A Tale of Youth and
Summer Time and
the Baxter Family,
Especially William
fly
BOOTH TARKINGTON
Copyright, 191ft. 191C. by Metropolitan
Magaxlne.
William Baxter, aged seventeen, fall a at
Brat sight In calf love with young Miss
Frutt on a visit to friend* of his. Hl»
Uttle sistw, Jane, Is a fly In the ointment
William Is sent by his mother to help
Genesis, darky of all work, bring home
some washtubs the had purchased. They
are accompanied by Clematis, Genesis'
mongrel dog. Miss Pratt, escorted by her
friends, comes along with her dog, Floplt.
A dogfight ensues.
The dogs ar« separated. William van
ishes. disguised, under a boiler. That
evening he takes his father's dress suit
and calls upon Miss Pratt and her friend,
Miss Parcher.
Jane, a knowing youngster, explains
certain matters concerning William's love
affair to her mother. She also knows the
fact that WUllam has abstracted his fa
ther's dress suit
William's attentions to Miss Pratt and
those of rivals get on Mr. Parcher's nerves.
Jane tells Mr. 1'arcber In seftet that Wil
liam can't get hla father's dress suit any
longer because It Is being altered.
Mrs. Baxter tells William i*e has sent
Mr. Baxter's dress suit to the tailor for
alterations. He Is crestfallen and quarrels
with Jane.
SYNOPSIS
Mr*. Baxter gives a party for Miss
Pratt William, descending the stairs,
falls and tears his best suit. Ho had oat
on Jane's paint box with mother present
able Suit
His troubles detain him till the party to
•ver. to his great chagrin. Later he dis
misses matrimony with the aged parent of
Senests. Jane la present at the discus
sion.
William goes for a walk with Miss Pratt,
swinging his father's borrowed cane.
Jane, unheeded, advises an umbrella. It
rains, and William geta wet.
Jane, from her observations, tells her
parents that she thinks William Is mar
ried. The parents, at first alarmed, dis
miss the subject. William goes picnick
ing. and a new rival turns up.
The rival monopolizes Miss Pratt He
brags about his love for smoking, and
William glvea him some cigarettes.
The rival is made 111 and retires from
the Held. Genesis tells Jane of how he la
going to be a waiter on occasions and
where he Is going to buy a secondhand
dress suit Wllllaiji overhears.
"FfctGer, fgftt to have one. I got
to have one right away!" The urgency
in William's voice was almost tearful.
"I don't ask you to have It made or
to go to expensive tailors, but there's
plenty of good ready made ones that
only cost about $40. They're adver
tised In the paper. Father, wouldn't
you spend Just >40? I'll pay It back
when I'm In business. I'll work"—
Mr. Baxter waved all this aside.
"It's not the mouey. It's the principle
I'm standing for, aud I don't intend"—
"Father, tcon't you do It?"
"So, I will not!"
William saw that seutence had been
passed and all appeals for a new trial
denied. He choked and rushed Into
the house without more ado.
"Foor boy!" his mother said.
•'Foor boy nothing!" fumed Mr. Bax
ter. "He's about lost his mind over
"Fath#r, I got to havo onal*
that Miss Fratt I guess be can wear
the kind of clothes most of the other
boys wear, the kind I wore at parties.
What's the world getting to be like?
Seventeen years old and throws a fit
because he can't have a dress suit!"
Mrs. Baiter looked thoughtful.
"Of course." she suggested with some
timidity, "$40 isn't a great deal of
money, and a ready made suit, Just to
begin with"—
Naturally, Mr. Baxter perceived
whither she was drifting. "Forty dol
lars isn't a thousand," he Interrupted,
"but what you want to throw It away
for? One reason a boy of seventeen
oughtn't to have evening clothes Is the
way he behaves with any clothes. For
ty dollars! Why, only this summer
he sat down on Jane's open paint box
twice in one week!"
"Well, Miss Pratt Is going away, and
the dance will be her last night I'm
afraid It would really hurt him to miss
It I remember once, before we were
engaged—that evening before papa took
me. abroad, and jou."—.
"It's no use,' Ihamfna," he said. "We
were both in the twenties—why, I was
six years older than Willie even then!
There's no comparison at all. I'll let
him order a dress suit on his twenty
first birthday and not a minute before.
I don't believe In It, and I Intend to
see that he gets all this stuff out of his
system. He's got to learn some hard
sense!"
Mrs. Baxter shook her head doubt
fully, but she said no more. Perhaps
she regretted a little that she had
caused Mr. Baxter's evening clothes to
be so expansively enlarged, for she
looked rather regretful. She also look
ed rather Incomprehensible, not to say
cryptic, during the long silence which
followed, and Mr. Baxter resumed his
rocking, unaware of the fixity of gaze
which his wife maintained upon blm,
a thing the most loyal will do some
times.
