SYNOPSIS "hornas Jefferson Randolph ~ . v a great football prospect at nous Thorndyke University . . • »as born of humble parents. Mom and Pop, in a little Middle West factory town where he won early renown as a brilliant high school back, so much so that the great eastern college had lured him to its swanky halls. Tommy came home for Christmas, spent much of the tine trying to polish household ’ manners, did not return Easter, but during his summer vacation he caused a most profound sensation throughout critical Athens by 1 flashing on that burg the very latest in sport togs, white knickers, flannels, et al. The neighbors are rather caustic buL as Mom explains it, “if yon fly with fine birds you must wear fine feathers” referring to her boy’s "millionaire college 1 chums” . . . Tommy golfs during • first half of his vacation; then makes himself “as hard as nails” laboring as truck loader in glassworks where bis father and brother, Pete, work. Pete and his girl, Steve, are planning to start a garage and marry; while Mom worries over the attitude of Florae Johnson, neighborhood siren, towards Tommy. 1 The latter is invited to the Country i Club dance by Dorothy Whitney, 1 daughter of the glassworks owner and the town's wealthiest man. 1 Tommy asks Mom to buy a corsage (just what is that?) for Dot, but that problem is settled deftly when Dot meets Mom en route to the florist's. ... At the dance. Dot prods Tommy for high-hatting the home town folk. He can hardly repress rage over this affront to his vanity. ... CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Dot touched his arm. Her voice was warm. “Let’s dance, Tom." He removed his arm from her hand. "Pardon me,” he said. His voice was cold and annoyed. Then, quickly, he stood up. “There’s Jerry Randall. I’ll be back in a moment." He almost bowled through the dancers. Dorothy saw him meet the boy who was evidently Jerry; saw him bow stiffly in best Thorndyke fashion to the girl with Jerry. He was bringing them back. The girl was a brunette, poised, almost stately; her gown of blue sequins modeled a full, curved figure; her face was firm and young and her round, pleasant eyes were inquiring. She was very young, Dorothy quickly decided, but she would mature early. Dorothy wouldn’t They met. She was Constance Mallory and Dorothy recognized the name as one of Smithville’s best. She liked Constance and felt that Connie liked her. Jerry called her Connie and the name quickly slipped into Dorothy’s personal dictionary. Connie was calm. She was almost as tall as Jerry. Jerry gave every indication of being an imp—but Dorothy reserved him for later attention. There was something about Tommy; something annoying and a trifle disturbing; it wasn't that he was still cool with her—that was normal and to be expected. It I was his manner with Connie. He] was stiffly-mannered, almost painfully grammatic. obviously trying to impress—which was something entirely new in Dorothy’s experience with Thomas Jefferson Randolph whose usual attitude conveyed the impression that the rest of the world was a bauble strapped to his wrist There was a quick challenge in Jerry’s blue, sparkling eyes; he had a cute smile that broke all over a well-baked face; his glance of appraisal was flattering; no girl could resent it and be young and human; nor the Husky enthusiasm of his voice.

newspapers In Boston and Chi eago. From bls contact with players, Lardner found Inspiration for his well known “You Know Me Al stories. Sports writers who had eulogized players for years were first surprised, then frankly Imitative of his satires. Lardner once revealed that he had cherished three ambitions to see every baseball game possible, to be a magazine writer, and to have a play produced. He realized all three. He saw

“O-kay Athens” he said, giving a frank impersonation of a young man on the make. “O-kay Smithville!" Dorothy answered heartily, partly in normal response to his manner, partly because Tommy was not pleased with her. He cast a quick look of reproach and from it she got his meaning—these were people to be impressed. Dorothy grinned provocatively at Jerry, The music was (Wrangling in the best jazz manner. She shuffled her feet invitingly. “Well, Dorothy,” said Jerry, “you and I might do all right.” They danced. Jerry was a cute dancer and interested chiefly in his dancing at the moment . . . Tom, gliding conservatively with Connie—although his normal gait was faster than even the pace Jerry was setting—plainly disapproved of her conduct; so Dorothy was nicer to Jerry than she had intended. When Tom's classic jaw tightened she was even nicer to Jerry, so that his mind began to wander from his dancing; and when they were close, she tossed back her head and said merrily: “Hello, Tommy—” because she knew he would not want to be called Tommy before Connie. He smiled the stiff smile of a clown in grease paint and moved away. Jerry said inquiringly: "Did you call him Tommy?” She glanced quickly at his ears. He grinned: “Yes—they're Gables —but we call him Jeff at school.” So they called him Jeff; and Jerry was Thorndyke; and Connie was somebody. Unconsciously Dorothy relapsed to an idiom of childhood: Ain’t our cat got a long tail? But she said to Jerry: “Tommy’s a nickname.” If he wanted to be Jeff—and goodness knows what else at Thorndyke—Dorothy wasn’t going to interfere. Jerry had looked too inquisitive. After the dance she walked with Jerry through the lane of overhanging maples that led. to the first tee. He was much faster than the ordinary new boy and tried to kiss her under the fourth tree — the average was about nine. Because she had encouraged him, Dorothy was more gracious than usual and they came back to the veranda as good friends. % Tom was there with Connie; his chin was still tight and he was handling his cigaret nervously but his manner plainly indicated that he was not at all interested in what had happened under the maples. Dorethy could not resist the temptation to cling to Jerry and smile adoringly into his eyes—and she did it so well that the young man couldn’t help wonder if he had not been too gentlemanly, after all, under the maples. • « • Underneath, Mom was all excitement—everybody in town was and she could hear radios going up and down the street and she guessed every set in town was going because they had got kind of common in the last year. Mom had a new one—not exactly a new one but as good as one because Pete had made a trade of two tires and a monkey I wrench to a man for his second | hand set and then Pete had fixed it up as good as new. He was real handy that way and had a lot of time in his new garage. He had got the tires for almost nothing and had vulcanized them till they were good as new, too. Then, after he had set up the radio he and Steve had sat down. Mom thought they were acting kind of funny but when a knock came to the door and Mom opened it two men from Clark’s walked right in with a big thing with paper around it. Pete and Steve made out they had no idea what it was, either; but here, when they took all the paper off. wasn’t it a dandy easy chair.
