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

Chapter 86. . ... , ,. , WE HEAR FROM ESTHER. t After Francis left for I made him leave after a time I went out mechanically to the kitchen and began getting dinner for Violet and myself. There -was always that or some other task to . do. Physical work is probably one of our greatest blessings if we only knew it The mere act' of preparing a meal had been a comfort to me in times of sorrow, and a relief from " anxiety. " And now, in my great happiness, I went through the motions without thinking what I was doing. He had said "I love you" over and over, with the fervor of a young lover. And when I asked him why he loved me, he said "How could I help It? How could anybody help it? You are the most unsemsn uttie woman in tne worm. Oh no!" I protested quickly. "Oh yes," he insisted, and laughed. "I know a little of the life you led ( with your family. I mean a life of unappreciated work . Few women would have done even that." "Why yes, anyone would. After all, Jim was supporting me " "If you call it that," he said quietly. "I fancy you gave them much more than you got., Indeed, I don't have to be very clever to know that, for it's your disposition to give everything, turn." "I lived there " "It was pretty awful," I agreed. "But I knew nothing better then, so I suppose I didn't mind. And as for using the money for Violet and her college, that was, if anything, a selfish act of mine. Look what I got out of it!" "I would never have known you, otherwise." i "Francis!" I cried aghast. "Think how dreadful that would be! Not to have known you." And then I laughed and we both Heart Problems j Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am nineteen years af age and am deeply worried. I lost my mother some time ago and X X A V A 1 as i am me oiaesi i nave 10 Keep house for my father and five sisters. The youngest is five years of age. My father is harsh and cruel to me at times and has often told me to go and never come back, but the little children are so dear to me I cannot bear to leave them now. Some people tell me to go. Please advise me what to do. I don't get half the clothes other girls have and so some people tell me to leave home because of that. But as I am decent I do not care to have the people constantly running me down. I have a cousin and she is always talking about, me to my sister, who tells me the things back. I cry myself to sleep many nights and think some day I will see better times. I go to dances and am always in a nice, decent place, but my cousin always runs me down. I always go witb nice girls, - I am good to the children and every one. I have no boy friends. Will you please tell me a way that I can get some boy friends? I get lonesome at times and hardly know what to do. How can I entertain a boy when I am with one? WORRIED. It seems to me that you have a work before you which you cannot lpava Pnr fnur nr f. i-n voire: T - ' - " jwu. V . . I t . J I. Ill . - LUIUIX you should stay with the children. If your father remains hard to live with, you can go at that time with a clear conscience, passing on your work to pome other sister. Right now, however, your little sisters need loving care which a housekeeper would not give them. Clothes mean so much to a young girl that it seems a shame you cannot have more when you give so much of yourself to the home. I can see, however, that your father has quite a task providing for five girls. Perhaps in a year or two one of your sisters will be working, at which time she should pay board, and the money should go to you. It is no small sacrifice for a girl to give up her own interests in order to Keep nouse in a motherless home. Your sisters should be taught to help you In every way possible. Unless you give them their tasks, too, they will take advantage of you and expect you to overwork and sacrifice so that their lives will be easier. In regard to boys, be yourself and use your imagination. Most boys like : to be entertained and when they find a good talker who draws them out on subjects of interest to them they think she is wonderful. Read and observe so that you will be wide awake and intelligent as a conversationalist and as a listener. I cannot tell you how to pet boy friends. Such a matter can never be forced. If you are friendly and interesting they will just naturally like you and want to be with you. I believe your sister is wrong In telling you the unkind things your cousin says. Tell your sister that in the future you would rather remain ignorant of such things. OPEN NOSTRILS! END A COLD OR CATARRH How To Get Relief When Head and Nose are Stuffed Up. Count fifty!

