Here Begins the Romantic Story OF Beautiful Boots Raeburn---

 What's chewin' you?" Patty now wanted to know. "Nobody's out on the float but the kids. Stick around" Patty's keen dark. eyes followed Boots in the direction of the red sail. She smiled know ingly.

 Isabel giggled. Boots seemed not to have heard.
 Any of you sand lizards coming in the water?" She hated Patty for what she had just said. Patty had seen Hardy's look at her last night. Patty resented any one else receiving attention of any kind. es- pecially from Hardy.
 Jim Eberman unwound himself from the steamer rug on which he had been lying and followed her.
 "Race you to the Point. Boots!"
 She ran, glad of the chance to get away from the others, glad of the motion, the exuberance, that made her forge the hatefulness of Patty. She had been silly, of course, even to think that Hardy's gentle atten- tions the night before had meant anything at all.
 She dove from the float. cleaving the water neatly, coming up wet and sleek as a seal. Jim, rangy and sandy-haired, prawny shoul- dered, followed her to the topmost step of the float where they sat, dangling their legs.
 "Cigaret?"
 "No. thanks. Not this minute"
 Jim said idly. "Comin' to the fracas tomorrow night"
 Boots smiled at him quickly. eagerly. What fracas?"

He frowned. squinting through t.. smoke. Sorry. Y. Guess pulled a boner."
 She shrugged her shoulders. 'Never mind."
 "It was only" said the boy awk- wardly, "a shindig the Rivers are giving at the club. I thought you Il just took it for granted"
 "Oh, that!" Boots lifted one eye brow with faint smile. It didn't surprise her in the least that Sylvia was giving a party and not asking her. But it hurt just the same. There had been Raeburns in Larchncckj before there had been any Yacht Club. Tonight Sylvia's crowd would dance on the veranda under the bright lanterns. It was regatta week. Boots cared most awfully. She would not be

 Boots dawdled into the kitchen, touching things idly. carrying in a plate of bread dreamily. She had never been taught to do anything around the house. There had been a succession of maids, fat. lean. en- ergetic, lazy, all through her child hood and young girlhood. She knew low to make sandwiches for her tea parties, how to make iced

 "'Scuse me, then. I don't want any dessert" The girl pushed back her chair and her father frowned.
 Seems to me you might wait till we finished. All this rushing about"
 He sighed as his wife removed plates, bringing in a crusly, dim pied strawoerry shortcake. Boots voice. with it's incest infections, could be heard from the hallway.
 q. Delighted. So nice of you to want me. At 7:30-"
 She came back, creature trans figured, all her languor gone. What do you suppose? She's giv- ing dinner party at the Yacht Club tomorrow night and wants me. Can't imagine why"
 "Your plaid organdie needs pressing" Mrs Raeburn said mild iy. And your slippers. :" ".Oh, I ought to have new ones," | Boots lamented, with a side glance at her father. He was grimly eat ing his way through red and white pyramid, not seeming to en- joy it. Her mother threw her an alert, warning glance.
 Later, as the two women washed up the supper things, Mrs Raeburn said, Iow-toned: Better not bother Daddy about new slippers. He's troubled about bills this month. The mortgage payment comes due the 27th, you know" at
 Boots lifted her brows. Heavens person couldn't even mention such a tritie as new shoes in this house without starting something.
 Tt doesn't matter" But she said it modify. The brown and yellow plaid organdie cried out for new bronze slippers.
 She wiped lowered dishes dreamily. staring out over the clipped green of the lawn. MT Rae burn tad settled himself in his porch rocker by this time. She could hear the pages rattling. could hear the squeak of the rockers as he went back and forth. Why was life like this, she wondered? Sylvia Rivers and everything-she had only to stretch out her hand and the world was hers. Tomorrow night she. Boots Raeburn, would have to take hre dancing steps in old. shabby shoes, while Sylvia queensd 1t over them all-Hardy included--dressed in the most ele- gant and expensive raiment. It wasn't fair!
 That's all, lovey." Her mothers sympathetic voice showed that the older woman's mood fitted into hers. Boots felt an instant's com junction. Mother worked hard. Things never seemed to "break" just right for her. Daddy was

 The telephone rang and Boots slid to answer it. It might be Hardy :. it might be anything. At IS, the telephone is magic chain, connecting one with magic worlds, infinite possibilities. Her voice sounded only faintly disap- pointed. ..-
 >"Oh Daddy? Yes, coming right down to get you.'
 Mir Eaeburn was on the plat form as she fooled the big, shabby car into place. He climbed in. his old panama in his hand, and pecked his daughters cheek lan guidly.
 "Tcrrible day!"
 'TerriL .e!" Boots agreed bright ly. Want to get in swim before dinner?"
 q don't think so. Too tired" He sighed deeply.
 Boots was conscious of mo- mentary and instantly quelled feel ing of impatience. Daddy was al ways tired. If he's make an effort to go down to the beach. have swim, he'd feel better. Thus 1S observes 51.

Oh, it was hateful ,.. hateful!
 Sorry, I didn't hear what you said, Mother"
 Mrs Waterman called up. She wants you to call back"
 Boots frankly stared. Mrs Wa. terman's summons were not lightly to be disregarded. She was the local president of the Colonial Danes, practically ran the Wo. mans Club free handed. Boots had worked with her on junior commit tees.
 What on earth do you suppose she wants?"
 Mrs Raeburn shrugged shoulders

Boots would have died rather than admit it, but for years now she had cherished secret passion for T.rdy.
