The surprise turns out to be a clud in the person of a cousin whom the hammond youngsters have never seen. And what a let-downl Clementine is about sixteen, and looks like a glamour girl of the I900'S. She comes direct from a private school in the East where all they ever taught her was the art of study. And what good student she turned out to bel Here's the story: Nancy had a beau, Jimmy, and she treated him as impersonally as though he were a stick of wood. She was that sure of him. Soon after Clementine came, Jimmy began dressing up and acting the part of a studious young man. That's what cousin Clementine did to Nancy. Pete has a penchant for being interested in anything new. Just now he's experimenting with botany and his en- thusiasm for the subject is at fever heat. Another thing he's fond of is draping himself over an easy chair and visiting via telephone with Sylvia. Peter soon finds out that women just won't be placed second, even to an experiment in botany and here, too, Clementine has her finger in the pie. Comes the night of the high school dance and Clementine blos- soms forth as did the Cinderella of old. Jimmy by now wants only to resume his role of old faithful' to Nancy, but there are obstacles. Mother Hammond lends her expert hand to the straightening out of their tangled plot threads and once again peace and quiet cast their comfort over the Hammond household.
