/'SELF MADE GIRL" : livingston]

SYNOPSIS Linda Perry, youngest of the five paverty-stricken Perrys, lives with her family in a small frame house in the country near Philadelphia. Because she is the youngest and prettiest, Linda is spoiled by relatives. Ignorant of social distinctions and the heartaches they will cause later, Linda is completely happy in school with her three best friends—Constance, old Senator Scott's granddaughter; Ruth Wagner, daughter of tile local doctor; and Thelma, whose father is the chauffeur for another wealthy family in the neighborhood. The first blow falls when socially climbing Mrs. Wagner objects to Thelma's association with the other children. Soon after that, Constance Scott ■a sent away to a private school. Ruth Wagner forms a friendship with another girl and Linda—after having been a leader in school affairs for so long—suddenly finds herself in the background. CHAPTER 111 She went to school on the bus now. She wur just one of the mob. She »u only 1* and her heart war broken, her faith in the world destroyed. That next year waa a blank to Linda. Things happened—but not to her. There was something about La wrie and a girl and Bert and he wrangled bitterly over it, night after night. Claudine's stepson, Junior, got pneumonia and almost died. Claudine nursed him through it and then she was ill and had a little, premature baby, a poor wizened up little thing with a face like a tired old man. and presently it died and everyone worried about Claudine. Linda was sorry for Claudine, too, but it al! seemed very remote' and unreal. Imagine marrying 1 Chester Barton and living in a 1 eheap flat, with that little rowdy of a Junior jumping al) over the ' furniture and having a lot of cry-1 mg babies and diapers and coverall drying ail over the place? How could Claudine expect any luck when she was such a fool? Linda herself would have no sueh : life. She was full of plans that year. Deep in something or other all the time. Nobody understood i her and everyone picked on her just ' because she did a lot of thinking and planning and didn't k*-ep her ( mind on certain silly school sub-1 jects nnd couldn't get excited over stupid gossip and thing- the family < about. 's been so long since I went 1 thiough this moomng-calf stage | with the others. I declare I can’t believe they were ever that bad,”, her mother compla ned. “Claudine was always a sensible little thing, I and Blanche had such high marks' in school!" Linda listened, sullenly. She thought, you'll tie sorry seme day! You’ll all be sorry! Her father’s baby mg her and Grandma Pnlogne's <verlas'mg cheerfulness, in a world in which nothing went right, irritated her almost as much as her mother's complaints. Oh. if I could just skip all this! - and be grown up and independent. ’ she thought bitterly. Her very bones ached 'ith rebellion and | waiting. Her pillow was often wet at night. Nooody knew how she suffered, how haid it was for her at school, with the girls that had) nearly broken their necks to be nice ; to her when <'on*tar-.c was there.' ignoring her now. It waa a hard year for Linda and the family who had to live with her Then summer came. Summer and ' vacation and stieky, oppressing heat. It was the hottest summer anyone remembered. The boys complained irritably. Mrs. Perry lay on her sofa in the darkened room, and even Grandma Po >gne's song ceasd. I

But Linda came to lite, ,1 Constance was home. The same Constance, harem . . scaram. devil-may-care as ever, not . I changwl a bit. j I “Come on over!" she telephoned. . the first morning. . j Linda almost ran. j ; She stayed for lunch and after a , momentary panic at sight of the t lace cloth and the silver and a new r I and impressive butler she felt al-1 . most as much at home aa she used 1 ; to in Connie's house. “We mi seed you,” Mrs. Scott said. “Why didn't you ever come over to t cheer us up while Constance was in [ school?” > She laughed aa rhe said it, but .. she locked as if rhe meant it, and t Linda thought, why didn't I? And ,

I I HM| A m f y iwl “Come on over I” she telephoned the first morning.

already the bleak, unhappy year , I I tired rem**t», unrual. They swam in th* swimming pool and lay in the grass tn tbe shade - and talked. They tore into town , in Constance's yellow roadster, tooting the horn, making staid pedi-s-I trtsna jump. They drove out to the country club in the afternoons and rat on the veranda and had lemonade that Constance signed for. Ruth Wagner joined them, gunh- ’ ing with Constance, • little sheepish ! with Lind*. Linda wanted to Kyat her, she wanted to scream, “After , the way you’ve treated me all year, 1 do you think you can get sway with I this?” But something reitrained her, something, she didn't know what, held her baek. Whenever Ruth came. Mrs. Kentt drawled. “So nice to tse you sll toj get her again. Why don't you go ■ and get little Thelma and make it’ ’eomplcte?” They all knew that Thelma was changed, that she wasn't even happy with them aaymoro, but it \ was a grand way to get even with . Butt and th* Wagner*. f Linda admtred Mrs. Scott pa» siunatcly. Everything about her. | ' Even the thing* that she knew weren't considered nice.. Suppose, •he did do the things that people ' sard she did—drink too many cocktail*, flirt with other wi men's hus(band*. la*igh and listen to queUGunable »toriea, live * useiesK, pampered life? She had a good time, didn't she? She was always lovely and poised and kind, wasn't she? Well, what mon- could anyone ask? I Sometimes she was gone for days

| at a time, visiting, and came hark with presents for both Constance and Linda Trifles, usually g»y M-arves. sport socks, new bathing ! suits or run suits. And onee rhe brought two summer dune* frocks, dotted dimities, one with rod dot*, one with blue. “Take them away an<l fight over them, though I did think of the ! red for Connie and the blue for Linda's eyes. 1 braved New York in al) the h*at to get them for you and I think it was very sweet of me—all because your father wants to show you off at the country club dance." Linda's heart turned over. She looked at the dress, the sort of drear she'd dreamed of and in the last . year given up the hope of ever

seem ***** *v • *• • • s^. i wearing, because there was no place Ito wear it to. She wax terribly close to tears. Practically, Constance said i “What will we do for men?” Linda looked up. In her excitement over the dress and a place th wear it, shed forgotten that *h*4 j would have to have boy* to danor . with. Mr*. Scott laughed. “Your poor (father, darling. Asking for men! Itll break his heart! He thinks you will be fierfectly content to go and - ■lance with him, and your grandfather. and such. Don't tell him otherwise, for heaven's sake, or he'll-” Constance laughed, too. She and hvr mother never fooled each other, it wasn’t the way Linda and her mother were. Linda caught her , breath and Constance said. "Mom*. You've got it all planned out!” “The McAllister boys." Mr*.Seott said. "Harrison McAllister’s sons, ’ here for the summer. You must have Been them at the dub or somewhere. Tall, dark kids, wry sun--1 burnt. They drive around in an old cut-down car—” Constance looked at Linda. Linda I looked at Constance. | “Then you have seen them!" “My g«*odnrss, how could we miss them? The only two new men .around these parts in 10 yoarsl” "Will they <to?" 1 Again Cvastam-e looked at Linda and Linda ksiked at Constance. . ConMance took * long treath. “They will do,” rhe said.
