A SWEETHEART AT THIR3JY - The Story of a Woman's Transformation, BY MARION RUBINCAM

, A DISCOURAGEMENT Chapter 35 So I put myself Into the hands of .the kindly, zealous little neighbor who ran a tearoom successfully, and successfully left off seven or eight years of her age. And as the winter went on, my transformation became swift, instead of gradual. Before this, I had made little faltering attempts to redeem myself. In time, I would have succeeded. But Helen came and with a rush changed me from a smirking little old lady into a well, yoii shall see. "You'll have to spend money on your suit and the corset. Those things are most important and you can't make them," Helen said. . And I went with her obediently. She picked out the uit. reduced, but still costing a sum that made me hold my breath. She picked out a corset with long, slim lines, and had it fitted to me. She made me the hat I had worn one of Esther's cast off bonnets and made me purchase furs. "Furs soften the face," she said. "And now about face powder?" So I got that too and rouge, though I protested for days .against this, and decided I would never, never use it, and that I was only buying it because Helen wanted me to. And then I bought material in sales, and made it up at home. And eventually I, too, had what Vi called a,."city wardrobe." And there was the transformation, complete before my eyes. I found that the corset was so cleverly made it turned my bony awkwardness into lines of slim grace. I found the face powder lent a whiteness to my skin that was not really artificial and not unbecoming. I found that the care I was giving my hair, had coaxed back some of its old color and a little of the waviness it once possessed. Helen dressed it high up on my h'ead in a very fashionable way. "You know, you have a profile," Vi said, watching the proceeding from her position on the couch. It was Bate afternoon and she was studying, irtid Helen had dropped in for a visit. "f course she has a profile. She is really very pretty, only she's afraid to admit it." Helen's intelligent eye3 squinted up as she smiled at me. I flushed and turned to the mirror. I saw suddenly that my small nose really made my face rather young Ksther had always made fun of my "pug nose." I found the high piled hair gave me a look of sophistication that was rather nice. The gown the satin one clung around me, and the, figure it revealed was. slender and youthful. I looked not F0 as on that other night when I dressed up before my mirror. I looked possibly 40. Yes. 40 buth rather a young and well preserved 40. I decided I would have.) some more face treatments. It was not the corsets, not the clothes, not the powder, at least, it was not entirely these. The change 'was menal more than physical. Before, I ; lived in an atmosphere heavy with discouragement. In Henly Falls there was nothing to strive for but here, there seemed to be so many things worth working towards. It was this that was making me young. And then, curiously enough, Esther came into my life again. Whenever I wag in this light-hearted mood, she seemed to reach out and choke me. Agaij. it was a letter from her, delivered in the last mail that afternoon: "I wish you'd come home," she

wrote. "I don't approve of two worn- j sorry I did refuse, for now when I en living by themselves in a house moet him on the street he only recoi;built on one floor like yours. It don't j nizes me and smiles. He does not seem decent having the kitchen and ; even speak to me or even call me up.

bedrooms and sit.ing room all scrambled together lik you describe. Besides, it costs a. lot of money. Of course it's your money and it ain't for me to tell ;you what to do with what's yours.', y ut Vi can just as well board at the coy ege and you can come home. ' "Besides, I got a special reason. Mark Upjohn ixnd Anna Lee Vernon ain't going to ' get married after all. And you can et, him still, if you'll stop those foul ideas of yours and come here. E3er sister died, out in Omaha, and f.bb had to go out to the funeral, and stayed on for a visit while she was" there, and it appears someone she laked better turned up. Anyway, she wrote Mark she didn't think they wsb fitted to pull together I guess she was right at that; they had some woirds now and then. "Mark went on back home before that happened. But he's around Henly Falls a bit- He's got a half interest in Perkins' store here, and comes over every feur weeks. Now you come home and sit around some and I'll bet he'll show u and call on you. You can have my black grosgrain silk. I wore it three years only and it's good as new. ' 1 "Charlie almost spoke the other night. I thiak maybe by next ween he and Laura, will be engaged. I hope 'for she's not much use around the house, she's so fidgety." Again the sense of depression came, chokine me as though some physical thing had clutched my throat and shutJ off my breath. , What was J. after all but a woman past her youth, chasing a phanton? , What was 1 but a fool, "an old fool, as Esther had said often enough dressed up now in a fashionable gown, posing as young! I dared not look again in the '.mirror, for fear I should see a lined, drawn, hollow face, with eyes -thaf Stared, and a mouth that sagged, and liair that hung in discouraged strands. If I were an old woman, why should I try to deny it? After all, I was living for Violet, and 1 could do that as well beins old as being young. (Tomorrow Vi's Trial.) I Heart Problems .

After making a mistake, there is little that can be done except to try not to make the same mistake again. When you meet the young man on the street speak pleasantly, and he may come back of his own accord. Try not to think about him, because you only make yourself unhappy. You are too young to think you are seriously in love. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl 14 years old, and I am quite tall. Am I too young to have boy friends? BLUE BELL. Yes, you are too young.