The incomprehensible look disap
peared before long, but the regretful
one was renewed In the mother's eyes
whenever she caught glimpses of her
son that day and at the table, where
William's manner was gentle, even to
ward his heartless father.
Underneath that gentleness the har
ried self of William was no longer de
bating a desperate resolve, but had
fixed upon It, and on the following aft
ernoon Jane chauced to be a witness
of some resultant actions. She came
to her mother with an account of them.
"Mamma, what you s'pose Willie
wants of those two ole market baskets
that were down cellar?"'
"Why, Jane?"
"Well, he carried 'em in his room,
an' then he saw me lookin', in' he
said, 'G'wa.v from here!' an' shut the
door. He locks so funny! What's he
want of those ole baskets, mamma?"
"I don't know. I'erhaps he doesn't
even know himself, Jane."
But William did know definitely. He
had set the baskets upon chairs, and
now, with pale determination, he was
proceeding to fill them. When his task
was completed the two baskets con
tained:
One heavyweight winter suit of
clothes, one lightweight summer salt
of clothes, one cap. one straw hat, two
pairs of white flannel trousers, two
madras shirts, two flunnel shirts, two
silk shirts, seven soft collars, three silk
neckties, one crocheted tie, eight pairs
of socks, one pair of patent leather
shoes, one pair of tennis shoes, one
overcoat, some underwear.
One two foot shelf of books, consist
ing of several sterling works upon
mathematics. In a damaged condition;
tive of Shakespeare's plays, expurgat
ed for schools and colleges and also
damaged; a work upoa political econ
omy and another »upon the science of
physics; Webster's Collegiate Diction
ary; "How to Enter a Drawing Room
and Five Hundred Other Hints;" "Wit
ty Sayings From Here and There;"
"Lorua Doone;" "Quentin Durward;"
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,"
a very old copy of "Moths," and a
small Bible.
Willlnm spread handkerchiefs upon
the two overbuying cargoes, that their
nature might not be disclosed to the
curious, and. after listening a moment
at Ills door, took the baskets, one upon
each arm, then went quickly down the
stairs and out of the house, out of the
yard and into the alley.
After an absence of about two hours
he returned empty handed and anx
ious. "Mother, I want to speak to
you," he said, addressing Mrs. Baxter
in a voice which clearly proved the
strain of these racking days. "Please
send Jane away. I can't talk about
Important things with a child In the
room."
Jane naturally wished to stay, since
he wus going to say something Impor
tant "Mamuia, do I haf to go?"
"Just a few minutes, dear."
Jane walked submissively out of the
door, leaving It open behind her. Then, '
having gon^about six feet farther, she
halted and, preserving a breathless si
lence, consoled herself for her banish
ment by listening to what was said,
hearing it ail as satisfactorily as If
she had remained lu the room.
"Mother," said William, with great
intensity, "1 want to ask you please to
lend me $3.G0."
"What for?"
"Mother, I don't feel I can discuss It
any. I simply ask you. Will you lend
me $3.(50?"
Mrs. Baxter laughed gently. "I don't
think I could. Willie, but certainly I
should want to know what for."
"Mother, I am going on eighteen
years of age. and when I ask for a
small sum of money like $3.00 I think
I might be trusted to know how to
use it for my own good without having
to answer questions like a ch"—
"Why, Willie," she exclaimed, "you
ought to have plenty of money of your
own! You ought to have plenty left
out of that old Junk and furniture I
let you sell last month. You had
over $91"
'That was five weeks ago," William
explained wearily.
"But .vou certainly must have some
of It left. Why, It was more than $9,
I believe! I think It was nearer ten.
Surely you haven't"—
"l'e gods!" cried the goaded William.
"A person going on eighteen years old
ought to be able to spend $9 in five
weeks without everybody's acting like
it was a crime! Mother, I ask you the
simple question, Will you please lend
me $3.60?"
She shook her head gently. "You
see, dear, I'm afraid the reason you
don't tell me is because you know that
I wouldn't give it to you if I knew
what you wanted It for."
William left in such a preoccupation
that he passed the surprised Jane In
the hall without suspecting what she
had been doing.
That evening after dinner he ad
dressed to bis father an Impassioned
appeal for $3.60, laying such stress of
pathos on his principal argument that
If he. couldn't have_a jjcsa^jul.t at

Mr. Baxter was moved In the direction
of consont, but not far enough. "I'd
like to let you have It, Willie," he said,
excusing hlnnelf for refusal, "but your
mother felt she oughtn't to do It unless
you'd say what you wanted It for, and
I'm sure shs. wouldn't like me to do It"
