And I said to Carrie, all right! Who cared?
_I_ didn't.

That I never had liked that Mayhew girl, anyway.

But Carrie said that wasn't all.

She said Stella had got to be real popular before I came; that her folks had lots of money, and she always had candy and could treat to ice-cream and auto rides, and everybody with her was sure of a good time.

She had parties, too--lots of them; and of course, all the girls and boys liked that.
Well, when I came everything was all right till Stella's mother found out about the divorce, and then--well, then things were different.
First Stella contented herself with making fun of me, Carrie said.
