THE STORY
\/f ANY years had passed since Mary Young had married Sam Young, but she still hadn't forgotten the raptures and pains of first love. Surely that was why she was so tender and sympathetic when Peggy, her daughter, fell in love with Carter Trent. Carter was the son of a wealthy Chicago family, and Peggy
met him at a U.S.O. dance without at first knowing anything about his background. As Mrs. Young foresaw when she learned about the romance, Carter's parents bitterly opposed their only son's love for such an "ineligible" girl — but she couldn't foresee that they'd express their opposition so bluntly as to send a lawyer to buy Peggy off.
