impossible.
After about ten minutes of agony
she rose uncertainty.
ooh, are you going" Cherry ask
ed, with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, l must" Anne returned.
Cherry scrambled out OF bed and
threw a kimona over her shoulders.
She was slightly more cordial now,

seeing that she knew that Anne was
about to depart.
Forgive my seeing you like this"
she said, In her throaty little voice,
but Corinne and 1 are simply dead
these days, and we're sleeping late
every morning."
And the string Of plans you have
made for the holidays stretch right
out to the last minute" Corinne OBJ
served, examining her finger nails
closely as she threw this bomb shell.
by the way, Cherry, what are you
going to wear tomorrow night at
the dancer"
Even Cherry flushed at this. 1t
was one thing to let Anne know in
directly hat she was not included
In any of the Christmas festivities,
but it was quite another to talk
right before her of affairs to which
she was not invited.
Young as she a zand silly,
Cherry was not cruel. She was
shallow and heartless, but she was
not malicious and venomous. Be-
sides, she realized with a stab of
her conscience that she had invited
Bill Snyder to the dance tomorrow
night. OF course, as she reasoned
to herself, Anne had told her last
summer that she could not bear
Bill Snyder, but perhaps things had
changed since then, and Anne
seemed 80 alone and so pathetic.
And SO 1t was with some of her
old, sweet manner that she said
goodbye to Anne, and she turned
back to Corinne with reproach in
her voice after Anne had gone.
what made you speak about the
dance? 1t hurt her terribly"
Corinne raised her eyebrows. my
dear, why shouldn't I speak of 1t. I
never dreamed that you knew this
girl well enough to invite to your
you were just being kind to her"
"Oh, l was, but I don't like to
hurt her"
you couldn't hurt her IL she
weren't expecting to come here"
Corinne observed.
Not for the world would Cherry
have admitted to Corinne that a
very real friendship had existed be-
tween Anne and herself at one time,
and so the subject of Anne vas
dropped and Cherry proceeded to
get back into C~orinne's good graces
by talking of other things. above
all, the dance to be given in honor
Of Corinne the next evening.
Mrs.. Harding called out a good
bye to Anne Is the girl came down
stairs, and then she watched the
girls figure go down the street. II
she had known 1t, Anne was SO
~perilously close to tears that she
had not dared to stop and speak to
Mrs. Harding. Cherry had meant
something very real to her, some
thing dear that she had chung to
and now it had been torn out of her
grasp forever.

Watermelon rinds make delicious
sweet pickles. So although melons
may be quite expensive to buy, they
will produce a ~by-product in the
form OF pickles that reduces their
cost in the long run
If the melon Is served as a cock
tail and cut in balls, the rind is left
intact If the fruit is to be used
as dessert, a nice way to serve il is
to cut triangular-shaped pieces and
remove the rind. leaving only the
red heart OF the melon. Both OF these
ways of serving watermelon preserve
the rind for use IN picking.
To make watermelon pickles, pare
of carefully the green part Of the
rind. Trim of also any of the red
part. Cut in lengths about one inch
thick and two inches long. To six
teen cups OF melon rinds use three
teaspoons of salt. Put rinds and salt
in a kettle with water to nearly
cover and boil until tender. Pour
into q colander and drain. Dry

vinegar to two cups of sugar. Add

combining raspberries and cider
