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

Chapter 60 ' BUD'S LETTER !Tou really want to marry very badly, don't you, Markri asked. -"Why well yes, of course," he tald. "And after all, It wouldn't make so much difference to you whether, yea married me or not?" I went on. "Why what do you mean?" "Last summer, only a few week after you had asked me to marry you, -you asked Sarah Belle and you were perfectly, happy when she took you?" I was determined to make my point. "Maybe I . don't know. I wasn't heart broken when she married that man out West." he said defensively. "Anyway, what's the difference? That was latt summer. I want to marry you I always did. You I don't know what you do to me. I never saw a woman like you you're different from , these others around here. "You wouldn't get fat and sloppy and drag along. You like a little life and amusement, the same as me. I don't know what it is, Enid. I guess you were right about the romance and the being In iove. I didn't believe you last Summer, but I feel awful romantic now, honest I do." Of course It is impossible to dislike a man, any man, who is in love with you. , I found myself feeling very gentle and tender towards Mark now in spite of his chins, hi3 bald head and his awkward way of talking. Every woman is in love with love, and an incurable romanticist. But I knew my decision as well as I knew it last year. "I could not do it. Mark," T said. And I reached over to his chair and put my hand over his. "I like you. I didn't last summer, but I do now. You've changed a bit too you're gentle, you don't boast so of things. But , I couldn't marry you, not to save the most hopeless old maid in the world not if you were the last person in the world who wanted me." ' Every woman should marry," he protested, falling back on his last summer's argument. "Maybe," I retorted, angered a little. "I don't say I want a career. I don't say I want to avoid the responsibilities of keeping a house. I'm not that sort, as you know. "But I have an ideal. I could not marry unless I were in love as much is love as I could ever be at 29. I'm not in love with you. Last summer you were not in love with me either. You may be now, I don't know. I never expect to marry anyone, or to find any one to love sentimentally. I want to see Violet safely launched in life, with as good an education as I can give her. and if possible married to someone who loves her. After that well, I'll wait and see what I can make of myself then." - This feeling that. Violet needed me, ihat I alone could save her from ruinMY I EDNA PV KENT A GOOD MANICURE LONDON When I was in London before I found a great many suggestions for manicuring which seemed to me an improvement over the way we normally do this at home. I wonder whether I have sufficiently emphasized the necessity for making at least daily use of the orangewood stick. In one of the little schools where manicuring is taught, there are a number of girls studying to become lady's maids. Positions of this sort are most desirable here as they are well paid end the girls live in large and beautifully furnished houses, and have many priveleses in the way of travel and extra gifts that do not fall to the lot of the ordinary maid. In one particular school which I visited, the greatest importance was attached to the proper use of the orangewood slick which, according to the instructress, should have a sharp end for cleansing under the nail and a blunt tip for pushing back the cuticle." The nails, of course, 'require some F.ort of daily care, particularly in the case of the woman of fashion, who must always look exquisite. But even in the case of these women, the only attention which the nails get every day is that the cuticle ia )ushed buck around each nail with the orangewood stick, the end of which is dipped either in lemon juice or same mild bleach like it, or an astringent cuticle cream. The under part of (he nail, of course, is kept beautifully white and clean, hut never with the aid of any artificial paste. At the most a little lemon .iuice used as a bleach. With the daily use of the orangewood f-tick and with a daily brisk buffing to keep the nails polished and to slimu-t late the circulation, they need a more thorough manicure only once a week. There is a fad here for very pink rails. These can be achieved by purchasing the regular nail rouge which comes for tinting or by using lip rouge or face rouge on them. It is a pretty fad if not carried to extremes, : and it is a perfectly harmless one since a pink powder rubbed 'nto the nails is no worse than a white one. Agatha If your legs are too fat it I is quite possible that you yourself are too stout. In that case, of course, you need a general reduction. Betty Brown Eyes Gas on the stomach comes from various causes. I think that if you will take two or Use the oranqe wood stick daily three Yeast cakes every day, or a tablespoonful of Agar Agar once a day, and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables the gas will disappear. Gas always comes from fermentation in the s-toniach or bowels, but there are many causes for this'. If this simple treatment does not help you, see your lhysician. HOW TO MARCEL On Board Bound for Home! One of the things I learned while I was abroad was exactly how to marcel the hair so that it would not look too Btiff and yet so it would have the smart wave that many people find quite becoming. It is exceedingly difficult to marcel properly and frankly I do not know whether any of my readers can accomplish it or not. The first thing y to do is to buy a fairly large curling Iron. You may have to pay anywhere from 75 cents to $1.50 for one, and if

