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

i Chapter 64 POOR JAMES " The atmosphere of hostility lasted as long as Helen stayed. If she felt It and she must have felt it, for she was really very sensitive she never I let on. And though when we left, the sir of disapproval was still like a thick cloud around us, in some measure it had lightened. But at first, Jim refused to allow Violet to go back to the city at all. "I won't have my daughter living near such a woman," he stormed. "I did think Enid had some sense, but I guess Esther was right, she hasn't. Not only lets her know such people, but knows 'em herself. A woman cutting off her hair like a man, and smoking! It ain't moral." Opposition suddenly flared up Into Esther's eyes. She swung about on Jim? "There's some that can talk about ' morals and some that can't," she said. And Jim subsided. After that, nothing was said against our departure for the city. We were even allowed to go in August without question, though the college did not open until September. But Violet did have one examination to take, to work off a condition. So we laundered our clothes, and ransacked the attic for more treasures things discarded by Esther, but which we might take with us to make our flat still more old-fashioned and quaint in appearance. "A perfect treasure house," Helen said, following us through the dim -.! o ii v ,!,. f !

VI, do you think your mother would give it to me you say everything up here is junk." "What is Itr VI asked, peering through the gloom. "It seems to be an ocean of blue velvet breaking on a shore of pearly shells," Helen explained, bringing the object over to us. "Oh yes, it's a handkerchief box given mother when she was a girl," Vl said. "I remember she told me I I Heart Problems - - -- Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl seventeen years of age and engaged to a boy nineteen years old. My parents object to my going with him. I have a step-father and he isn't the least bit good to me, and I cannot see anything else to do but marry. The boy has proved that he loves me, and he is awfully nice to me. He gave up his best sweetheart for me, when I came home from college. Please tell me what to do. A. J. V. F. Do not marry now. The times are too hard and you would get a wrong start. It would be better to put up with the unkindness from your stepfather than to marry when you could not get along from want -of money. There are very few young men of nineteen who could possibly support a wife with prices s high. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a fellow who most girls consider radical, but I do abhor rouge, lipsticks and eyebrow pencils, and not a few girls nowadays use them. I admire a quiet girl, one who goes out but once or twice a week, and one who considers herself too good for a few common persons. Also, I generally pick the blonds, although I have no particular reason why. Another thing I dislike to see is a young girl running to every dance that comes along; nothing seems to lower a girl so quickly. I know one girl in particular whom I admire greatly, but who is too young to receive my attentions. I don't mind waiting, however, and when it comes time I hope to have a clean record to show her. Please critize me as much as you see necessary, and I will be more than thankful. JUST PLAIN BILI You certainly have a critical nature. I would advise you to look for the qualities you do like and spend less time thining about imperfections and failings. It is a fine thing to be an idealist, but you are apt to bo disappointed as you go through life. It Is a very fine thing to look for the soul back of the painted face.

picked half the shells off when I was a baby and ate them." It was a large box with a blue velvet top, surrounded by a row of very pearly shells, the sides being covered entirely with the gleaming shells. It was much battered. ' TU dig up some new shells from Coney, Helen said. "And put on fresh velvet. I'll use it in my tea shop." "Your tea shop!" Esther exclaimed when Helen asked prettily for the box. "Do you sell tea?" We had to explain what a tearoom was, and that this one was also a restaurant. But she was very gracious about giving the box. But it was James who was captivated by our interesting guest. He worked hard and fast all day, to get off early. He washed and changed to a clean shirt for supper, and stole off to the porch afterwards to talk to Helen before the family assembled out there. "Think of seeing this all the time," I heard her say, one evening when twilight was deepening. "Look at the billowing ocean of mist, where the meadow Is, and the moonlight and the space between the trees opening out upon it. It reminds me of a bit from Keats. "Do you like poetry?" she turned to him, her intelligent brown eyes all alight behind her dark-rimmed glasses. "Not much. That is, I do, when you quote it. But I like machines, and wheels, and engines that turn things. There's sort of poetry Jn them, isn't there?" He asked it shyly. I never heard James talk this way.

"Indeed, yes. There would have to . ----- - ------ "7 purr of a well oiled engine, and in the bum of flying wheels.'.' she answered. "That's it that's what I feel. Don't you, Vi?" he turned eagerly to his sister. Vi nodded, bobbing her golden head up and down in her eagerness to agree. "Tell me some more about it," Helen said. She sat down quietly, instinctively feeling she must not break the thread of the boy's thought?. "I had a little workshop where I had a peach of an engine," he said hurriedly. "I made it run by using a strap and pulley, but I was going to get it perfect, as I thought it out, then take it over to a garage where I work sometimes, and start it going with gas it was a gasoline engine," he explained. "And what happened?" Helen asked. "It it got broken," the boy's head turned away. And I knew Helen knew, in spite of his brave attempt to 1 ide the truth. "I was going to run away," he turned to hr again, and spoke almost fiercely. "But every time I was readv to go I just couldn't, that's all. It's easier to stay. Do you think I ought to run away, when I said so?" "That's for you to decide," Helen said. "Whatever is in your own soul will always lead you." "It's easier to stay," James repeated, all the fire gone from his voice. Tomorrow We See Bud Of the 40,000 words in the English I dictionary, no more than 10,000 words are used.

Never mind your age as measured by years. How do you feel? That's the thing that counts! - See this sprightly old gentleman coming toward you down the street. His birth record would show you that he is past seventy. But judging from the easy grace with which he swings along, his errect carriage, his ruddy complexion, the keen glance of his eye, his whole appearance the very picture of health, you would say that he is not a day past fifty. He is young in spite of his three score years and ten. More frequently you see the opposite of his type.

TY EDNA jj KENT PORBES A NAIL CREAM On Board Steamer. There is a great deal of discussion as to how often a cream should be used on the finger nails. Most creams tend to make the cuticle grow longer, a thing which is not particularly desirable. There are certain creams, however, which are astringent in their action, and if these are used on the nails they will not encourage the same time they will keep the cuticle soft and smooth. Such creams are a recent invention I happened to run across one first in England, although of course we are manufacturing them in our own country. The necessary thipg is to keep the cuticle soft and smooth and not allow it to grow down over the finger nails. The part that grows over the nail has no nerves in it and is called dead cuticle; it has to be kept scraped off or else, because it is joined to the live cuticle, it will break off and form hang-nails. A great many people use acid to dissolve the dead cuticle and to keep the edges of the nail smooth and even. But acids are very drying and their effect is temporary; in time they will make the cuticle much rougher than it was before. A cuticle cream solves the problem. If it is astringent it will keep back this ever-growing skin, and so give the nail itself a good outline. At the same time, fince it contains oil, it will not dry the skin but will keep it soft. There are various things one might use fo rthis; for instance, carbolated vaseline which most manicurists claim is rather drying at least, drying enough to keep this undesired dead skin off without having the ill effects of- a drying acid. And camphor ice would be very good, for the camphor is sufficiently astringent, yet tfcere is enough oil to keep this delicate cuticle soft. However, I have a formula for a cuticle cream which will be an enormous aid to the woman who does her own manicuring. If the nails are very bad, it can be rubbed in every night until they ar improved, otherwise it should be rubbed on the nails and allowed to stay on for about five minutes or so before the manicure. The nails can thfn be cleared of dead skin with a cuticle knife, the live cuticle pushed back and the worst part of the manicure is over One Who Has Tried It You have indeed had an unfortunate experience. There are skins wtv'ch are particularly s-usceptible and which will grow undesired hairs. Unfortunate'y, shaving JAPS CONS'DER JURIES (By Associated Press 1 TOKIO, Dec. 31.
