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

Chapter 74. WHEN BUD CAME. , We were restineu not to go on very much longer in our quiet and uneventful way of living. But for awhile there was peace the peace that goes before the storm. "I don't understand why Bud doesn't come so much," VI confided one evening. It was getting quite chilly out of doors now. and our little living room with its low shaded lamp, looked very warm and cozy. There was one thought, of course, that was always in her mind. It was that Bud might tire of her. or that he might find someone else more attractive. But she rarely spoke of this. Tonight Toby Markham came in, and later Helen joined us. The four of us sat about the little antique table in the living room, playing bridge; I was learning this, too, as well as dancing. And the science of this highly complicated game interested me intensely. We were busily playing when the bell rang and Bud came in. "I'm awfully late, it's 10 o'clock," he apologized. "But I saw lights in the window, and risked it" He gave Toby a not particularly friendly glance, as we went on with implish, delightful grin at her. Toby and VI won the rubber, and Toby put his hand over the table to shake hands at their victory. He held Vi's hand an instant too long, grinning his impish, delightful grin at her. Toby was one of the merriest souls in that part of the city. Helen glanced from this little tableaux to Bud with the most amused expression. Tlien she looked at me to see whether I alo had noticed it Bud certainly looked gloomy enough;, he looked, as a matter of fact, tired to death, and the sight of Toby holding Vi's hand, even for a second, brought a scowl to his face. "Shall we make some hot coffee?" he asked. "I'm all in." Vi rose at once always glad when she could do something to please Bud. But Helen had other plans. "I was Just going to suggest it," she announced. I brought over some cold chicken from the restaurant, it's all cut up. We will have some chicken salad. Take Toby along he makes such nice dressing for salads."

j Heart Problems

. - ' "I AM CONSIDERED GOOD-LOOKING" is probably the most aggravating and disgusting expression found in my column. It does not convey a picture of an attractive girl in the least degree. Instead one pictures a silly girl who hasn't sense enough to realize her own limitations. If I printed the statement as often as it occurs in the letters sent to me my readers would become so -bored with the column th?t they would resolve never to look at it again. Very often I print the expression because it carries with it the character of the girl and softens the reader's attitude toward my more or less brutal answer. It is a fail'ng of human naturs to sympathize with oneself. Fortunately plain people rarely realize how plain they are. They love flattery and glorify their own imperfections. When a girl writes a letter without trying to impress upon the readers the fact that she is "good-looking." she seems far more beautiful than the girl who has so little delicacy that she advertises her vanity. In a personal letter to me, a young woman stated that she realized when she was about fourteen years old that she had not one feature which could be called beautiful. Even her nature was sullen and irritable. She was so discouraged with herself that she wanted to die. Then an encouraging thought came to her: she resolved to be kind and sweet. At first it was hard, but out of desperation she conquered herself and learned to close her lips tight when she was angry and to sing when she was sullen. The woman's letter was not all about herself. She was writing to see how far I thought it would be advisable for her to help a poverty-stricken family When I finished reading the letter, I felt that I had come in touch with a beautiful and charming personality. It seemed a pity that I could not make her letter public so that others could feel her charm.

So she manoeuvered it so that Toby and Vi , were alone in the kitchen. Bud, still displeased, lay down on the couch, and made no pretense of talking with us. He lingered after the others had left and I excused myself and went into the bedroom, shutting the door. , But parts of - their talk came to me even so, for the city was quiet and there was no sound in our house. - ' "Are you crazy over that chap?" I heard him ask. Vi for once had a little reserve. "Why?" WTas all she asked. "He's crazy about you. I don't wonder, there's half a dozen of them around here would be in love with you, if you didn't hold them ten miles off. "I am glad you do," he went on, a little later. "Otherwise I might have no chance at all. Lord knows I'm not

