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

Chapter 72. A NEW FRIEND. , ' Bud had a taxi waiting for us . at the door, and Vi looked at him reproachfully. "Now, don't say anything about the extravagance." he protested, in answer to her look. "We are all dressed up, and we'd look funny in a trolley." VI sat back without saying anything, but the boy still seemed to want to justify himself. "Anyway, I took a little flier today. Just because it was going to be such a nice party tonight." "Bud! You promised you wouldn't." "I know but I didn't risk much and I made a little about $50." "That's a lot." "Well, not much. I win be rich yet." "You will lose It all some day." "Now don't spoil the evening " There was exasperation fn his tones. Vi put her hand out and touched his arm, and Bud subsided at once. Vi had this divine knack of soothing irritation, and of never quarreling. "VI would make an ideal wife for any man," I reflected. She never nagged the ruin of any marriage she never quarreled in the ordinary sense of that word, though she had temper enough to keep her from being insipid. When she felt her way was best, she usually had it but by tactful means. Bud rarely knew when he was being "bossed." We were in good spirits when w arrived at the hotel where Francis Meade had hired a ballroom. Both of ua grew a little excited as we went in. There were little thrills of music where the orchestra was tuning up, and there was a rustle of silk as other women passed us, and in the dressing room two pretty maids waited to take oar cloaks and to give, us powder and pins. "Bud looks awfully handsome in that dress suit," Vi whispered, as we sa-.v him coming toward us. The Three of us went in togeher this entrance into a brilliantly lit ball room never lost its thrill for me. I was conscious of many women, some exquisitely gowned, some cheaply and flashily dressed the "best girls" of the clerks and office boys, perhaps. Two men stood by the door I felt my cheeks go red again as we went toward them. Once more I was face to face with Francis Meade. "You needn't introduce me," Mr. Meade was saying to Bud. "This is the pretty little Miss Haines I, met in the Village last spring." He turned to me, his eyes blank. I knew it how would he ever remember so insignificant a person as myself? My heart sank for an instant. Then "But you aren't the aunt Miss Haines Enid Haines, wasn't it? I confess I wasn't sure for a moment

you look too young to be even the aunt ' of this grown-up young lady." He turned to Violet with that warm and "lovely smile of his that smile that so softened and transformed his face. "And now," he went on, "I want you to wait till I greet these people you remember my partner, don't you?" We turned to the other man, as he turned away. Presently he came, to us again. "Now I want you to come with me to meet Mrs. Meade. George you dance with this little lady, and come for Miss Haines at the other end of the room. " Mrs. Meade! So he was married. Of course. Why hadn't I ' known that? Had Bud told me he was a bachelor or was it in his manner? Why had I thought so ? And why should my heart so suddenly tighten up? How foolish I was. I forced myself for it was an effort to look up into his eyes. "I should like to meet your wife," I said. He smiled down at me he was

quite tall that gracious smile that never lost its effect upon me. How warm and dark his eyes were! For the moment I did not know whether they were gray or brown. How splendid he was really the only man I ever saw who made me want to look at him the second time. Like all tall men, his dress suit made him look the handsomer. "I have no wife. I mean my mother." "Oh," I answered stupidly, the red coming again to my face. How silly I was, I felt, standing there blushing like a school girl! Esther was right there's no fool like an old fool, and

I was that. Nevertheless, when I was presented to the charming old lady of 65, I managed to acquit myself fairly well. The softer, smoother manners I had been consciously practicing were evidently

enough a part of me to stand by me when I was flustered and needed them most. "I hope you will come and talk to me between dances,"- she was saying. "We old people are put here where we can watch." . 'But I shall be sitting here with you," X began. , "Indeed you shall not," Francis Meade laughed. "You shall dance with the other young people. If you are an aunt, you , don't look . like one. Come, they are beginning a waltz." How glad I was then that I bad learned to dance!' Half bewildered, I followed him to the floor. . He put his arm around me and then somehow. I never knew how, we were mingling with the rest of the dancers, in perfect rytbm with the music, in perfect step with each other. This was not I this woman with the beating heart and the flushed cheeks! Tomorrow His Suspicions.

Heart Problems j

Dear Mrs. Thompson : I am a young girl 19 years old and I never have a steady fellow. I am not what you call pretty, but am not bad looking, and act very nice around the men. When I do go with a goodlooking fellow they never go with me but once and that is the last. They tell men they like these fast girls the best and will not go with me steadily because I am not fast and they never expect for that kind to marry. The boys I would like to go with are the

ones that don't care for me, -and those who care for me I don't like. Please tell me' what to do. Who should speak first when they meet, the fellow or the girt? Is it proper. for a girl to invite a young man back when be don't say any thing aboua returning? Will a young man think less of a girl that will stay up late with him? What do you think of a fellow when the girl tells him she isn't allowed to sit up late and he don't go until he gets ready? ANXIOUS. I think you are very foolish to be worrying yourself about fellows you may or may not go with. Do you work some place? If you do, cultivate the friendship - of those with whom you work; then they in turn will introduce you to other young people. This way you will have the opportunity to gain entrance into a decent class of society. Providing ycu do nor. work any place. I would advi&e that you obtain some position as soon as possible. The time spent in honest industry will give you less time to worry about insignificant and petty trivalties. The girl should Fpeak first. It is proper to invite a gentleman friend to return. It is all right to be up somewhat late with a young man providing you are attending a social function with others. Otherwise you should not. In answer to your last question, I would say thai the fellow referred to was not a gentleman. He should not be invited to return.

A Nervous Woman

Frankfort, Ind. "When living in Kirkersville, Ohio, I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I was always complaining. Nervousness troubled me, caused. I think, by woman's weakness.
