CHAPTER EIGHT

SHE white world of the winter carnival had turned into a

fresh new one with a gauzy scarf of tender green covering the hillside. #4 Corey Porter, home for spring vacation, lost po time in heading his long low sports roadster toward

the suburb, near Boston, where Sally

Blair lived. Corey was a very im- - . : : portant young man these days. In Some time, Herschel, I think I'll write me memoirs an’ retire.”

‘a few months he would graduate, mr head man of his class. He would| FLAPPER FANNY By Sylvia

be taken into his father’s firm, start ‘a new life. But Corey’s handsome young face did not wear the important, satisfied look it should have. His nice mouth was a bit grim; his blue eyes wore a perplexed expression. He was going to have a showdown with Sally, or else. Never, in all his experience—and he had had a few, as he prided himself—had any girl treated him as had Sally. Not one word from her since the houseparty, unless you wanted to count the stiff little bread-and-butter note required from formal courtesy. Never in his lifeghad Corey been given the ‘“go~by” by any mem«ber of the opposite sex. :
