A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY Tbs 8tory of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAIi

BUD'8 NEW FRIEND ' Chapter 40 The teeeks ran along through the early Spring and brought with them new interests and new duties. I was becoming a little cleverer with my needle by this time, and I could follow more easily the inspirations that Helen gave me. . I made up a Spring and Summer wardrobe for Violet and myself. I tound that the cost was really very little the eerge suit we made so painfully the year before, back In the country, I recut Into a modish fashion and bent away to be tailored by a goodnatured little Jew in a basement tailoring establishment. Dainty blouses and smocks I made from odd remnants of material, and dresses from the lengths of cotton goods cherished for years by Esther and packed away for us in the old-fashioned trunk we brought to our city borne. In making ray own clothes, I kept to Helen's suggestion. In style I made them sophisticated, smart and very simple, with always some one unex

pected touch about each dress that kept it from being ordinary. It took lota of time, but fortunately I had nothing to do but study ways to improve myself. And I kept up all the other things the detailed care of my hair, coaxing back some of Its youth and colpr and lustre; the careful cleansing and stimulation of my complexion, which softened and cleared and lost some of the finer network of lines. I began pay Ing a great deal of attention to our diet too Helen made a scientific study of this in connection with her iestaurant. I discovered that wo in the country, growing quantities of fresh vegetables and such things on our place, lived on a diet of soft dough which would" have killed us with dyspepsia had we not worked as hard as wo did. So I made up salads and cooked fruit and used whole wheat and bran lavishly in baking, and saw even Violet's skin enrw clearer, and my own gradually become fresh and even pretty, Violet was happier now. Of course her happiness lay with Bud, and Cud was a model young man theso days. Ho saw Pete, of course, and I think

occasionally he even gambled a little in stocks; but he went out but rarely

get something hot to eat and drink. I offered to bring him a lunch I mean to carry in something hot on a waiter, that's often done, you know. But he

said that was unsatisfactory it al-

wayB got cold and messy. So I said u he was game to sit at a counter, I'd take him some place where they fairly threw the food at you, they were so anxious to serve you and get rid of you. I took him to a place where I

eat if you call it eating. You grab some soup and a roll and coffee and

get out, but it s clean and tastes gooa "He was game all right. He came

along and we perched up on high

stools together and ate and talked."

We laughed at his description, and Violet was pleased because Bud had

gained a little favor with his employer. She was still more pleased one evening come weeks later, when we met Bud and Mr. Meade at one of the restaurants in the Village. ' We decided to go out that night, and we hunted up a little place where the

most eecentric people dined, and , vhere food was good and cheap, too. I And in walked Bud and a tall man.

importantly, and with a boyish desire to impress us. "He's my boss, you know. This is Miss Enid Haines and her niece, Violet Haines, Mr. Meade." We shook hands, and they sat down at our table. Tve lived In New York years and never saw Greenwich Village," Mr. Meade explained. "George here said he lived near it and I asked him to pilot me around some of the show places." He looked about him, Interested in some of the curious types sitting around us. "After dinner will you go with me with George and myself, to some of these remarkable little restaurants?" he asked. I smiled and nodded, and Violet, taking a sudden fancy to him, and doubtless wishing to make a good impression on so Important a person, flashed him her very nicest smile. And so began a rather remarkable evening.

ers (which has always been to make use of the simplest and most natural means) I have been following out the English formula. If the nails are quite dull the manicurist will use a polishing powder, but if possible Fhe will polish only by using the buffer. She never produces a very high gloss because that it is

considered good taste. It is remarkable how well the nails look after this timple manicure, and how long they

retain tholr well-cared-for appearance. ATI Inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes In care of the "Beauty Chats'" department will be answered in these columns In their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owing1 to the great number received. So, If a personal or quicker reply Is desired, a stamped and self -addressed envelope must be enclosed with the question. The Editor.

A MANICURE IDEA. i London, October 28th. Among the very valuable suggestions which I have been finding here, is a new idea about manicuring. There may be places at home that manicure in the way I am about to describe, but if there are, I have ben unfortunate enough not'to find them. The English girl gives a manicure as follows The first thing she does Is to rub a quantity of cream around the edges of tho nails. Sometimes this Is a plain cold cream, sometimes it i3 a special cream made for treating the cuticle. Having rubbed this In thoroughly, she takes her long, flexible file and very

carefully shapes the end of each nail. )

She does not make an exaggerated long point, nor a very sharp point, as v.'o do at home. In this, as in every other matter the English taste is ilauT and less extravagant than ours.