laughed at this foolish talk. But he came over and took my bands and held them. "They never liked me, they thought I was queer," I said, thinking of our little town of Henly Falls. "Naturally, since they could not appreciate you." "You make me feel like a new person," I told him. Then, wanting to confide In him,' and tell him everything, I went on: "I thought it was my fault I wasn't like those other people. I never seemed to like what they liked; I never seemed to think the same way they did. So I was 'queer'." "Never mind," he answered. "That is, after all, the tragedy of a small town or a village. The number of people are so limited that there are fewer chances of finding the real comrades and friends, the people with sim ilar tastes unless of course you hap - pen to be cut more or less in the same pattern. Here at least there are enough people so you can be sure of finding those you like." ' "Or love," I added shyly, and raised his hand to my cheek. "Or love," he echoed, and put his arm around me.. I went over and over this in my mind, while I put on potatoes to boil, and inspected the milk left in the bottle in the miniature ice box, and decided on a dessert for our dinner. I brought out the china from the shelves in the little kitchen, and carried it in on our pretty black lacquer tray, and began setting the table in the living room. Once I stopped and looked out the EDNA KENT FORBES A BEAUTY EXERCISE. The two things that a woman most dreads as she nears middle life are wrinkles and the loss of her youthful figure. We talk about wrinkles, and the way to treat them, and the way to prevent them, quite often in this column. Today I would like to talk about retaining a youthful figure. Now this must positively be done by means of exercise. You may get sufficient healthy exercise through your work or your sports to retain the young lines of your figure, but if you do not and particularly if you have any tendency towards what we call a settled figure you will have to take &pecial exercises. Here is an excellent one for reducing the abdomen and giving slender supple lines: Stand in stocking feet or heelless shoes and without corsets on, and hold the hand straight up over the head; bend sw'ftiv "- floor with the tips of the fingers, keeping the knees straight. U -u a,., ..--i accustomed to exercise yon -will feel a j strain at the muscles back of the knee and you may not be able for many days to touch the floor with your finger tips. But if you will persist you will soon be able to do it. After a time you will not only be able to touch the floor with the finger tips, but with the knuckles of the clenched hands and finally with the palm of the open hands. The fact that certain muscles will be sore from doing this exercise only proves how badly you need It. This calls into play a great manymuscles not generally used and will really do wonders in keeping the figure young and elastic. It is this elasticity which 4 preserves the much desired lines of youth. PEGGY. You can make your eyelashes longer and thicker if you will begin your treatment by clipping them back and then rubbing them every night with a little vaseline or a little This will help keep you young, castor oil. Clip them once a month for three months, then let them grow. You need only clip off the ends and you should use a pair of curved manicure scissors with the points held away from the eyes. The best soap to use for the face Is pure castile. S. F. At the age of 19 you are rather young to think of marriage. The questions you ask are impossible for anyone to answer because every thing depends on the character of the man himself and no generality would hold eood It is quite possible for a man who likes to. go out a great deal to dinners and dances to be a loving and tender husband and it is also possible for a man who wants to stay in every night to be a perfect brute.

window, up the. cold,, bleak, little street.. . . . . Here I stood at the -closing of , one life, and the beginning of another. Against a great deal of , discouragement I had struggled up from an existence that , was - unspeakably unbearable, to this My eyes wandered around our little living room. The candles were lighted on the tiny mantle and threw a golden, flickering light over everything. The lamp with Its yellow shade illuminated the table, set with dainty doilies and our, attractive china. It was all very inexpensive, and perhaps not appealing to some people but a little heaven to Violet and myself. My thoughts flew on to this! And new I was going on to something better. A new life, a life so much more wonderful that I could not at the moment grasp it, was opening up before me. And what I had done, any woman could do. Every woman's destiny is in her own hands, if she has the courage to take it up. The opening of the door startled me out of my dream, and I realized suddenly that I was shamefully neglectling the dinner. I hurried to the kitchen to inspect the things that were cooking, and turned to look at VI, who was coming in. Her face had been white for days, and the blue shadows under her very blue eyes made her seem so delicate as to be almost unreal. "Tired?" I asked, trying to make my voice casual. "Yes," she said drearily. "I stayed late for some extra work. I think I will have a hot bath and put on a kimono and eat dinner that way." "Oh yes, here's a letter from mother," she said, coming to the kitchen, pulling out hairpins as she walked. She handed me the envelope and went back to undress, shaking down her fluff of golden hair. someone, you will know whether or not he will be a good husbacd. Special Notice.
