Sweethearts Library #51

In "The Price of Pride," wealthy Kathy and her boyfriend Tad visit a soda shop to experience life on the other side of the tracks, only to find their assumptions challenged when Kathy is drawn to Larry, a quiet young man who dances with her. After Lisa, the meek girl Tad encouraged Kathy to dance with, faints and needs help, Kathy steps in—offering money and staying by her side until the crisis passes. When Larry later comes to thank her, he confesses his feelings, revealing he and Lisa are only friends, and Kathy finds herself torn between her privileged world and a love that feels entirely real.
