A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Woman's Transformation " BY MARION RU8INCAM

GROPING

Chapter 17 The June days ran along and July came. Esther and I worked like slaves. We always did at this season. In the morning it was the house work; the canning took our afternoons; these Mat afternoons, and while the light lingered after supper, we worked in the garden. What time was left, was taken up by the immense amount of darning and mending. It was the usual routine "-Mondays we washed (and we had several farm hands to wash for now, whose clothes became so revoltingly dirty it always astonished me that, we ever got them clean again), Tuesdays we ironed, and Wednesdays we cleaned. We were : near enough to the road to get its yellow dust over everything. Satur- : days we cooked and baked, and every .. day we cooked a heavy breakfast, a heavy midday dinner, and a hearty supper for the five of us, and our help. And we did the milking in fact, we had to drive the cows to pasture

and home again daily. Jim and James

seein as you wouldn't he likely to

want them. But now with Mark com-

in' around every week you might want 'em yet." "Give them to Laura," I said very positively. "It's not likely Mark will do anything but continue to come around every week "

"Well, if he does say anything, you can make some mere. There's 13 towels, and a crocheted bedspread " So she had been up in my old trunk, counting over the few things I had gathered together in the days when I too, was making a "hope chest." I could picture her delving among the poor" remnants of my one romance, her small eyes eager while she searched for treasures to bestow upon her daughter. To be sure, I had forgotten the things yet there was a sentiment about them. They were laid away in lavender, as mjj, poor romance had been. For a while I hated Esther. I was elsd whr-n the work was done and I could be for a time alone in my room in the cool dark. I sat by the

and the hired men were too busy in window, a wrapper over my night

the fields

And the heat dragged the strength out of us more than the work. "Laura's willing, butyou can't blame her for wanting to do some work of her own," Esther said, excusing her favorite daughter's occasional lapses. "I guess Charlie will speak pretty foon, and they ought to be married this winter." She rang out the wet cloth, and permitted herself a moment of leisure while she thought this over. Then she picked up the kettle of boiling water and poured it into the milk can she was washing, bending over while the steam of it rose around her face, making it hotter and redder than ever. "Of course. shn wants a nice lot of linens and things. She's going to embroider some pillow cases next week, nd she's doin hemstitching on sheets this week. I'll buy her some scarfs to do too girls like fancy things like that, and I must say I think they're pretty. I never did get time to make myself many linens." Laura had not taken much interest in embroidery before. It was only since Charlie had been paying marked attention to her that she began learning new stitches and fancy sewing. Since that time, nearly a year npo, she had been pt it constantly, and already had a fair lot of doilies and napkins and table-cloths. That was 'ike Laura. J.ove affects women in curious ways. It starts some dreaming rose-colored dreams, others to reading poetry, still others to learning embroidery stitches! Violet's soul soared to the highest star, Iaura tied hers to the kitchen stove. Vi idealized the man she loved. Laura wanted to feed him. We rinsed the cans and turned them to dry, and started .for the house. "You got a lot of things in the green canvas trunk in the attic," Esther said suddenly. "I was goin' to have you give 'em to Laura when she married,

gown, and thought about myself.

What could I do? If I wanted to make myself better, now was the time. Esther, under ordinary circumstances, would say "there's no fool like an old fool," if I made the least attempt to cast off my age. But now that Mark was in town, and coming to the house, she had. an idea I still might marry him or, rather, that he might be persuaded to marry me. Also whatever I did to recover my youth, would be at least tolerated. What did these women do, who kept their youth and their charm? I thought over the ones I knew but at

."o, my friends were all married and had families. One already had a daughter 15, and she herself looked older than I. One had had six babies, and was about to have another she was older than I. One had married and been forced to leave her husband she, too, looked old, but she went through worse than I ever had been. Another once a lovely young girl with gold curls that used to blow about her face had married young, had borne and lost four children, and at 29 had suddenly run away with a man. We never mentioned her name, of course. remember this girl particularly well. She never ceased to care for her skin, she was always putting something on it of course. I might try this. There were cold creams at the drug store and powders in little gay colored boxes. Would that help? Suppose I curled my hair? Laura had a curling iron somewhere. I had heard that

olive oil was good for the complexion.;

I slipped into the kitchen in the dark, and found the bottle of oil there,

kept for salad dressing, and some white . cornstarch from the kitchen cupboard. I ran up the back stairs with my heart in my mouth, and locked my door. Then, lighting the lamp, and bending close to the mirror, I rubbed the oil over my face and hands, and wiped it off, and used the powder. I looked at myself then. I looked like a circus clown! Tc-norrow The Girl Rebel

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Sometimes I feel terribly broken-hearted, and then again it looks as if silch things could never happen again. I had so many chances to marry in my days but we had a grand, good home, and I could not make up my mind until I met this man, and he was a widower. I had a big, good heart and thought I would surely do a good deed by

bringing up two motherless children, although it bothered me for some time and I could not make up my mind to marry him. He promised me every good thing. After being married three years we had a little girl, who is my joy now. She is four years old. Her father sees all the time where she ought to be

the others can do as

and did everything I could for her, but she picks up everything and looks for trouble. She is changeable, like a child, and likes something new; that is the way I look at her. I would have left him long ago. but I "am of a very nice family and think it is a disgrace. I would rather die if it gets too much here. I took the step to do godfi and now when they are through with me and have got everything out of me they can, he tells me to get out. I used to cry and cry. I am hardened now and I don't tare for him or his children anyjnore. I da everything for the home a woman can do. The trouble is, I do too much. I keep my troubles from my folks and my friends as much as possible. I smooth out everything as well as I can. When he is over these spells he does not know what all to do for me. We spent such a nice summer, no trouble except what the girl made here lately and one early in the sum-

corrected, but

ihey please. He doesn't say anything and I dare not. Tb,e oldest one is married and so wc get along fine, but the second one is starting her sneaky talk at my back, making trouble in the home, but ho upholds her every time. She is only 16. He is easily influenced by them. We get along fine if his children don't make trouble. I found a letter from the older one showing where it had been planned for the younger one to live with the married one. I feel so terribly hurt now that I don't care if she wants to go. I think the sooner he lets her go. the

better for us. I feel as though 1 am through with her. I meant so well

DYE RIGHT Buy only "Diamond Dyes"

mer. I took a few weeks to get over it though. HEART-BROKEN. The best thing that could happen for you is to let that 16-year-old girl go to live with her sister. When you and your husband are alone with the baby, there will be more harmony in your home life, because there will be no ground, for comparisons and Jealousy. ' Be tactful about the girl's going. If

you appear eager, Bhe will change her mind and will decide to stay where she is. The best thing for you to do is to let the father and daughter work the matter out together. In time the younger daughter may marry too, probably. It is too long a time to wait, however, because you are so unhappy. If conditions do not improve, go home for a visit, and tell him what you told me. Doubtless he

will help you out of your difficulty. The change at least will do you good.

REMEMBER to ask your grocer for Calumet Baking Powder and be sure that you get it the Indian Head on the orange label. Then forget about bake day failures. For you will never have any. Calumet always produces the sweetest and most palatable foods. It never varies in quality And now remember, you always use less than of most other brands because it possesses greater leavening strength.
