SUCCESS STORY
By Marjorie Abbott
“This dress!” exclaimed Nancy,
as she held out the skirt of her
blue dress uncertainly. “Oh,
mother, does it look very bad?”
Harriet Barnstable frowned a
little as she looked at her daugh
ter’s unhappy face. “No, dear,’
she said quietly. “The only rea
son you are so conscious of it is
because it’s not new.’
“Anita has a georgeous new
jade green formal for tonight,”
she said casually. Too casually
“Won’t it be something with her
red hair?”
Harriet felt the stab of her
genteel poverty most keenly
when it affected her daughter.
She felt it now.
“Oh, Mom,” said Nancy, turn
ing suddenly to face her mother
with tear-filled eyes. “Why is life
the way it is? Why does Anita
have everything looks, money,
confidence, brains—She can even
| have the pick of any of the boys
I at school —”
She bit her lip and then smiled
at her mother. “Don’t look like
that, Mom,” she said. “There’s
lone thing Anita doesn’t have,
and that’s you. You’re sweet and
—and beautiful, too!”
Nancy flung on her shabby
tweed coat.
“The speaker tonight is from
your home town. She went to
I Crosby high school,” said Nancy.
“Linda Cormwell. Do you know
her?”
“Linda Cormwell?” Harriet said
thoughtfully, as she closed the
front door behind them. “No. I
don’t believe I can recall the
name.”
“It’s probably her married
name,” said Nancy. “She’s old
now. Has three grown children,
and then went into an advertis
ing business of her own and
made a big success of it. Anita’s
going to introduce her to the
I audience.”
Anita, Anita, Anita. Harriet
heard the name constantly from
Nancy Anita was on the winning
debating team, Anita was so
’glamorous. Everybody was crazy
j about Anita, and she had the
teachers eating right out of her
hand. Anita’s dad was going to
buy her a car for graduation. If
I only, thought Harriet bitterly,
I Anita Hanso weren’t undermin
| ing Nancy’s confidence in herself
Nancy compares everything she
has with Anita, and she always
I loses out in the comparison.
Harriet realized that their life
wasn’t all that it might be. But
Nancy had always seemed happy
I in spite of made-over clothes and
I lack of money and a father who
was sick a great deal. However,
during the 'last year, Harriet had
watched Nancy become less and
less sure of herself. She was
growing shy and almost awk
ward. This was difficult for Ha'r
rie,t to understand. She herself
had been very self confident as
a girl.
“Do you think I’ll be O. K. as
a waitress tonight?” asked
Nancy.
“I’m sure you will, dear,” said
Harriet.
The lights were on in the
.chool building. A group of young
people were standing at the door
as they went in. Anita’s lovely
flaming hair was in the center
of the group. Several boys stood
around admiring her. Other girls
were trying ineffectually to get
the boys’ attention. Mrs. Barn
stable looked at Anita. She was
lovely. Her hair fell around her
white shoulders in deep, natural
waves. She had delicate, perfect
features, and a poise that was far
beyond her years.
Harriet found a seat at one
of the long tables facing the
speakers’ table.
A faint, indistinct memory
stirred in Harriet’s mind as she
looked at Linda Cormwell. She
■was a striking slender woman,
j dressed in a gold suit. Her sea
: | tures were indeterminate, but her
smile was one that would not
| be forgotton. It was sincere and
1 utterly charming.
Harriet noticed with satisfac
tion that Nancy had drawn the
1 speakers’ table to serve, but she
, also saw her daughter looking
nervous and harassed as she
! came in with the tray of fruit
, cocktails.
Linda Cormwell was talking
earnestly to the principal and to
■ Anita, and occasionally Harriet
- heard her voice. It was low and
clear and earnest. As charming
as her smile Linda Cromwell.
Linda Cromwell. She wished she
could remember.
Nancy was passing the plates
of rolls at the speakers’ table. As
Nancy stood behind Anita’s chair
Harriet saw the red-haired girl
turn quickly. The tray teetered
in Nancy’s hand, and several of
the hot rolls slid off the tray into
Linda Cromwell’s lap. Harriet
saw her daughter’s face flush
deep scarlet, and she saw her
lips move in an agonized apology.
Anita was looking at her mock
ingly.
Linda picked up the rolls from
her lap, and smiled at Nancy
with her sweet, sincere smile,
“Please don’t feel badly,” she
said. Harriet strained to hear
every word. “Once when I was
about your age I spilled coffee at
| a banquet, and the person it
happened to was a very crusty
old bachelor. I’ll never forget how
awful it was.” She went on, “You
are very much as I used to be
when I was a girl, my dear.
Please don’t worry about the
accident. Those things happen to
all of us.”
Harriet rememnered now who
she was.
Nancy and her mother walked
home arm-in-arm. Nancy’s voice
was warm and vibrant when she
spoke..
“Mother, wasn’t she wonder
ful?”
“Anita?” asked Harriet brus
guely.
“Linda Cromwell! Can you re
member her now, Mother? Was
she really like me?’
“Yes, I do remember her. It
came back to me when she was
telling you about spilling that
coffee. Yes, she was quite a bit
like you, dear.”
“Do you think I’ll turn out like
that when I’m old?”
Harriet smiled in the dark.
“It’s possible, darling.’
Harriet decided not to tell her
daughter the reason she hadn’t
I been able to recall Linda was
because she had been colorless
and shy as a girl. And Harriet
wouldn’t have noticed her much
anyway. Because Harriet had
been the Anita Hanson of Crosby
high school.
