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

COMMENCEMENT Chapter 12 From the first of June, things seemed to go in a mad rush. We were to entertain a great many relatives for the Commencement exercises, and as some of them were coming from a distance, we had to keep them overnight. Henly Falls was "back country" enough to take its hospitality very seriously. The commencement day dinner was to he as big a feast as though the occasion was a wedding. The day before there was to be a huge picnic supper on the

lawn, and then 'everyone was to go in the evening to the class day exercises. "But why are you going to do all the strawberry preserving now?" I questioned Esther one morning. She was busy with a box of sand, scouring out an enormous preserving kettle .Bcoured, incidentally, when It was put away in the fall and surely not in need of such vigorous treatment as it was now getting. Esther looked up, her mouth pulled down at one side. I remember her so well that day, her hair hanging around her face, her skin hot and ;red, one sleeve of a blue calico housedress torn to the shoulder? "Because Mabel Danford's coming, and shu thinks she makes better preserves than me, and I'm going to show her," Esther said sourly. "And you can get Grandmother's recipe from that, book of mine in the setun' room I forget just tne quantities and after that you can help Laura wlih the berries in the garden." And that was only one thing. 1 had long since finished the dainty white voile that Violet was to wear. H was very plain, old-fashioned perhaps, but charming on her. She. had wanted a silk dress for the class day event, for that was in the evening and the other girls wore very fancy clothes, but such a storm was raised that Violet decided to drop the whole matter. I managed finally to get her a really nice frock from some cheap pink crepe and some lace left from an old dress. It was,, of course, a very bad sort of dress but we didn't know that then. Then Esther had to have a new dress, and so did I. We spent a few days shopping in a nearby town, and many evenings making up our materials. Esther wore blue; mine was some sort of brown muslin, I think. Jim shared in the general rejuvenation. But James, poor James, was forgotten as always. James had been taken from school when the spring ' plowing began, and no attention was paid his occasional remarks about his needs. Poor James, I'm afraid, felt that badly he had wanted to graduate, and

the place, in tlte wake of my stern mother! (To be continued.)

he was missing now more than two of the final months of work. That part being over, we cleaned and cooked and baked for days in advance Laura a little sullen because this excitement was not about her. but

doing her share of the work valiantly. We tended the garden, the bit of lawn before the house, and the flowers; we did the milking; occasionally we were called on for some of the lighter tasks in the field. The days were long and hot. And at last the Class Day itself came. "There's Cousin Bill Haines and his wife coming," Esther said, excitedly, standing in the door. "Look, they've got a new car! My, he does drive it well." "And Uncle Joe and Aunt Anna," Vi said, dancing about the porch in her excitement. "Oh, isn't it lovely to have a party a party, a party!" She had dropped into her queer little singing tones, and I smiled over at her. Eyes blue-black from excitement, cheeks scarlet, hair blowing in flurty curls around her face, she was certainly a picture to look at and admire. Laura, plainer and more stolid, was quite lost; this was certaiciy Violet's own party, but Laura, pieased ai having the presence of Ctariie Dwyc-r. for once did not mind tola. And after the reunion that's what it was for nearly all our relatives had come over and the huge picnic supper on the lawrt, we trooptd over to the hchool building for tie exercises. It was a great event in the Falls and the country around about. James came with us, in his shabby best suit, the picture of all that was wistful. He sat in the large ha'l with us, watching his sister and all his friends going through the foolisu personalities and the formal "exercises" that make up any class day yet that are of such absorbing interest to the class and the girls' and boys' families. If his sister, Violet, was one of the

poorest dressed girls on the platform, she was certainly the prettiest, and the only one without some trace of self-consciousness. "There's Billy Diggs see him. Aunt Enid? Wonder who gave him the

green tie?" James whispered to me. Billy was James' chum. I alone knew the envy with which my young nephew watched him for Billy was part of the graduating class. Suddenly Esther, all excited, clutched my arm! "Look, look over there!" she pointed towards a corner of the room. "There's Mark Upjohn look, do you see him? Your old beau. Mark? What do you suppose brought him back here after all those years. Do you s'pose it was just to see his nephew, Billy Diggs, graduate?" MondayThe Old Friend.

rr Heart Problems Dear Mrs. .Thompson: I have been married twice and have one child, three years of age, by my first mar

riage. I was only married recently to the husband I have now. He is younger than myself. I had gone with him eight months. I married him not only for love, but to give my little girl, as well as myself, a home. She had never had a father's love and really never had a home. After I was divorced from my first husband I did housework in order to keep her with me. After I got married the second time and went to housekeeping my husband did not take an interest in the baby or me. I felt as though be were dissatisfied. I tried to please both and even neglected the child, for which 1 am sorry. He threatened her life and was so cruel to her I was forced to let my mother take her, where she has been ever since one week after our marriage. He never speaks uf her or gives her a thought, which makes me hate him. 1 am one, who wouldn't give a child of mine up for the best man on earth, tor children come first and last. I am only 21 and have a chance to go back to the place where 1 used to work for a widower and children. Therefore, I feel as though I ought to take the old position again, where it would seem home to both of us. I have been in ill health since I married and I am afraid worry is liable to cause me to be bedridden. Do you think l ought to turn my daughter out and go ahead living with

my present husband after I oncp risked my life for her and would again? Or should I go to a better, place where we will both be appreciated. STUNG TWICE. I believe you should consider your child first and find a home where both of you will be welcome. Your husband does not deserve to keep you

since he is so unkind and unreasonable about the child. He should have realized before marriage that with you he must accept your little one. It will not be hard for you to locate as housekeeper in a good home. If

you feel that conditions are right and favorable where you used to work, accept your former employer's offer. But if you are not satisfied with conditions there, look further. CONCRETE STEAMER SINKS; NINETEEN ARE MISSING NEWPORT, It. I., Oct. 30. The concrete steamer Cape Fear, a United States shipping board vessel, was sunk in the deepest part of Narragansett bay Friday in a collision with the Savannah line steamer, City of Atlanta. At a late hour, nineteen of the crew of thirty-four of the sunken vessel were unaccounted for. The Cape Fear sank in three minutes about half way between Castle Hill on the Newport shore and Rose Island, going

down bow first in l2o latnoms.

Words fail me. The women are dark, with ravishingly lovely skins and languishing eyes that make you dream. For an artist, like myself, this is the city of the world. But here comes the thrill.
