Miy Love is negj /z » BENNETT

..UPSIS Darby is just 20 and ,o love with young Terry Cannon, assistant athletic coach in an upstate college. In June, on a visit to his home in Northwood, he and Connie plan to marry the following October. For the summer, Terry will act as swimming instructor at a boys’ camp and Constance will be secretary to Gordon Keith well-known newspaper correspondent, radio commentator and ladies’ man. As far as Northwood knew. Gordon, its favorite son, had returned to write a book. It did not know that he was ostracised from New York because of a scandal and was also broke. Rosalind Constance’s 18-year-old sister, envies the life of luxury enjoyed by the folk who live in that exclusive part of the town called “The Hills.” She has been seeing the wealthy playboy. Van Howard. Constance warns her he is not serious and would never marry her. “I’ll show you!” Rosalind retorted. “I’U show everybody!” The Monday after Terry left, Constance goes to work for Gordon at the Carter Estate where he is staying. They work on his book all morning and, at noon, while they are lunching in the garden, Avis Bailey, young debutante, drives up in her snappy roadster. “Well, isn’t this coxy?” she remarks in sweet sarcasm. Gordon introduces her to Constance and wonders if the Princess of Northwood is jealous of his lovely secretary. He declines her invitation to play tennis that day, but adds he and Constance will take on Van and her some other time. As Gordon escorts Avis to her car, Constance's eyes follow them. She is troubled, thinking of Van and Rosalind. “I won’t let myself become involved with these people.” CHAPTER VIII Like a blue comet, the roadster disappeared and Gordon came back to the table. “Now to finish my dessert,” he said. “Avis thinks that all the world plays because she does. You knew her by sight, didn’t you?” “Everyone in Northwood knows her by sight.” Would they fall in love, Gordon and Avis? Would her father approve of her love for a man who had been married and divorced? Many questions raced through her mind, questions that would not be answered until the end of summer. This was more than a job. She had stepped into several lives which would undoubtedly become entangled. And young Rosalind who had sobbed into her pillow last night was probably one of them. Several days of uninterrupted work passed. At home the problem of Rosalind had taken a new turn. Mrs. Darby, ever wishing for peace in her household, rejoiced at the change in her younger daughter. For Rosalind was docile and obedient. But Constance knew. She found her sister curled up in a chair in their bedroom one night Sitting on the dressing table bench, Constance said, “You’ve been seeing Van Howard every day after school, Rosalind.” The dark eyes blazed. “You've been spying on me! I never thought you would! How did you know?” “The roadster had a flat tire the other day and I had to take a bus to the Hills. Grace Kelly and I sat together. She knows. All your friends know. I suppose you want them to know.” “Why not? He’d never taken any of them out in his car. They’re jealous ..” “Your friends know. Soon the Howards will know. Then Mother and Father. I know you’re tempted. But think how it will be when he gets tired of you and stops seeing you. And he will. You know his reputation with girls. He gives them a rush and then drops them. I’m only trying to help you.”

and knew that he would be hit. He threw hie daughter to the ! tree lawn. Where she landed unhurt. Kulaga was knocked to the ' pavement.

