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

Chaptf-r 66. ANXIETY. 'Til shoulder a lot of this. I'm jrlad to see you back." Bud said, gathering up our belongings at least as many of them as he could ret into his arms. Very proud of my knowledge of how to get about and perhaps inclined to show off a bit I tipped the porter who helped us with our things through the gate. Bud's eyes lit up. and his sense of humor,, never far from the ' surface, showed itself. . "Remember last time?" he said. "Remember how polite and courtly yon thought all those men?" I smiled back at him. I did remember the helpless old lady who with beating heart walked with the countrified little girl through that gate before a year before. "Shall we take the car?" Bud said, as we reached the sidewalk. Something had happened that was -serious when Bud Pearsoll suggested 'a trolley! Bud was never inclined to come home from any party except in a taxicab, and now when a taxi was a matter of convenience, he was suggesting a trolley. "No, we will . have a cab," I said. He fairly ate up Violet with his eyes as we drove down to our apartment. And Vi, after the first moment of complete happiness in seeing him, and after the inquiries as to why he looked so badly questions which he evaded settled back in the cab. But she gave little excited cries as we passed familiar corners, and when we swung into the glare of lights from Broadway, she simply gave a long sigh of content, and put out her hand to touch Bud's. "I said you belonged to the city, Helen laughed. "Look at Enid ! She's peering out of the window so she won't miss a single electric sign." "If you'd been burned on a farm all summer ' Vi began. "Yet the sun which sets so conveniently right in front of your house, has more colors and lots more candle power than all the signs you can imagine," Helen teased. "All right," Vi laughed. "But I've had the sunsets a great many years, ' and now I want to see the artificial signs." Our little flat did look cosy to us when we got into it again. "I shan't rest until I unpack all the candlesticks and prints and get out the lustre salad bowl," I said. They laughed at me, but in sympathy with me, for we were all glad to get back to get home again. I simply would not think that this little paradise might only last a few months more and then "You can bet I am glad to have you back,"Bud said. "So glad I moved again, this time to a rooming house around the corner." Violet looked at him and smiled that wonderful smile of hers which promised so much, and yet withheld sp much. Helen and I glanced at each other. And we understood. "There's tea in the cannister in ithe kitchen. Helen said. "And sugar loo. You go out and make some tea, Enid, and I will run down the street and bring in some buttered rolls or sandwiches and some cream for the tea. ' But the two did not know we left them alone. They were already alone in a world composed entirely of them

selves. It was a place not even I could enter and I did not want to. But out in the little kitchen I could not help but hear, try as I might not to do so. "Now, what is it?" Vi said gently. "I've been crazy with worry, Bud, dear. You would not tell me in your letter, and you did not answer the last one I sent you." "I hate to write bad news." "Then teli me now," "No, not now, "Bud answered. "Tomorrow." There. I thought, was the keynote to Bud Pearsoll's character the greatest fault he had was that of procrastination. He wanted to put off until some other time the disagreeable thing or the difficult thing, the day of

reckoning might come but he wanted always to push it a little further ahead. But Vi was a little more practical minded than this. "You look badly," she began, attacking the subect from another angle, woman fashion. "Oh, I've been ill. Not much, and it's all over. And I haven't slept heat, you know." "That's not so. Heat never bothers you. Pleaso tell me the truth. Bud." "Tomorrow," Bud pleaded. "I'll tell you all about it tomorrow. Please, Vi, dear, I'm so glad to see you now I don't want to think about anything else. Vi, I have wanted you so much!'.' And "then there was a little silence. Tea tray in hand, I waited. I did not want to go in Just yet. And my eyes were a little .moist, perhaps. "If if I gt into any trouble, will you believe in me?" he asked.

Ohio Village Officials Go Without Pay Three Years (By Associated Press) . FINDLAY, O., Jan. 3. For three yeare, officials of Mt. Blanchard, one of Hancock county's villages, have worked without a cent of pay. The mayor has gone about his executive duties, the marshal hunted down criminals, when there were any to hunt down, the city solicitor has kept his nose between the pages of his law books in the interest of the village, and the councilmen have passed and discussed ordinances, and none have drawn a penny of compensation for three years. They are doing it voluntarily, for the good of the village, so that all residents might have electric lights and good water. In 1917, it developed that it was either a case of insufficient funds to handle bond and interest payments for the two public utilities into which the village had entered, or no pay for its officials. "Put it all into the sinking fund, and we'll donate our services, Clerk Samuel Callon told County Auditor J. Robert Hanrahan.

EDNA A KENT FORBES

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it proDer to write to a boy if he asks you to? Is it the girl's place to write first after she consents to a correspondence? Now, nro girls as bad as some pessimists put It? I think most boys respect girls who respect themselves and I also believe that a boy's manners rely partly on the girl's conduct. Io you think I am right in mv ludgment? CONNIE. It is the boy's place to write first. Sometimes, however, the agreement I:np!ies that tbe girl will write first. Cfirls cannot be classified as had. Many are not what they should be. while others are sweet and good. When the older generation criticises the girls and boys of today, I often k think that the mothers and fathers in the older generation should take their share in the blama. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girl friends, knowing each other for a

length of time. We have always i

tnougnt a great deal of each other and do yet. It seems as if we are going to be . parted through one sirl. She is trying -to break our friendship, telling each of us what the other says about us, and she tells things which are not true. She also tells our boy friends different things that we say about them, and of course they ask if we did say them. We deny, but they are acting indifferently toward us lately. What would you advise us to do? Should we stop going with her. or what? r PALS.

