A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Woman1 .Trpratorttistioa , BY UARION HUB1NCAII ; - -

- Chapter SS MARK COMES AGAIN It seems to me as 1 look back orrer that Summer, that it waa a series of climaxes, from which we dropped immediately to a dead level. That momentous day the most terrible Esther had ever experienced found us sitting calmly at the table, eating pork chops and boiled potatoes, as though nothing important had happened.

Our hired men ate hurridly and rav

enously and went out to their work. Jim ate as heartily as though he had

not been through some of the most

tempestuous emotions possible, not two hours before. Rage. hate, guilt

and remorse and anxiety as to wheth

er his home would be broken up or not

had no efTect on his appetite. He ate five chops and regretted the fact that we had only gingerbread and coffee for dessert. .

James did not appear and I thought it best for him to wait until the meal was over. But he came In finally, a

little frightened, and sullen as usual.

Esther ate as steadily axO amply as

UBual Indeed, the only two people in the family not directly affected by the morning's quarrel, were the only ones

too upset for food VI and myself.

"I dunno what 111 do about it," Es

ther told me that afternoon.

And a little later in the day she re

marked: "I guess maybe all men are alike.'

So she was going to forgive him

after all! I suspected as much from

the beginning.

"Are they all alike?" VI asked me.

the eternal question in her blue wist

:ful eyes. "Do you think so? Do you

i think Bud's just like all the rest

And when I could not answer, she

; answered herself:

'Tm sure he isn't Bud's different

.from all the others. Don't you think

. so. Aunt Enid?"

And apparently almost contented by

deceiving hftself. she went on out of

I the room.

I was worried and very much upset, ,and I waatod in seme wa.- to help them the whole family seemed to be iin a tangled web. and I could not see ,any way out of It. All I couia do was to hunt up James' socks that needed darning and sit out on the ; porch and mend them for him. Paruaps, I thought, it would be best for Esther to go to the city. She might, if she lived there, find the new .point of view that I had found; she might wake up, as I had awakened; she might learn to take care of her- ' self and perhaps win back some of her ;lost youth and prettiness, as I bad. But can a woman win back her husband when she has once lost him? Can she win hack her youth i and her attraction when she has 60 completely let go? Must she not have a great deal of imagination and a great deal of ambition -and above all, persistence, to accomplish this rejuvenation? I

had the three latter qaalities but j Esther had not. 1 For, while I could not condone my brother in any -way, still I could not help ' but feel that some of It was Esther's fault. Jim had within him a real love of beauty, and a great deal of love and tenderness. And Esther had not tried .to, satisfy the first, nor to encourage tne last. In fact, she had discouraged it as being, in some vague way, not quite proper not becoming in a man years married and the father of a family. After all, what right had she to thint' that she could retain this man's

love with her unkempt hair, her

shiny red skin, her careless figure and still more careless clothes? This line of thought reminded me

that I was growing careless myself, for I was sitting out on the porch in

the housedress I had worked in all

morning. I went up to my room, and

dressed very particularly, watching

with satisfaction bow my skin cleared

and took on color when I washed and

massaged it, and how my face lost

years when I dressed my hair nicely.

I deliberately chose the most youthful

of my gowns, and then went do

stairs again to my mending.

After all. I had earned something. 1

no longer looked young in spite of my

self, but at least I looked less tnan

my age when I was very careful of

my dressing.

A crating of - wheels outside maae

me look up. Mark Upjobn's familiar

little car stopped at our gate. Mark's

too familiar-face peered over the door

and smiled at me. I could do nothing

hut ask him in. t

"I hear you're gom' over to Laura's

for supper, Sunday,?" he said, sitting down on the porch and forgetting the formality of removing his hat

' I nodded. , "How are they gettin on?" he asked amiably. "They're Quite happy, 1 think.. -1 answered. "We haven't seen them since the wedding. Mr. Dwyer gave Charlie a vacation, though it was the

busy season, and they went off for a

little trip." - . "Yes. Well, I stopped off a minute as I drove past" Mark said. "Nice

place there, everything looks so new. I like a house where all the furniture is shiny and new, don't you?" "No, I don't." I answered promptly. "Don't you?" he laughed, looking over at me. I decided he had gained another ten pounds and ono more chin since I saw bim last "Well, you and me don't, agree on lots of things. But we're pTetty good friends anyway, ain't we, Enid?" "Yes, very good," I answered, not very enthusiastically. "Wen, that's all right then." he said, getting up. 'I'm going to Laura's Sunday, too. She asked me today. So I'll stop for you and drive you over. I'll be cere at 4 and we'll make a round trip of it? Tomorrow Decision.

Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a very difficult problem which for five years I have been unable to solve, although I have studied it from practically all known angles and have tried every remedy that I know of without a particle of success. Briefly it is this: My wife possesses a temper which

she Is unable to control or at least ruaies no effect to do so. I presume I ! do not have to tell you how unbearable some of the situations become which she creates. We have two small chil-; dren and the least thing that either of' them does which does not exactly correspond to her prevailing state of mind is resented by her with an outburst of feeling which I, as her husband, can truthfully say Is very disagreeable. She also is very talkative and makes it a point to combine the two with what result you can readily imagine. At times I think this condition is nervousness, but being a connoisseur of character, I cannot prescribe a remedy. I have a substantial income, provide a good home for her and the children and do not believe anything in my actions or words prompts her to a display of this feeling. She is healthy and so are the children and I cannot understand why Fhe persists in making everything so disagreeable. I have talked to her, trying to explain that such actions are not very good "friend-makers," but in this also I have failed. We are practically strangers in the city, having come here about a year ago,

and have no relatives here and only

a few friends, probably due to her unsettled ways. UNCERTAIN.

You cannot expect to make over your wife's nature. The best you can do will be to avoid friction by your

own tact. An occasional vacation would also help. When your wife seems tired, a little trip would do her good.