ing her life, was particularly strong in me at this time. If Violet stayed home at the farm, inevitably she would marry one of the boys around us or If she still -6tayed in love with Bud, she would go on, cherishing an ideal, as I had when I was her age, and probably sink down to the dull, dead level I had sunk to. She had not as great a determination in her as I had. I was so occupied with these thoughts that I did not pay much attention to Laura's supper party. I had seen her house. It looked like the colored illustrations in the mail order furniture catalogues. The pieces shone with cheap, high glos3 varnish which I knew would nick and dull with time

The rooms had too many objects in j them, too many ornaments, too many colors. The whole house had a restless feeling. I wondered how anyone could be at peace in it. But Laura was happy, and so was Charlie, and both were a little selfconscious over being so newly married, and over being the hosts to older people people who had always regarded them as children. But Laura served us a delicious dinner, and later she and Esther did the dishes, and I think Esther told her then of the woman in Eastlake, for I heard Laura say with a little shrug: "Oh, I guess they're all alike. If I ever thought Charlie was perfect I know better now. There was a girl But I felt I should not hear any moie since they had not asked me to help them. I deliberately moved away from that part of the room. When we got home again, Violet came to my room. She was not undressed yet, though I had had time to follow all my evening routine of exercise and treatments and to get into bed. "Aunt Enid," she began, hesitating. "Do you think we could find an excuse a cm har-k in thp itv Sonn? Helen ! n-niiM lot n have nnr anartmpnt back again. She could live with us until September, so we wouldn't be putting her out." "Why?" I asked, noting how agitated her voice was. "Well," she said. "I have a letter' from Bud. I'll tell you what he says'' , she went over and lit my lamp. "You see, he's been writing to me and putting the envelope in another addressed to Clara, because Mother would scold so if she knew he was writing me. And I didn't see Clara till this afternoon and then she gave me his letter. And there were always people around, so I couldn't read it till I got home. I'm awfully worried. "What does he say?" I asked. "He says," she answered, opening the pages, "he is afraid he's going to f,et into trouble, something 'that isn't his fault and he wants me to come back. He says he needs me near him, to give him strength. Don't you see. I have to go back?" Monday We Prepare to Ieave ! you are fortunate enough to have yonr house wired for electricity you may even want to spend J6.00 or $7.00 for an electric iron, the heat of which can be regulated. The first thing to do in marcelling the hair is to lift up a portion of what I might call the top layer of the hair with a comb; run the iron under thi with the outer part of the tongs underneath; then when you snap the tongs against tho hair, give them a little twist so that the hair held between the two prongs wilf come to a little (ridge. Open the prongs of the iron and move them down along the hair so that when you again snap together the two prongs you are on the other side of this little ridge you have formed. This makes a little rather sharp undulation along the hair. Now slide the tongs down about an inch or an inch and a half and repeat, the outer prong of your curling iron still held on the underneath part of the hair so you can form this necessary little ridge. This is really all there is In producing a" marcel wave, but this little is important and will require a great deal of practice. You will not find it hard to marcel the sides of the hair, but it will be almost impossible to do the back. The whole secret lies in pinching the hair into the series of ridges which form the marcel. The first day of any marcel is not so pretty, but as it loosens, the wave begins to grow very attractive. Blue Eyes A girl of 15 years, five feet, five inches, is about correct if she weighs 120 pounds. If your hair Is a little darker than golden why not try to lighten it by using egg shampoos and sun baths, and perhaps henna shampoos. - You can make your eyelashes longer and perhaps a very little darker if you i will rub them with a little castor oi The dark eye brows and lashes would be in charming contrast to -your light hair.

