SISTER ACT

By MAUREEN DALY

AFTER BEING away at school for four years, it was natural that she shouldn't know many fellows in town. She had gone to summer school between times and had really lost touch with the crowd back home. Most of the fellows she had ¢ known in' high school were either working out of town or were married by now. So when she came back home for tne new job at the beginning of the summer it was only natural that I should get dates for my sister Kay. And I was glad John had been s0 nice to her. I explained to him that she was a good dancer and a lot of fun and that I was sure his friends would like her. And they did, too. For a while Chuck Williams, who works in the bank, took her out and they always doubled with John and me. The first night we went

to a country club dance. Kay hadn’t had all her clothes sent

“~ home yet so I let her wear a new

formal of mine. . : I had meant to wear it myself but it looked so nice on her and John had always said that he liked me best in the white net I got two summers ago anyway, so I let her wear it. 2 ” 2

TWICE FRIENDS that John had known at the university came to visit him for week-ends and he always asked Kay to go out with them. It was fun sitting listening to them talk about fraternity dances

grand football games and other things

“ @bout college. ‘#O0ne of the boys came down the next week-end just to see her again and the four of us went on a wiener roast and sat around the fire singing songs and toasting marshmallows till very late. I remember noticing how handsome John looked in the firelight and being a little amazed at how wonderful it was to hear his laugh—he laughed a lot . that night. When we got home Kay told me how much fun she thought he was—one of the nicest boys she had ever known—and it left me with a warm glow inside. XI was glad Kay likec. John because, you see, I liked him, too. Kay was always so nice about everything. She never minded my going out with John if she didn’t have a date. She would just get dressed up as nicely as if she were going out too and not sit around moping or anything. Usually she would be sitting reading when John came to pick me up and most of the time he would ask her if she ‘didn’t want to come along. Of course, she would say she hated to intrude but it wasn’t intruding certainly—my own sister—and besides we always had so much fun when we went out together, the three of us. : \ 2 8 =» BY THE MIDDLE of the summer, when the other fellows had begun to realize that Kay was in town, I got used to answering the phone and having soieonp says “Let me talk to your sister y.” The only "time the phone ever rang for me

ks. Was when John called, as he always

right after work every night. - y vacation came the last two Weeks in August. Originally John “had meant to take his then, too, and . we were going to spend it with an

aunt of mine who has a cottage up

near Eagle River, but at the last minute things at the office got rushed and John had to postpone his so I went up myself. - John wrote every day—there really wasn’t much to write about except his work and that he had seen Kay here or there. oa I wrote to him. every day and on several occasions I. wrote. twice a day but n else to do while . ting by Ah2 lake watching the water. Kay dashed me oft a eouple short notes saying that there wasn much happening now that I wasn't home and Nentioning vaguely the fun she had had the night before with the “fellows.” I wrote to tell her to be y to

sure to call John if she wanted go anywhere—that I he would be glad te: take her out even if I

that he had had to work through his lunch hour and would’ probably call me af home. ? It was just after 5, the usual time, when he called. ‘Kay hadn't come home yet so I answered it.

We talked about little things— did he get my last letter, the one 1 had written the night before when the moon was on the lake and had I gotten a.very dark tan.
