A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM
Chapter 3. THE HAINES FAMILY. Self-revelation begins witli a looking glass! Most women spend a lot of time before a glass a statement that will please most cynical minded men. Few of us spend enough time or, rather, spend the timo before the glass to the best advantage. No man will agree with me in that, I know, but nevertheless, it is true. As Is usual with most fairly busy women, I looked in the glass about twice a day once in the morning when I combed my hair, and pinned on the collar to my housedress; once at night when I took out the hairpins before going to bed. But I never saw myself in the mirror while performing these mechanical motions that Is, I 'looked at my reflection, tucked in some of the wisps of hair that the hair pins did not catch, and fixed the collar straight but I never actually saw myself. Not until the day when all this great change began to take place. That day. carrying the mended curtains over my arm, I stopped off in my room and deliberately walked over to the mirror. I looked actually looked long and critically and impersonally at myself. This is what 1 saw A sparse woman with somewhat bent shoulders, straight hair so colorless, and so without life or lustre that it might be gray or a muddy brown it had no real color. Fine lines ran over the forehead, and around the eyes. The mouth sagged; there were coarse pores visible on the nose. Two deep lines were graven around the mouth; the lips were colorless and drooped at the corners with a sugfi'stion of eternal disappointment. There were lines on the neck, too, especially where the tight collars I always wore on my black 6erge, pressed against the skin. Whatever figure I might possess. vas so lost under the ill-fitting, cheap housedress. that no definite lines weru visible. Altogether, the woman who presented herself to me in the glass night have been 40 might have been t5. She was so colorless that not fvon her age was definite. And this was I. two days past my thirty-fifth birthday! As I turned, another image came
into the glass, Violet, entering the room, saw me and laughed. Then slipping up behind me, she put hei chin on my shoulder svnd looked in the glass with me. Her youth and vitality only made me seem older. "Vou've nice eyes. Aunt Enid," she said. "They look so young." I had not noticed my eyes in my scrutiny. I looked again yes, my eye were young. They were the only remnant of my youth left eyes of a golden brown. But whatever pleasure I felt at discovering ray one good point, was lost in dejection over the bad ones. Violet, guessing this, laid down her books and helped me with the curtains. "It's nice to be young, Vi," I said to her. She paused in her work she was standing on a chair slipipng th; fresh curtains over their brass rods. "It's not nice to be too young," she said. "Why? It's a fault soon enough overcome," and I sighed as I said it. "Well, it would be nice to be a year or so older," Violet urged. ".Mother says I'm too young to go out alone with Bud, and that she doesn't want me to get any notions in my head about him, or any one else." "And you shouldn't." I always tried to back up Esther's words. "I don't care about the others, only about Bud." said Violet, having carefully arranged the clean curtains, jumped lightly from the chair. "I'll never like any one but Bud. You may tmil? if you want, and say I'm too young to know but I'm not. Besides," illegically. "I'm not ycung I'm nearly 18. and I'm to graduate this Juno," This suggested another subject ai once. Violet hopped from topic to topic, like a conversational bird. I want you to do lots and lots of
drawn work on my dress." she said eagerly. "You will, won't you? That's a dear! You're the best aunt!" Her quick moving little hands were tucking In stray locks Htf hair as she coaxed me. "Mother will le,t you have the white voile she bought last year and never made up, and a lovely white ribbon sash. And you're to do the drawn work on it, in squares I'll show you how I want it." We gathered up the curtains and went on with our work while she discussed her dres3 and young Bud Pearsoil alternately. In no time at all, Esther's voice came up to us. "Supper's ready." So we went down together, to the table set at one side of the big farmhouse kitchen. Jim was there, already eating, and James, waiting for us. Esther was dishing things from the stove. Laura, the oldest girl, was not home. As we sat down, I began to observe my family having begun to observe myself. We all looked as though we had let go of life, we older ones and we had. For life had once held out its hand to us, as it does to every one at some time or other but we had not had immagination enough to take her gifts. Was it too late? This I was to find out.

