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

ROMANCE Chapter 14 So Mark and I, sweethearts of 14 years ago, stood and stared at each other. I saw his too-red face, the rolls of fat around his jaw, his slack mouth, his small greenish eyes. I saw the fat waistline, the flat chest, the stubby feet. And he saw an old woman. The cnce golden brown hair was colorless; the fresh skin sallow with the sallowness that. years and neglect and general lack of Interest can produce, he saw wrinkles around my eyes and mouth, ragged cheeks, the look that never expects anything new nor anything more from life. He saw me dressed in u plain brown muslin dress, cut in the queer basque affected by old ladies, with a hat that would have made a caricature of any woman. Fourteen years ago a girl today, how terribly old a woman! And only 35! I agreed. I did not particularly want the lemonade, which was sure to be sour. But it was something to do. We walked over to the bowl and worked our way near enough to be handed a glass each. Mark swallowed three in succession, then ate four pieces of layer cake. Then, apparently feeling much better, he turned from the chattering crowd. "You don't eat much," he commented, as I put my plate with a half finished piece of cake on it, back upon the table. "You always did eat like a bird. 1 remember it now." He seemed pleased at recalling this fact. "Ixiok here, ' Knid. I've gone and forgotten most of the folks here. You stick around near me and tell me who they are. 'Twouldn't do to seem to forget people so." That kept me near him for an hour or more. All Henly Falls was at the function and many relatives from the country near by, so there was a large crowd. The room was intensely hot, and the Japanese paper lanterns swinging from the lines of electric lights only seemed to make the heat worse. The noise of talk and laughter was much too big for the comparatively small hall. In crowds, I have noticed since that the larger the place, the more musical f'oes the buzz of human conversation become. A thousand people under one roof produce a sound like the droning of a gigantic bee. But a hundred or so are not pretty to listen to. Presently my head began to ache. Finally Esther and Vi came up, and Vi was introduced. "Well. I wouldn't have known you," Mark said to her as he had said to us before. "When I left here you were a baby, and now look! A regular young lady, grown up. I'll bet you have a lot of beaus." "A lot of notions." Esther grumbled but good-naturedly. Vi turned pink, and looked anything The Diary of an By Phyllis October 5.

And I am in my mother's very b'lack books, of which there is nothing blacker. . We sailed three days ago, and aside from a slight prostration, due to this old ship rolling considerably, I am prostrated anyhow. And why? Because mother disgraced me in Rome. Positively. Made me pack my things at two hours' notice and planted me on the first train bound for Cherbourg and the boat for home. Said she aimply could not cope with my vagaries !ny longer, alone-, and that home was the best place for yours truly. So here I am. Crushed in spirits, but Ktill optimistic. In the language of the poets, I should worryMy heart was broken at having -to part so rudely from the man who loves me so madly as Ettore does, but what could I do? How dreadful he must feel npw; how outraged. Mother takes things so hard and upsets the whole smiling world for an idea. That's mother all over. ; Ettore wanted me to dope with I him and be married in Naples. Hrrei I have been waiting and yearning lor (.ome man to be strong enough and. daring enough to up and run away! with me, and when one hnahy cornea along, I am unable to run! Can you beat it? Well, there's one thing sure, I shall live u.y own life this winter nr.d I may decide not to marry J.iek, or anyoue else. nnrvthrti' lMfr a n i-m vin nil i h i S ' IICIU lH'niii i iviiv., .

I I have kept to my stateroom ever J since I came on board. This way 1 j get peace, at least. And I can lie here j and go over the events of the last, few hours in Rome with my Ettore. Mother caught us holding hands in J the reading room of the hotel. Bad i enough, but imagine how much worse j when she received a large basket of i roses and lilies, plus an enamoured j love letter (by mistake) the same i evening. Up she swished and greeted me with a terrible look in her eyes. "Was 1 hent on disgracing the whole family? Didn't I know that foreign men were not like unto our men?" And then I was foolish enough to assure her that she was mistaken, and that they were uncannily alike. That Ettore was just as anxious to marry me and make me his countess as Jack was to make me his "Missus." Foolish, wasn't it? "And a nice countess you' would make." scoffed she. "You who cannot keep your eyes from roving and do not know anything about housekeeping." What she didn't say 1 can't imagine. There was no earthly use arguing with mother, so I said but little. She ordered me to pack my things and be ready to leave on the pine o'clock train the same evening. That's the cruelty of some women. My heart sank when I remembered that Ettore had promised to come to my window at that very nour and I thought of how sorrowful he would be when he arrived, only to wild Italian plirases and threw his find his bird about to fly away. It all turned out as I guessed and we met Just as mother and I were stepnine into the .taxi. Ettore burst into!

