NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER V
Pat was living in awhirl Of
gayety these days, going some
where with Jerry Forester al
most every night. But for Joan
the time passed uneventfully.
The care-free life at HolbroOk
Hall was fast becoming a distant
memory. Nowadays she spent her
time trying to lessen the house
keeping burden for her mother,
fixing dainty trays to tempt
Bcnny's tagging appetite, read
ing aloud to him, taking him for
spins on bright days.
Benny selected the drives and
once they drove past the big
stone house where Jerry Forrest
err lived. "Pretty soft for Pats
fellow" Benny had said. staring
at the ornate home. Evon Benny
was impressed!
Joan thought there was some
thing pathetic about her mothers
eagerness to believe Jerry's in
tercst in her younger daughter
was genuine. Mother could re-
member days in the 90's when
FOrrcster's was lust a tiny place
and Mrs. FORESTER was the only
clerk. But money made such Il
difference with Mother. Perhaps
it was because life had been ter
ribly hard for her.
Then there was Bill, saying jo-
vially when the nightly telephone
call brought Pat flying, "Now
talk your hour"
What was the matter with Bill
and Mother and even Benny?
Joan felt a little sick but tried
to hide her feelings and her dis
like of the man she had dubbed
privately Spoiled playboy."
She passed him on Union ave-
nue. one afternoon so engrossed
in the flashily dressed girl with
him that he failed to see her.
Joan did not tell Pat about this.
Pat was so gay and happy. Joan
hadn't the heart to dim that radl-
ance.
Perhaps Jerry FORESTER really
was more decent than she belleV-
ed. He might be merely sOphisti-
| Gated and not a philanderer, aft
er all.
owe said less than half doz-
en- words to him at any time,
Joan thought honestly.
"I'm afraid we misjudged that
young man." Mrs. Warning said
one day. Gle seems very nice
and he's evidently in love with
Pat. He must be to spend all his
time with her"
She waited a moment. Then,
as Joan did not reply, she con
tinued. perhaps he isn't the
type we would have selected for
! Pat. But she likes pretty things
and comforts and it would be
nice for her to marry a rich
man."
81 hate rich men," Joan flared
out suddenly. "Nearly always
they're spoiled. You know, Moth
er, men who have to work for
what they get are finer and more
dependable. I'd rather marry a
poor man."
81 always thought you and Dick
would marry some day." said her
mother.
"Sillvr Joan said. smiling.
