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

THE TURNING. Chapter 39. I washed the dishes and straightened the living voom. Helen showed me how to manicure my nails the week before, and I wanted to do it myself this evening. I noticed the improvement in my hands from the first week or so in town. I had beon doing little hard work, and in addition, 1 had learned to protect my hands. Now I was learning to care for my nail the little details of creams and pumice and bleaches for stains and other things that most women know, and that do count tremendously in improving their appearance. Helen came in later, when her restaurant was closed for the evening. "Your hands do look years youngor," she commented approvingly, when I showed her the results of my homedone manicure. "You know, I've a theory that the varous parts of our bodies are all separate ndividuals and die of neglect. If you neglect your hair it falls out; if you don't take care of your skin, it shrivels up; if your hands aren't treated with proper respect and attention, they grow old before their time." She held out one of her large bony hands and examined it. "You have pretty fingers and a nicely shaped hand," she went on. "It is soft and feminine and shows all the sweetness and refinement that you possess. Now my hand shows my awful common sense and my intensely

pracitcal nature."

with!" she commented. "They won't affect her, for she is too sweet and sane in her point of view. But they

will make her unhappy, and they will affect Bud." Her words Increased my own fears Violet, like most women, had an infinite capacity for sacrifice. She would give up anything, even her point of view, for the man she loved. Against her instincts and her beter judgment, she was accepting these people whom 'she disliked. How far would her love carry her, against her common sense? I was to find out that night. For I was so worried over the whole situation that I could not sleep. I went to bed and lay there reading for a while, and enjoying the wonderful luxury of a book and a reading lamp Esther would have considered such luxury positively immoral. The door into the living room was not quite closed, and the light there was turned low. Presently 1 heard them coming In. I knew something was wrong. " I mean that. I simply won't go out with those people again." Violet's voice was low and excited. In spite of her agitation she remembered that I might be asleep and did not want to dsturb me. "But Vi, they are perfectly all right. Of course Toots' hasn't any brains, but she's a good dancer and a good little sport." "She's rude and vulgar and -" "And Pete's all right. You can't

Something in the girl's voice stopped him Violet had taken another one of her sudden leaps to maturity a flash which transformed her for a time from a sweet little girl to a wise and grown-up woman. Listen, Bud, I don't mind how much you kiss Toots if you like her. And it wasn't for that reason that I broke up

the party. But of course, when you kissed her, Pete turned around and kissed me. You gave him your permission by your own freedom of action. Do you want him to do that. The silence that followed was uncanny electric. Unconsciously, I strained every nerve, as the girl did. waiting for his answer. "You're perfectly right, Vi," he said, and his voice was entirely different. "We all got excited and silly. I'm sorry. I didn't realize I'd half kill him if he kissed you against your will. I'm awfully sorry." Then he went. A long time afterwards Vi told me he kissed her hand as be left. I only knew then that I found her in a little heap on the floor, sobing hysterically, with her lips pressed against the hand that Bud had kissed. Tomorrow Bud's New Friend.
