She feels sure that she is to be Dimity West, the heroine of i'Stars in Her Hairn. -loanna, her loyal girl friend, is helping her in every way she knows how. ln the meantime, Norman Porter has come to the Pringle home and he tells Sally that he is sure Mr. Day will pick her to play the part of Dimity West. All this Penny does not know. Kerry doesn't want Hollywood to take his Penny so with the help of Greg and Gram they try to discourage Penny. Kerry imper- sonates Mr. Day and comes to see Penny. He tells her she is the type but she must be completely remodeled. Kerry has Monsieur Henri bring models to show Penny clothes suitable for Hollywood and one of the models is Greg dressed up. Mr. Day says he feels sure this model is the one he has been look- ing for. Mark wants to buy a farm, but he hasn't sufficient funds.

Mavis is willing to help Mark, but she hasn't enough money. Mavis works at the broad- casting station and is of a very different char- acter than Penny. Mark talks with Sally about the farm. Later Kerry and Greg, dressed as a model, come to the Pringle home and in the mean- time father has brought the real Mr. Day home with him. Penny finds out Kerry was a fake and Joanna thinks Greg is back of it so the girls don't have much use for the boys for awhile. Finally, Gram talks mother into taking time for family affairs and mother and father give Mark money for his farm. Penny decides she doesn't want to go to Hollywood but she decides to stay at home to enter the doubles with Kerry.