but pleased at the awkward compliment. I knew how annoyed she really was any girl .would be, if she is in love with one man so such that she cannot see any others. And VI was in love, aa 1 alone knew. "Time flies," Mark observed, as though he had originated that remark. "I guess we're getting on, Enid, aren't we ?" So there it was again! I had it from my sister-in-law, in her outspoken comments on my looks and age. 1 had it from my brother more or less indirectly. I had it from Laura, spitefully. And now my old sweetheart was commiserating me on my age! Finally the party broke up and started home. The family were ready to walk; the school was not so far away from our house. Laura and Charlie had started off ahead of us, and Esther was saying a last good-bye and assembling our guests when Mark came up. "Room for one in my flivver," he said and took my arm to help me in. He drove along the village streets slowly. "Used to go buggy riding in the old days," he said. "Got a car now things are better these days. Got a nice house too, better'n the one I used to have here. Got a good business too." I wondered why he should tell me this. But 1 made some answer to 6how I was interested. "Yep, used to drive In a buggy, got a car now," he repeated. "Want to come for a ride with me day after tomorrow." "Why, yes unless Esther needs me to help," I answered. "All settled then, you'll go." His tones were crisp and curt, like those of a new and overly-indnstrious grocery clerk, so I heard. We arrived at the house, Mark stopped his car. and sat still at the wheel. I got out, unassisted. "See you day after to-morrow," he said, and drove off. So. after 14 years, a man had asked me to drive with him! And it was the same man, the one who had been so devoted, so awkward, and yet so affecticate in those distant days! I sho"'1 have been flattered, thrilled. I shouiu have felt like a young girl again. But I wasn't a bit interested. Romance! Was it necessary to youth alone? Did it stop with the thirties or in the twenties? Is everything sweet and sentimental over with the first wrinkle? He had been a handsome youth, so I thought. I had been a pretty girl, so he thought. He was fat and bald and 40, and complacent. I was shriveled nnd wrinkled and 35, and hopeless. ; Was there an element of romance j there? I thought not and somewhat depressed, I turned from the gate and I walked up to the porch.

should the girl suggest going to a show or something of that sort, or should that be. done when he comes? BRv. VN-EYED SUSAN. When a young man-asks a girl for a dato but does not suggest a theatre or any other form of amusement, he expects to call upon her and spend the evening in her home. She should be prepared to entertain him there with her conversation, music, reading, or in any way she thinks he would enjoy. She absolutely should not ask him to go to a place of amusement when he has asked to call. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with the boys for about a year, and have several boy friends. One I went with a few times last summer, but I didn't like him and so quit going with him. After that he caiue to my house and wanted to take me somewhere, but I didn't go with him. I refused him several times, but he still comes to see me and I don't want him to come any more. People have told me he is crazy about me and he acts like it, too. lie gets jealous if I go with anyone else. What can I do to get him to stop coming to see me? DOLORES M. You had better tell the young man that it is useless for him to ask you to go with him because you will not. Sometimes repeated refusal has its effect, but in your case the young man seems to lack sensitiveness to Euch an extent that he needs a blunt statement.

Concerning Health CHIROPRATIC in Relation to Rheumatism and other Aching Ills VARIOUS THEORIES EXIST to account for diseases, This article supports the growing belief that any disablement which renders the force, vigor and power of the body incapable of causing and continuing health means something gone wrong with the adjustment of parts in the human machine. Diseased conditions in any tissue, organ or part are natural results of cramped or strained nerves.

Names Mean Little THE SEVERAL TYPES OF RHEUMATISM are named from signs presented by the form of sickness. Generally speaking, all rheumatisms are known by aches, redness, swelling, heat and deformity, affecting chiefly the joints and muscles. Chronic cases in plenty prove the futility of the means and methods customarily used to combat the disorders. Chiropractic will do better in a higher average of cases, whether of an acute or lingering nature. Secondary Causes OF COURSE. THERE ARE secondary or contributory causes of disease, but these would not exist to do harm without the primary cause in the spine. Hence responsibility for rheumatism cannot be laid directly, for example, to the kidneys, blood, tonsils, etc., because disturbed nerve energy first exists to account for failures of an organic or functional character. The logical thing to do In any impairment of the health is to work to the end of restoring normal nerve circulation by adjusting the spine to release the impinged nerves.