much , , but at least I'm. as good as j

they are." "What do you mean?" VI asked. "I mean oh, I'm crazy tonight. I guess I'm plain jealous of that Markham chap. But he would not be much better than I. He's sober and plodding and all that sort of thing " "Bud!" Vi cried, and laughed a little. "What are you talking about? What has poor Toby's plodding qualities to do with anything?" "Well, they say that sort makes good husbands," Bud said, hesitating a little. "But I don't want " Vi began. "Vi, I 'm crazy 'about you!" It came out suddenly, like that, in the middle of her sentence. And though we knew Bud was in love with her, and though she knew it too, in spite of frequent doubts when Bud did not come for days at a time still, when he said it it left her a little breathless. "Bud, dear," she began, her voice so low I could scarcely hear it. There was all the pleading in the world in his tones all the weakness and all the strength of a man. It was the irresistible plea. A woman may deny every other sort of love in a man, but she cannot resist that "I need you." It appeals to her not only as a woman, but as a mother, and in every woman the maternal' instinct is strong. Vi did not want to resist.

And then there was a little silence,

the sound of a chair being moved, and

silence again But it was a quiet that

fairly vibrated. I tried not to hear what they said, but in our tiny apartment it was almost impossible not to. I was in bed by this time, and I turned to the wall and pulled the covers over my ears.

But even so I heard the girl's low,

trembling little laugh. And the mur mur of the boy's voice, and occasionally a word of endearment.

"Are you going to' marry me?" he

asked onoe.

"Do you think I could ever marry

anyone else?" Vi asked gently. So it was settled definitely! I felt suddenly, as though a groat calamity as well as a great joy, had taken place. I knew well enough that Vi would never marry anyone else. She had been in love'with Bud Pearsoll for several years, from their early high

school days, and there would never

have been another man for her. She was of that type. And she was now promised to him. But would he make her happy? Was it a wise thing after all? I was to find that out later. Tomorrow My Caller.

ARE PRETTY GIRLS SERIOUS? ' Are pretty girls serious ':. Vhat do you think? Every once in a while a discussion comes up among my readers and some of them seem to treat the question as though it were of great Importance. Strangely enough, the question never interests the pretty girl or the homely girl, but mostly the man who is an admirer of beauty but who seems to suspect the beautiful woman of frivolity. "What do I think?" one young man wrote me yesterday. Frankly I don't know. There is no reason why the pretty girl shouldn't be as sensible, as practical and as serious minded, as the one who is not blessed with so much personal attraction. I do think that most of the training given to pretty girls is not of a sort to make them serious. They are apt to be spoiled when they are babies and too much admired when they are children. They are ted upon compliments and often given too much flattering attention at an age when they are susceptible to such things. Since the homely girl rarely gets so much attention, she has much more time to give to serious pursuits. Yet

! have known many pretty girls whoj

were serious ana practical enougn to satisfy the most severe critic. And I have known a great many girls without an element of personal attraction or charm who were inerdinately conceited. So there is the problem (if it is a problem) as I see it. Every reader will base his or her judgment upon his or her own experience. I would rather like to think that pretty girls could be serious if they chose, for prettiness is apt to fade while the more 6erious qualities of life are always an asset. But, after all, if a girl is pretty enough she is such an ornament to Pretty- girls are usually as seriousminded as homely ones, the world that she fulfills her whole mission simply by being pretty, and

adding to the beauty and joy of life.'

I do not think it is a very grave problem. Do you? MISS C. S. Personally I approve very much of hair or scalp massage with, the electric vibrator. It is also good for stimulating the complexionWhen used on the skin it should be done very gently so as not to bruise the tissue, except in the' case of a double chin when a slightly more vigorous vibration will break up the flabby fleshiness. You can take as many as three yeast cakes a day and put them in capsules if you want; but as they don't taste badly it is really quite simple to dissolve one cake at a time in water, and swallow it quickly. B. M. G s your hair is in very

bad condition, I would advise you if possible to see a scalp specialist. - All inquiries addressed t4 Mis Forbes in care of the "Beauty Chata" department will be answered ir. these columns In their turn.