By ELOISE. IVENING gowns and wraps may be simple in line and design, but almost every modsl shows lavish fur or bead trimming. At the right is a simple and girlish wrap for the young miss. It Js fashioned of electric blue velvet made in circular style. The trimming is a large soft collar of gray Equirrel and three narrow bands of the sqiirrel trim te body of the tape. This quaint Uap might well your physician remove the moles from your skin; you must not touch them yourself. If you wish to use cucumber juice as a bleach you can rub undiluted juice into the skin at night and let it dry. This is the best looking marcel wave. Loraine There is only one way to remove superfluous hair permanently from the face and that is to have electric needle treatment.

The Editor. I Heart PrbWems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man 20 years old, six feet tall, good looking and a good dancer. I have a good many girl friends, but for some reason I can't fall in love enough to ask any of them to be my wif There is a pirl who lives Ir. the same town and I think a lot of her. but 1 never get a chance to meet her and ask her for a date. Do you think it would be all right to write to her for a date? I never met her. but I know her from being at dances where she is. AN UNEASY FARMER BOY. Tf you try you can get acquainted with some young man who dances with the girl, and then sk for an introduction. Or you might find it possible to meet a Rirl she seems to know and through the girl get an introduction. Do not write until you have met her. Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband and I have been separated six years, that is. my second husband. We only lived together two tuonths and ho deserted me, leaving my children nnd me desperate, without anything to eat. Since then I have washed for a living. This summer a neighbor of ours lost his wife. .In the winter he p.sked mo

to cook for him and the children, j although Bland produces a large parr which I did. It wa. easier than wash- of his food. On one occasion he says ing. Then he wanted me to be his he spent most of one night enmputhousekeeper. He is a good man. but ing th cost of keeping his family everyone things lie is wrong. Still . comfortable, but that the f:,"i-rS they say a job of hat kind would be j reached such a'arming proportions he easier than washing in the winter. ; gave up the job.

I have two children at home. 15 and nine years old. His children are the j same age. I am 48 and have raised j a large family of nine children. Now i I am where washing every day is hurting me. I am threatened with the loss of both hands if I do not stop wasninging, the doctor says. Would you advise me to keep house j for him? My first husband died. ANXIOUS READER. 1 I think it would be all right for you to keep house for the man. Very often when a man's wrife dies he hires some one to keep house for him. Without, a doubt the work would be easier for you and would provide a 1 home for your children. As long as j you yourself know your mode of liv- j ing to be honorable, do not consult ; other people, and feel confident that they will know you are honorable and will respect you. ! Dear Mrs. Thompson I want to ask you if it was right for me to give a boy friend a present after he had given me one for Christmas. The mother of a girl friend thought I : should not have done so. Please tell ' me if it was right? j A GIRL IN SUSPENSE. I In matters of this kind, it probably j is best to be guided by your mother. ! If she gave her approval, the matter ! should rest there.

Dec. 27. For many years Representative Small of North Carolina has by agreement been presenting to R. C. Bland, a Carolina farmer and one of his constituents, a new suit of clothes for each additional child in his family. Having presented thirteen suits, and being recently notified to send the fourteenth. Rep. Small has informed Bland that the contract will be "off" with i Mr. Small's retirement from congress on March 3. Small and Bland made their compact a number of years ago when Small was making a campaign speech at Rebersonville, near here. Bland ; then had twenty children; he now has j thirty-four. Twenty-six of the thirty-four Bland children are living, and the present Mrs. Bland, Bland's second wife, is the mother of nineteen, nine of whom were born during the last ten years, including one set of twins. Eighteen ' children still live at home, but Mrs. : Bland declares she gets lonesome ' sometimes "because so many have gone away." Mr. and Mrs. Bland recently had a group photograph taken of the family still remaining on the Bland farm. While th photographer was working a buzzard cast its shadow on the ground. Bland was asked ir he was superstitious. "No." he said. "I'm not afraid of buzzards, but at first I thought the ! blame thing was a stork." In calling the children together for the photograph. Bland simp'y cupped his hands and in a stentorian voiee cried: "Children". Results were imneiliate. Children anp-ared from every direction. Some of the "-h:l-drn" were grown men and women : others were barely able to toddle forth, and one still was being carried in arms. Bland says it is no nAr trouble to bring up fifty children Ithan it is to raise ten. "After you pass ten." he says, "the older ones are a big help." The children were not unuus'ly noisy.