curist la then ready to attend to the very delicate ekin around each nail. Some of the cream has been washed

off in the warm water but not all of it .and the whole Anger tip la warm

and moist from its immersion. She j rubs a little moro cream about the base of the nail. Then with a sharpbladed cuticle knife she shpaes off all the dead skin that may be attached to the nail itself. This may be all that Is necessary to do, except that the rest of the cuticle must be pushed back with an orange-wood stick, whose tip is twisted about with a little absorbent cotton, so that it cannot possibly

bruise the skin. If the cuticle is rough, the rough places, of course, are clipped off with scissors, but the Euglish manicurist refuses to use any sort of acids upon the nails. As g. matter of act, I have Tound that in my own advice to road-

Heart Problems

l,., - Dear Mrs. Thompson About two weeks ago one of my girl friends called up and asked me to have a date with a boy 6he knew. We went car riding and when he brought me home he asked me to write. I didn't

promise whether I would write or

not. He didn't ask for another date and I didn't ask him to come again, as I supposed it was his place to ask me. Since then my girl friend has Been

him and she said he wanted her to

ask me for another date with him

She told him that he would have to

ask me. Then he said he would call me, but he hasn't called yet. Do you think I ought to wrhe to him? Do you think the reason he does not ask for another date is because I didn't invite him to come again? If that is

the reason, do you think I ought to

write to him asking him to come to

ree me sometime, or should I let him ' go? I am not in love, as some girls fay. but I would hate to have him feel that

I didn't like his company at all, because I did.

SUSIE ANN. I would advise you to let the boy

go. When ho wants to see you again he will ask. To write to him would give him a chance to think you were

running after him. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you please print a list of things to eat which will not make one fat? IGNORANCE. First of all, do not drink liquids with your meals. Besides, avoid potatoes and other starchy foods, fat meats, milk and eggs. Fruits, except bananas, will not increase your weight. Lean meat which is thoroughly cooked is all right. Deai Mrs. Thompson: Will ' you please advise me regarding the removal of superfluous hair. Would you recommend the electric needle or is there any other permanent way? INQUIRER. There Is no permanent way except

the electric needle, and even that can

not be guaranteed to be permanent. Mrs. Thompson: (1) In crossing the street should the gentleman take the lady's arm? He may assist her. (2) If so, should he continue taking It after crossing the street? No. (3) If one does not care for Ice cream after a movie, what could one say? Simply say that you do not care for refreshments. (4) What do you think of cheek to cheek dancing? Is it all right to dance that way in your own home? It i3 poor form in public and private.

'You're perfectly right," I heard. him

tell her one evening. "I am doing better work at the office, and I may even get another raise this summer." Violet smiled at him. She was one of those rare souls who can refrain from rubbing in a triumph. "The boss has several tim, snt mp t.n special errands for him," Bud went on. "And yesterday we mei going riown in the elevator, and what do you think? We went out to lunch together. "Oh, how splendid! Where?" Vi nsked. She was thinking at once of a restaurant with palms and music and attentive waiters, and Bud in the centre of this talking serious business matters with his employer. Bud had a sense of humor, and he prinned broadly as he caught -his thought In her mind. "I hate to spoil your illusions," he fald. "But It was this way Mr. Meade was In a tearing hurry, and he asked me where the quickest place was to

Vov.i of warm water containing a little castile soap and quite a bit of lemon juice. Now this is really a very clever idea, because the manicurist is bleaching the skin around the nail at the same time she is softening the cuticle. At home we do this also by

u?ing soap in tho warm water of the bowl. The cleverness of the English method consists in the fact that, the cream rubbed in around the nails prevents tho lemon juice from drying out the i delicate cuticle.

RACHMANINOFF has not only made Re-Creations for the New Edison. He has also made recordings for one of the standard talking-machines. We are glad to announce that these talking-machine recordings may now be heard. We want you to hear them and compard ! Determine for yourself which gives you the real Rachmaninoff. Let us play Rachmaninoff's Edison Re-Creations for you. Mark how clear, how true the piano tone. See how every note in his runs, every accent in his interpretation, every shade in his pedalling is perfectly Re-Created. This was proved by a test made at Mr. Rachmaninoff's home in New York City. He played the Second Hungarian Rhapsodie (Liszt) in direct comparison with the Re-Creation of his perform

ance by the New Edison. The absolute fidelity of the Re-Creation to the artist's original peformance astounded the listeners. Make the Rachmaninoff comparison. It will guide you right in selecting your Christmas phonograph. Ask also about our Budget Plan It brings your New Edison for Christmas without squeezing your pocketbook. Remember, too, that, in buying a New Edison now, you are virtually buying a before-the-war-value with an after-the-war-dollar. The price of the New Edison has increased less than 15 since 1914, and a portion of this increase is war tax. "Edison stood the gaff" to keep his favorite invention within the reach of every one who loves beautiful music.
