YOUNG SET Ny W A Hand-Me-DOwn Story

Just make him think Trina left

Clairmont seethed with excitement.
Everybody assumed that Lutte had
eloped, and everybody nearly died OF
curiosity, because no one had known
she had a beau.
The Seldens simply shut their an.
cestral doors and said nothing. Tad
Vernon came back from Montana, but
this time there was no doubt OF the
fact that he was grief-stricken. He
kept strictly to himself and growled
at anybody who so much as spoke
to him. He didn't come near the tea
room, and Babs went mad with the
responsibility Lutte had thrust upon
I her.
1t was on Sunday morning that she
saw him idly batting tennis balls
against the side of the barn, so she
rushed across to get her disagreeable
duty over with. She really made an
eloquent speech, for she'd been lying
awake nights composing IL.
But Tad looked at the ring i'm amaze
ment and declared he'd never seen 1t
before in his life.
And whoever bought il paid about
S498 at a sale" he declared. looking
at it professionally in the sunlight.
but you sent it to her parcel post

II did not" he retorted. II sent
her the key TO the tennis court, so
she could practice for her tourna-
ment. l went off in such hurry that

to admire their nerve. eloping right
out from under that old lady's nose.
He gulped hard. You'd have en-
pected it from the older two, they
were so man-crazy--but Lutte his
voice broke. why. | thought Lutte
would have more sense-she-she--

He paused wretchedly.
Il wouldn't want to let anybody
know about it, but---but-well, I'm
just about knocked for a goal--com-
ing home to find Lutte married. And
whoever he is. If he doesn't treat her
right" he ended vehemently, hes
got me to answer to-"
There were tears in his eyes. He
brushed them away.
Gosh he added. did you ever see
anything in this world so sweet as
Lutie's frown?"
Babs wasn't awfully coherent, but,
when she got through what she had
to say, Ted Vernon was dashing to-
ward his house. over his shoulder he
called wildly:
Hand -me-down. indeed. Let her try
to hand me down to anybody
Evening star., 1927-05-15

With the loquacity of the old, she toid
anybody who would listen to her that
the girl had thrown herself away on a
nobody, just as Charlotte had
"I shall see to it that Lutte doesn't
make such an idiot Of herself" she
told Babs Bliss. II shall see to it
that Lutte makes a proper alliance.
Lutte. who looked perfectly CHASTITY
these days, didn't say a word. She
just scowled.
But one Thursday night, just as
Babs was closing the front door, she
saw the girl come running up the
path as If she were pursued.
She was trying very hard to keep
from crying, as she put the sapphire
ring into Babs' hand.
will you do something for me?"
she asked in a trembling voice. Tad
Vernon is coming home Saturday
You see-he-he doesn't know about
Trinas getting married. | want you
to give him this-this ring that he
sent Trina I think it was beastly
of her. The sobs came. and Babs
led the girl to a chair.
''Of course. he'll feel badly" she
began.
Il don't care il he does,' Lutte
burst out passionately. II don't care
what grandmother says about it!
will not try to comfort him! / will
not have him thrown at me as a
hand me down, I'm sick of having
only things that Charlotte and Trina
are through with! I'm going to run
away--some place where nobody can
find me. and I'll earn my own livingi
I just can't stay here and have grand
mother throw me at Tad, I'm going
where / can get something that's just
my own-some job. I'm tired OF
being third in everything!
when Charlotte was born every
body sent the loveliest silver cups and
pOrringers--a whole shelfful OF them.
When Trina was born they sent cum
ming little baby jackets and-b'b-boot-
ees, B-but when / came-oh. third
girl is a joke. All / got was what
was left over and g-gOod wishes-not
even new pram,"
The girl was plucky. She actually
had her bag on the porch. She had
enough money to last while. and she
thought she knew where she could
get the job she wanted. Babs couldn't
dissuade her. and secretly she didn't
want to. And she had to swear that
she wouldn't tell where Lutte was
going.
But. at that, Lutte" Babs said
slowly. Tad is an awfully nice chap.
and you might learn to love him and.

She made Babs promise she wouldn't
tell that she'd brought the ring.
