SYNOPSIS CM the three pretty Wickham (tris, Margaret, the eMest, la the vrettJeat, It in she who supplies the boy friends for the younger girls, Natalie and Barbara, and for many of her friends. With most of the eligible young men of the community to choose from. Margaret >lcks Kenneth Raleigh, penniless but popular and handsome young football hero. One night, while at Margaret's home, dressing for the Senior Ball. Sue Decker, her best friend, breaks down and confesses that she also loves Kenneth. The morning after the dance, Bahs calls Sue a “body snatcher" for trying to win Km. Margaret springs to the defense of her friend saying she to spoiled because her wealthy parenta Indulge her too much. CHAPTER V Aunt Bet said in her soft, deliberate voice, “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” •It buys nearly everything else," Natalie said dryly. "Maggie, you have to admit she was a knockout in that dress. and as for her ermine wrap—" “Ermine?" Aunt Bet inqured. “isn’t that very old-fashioned, my dear?" "Oh, Aunt Bet—NO! It’s new Everybody wears it Jackets, you know, without the tails. Not like that thing you used to have with the tails on it." "Nevertheless 1 consider it unsuitable for a young girl to wear to a frat dance." With a gesture of despair, Natalie gave up and attacked her last bit of hotcake savagely. But Baba cried. •‘Oh, Aunt Bet I’ve told you. NOBODY says frat! FRATERNITY Besides it was the senior ball. And her dress was a marvel. Listen, it came from Maison Claire, and it was the original Paris model, not the copy. Say, with a dress like that anybody’d look like a million!” "You were not satisfied with ••our gown. Babe my dear?” It was Babe’ turn to rush and caress her father. "My darling blue? Os course! I LOVE IT!” Aunt Bet said. 'lt’s a great ■train outfitting three young girls. I don’t know how your father does It I said I don’t know how you do it. Alex. Really, I don’t." Alex Wickham acknowledged the compliment with a faint nod of hii handsome head. His egc satisfied, he returned to the paper. Daddy disposed of. Bahs came back to the case at hand. “What 1 can’t see ts why Sue Is so set on Ken. Aside from his belonging to you—” Aunt Bet leaned forward. This wm her chance. "That’s just it! A grocery man’s son. when both you girls know so many really fine young men!” It went right over their heads “It’s BECAUSE he’s mine that she wants him,” Margaret said without malice. "That’s exactly why. 1 really think that Ken Raleigh Is th< only thing in life Sue knows sh< can’t have. And that, of course makes him priceless. The fact tha’ he’s mine, and that he positive!] hates her, doesn’t bother her a 1 all!” "But I still can’t understand it,’ Babe insisted. "Ken is Ken, an. ill that But you know what th< Deckers are. And for that mat ter, you could do better. Mnggte—“Oh —could I?” -•w«il gnsnrieltv and soriaiiy- ■

1 Rm, humming a song attracted i the attention of a talent scout, i She started her career at DOO a . week. o Siren Fool* Countryside South Yarmouth. Mass.— (U.R) — When the fire siren cut loose with a screech shortly after midnight—and kept up the din tor an hour — residents of this community and tour neighboring villages joined volunteer fire-fighters in a hunt for the blaze. Their nocturnal trek was futile. The alarm was caused by a short circuit—in the siren.

-After all, those th’ngs are important," Aunt Bet said. Her thin, handsome face was puckered by anxiety "And when a girl sees too much of one young man and says, even in fun that he’s hers, other young men are inclined inclined ..." Margaret hadn’t meant tn tell She’d meant to keep it a secret a little while longer. But dear Aunt Bet, so worried, so afraid that Ken

"So THAT’S why you weren’t ‘ worried about Sue!" cried Baba, to whom an engagement was as final as a wedding vow, which was the ! safest, surest thing in the world. ' "Because you had it an BETp TLED!” Aunt Bet had her thin, heavily s ringed hand at her throat. Her 8 unhappy eyes sought her brother’s, u Alex Wickham cleared his throat, e He said, ’Are you serious about this, my dear?" i. "Serious!" Margaret cried. “Serie ous! I'm telling you Tm going to it be married!" I “To voung Raleigh 7" lc “Well, Daddy—who else ... I ie mean, I thought everybody knew—e, hat it was pretty well understood it that some day we—” y Some of the light had gone out it of Margaret’s eyes. Hurt, puzzled, she looked from her aunt to her ” father and back again. "Don’t you id LIKE htm?” she asked, her voice m breaking. t- Aunt Bet continued to clutch at ■ " her throat as though her black velvet rtbhon wore too tight. i Alex Wickham rose and drew his

He’s a fine lad, and I know I shall tx very proud of him—of you both But you’re very young, and 1 thought that other things would come first Perhaps a trip. My cousin, Jed, in Surrey—-see a bit oi life first, you know—" "Cousin Jed!" Babe said undei her breath, for Cousin Jed was like India—something you heard about

I all the time, out never heard from "And at 19 a young girl is inclined to forget," Aunt Bet put ir hopefully, "that material advantages do matter. In the old country—” “If that's all that’s worrying you!” Margaret wiped wet eyes i with the back of her hand, beamed I on her drooping aunt, her anxious ■ father. "You SCARED me. 1 thought you didn’t like him or • didn't want me to get married, or something. Goodness, I don't care . about material advantages as Aunt - Bet calls them, or travel either. Besides we'll have all that later. Daddy—say you're glad. Come on t —say it—please.” Alex Wickham avoided his sls- - ter’s eyes. He looked down at his » radiant daughter, and in spite of himself, he smiled. "My dear child, if you’re happy I must be glad.” 1 Babs and Natalie, slightly awed -by the serious tone the conversa--3 tion had taken, took the opportunity now to cheer. * Babs thought I hope she doesn’t ' weaken and let Sue be a bridesr maid. u e Natalie thought — there, isn’t that just like her Getting engaged ,t in Senior week. No wonder I never have any luck. She has it all. (To I* continued) s i Copyright King Features Syndicate. ln<-
