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

A LOVE STORY. Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. When Enid Is 35, she wakes to the fact that she is a homely old maid, considered hopeless by her family. She lives with her brohter Jim., his wife, Esther, the grown children, Laura, James and Violet. Only Violet believes in her. Vi's desire to go to the city to college starts the reformation. Enid draws all her money and they go to New York. Here they both awake to the possibilities of living; Enid begins to grow young and pretty; VI, though unhappily in love with Bud Pearsoll, revelops into a charming girl. Enid's one sweetheart, who has jilted her in her youth, suddenly wants to marry her, but she refuses partyq because she has met and fallen in love with Francis Meade, Bud's employer. Under the stimulation of this, she grows younger in looks and more charming in manner. Meade has some suspicions about Bud's honesty, for the boy has been going around with a wild crowd of men, spending lots of money. Enid comes home to find VI in tears. Bud has been robed of a wallet containing money and valuable papers, and suspicon points to him as part of an organized gang. Chapter 85. One afternoon, a day or so after all these things happened, Frances Meade come for me in his car. "Thought we might run out into the country somewhere, and get back for a late dinner," he suggested. "I'd like to only " "Only what?" "You see, I'd leave Violet alone then and abe's feling so much upset " "Of course, but nothing can be done for a day or two. The police are carrying on an investigation, and George is under bond to appear when they want him. Meantime, I'm keeping him on my payroll, but told him not to come down to the office until this thing blows over." "You're so good!" I burst out suddenly. "You have done so much for Bud, and now, when I am sure you think he is guilty, you go on protecting him." "I'm not good!" There was .almost a trace of impatience in his voice. "I wish you wouldn"t say it. When a woman like you calls me good it well, it makes me conscious of all my shortcomings." "But. why not?" I stood in the middle of the room looking at him, puzzled. "Bud says " "Never mind what Bud says," he broke in suddenly. "Tell me why you think I am so 'good.' as you call it." "Because of Bud," I began. "George does his office work very well, so keeping .him on his present job is not goodness but efficiency," he said. "He is bright, energetic, ambitious and it is easy to see that your little niece is in love with him, so her future is bound up with his. But that has nothing to do with me I belie ve I'd do any thing to Jiave you well, like me, " - "But I do!" my voice was not quite under control as I said this. And I could not trust myself to say any more. Probably every woman knows by intuition when the man is going to Heart Problems - Dt f Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl twenty-two years old and in love with a man the same age. Several months ago I felt as if I were tired of him and quit him. He called me on the phone to see what was the matter, but I would not talk to him. He told several girl friends of mine that his life was miserable without me and he wanted to come back. Now I have realized how much I did love him. I want hira back, but I don't want him to know it. I am afraid he would care less for me if I let him know. Please advise me what to do. N. M. C. Be pleasant when you meet the young man. He may feel encouraged and ask to see you again. If he does not, however, you will have to let him go. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think it is all right for a high school boy of sixteen to go to a movie with a girl of the same age? Who should go into the theater first, the boy or girl? In getting on and off a street car, who should go first? R. W. It would be all right to go to a matinee. The girl should bo allowed to go first as the usher finds the seats. The girl gets into the street car first, and the boy gets out first in order to assist the girl to alight. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a friend whom I think a lot of. He heems to like me and wants me to marry him. The only objection I can f nd is he has had a growth removed from his neck, but it seems to be growing back. Some people say it is a cancer. What would you advise me to do? A FRIEND. To marry a man who lias cancer of the throat would be entirely wrong. If, however, the growth is not of a serious nature, I do not think it should stand in the way of marriage. Find out definitely about the nature of the disturbance and dcid accordingly.