NO. 23 MORNING INSPECTION. In the daily life of every child there are certain things so important from the standpoint of health that every mother should assure herself of their observance by diligent, observation and inquiry. The best time for this inspec
tion is in the morning before the child !
starts for school. Make the hour early enough to allow the child time to attend to any point which he has forgotten or neglected. Children are very apt to forget things which are not habitual and this inspection should be continued until correct health habits are an integral
part of the child's daily life. Notice first the cleanliness of the skin, as every mother will because of its bearing on her pride in her child's appearance and self respect. But apart from the question of ordinary decency, cleanliness of the skin has its bearing on the question of health. If the skin is kept clean and in a tonic condition by frequent bathing, it will relieve the kidneys of much work that would otherwise fall upon them. After satisfying yourself that the child's bathing has been properly attended to, learn if he has eaten any breakfast, and what investigations made in several large cities revealed a startling number of children who go to school without any breakfast or a ery unsatisfactory one. No wonder that malnutrition is so prevalent. It is well known fact that many children have little appetite for breakfast, tut when the demands that mental and physical growth make upon a child in school are realized every effort will be made to induce the child to take some food before leaving home in the morning. Though the establishment of school lunches should be a part of every system of school hygiene, this fact des not relieve the home of its responsibility. Has the child's teeth been careful brushed after breakfast? Since the relation of defective teeth to disease hab been recognized, widespread attention has been paid to the care of children's teeth. When particles of food are left around the teeth, the ever-present bacteria bring about fermentation and putrefaction, acids are set free which attack the enamel and decay begins. Hence, the importance of cleaning the teeth is plainly seen, and an alkaline mouth wash such as milk of magnesia, lime water, or salt and water, should be used. Children should be. taught to thoroughly masticate their food. Has the child been to the toilet? Constipation is one of the most troublesome and common complaints of both children and adults, and nothing is more conducive to this condition than neglect of regular evacuation of
the bowels. Training in the habit of regular bowel movements should be begun in infancy, and as the child grows older he should never be allowed to neglect this hygienic duty. He will frequently be in such a hurry to run out to play or to be off to school that he will be careless in the matter if he is not carefully supervised. Notice his posture, remembering the important relation this bears to his general health and self respect. Does he stand erect with a free, easy carriage ? Is his head well-poised, and his shoulders straight and lying close to the ribs behind? Does he walk toward you with a firm, erect attitude, or does he slouch along with a stooping body and drooping head? If these things are not as they should be, an

TO THE READERS OF THE ENGAGED GIRL'S DIARY . We finally have heard once more from Lindsey or Phyllis Phillips, who has traced the career of Lindsey in "The Diary of an Engaged Girl." Miss Phillips had been sending us the story from abroad. On her arrival in New York a few days ago she was shocked to learn that instalments of the story, mailed weeks ago, had not reached us. She has rushed us duplicate copies of these chapters now so you can follow the care-free, liberty-loving Lindsey once more to the final paragraph. You probably recall that the last you read about Lindsey she and Cecil had looked on while Jeffry and Cecile were married in the quaint church at Montmorency and then the party had started for sunny Italy. The story will be resumed Thursday. The Editor.

Any good book store will have a good assortment and will be glad to recommend to you the ono that will best fit your needs. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am very anxious over a problem and thought I would write to you. My husband is a Civil war veteran, and was injured during that war by being run over by a truck. He is a great care, but as I cannot afford help, I am trying to care for him myself. Now I am told that I will not be able to draw a pension after he passes away. Is this true?
I broke down my health when I
was young and I married my husband for a home and the hope of drawing a pension after his death to take care of myself. Will you tell me whether I will be able to draw a pension or
not?
THANK YOU.
As you do not state the year of your marriage I cannot tell you definitely whether or not you can get a soldier's widow's pension; but a law passed re
cently will prevent pensions being granted to widows of Civil war veterans If their marriago occurred after 1905. i