Girls Eat More Beans, Boys Eat More Sugar, at Industrial School CBy Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 27. Girls of the state industrial school , at Delaware ate almost two and one-half times as many beans as the boys at the Lancaster industrial school, while the boys ate almost twice as much sugar as the girls during 1919. according to a report made by Examiner F. M. Hoopengarner of the state bureau of accounting on activities of the state board of administration. The report covers the period April 30, 1917. to April 12. 1920. Each inmate of the girls' school ate 46.03 pounds of beans during the year to only 19.04 pound consumed by each boy during the same period. The boys ate 43 pounds of suerar each to j 27.71 pounds each by the girls. The Doys aiso ate more rice than the girls, the per capita being 8.65 pounds for the boys and 5.53 pounds for the girls. i tie Bins, However, nau ji on me ooys when it came to eating butter by an almost three to one ration, their per capita consumption being 30.12 pounds to 11.17 pounds ' respectively. The girls also ate more potatoes than the boys, each consuming 3.69 bushels to 2.99 bushels by the boys. Boys ate on an average of 1.90 barrels of flour each to 1.48 barrels each by the girls, according to the report. The Mt. Vernon sanitarium, the report said, lead all state institutions in the per capita consumption of sugar, with 90.41 pounds. The reformatary at Mansfield was low with only 12.61 pounds for each inmate, the report shows, and according to it, all the institutions show a marked decrease in the amount of sugar used during the year, as compared with 1916, except the institution for the blind where an increase of 1.6 pounds per capita was noted. The per cap'ta cost per meal at the various institutions ranged from J346.86, or 26 cents per meal at the Mt. Vernon sanitarium, to $66.83, or 7.6 cents per meal at the penitentiary Hoopengarner declared. Institutions having an annual food cost under $100, he said, were the Cleveland hospital, with $87.68; institution for the feebleminded. Columbus, with $84.06; insti-, tution for the deaf, Columbus. $87.28: I j boys' industrial school, Lancaster, ' $96.87;' penitentiary. $66.83; reforma-! tory, Mansfield, $96.79. i The report shows that inmates of! the penitentiary lead in the consump-: tion of beans with 47.60 pounds fori each prisoner, while the wards at the ; Soldiers and Hailors Home, Sandusky, j were low with an average of 10.20 pounds.

TREE PLANTING IS . PREACHED IN CANADA (By Associated Press) . EDMONTON, ALA., Dec. 27,-TOn a thousand mile tour through southern Alberta in an , automobile equipped with a planting1 and tree exhibit. Arch!-, bald Mitchell has preached the gospel of tree 'planting on the prairies to 1 0.163 people this fall. He conducted his educational campaign under the auspices of the Canadian Forestry Association. - . He is the first tree missionary ever to make an automobile stumping trip .hrough the Canadian West, but his success has been to great that the Forestry Association has decided to make such a tour an annual event. The purpose is to give prairie farmeri and townspeople instruction in the planting and culture of trees to embower their homes in shade, beautify the landscape and furnish wlud-slitl-ters for livestock. Five million tree seedlings are distributed each year from the Dominion government's nursery at Indian Head, Sask. It costs the government one or two cents each to grow the ceedlings and farmers get them for the asking. They are planted under direction of government experts who supervise tneir culture for two years. Ninety per cent of trees planted in the last J ten years have lived, according to the Forestry Association. ARGENTINE FARMERS INTERESTED IN COTTON (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.