tell her he loves her. I knew now, in a flash, what Francis Meade was going to say. And when he said it, it was all so much like the working out of a dream, that I scarcely believed it, even while I heard his voice. "Do you like me?" he asked quietly. "Could you love me?" "Love you?" I heard my own voice repeating. "How could I help but love you? You have been so fine to us and, oh, Francis, you are so wonderful!" It simply came out of me like that And when I stopped speaking, I looked

up at him half frightened. "Wonder- j iui i naa called mm ana ne was but I wondered how I had dared to tell him so. "Enid dear dear Enid," he said. And then his arms were around me suddenly, the whole world beyond the circle of his arms was lost, and there was only the two of us and a great radiant light that seemed to be over everything. ','Do you know," he said," I almost did this the other day? But I lost my courage. Enid, do you love me? I : want to hear you say so. I tried to tell him how much, but I could not. All I could say in a weak little voice that must have been muffled by his big overcoat, was "Yes, I do love you. But that seemed enough. And after all, words are sometimes unnecessary! I wonder whether I can really tell all that followed. I remember every i word, every look, and even now I find myself going back over that scene and calling up every detail of it. Yet there are things that are hard to tell. For he kissed me then, and how can I tell about that? It was the first kiss of love since ah well, really the first in all my life. For fifteen years ago when Mark kissed me and said he loved me, it was different. It was nothing. I only thought I was in love then. And I had been in love with love, not 'with Mark. And certainly Mark had not been in love with me. But now This was a rebirth. Or, rather, it was the supreme moment of the gradual process of being born over which I had been going through during the last year and a half. For it was not the first careless caress of youth it was something infinitely sweet and wonderful, this first kiss, something dreamed of, hoped for and all the more marvelous because it was so long despaired of. From that moment I was different. I remember that I clung to him a little, and then stood away a little to look up at him his graying hair, his gray eyes, with spots and flecks of brown, the handsome nose and the mouth that was now so tender. He was even handsomer than usual, in his great fur-lined overcoat with the sable collar that rolled high around his neck. "But I don't see why you shouud love me," I said finally. "You are so good looking and nice and well, I should think "lots " of women would fall in love with you." He laughed at that, and I smiled in answer to his laugh. Then I went onThere as so many women who are young and pretty and charming, and ail the things I am not No wait, please " because he made a motion to stop me speaking "I know what I am. At home they called me a hopeless old maid. They said I was getting aged and was homely and no one would look at me. My sister, Esther thinks I'm a fool and I was, perhaps. I know I'm better now but I haven't those other qualities I am not young, for instance. I am 30 " Never mind," he broke in. "Whatever age you are, you are the sweeter for it. Perhaps youtJa is desirable, but youth is sometimes shallow. You have a depth and a maturity and Enid, dear, you don't look like anything but a young child, and I shall patronize you awully." He fairly swept me into his arms, And it was not for some time that we realized we had intended starting for a drive. But we did not go out on that particular ride. Tommorrow We Hear from Esther.

BEAUTY SPECIALIST TELLS SECRET A Beauty Specialist Gives Home-Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair. Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known beauty specialist of Kansas City, recently gave out the following statement regarding gray hair: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and ' ounces of glycerine. These ingredients can be purchased at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off." Advertisement

NICHOLSON OPPOSES CENTRALIZED BOARD Timothy Nicholson, who has opposed the creation of a central board of control to manage the 19 benevolent and correctional institutions of Indiana ever since the movement was first launched, expressed his disapproval today of an effort to resurrect the plan. When Governor Ralston was induced to espouse the theory of a centralized board of control a number of years ago, Mr. Nicholson was one of the staunchest opponents of the measure. In a statement given to the ress Tuesaay, Mr. Nicholson says: "Permit me to call attention to an editorial in yesterday's Indianapolis News upon "Our State Institutions." "Evidently an effort is being made to get Gov. McCray to recommend a central board of control to manage the! 19 benevolent and correctional institutions, as was advocated five years ago by Gov. Ralston, when I felt it my duty to prepare a pamphlet, chiefly a compilation from the utterances and writ ings of the most distinguished experts upon the management of state institu-' tions, to defeat Gov. Ralston's efforts. The editorial reference is in opposition to such a board of control. "Verv respectfully, "TIMOTHY NICHOLSON." Adam Rice Funeral is Held at Lewisburg, Sunday GREENVILLE, Jan. 25.
