A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY Tha Story of a Woman Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

PLANS i CHAPTER 11 I fancied there was a slight change In Laura's manner after the day her mother told that I had once had a "beau" the word is Laura's. Before this she had always considered me as a nonentity, someone who did odd jobs about the house, someone her father supported and this because I paid no board at my brother's, though I did as much work as a hired girl, who would have been boarded free and given a salary as well. A dependent relative, or a dependent wife, often has all the disadvantages. For she gets no salary, and is expected to be grateful for her job as well. My case of course was a little different. 1 had some money only a hundred or so a year as ray share of

the rent of the little house where I had been born. This 1 spent on the three children, usually for Christmas and birthday presents. Esther bought my clothes when she bought her own. Then I had the little inheritance that was to go part way towards sending Violet to college. Violet had never treated me as a nonentity, and James had been kindly and tolerant. Few boys his age consider old maid aunts as useful creatures, but James was always very nice to me. Laura alone openly looked down upon me. "I'll bake the cake. I do it better than you," she would say, when we were planning a Saturday's work. Or, "I'll scrub the porch, I can do It faster.' And so on, with many items of work. My ability to do beautiful darning was the only thing where I excelled her. Consequently, I had all the family mending and there was always plenty of It. The May days' ran along. Violet had to be excused from all work at home; her time was taken preparing for the final examinations at school to be followed at once by entrance examinations for college. We had not yet decided which college she was to go to. And when the discussion came up, Laura's hostile feeling towards me grew rather marked, though for a while after Esther's talk of the man who once was in love with me, Laura had shown me more respect. "As long as I can do this at all, I want to do it right," Vi said one evening, school books and catalogues piled before her on the kitchen table. Esther and I were washing the dishes. Laura had gone outside to the spring-house to look after the milk and butter. "So I'm going to a college in New York," Vi continued, picking up one of the catalogues. "Now I won't have you living alone in a city, and you barely 18 next fall," Esther was argumentive at once. Violet's blue eyes grew a black-blue, a curious trick I had noticed she had when she was very angry or very determined. "Thousands of girls go every , year and don't get killed," she began sarcastically. "And I'm as old as any of them and have much more sense than most girls 18." "Just the same, you don't go to the city alone. You pick out a college in a small town or village some place, and then I'll feel safe." Violet's eyes flashed. "Spend all my life in a little hole like Henly Falls, and then when 1 do have a chance to get out of it. fpend a few years in a place not much bigger!" she retorted. "Then what? Come back to Henly Falls and spend the rest of my days here!" "There's lots worse places than Henly Falls." Esther's anger was coming

up too, and I began to fear that all the plans would fall through. Strange to say, H was Jim who settled the question peaceably. He came into the kitchen, filling bis pipe as he walked I remember how bent over he

was; he had been working hard that

day. . "Seems to me," he began, reaching towards the match box on the wall, "seems to me since It's Enid's money

that's doin this, it's Enid has the say

which college she goes to."

He struck the match against the hot stove and lighted his pipe. "That settles It then," Esther said, shrugging her shoulders heavily. "Enid would give Vi the moon if she asked for it Vi. you can pick your college I'm only your mother, I ain't got nothin'

to say about it. The attempt at sarcasm was lost on Violet. She was all smiles and animation at once. "Then it's one of these in New York city," she answered promptly. "And you needn't worry. Mother, Aunt Enid will go with me." And as we all stared, Laura coming into the kitchen to join us, she went on: "It costs much less to go as a day scholar; you save dormitory ' charges and lots of extras. That will go towards keeping us in some tiny little room near the college. Aunt Enid can look after me, and you won't have to worry don't you remember she said she'd go if you wouldn't let me go alone? And if our money runs out sooner that way, why, I won't stay in college so long, that's all." And that's how our busy plans commenced. As for Laura, she stared a minute, then remarked. "I don't see why Aunt Enid has to go. She wouldn't have any fun in a big city, she'd just be lost she's too old." Tomorrow "Commencement."
