Thy dressed. ihsu. and had
lovely dinner ~ a little table on
ore q the broad vsfsndas that
overlooked ths lake I'm glad
that we're alone tbs first night
a. your vacation. john Aunt
Jenny said
Where are the girls. Aunt
Jenny 80
Both In town doing some
shopping. guess Aunt Jenny
wished for the minute that she
could tell her nephew how mean
they had been u the other girl
guest But Aunt Jenny vas = way
person.
That would scarcely do" she
thought 10 herself. She wouldn't
need do very much more inter-
ferlng in Johns love affairs. sne
decided with satisfaction.
Janet seemed 10 be handling the
situation very nicely.
The week end was hilariously
happy for Janet and John. II not
for the other young people.
Marjorie and Helen did every
thing in their power 10 sidetrack
some Of the attention the red
haired girl received but they were
not very successful.
One Girl
There might Just as well be
only one girl here. Marjorie
grumhled TO Helen. Neither OF
us get asked TO take a swim or a
sail-boat ride or 20 INCORPORATING
or anything else as long as Janet
Reed is anywhere about. Shes the
first choice OF all three Of the men
here at Sunrise Beach and l don't
mean maybe"
4 think you're foolish" Helen
argued.
Foolish that I don't tell John
Patterson that his little light of
fo,ro - a fraud 80
That's exactly what I DO think.
Why don't you tell him point
blank9 She wouldn't dare deny
It."
I bet she would deny it," Mar
jorie said hotly.
We'll, give her a chance. I tell
you II John Patterson finds out
that she's been hoodwinking him,
that she really isn't poor girl
from New York who had to get
out Of the big city because of her
health-well. III bet you he'd just
be furious. He couldn't take it,
that's all"
You think that story of hers
Is just a STALE That she Is in
love with him and that she's just
taking this method to make him
feel sorry for her? Sorry enough
/ to fall in love with her %
That's exactly what I do
think" Helen said I've told you
that a dozen times already. It's
just as plain as the nose on her
face. She's definitely in love with
him. Why just look at the way
she watches every move he makes
and listens TO every word he has
to say.
Afraid She'll Lose
She's afraid that II she tells
him the truth that she's really
Gretchen Reed and has more mil
lions than she knows what to do
with she's just afraid that she'll
lose him.
she knows as well as you know,
or 1 know. that John Patterson
isn't the sort of a man to be crazy
about a rich girl.
He wouldn't marry an heiress
and live on his wife's money. I've
seen other rich girls enter John
Patterson's life--why, he was the
most popular fellow at the univer-
sity He could have had his pick
and choice of any girl. But he
didn't like the wealthy ones"
So he chose you?" Helen sug-
gested, not without rancor. well,
if you had any chance then, you've
lost it now"
Don't be so sure of that" Mar
/ jorie reminded her. Wait until
Wednesday night"
