A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUB1NCAM

WE ARRIVE. Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. Enid Haines is the old maid aunt-of-all-work in the Haines family. She lives with her brother Jim, a farmer; and two daughters Laura, in love with a young farmer nearby, and Enid's favorite of the family, Violet, not yet 18. Violet insists on going to college in the city, and Aunt .Enid gives her her small inheritance and decides to go along to take care of her. The villagers gossip about this, since Enid's one-time beau, Mark Upjohn, is back in the village, looking for a wife. Enid, being 3o and looking 50, is considered almost hopelessly old and on the shelf. Mark proposes and Enid refuses him, to go to the city with Violet. Chapter 23. The rest of that summer was rather ralnful. We were a house divided Violet and I against the others, with only James, perhaps, neutral. But then, on one ever paid any attention to James. He came and went silently; he ate almost without, speaking throughout, the meal, and in the evenings he lay on his face on the lawn.

tired from the field work. Esther, of coarse, worried over him catching cold and the consequent expense of doctors, and Violet worried for fear he might catch cold and be seriously ill and miserable. The work increased as harvesting grew nearer. I suspected that the weather it was unusually hot and unusually damp that summer, and even laura felt it was affecting Esther's health. At least I gave her that excuse for her constant ill-humor. So 1 did more than my share of work, to relieve Tier as mucli as possible, and 1 managed to do many of Laura's tasks, too, so as to allow her more time for heT new passion of embroidering. Vi had to be excused 1 from most of the work, for our High Fchool was not of the best and she rntered college with conditions. These Fhe was to removo by taking examinations In the Fall, and she was working hard at her books over the vacation. "I'm glad it's almost time to go," s-h said to me one sultry afternoon. I was coming back fTom the garden, my arms full of vegetables, and had dropped down to rest a moment under the trees where she was sitting.

T feel like a criminal. Mother goes around disapproving of everything you do, now you've turned down that Upjohn, and Laura's mad at me because I'm going to the city and she isn't." "We'll ask her to visit us in the winter, when the work is not so hard here," I suggested. "She wouldn't do it," VI answered.

"She's afraid to leave here a week.

t'ckled to death the Dwyers live on the right hand side of our house and the village is on the left." "Why?" "Then every time he has come in town, he has to pass our house first, and she can grab him. She just sits out on the porch all day to grab him, just like a spider!" "Vi"! I protested, "that's not nice, to talk about your sister so." "No, is isn't." Her tones were contrite at once. Then she laughed, shaking back her gold hair." But she does remind me of a spider. I wouldn't be nasty, only they are all so nasty to us because we're going away." The air of disapproval grew as the time drew nearer for us to leave. It

had some style, she couldn't be expected to get him now. Look at her!" They did not even allow me the credit of having refused him! It made a better story this way for them to curl their tongues around, so they believed this, and not the real facts. "She wouldn't have gone if she could have gotten him," they said. "As she couldn't land him" the curious vulgarity of their gossip did not occur to me then "why, she's going to the city with her niece." And they rolled up their eyes as though my intentions were not quite nice. So this was the atmosphere we lived in up to first week or so of September.

Jim, realizing that, after all, I was do-

torn between envy of Vi's superior chances and pleasure that she was to have the education she wanted. Laura grew more and mere sullen, and Esther retired behind a curious wall of pretended injury. But at last we left. We drove over to the nearest railroad station, and from there went to Hartford, to spend the night with friends. Then we took an express, and before noon we were

running through towns that seemed to ,

grow closer and closer together, until finally they melted into each other and we found ourselves flying through the suburbs of the largest city in our country. Vi, sitting next the window, was drinking it all in with eager eyes. Her

It was known that Mark Upjohn had been paying attention to me early in the summer, and there had been plenty of comment about that. After the drive the evening that Mark had said he wanted to marry me and I had refused, with his vanity wounded, he promptly stopped coming to the house. He immediately turned his attention to Anna Lee Kendall, who was 38 and a widow, and one of the best housekeepers in Henly Falls.

vulgar, low and inhuman that h can think of. I have stood abuse and insults from him and his people that are unbelievable. I have two noble, handsome sons. The elder is twenty-three and the other is twenty-one. Both left me and their home because of their father's brutal actions toward me and themselves. I also have one daughter nineteen years old, a perfect lady and one that should be a pride to any decent parent's heart. She is that to me, but it is different with her father. He made it hard for her from childhood and now he seldom speaks a kind word to her. He begrudges her everything she wears. She gets so discouraged at times that she tells me she will be compelled to leave home.

My little girl and I are nervous wrecks because of my husband's abuse. My husband gets good wages and besides we stand good financially There is no reason for making her leave home. Besides, she and I both work hard. She earns most of her clothes teaching music and I keep four good dairy cows and take care of them myself and sell butter and milk. My hus

band considers that nothing when most of it goes for our clothes. We can never enjoy company for fear that he will insult them. As we live on the skirts of a small town it is very seldom that someone does stray our way. Our friends all know my husband s ways and would rather keep out of his way. I can look for nothing else, from him for myself, as I married him against my parents' will, but to think that my poor children have to suffer also! When any parents object to their

daughter marrying a certain man they surely know why, as my parents did. It is a pity that young girls can't understand. Please tell me if there is some way to make my burden easier. TROUBLED MOTHER, If your daughter gets a position in town, I believe you will find your burden easier. Contact with the business world will be good for her. It will interest her and get her away from the unpleasant atmosphere of her home. Doubtless it will please her father, too, to know that she is working at something that will give her sufficient income to support herself. I do not think it should be necessary for her to stay home. - In case her father does not soften toward her,

if she does work, she ought to be allowed to go to live where she will have peace and harmony. It is no wonder you and she are nervous wrecks since you live under constant abuse. To change your husband's nature is really a hopeless task after so many years. The only thing tor you to do is to study his moods and try not to irritate him. Probably

Aged, Wrinkled Faces Easily Rejuvenated

An aged face is often only a mask to a comparatively youthful person. Beneath is a countenance young and fair to look upon. It's a simple matter to remove the mask. Ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at any drugstore, gradually absorbs the worn-out surface skin; in a week or two the user has the loveliest pinky white complexion imaginable. An ounce of the wax usually is sufficient to complete the transformation. It is put on at night like cold cream and taken off in the morning with warm water. This remarkable treatment is invariably effective, no matter how

muddy, sallow or discolored the com

plexion. Freckles, moth patches, liver spots, pimples, blackheads and other cutaneous blemishes, naturally vanish with the discarded skin. To remove wrinkles and flabbiness, here is a recipe that cannot be too highly recommended: Powdered saxoIite, one ounce; dissolved in witch hazel, one half pine. Use as a wash lotion. Advertisement.