Rosalind's pretty mouth was distorted in a sneer. “I don’t want your help I I don’t want you spying on me!” Lowering her curly head, she drew in her lipa “I love Van and he loves me. He tells me every day he loves me.” Before Constance could apeak again, she hurried to the door, flung it open, and cried, “I won’t listen to you! I won’t listen to anybody I I'm old enough to know what I’m doing!” The next day in the study of the Spanish house, Gordon looked at Constance. Her hand paused on the shorthand pad. “This isn’t about the book,” he said. “It’s more timely. I happened to drop in at the Howards last night rather inopportunely, it happened. Nina, that’s Mrs. Howard, and Van were having quite a scene. Stephen is away on business. It seems, Constance, that you have a very pretty sister . . .* She felt a flame in her checks. “What—what were they saying about my sister?” “Perhaps you’d better know something about Van. He isn’t a bad sort but he’s been spoiled. The only child of rich parents. He wasn’t healthy as a child and he’s grown up with the idea that everyone should forgive him as easily as his mother has. Nina Howard is a fine woman. She’s heard that Van has been seeing quite a lot of your sister. . . . “And she disapproves,“Constance said frankly. “Yes. But if your sister is anything like you,” he said gently. “I think she’d be good for Van. His parents love him bat they’re disappointed in him.” Then he said, “We think because we’re older we know so much more. But you're not much older than your sister, are you?” “I’m twenty. She's eighteen. But I’ve been working for three years. That makes a difference.” He remembered what Nina Howard had said: “Aren’t you ashamed, Van, being seen with a girl from Vine Street? Who is she? Who are her parents? And all the girls here in the Hills, girls from lovely families we’ve always known. . . He smiled. “I dare say it’s nothing serious. Van’s in love with a new face every week. But he promised his mother he wouldn’t see Rosalind again. Will that be very hard on her?” “Very, I'm afraid.” Poor Rosalind. You could not make the grade, dear. It’s the line J told you you could not cross. A few days later her mother said to her, “Rosalind doesn't go anywhere anymore, Constance. It isn’t natural for a girl to stay to herself so much. Bill called and the Lester boy but she wouldn’t see them. I wish you'd talk to her. Sometimes I think she’s been crying.” And Constance thought, “Van has kept his promise to his mother and isn’t seeing her.” In the darkness of their room that night Constance said, “You’re not asleep, Rosalind.” Her voice was thick and choked. “He—he hasn’t been to our meeting place for days. I’ve been there every day. One day he drove by and didn’t—didn’t stop. He kept right on going. That—-that hurt! It made me feel cheap! I know what everybody says about him but I—l love him and—and it’s worse than you know! Oh, I don’t want to talk anymore about it!” But her concern for Rosalind grew. If she had flared, “Well, if that’s the way he feels, okay. There are plenty of other boys!” Constance would have dismissed it But Rosalind stayed to herself, took no interest in her new clothes for graduation, and refused to see the boys she knew. Her attitude was completely unlike her. * * * • Sitting opposite Constance be-1 neath the bright umbrella one day'

at noon Gordon asked, “Will you g?! over to the elub with me this afternoon for a swim? All work and no play, my dear, won’t give you a becoming tan.” They had finished luncheon and Gordon was smoking, tapping the ashes on the grass beside the slim white lawn chair. Constance's dress was as honey-colored as her hair. Many times she had found herself comparing Gordon to Terry. His laughter was as spontaneous as Terry’s but his glance was not as direct or as honest. She felt there was much about him no one knew despite his widely publicized career. What secrets Uy behind Gordon’s roving black eyes? In his book would he mention a marriage that had ended in divorce? With her he was charming and thoughtful and amusing. Suddenly her mind jerked back to the question she had not answered. He had asked her to go to the elub with him this afternoon for a swim. “Thank you, but I don’t have a bathing suit,” she said and smiled. “I don’t carry one with me.” “Is that why you hesitated? Well, we can fix that. Avis will be there and I’m sure she keeps several in her locker. You’re about the same size. Let’s go. We need it. the book needs it. Everything for the book, you know.” He leaned forward and set his eyes on her. “Is there any good reason why you won’t go with me, Constance? Is there a young man who might get the wrong impression?” Now he would know what he had wanted to know during the two weeks she had worked for him. Constance and young men or perhaps one young man. Often at night he had wondered where she was and severs.' times he had thought of calling her. But so far Avis had kept his evenings occupied. Avis. . . . Those green eyes would be greener still when Constance arrived at the club with him. Was he playing with fire? Oh, well, it was an amusing game but a game in which he would win. He had to win. Color crept up Constance’s cheeks. “The only young man who matters ir away at camp. Terry and I are going to be married in October.” He dropped his cigaret on the grass and did not pick it up. “You’re engaged to be married!” “It hasn’t been announced yet.” “Happy?” “Terribly and lucky, too.” “Terribly in love with him?” She nodded. She was glad he knew. “Does he know he's lucky?” Gordon asked. His brown hand covered hers. “You know, you’re new to me, Constance. I’ve never met anybody like you before. At last I’ve met a girl who has not plots and sehcn.es in her heart but only love for the boy she is going to marry.” And all at once he knew that he was falling a little in love with her “Let’s go. Don’t thank me for ths compliment.” He smiled. “And remember, Constance, that though I wear a black mustache, I’m no villain. Remember that.” A few minutes later her hair was blowing in the warm wind as they drove to the club. The summer was not going to be as he had planned. The book, rather than being his chief interest, would be only a side issue. He swore to himself, thinking that for the past ten years of his life girls had always intruded upon his work and because of them he was where he was today, heavily in debt, out o! a job, and ostracized by New York friends. How long would his pose as a rich man of leisure writing a book last? Only as long as no one from the Hills went to New York and heard the still-talked-of scandal.