If the girl does all that you say she

IF YOU AREN'T PRETTY I receive a surprising number of letters from girls and women who insist that they are not pretty, that they never were pretty, that nothing in the world would make them pretty. Then they ask me to make them pretty! Of course I am ready to admit there are some cases which might seem hopeless, but I have never yet believed that a woman that any woman could be hopelessly homely unless she had a hopeless homely disposition which she did not intend to change. Nothing can be done to the ill-natured face until the disposition that made it ugly has undergone reconstruction. There are lots of perfectly nice girls who have, unfortunately, inherited bad noses and ugly chins and nondescript hair and small eyes, who look at themselves in the mirror and say, "there is nothing here even to begin improving." -Of course, that isn't quite so. Any woman can have a marvelous complexion; it is a matter of moderately good health, good digestion, and obedience to a few simple hygienic laws. The hair will always improve somewhat if cared for properly; and pretty nails, which are the result oX care, will redeem the homeliest hands. But I can say this to the women who feel that they have been cheated of their birthright or beauty If you aren't pretty , you 'can at least be smart. A homely woman who dresses beautifully is always the envy of the beautiful woman who dresses badly. It is a part of our feminine vanity it may be a shame but, nevertheless, there it. is. I would not write this if "smartness" depended upon money, for a great many readers must manage on very small incomes. The rich woman may be well dressed, because she goes only to places that deal in smart fashions, but the poorer woman can look almost

as smart with a little ingenuity, me cheapest gingham can be made up as distinctively as the most, expensive material. And swagger lines, which, after all, are what, one pays for in an expensive establishment, can be achieved by the home-dressmaker if she will work and study and try. "Smartness" consists often in little things. Learn to dress your hair fash

ionably; if necessary even learn to marcel it. Learn to walk gracefully, ;

for poise has a great deal to do with "smartness." Iearn to keep everything about yourself and your wardrobe at a perfection of neatness. Then, even if you have a iarge nose and a small chin, you will have attained something that many beautiful would give a great deal to be able to acquire. All lnauirles 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, awing 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.

American Legion

TTJCUMCARI, N. M., Jan. 3. Protest at the pardoning by the governor of New Mexico of 16 Villista bandits, who have been serving penitentiary sentences in connection with the raid on Columbus, N. M., by the bandit cheiftain, was expressed in a recent resolution of the Quay County Post of the American Legion here. "We regret that the governor has taken this action In regard to these self-confessed murderers who are guilty of attacking and burning a defenseless town in our own state," the resolution states "and of killing American soldiers and civilians, both men and women." . "We indignantly protest against the action of the governor and request that these pardons be not effective."

PROFIT OF S716.78 IN 1920 CHAUTAUQUA

Officers of the 1920 Chautauqua assembly have filed their report for the year, showing a net profit of $716.78 This profit does not include the $300 which was paid for the rent of the grounds, which was included in the statement of the net profit for last year. To make this report on the same basis as that of 1919. the net profit would have been $1,016.78. instead of $716.78. The report follows: Balance on hand last report $376.40; Received interest on Certificates of Deposit, $84; Paid subscriptions to Lyceum Magazine, $6; Balance on hand at beginning of 1920 season, $454.40.

HOOVER SAID

should be filled by a man of the highest eminence in the land. That Daugherty is not eminent in the law is a simple matter of fact. If Harding were choosing his attorney general on the same basis that he has already chosen Hughes for secretary of state and Dawes for secretary of the

treasury, he would 'not choose Daugherty. It can be taken for granted that Harding's overwhelming wish is to fill all his posts with men as exceptional as Hughes and Dawes. If he appoints Daugherty, it will be a yielding on his part to personal and political considerations. Oppose Daugherty. So far as that goes, a majority of the more substantial leaders in the Republican party prefer that Daugherty should not be appointed, and look forward to it with apprehension. They hesitate, however, to lay their arguments before Harding because of what is assumed to be the personal relation between Harding and Daugherty.. If Daugherty is not made attorney general, the probabilities run in favor of Ex-senator George Sutherland, of Utah. That would be an appointment of the highest class. Sutherland as attorney-general would be in the same class with Hughes as secretary of state. Further than what has already been said, there are three men likely to be put' in the cabinet. They are ex-Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican national committee, and A. T. Hert of Kentucky. Practically all three of these are certain. So far as there is any difference among them, the most certain is ex-Senator Weeks, robably for secretary of the navy. In the later switching of pegs. Weeks might finally turn up as secretary of war. As to the other two, Harding would undoubtedly like to have them in his cabinet, and their position as Republican leaders entitles them to the

strongest kind of political consideration. As to these two, Hert is said to want the department of commerce, but the fact is he is the more likely to be considered Mr postmaster general. Postmaster general is also the most obvious office for Will Hays. Of these two men, Hert probably is more eager for a cabinet position than Will Hays. Hert Is a rich man, of 56, with

a completed business career behind him. Will Hays is a poor man and a young man of 41,- with his career ahead of him. Hays, because of his known achievements as an organizer, might be considered for secretary of commerce. In Harding's mind, essential qualification of the man chosen for secretary of commerce will be that he must be especially approved by Hughes as secre

tary of state. It is Harding's intention that the secretary of state and the secretary of commerce shall work strongly hand in hand for the extension of our commerce abroad. In fact, one suggestion is that here

after our foreign consuls snau De chosen Jointly by the secretary of state and the secretary of commerce. (Copyright. 1921, by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)
