A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Wpman'i Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

STRANGE HAPPENINGS Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. At 35 Aunt -Enid Haines looks 50, and is considered by her family and the village to be a hopeless old maid. The family consists of a critical sister-in-law, Esther; Jim, Enid's brother, and three prown children, Laura, James and Violet. Enid is taken from ihis hopeless rut by Violet, who wants to go to college. Enid gives her her own little legacy and they go to the city together. There they aake to the possibilities of life Enid begins to make herself young again and pretty, Vi matures into a charming young woman. Vi is in love with Bud Pearsoll, of whom her family disapproves; Enid falls in love with Francis Meade, Bud's employer. Bud fall3 in with a crowd of unscrupulous men, and when he is robbed of some money he was carrying for his firm, everyone believes him guilty of theft. Enid and Francis become engaged, and try to help Bud when the hearing of his case comes up. Vi is heartbroken. Chapter 91 "But it's Christmas night." I said, when Francis and I were once more in the motor, on the way to Bud's trial. "I thought all this thing was off for this one day at least." "Ordinarily I suppose it would be," Francis answered. "But, you see, there are all sorts of odd circumstances about this. There's so much money in the financial district of the city, that nil sorts of special precautions are taken to guard it. In fact, it is supposed to be so well looked after, that robberies below a certain line of the city, sometimes called a 'dead line, have been almost unheard of. "However, some very clever people ately have been trying a new plan. Vaults and safes amd such things are too difficult to do anything with and the chances of detection are too great. So they got up a plan which is simpler, far more, daring, but more likely to succeed because of its very daring." "It pounds like .. melodrama," I commented, watching the quiet streets and the light snow falling, as we ran down through the business district. "It is, in many ways," he answered. "This gang, or its head, is playing upon one thing weaker than a bolted vault." "What is that?" "Human nature or cprtaiu types of it." "Bud has explained to me some of the system of taking the actual money around," I said. "That is. the messengers from the different brokerage houses carry large amounts of money and bonds and stock and things like

that," I went on vaguely, "In big wallets strapped around their waists." "Usually," , Francis said. "Somelimes they carry the wallets slung over one shoulder, or even carry papers and money in their pockets. These boys come highly recommended, and we usually watch them in the office. After all, we all have to use our judgment in trusting them, as we must all of us use our judgment in trusting anyone. The very size of the sums they carry, is a lrbtection for the firms it's almost impossible to get away with anything." ' "But one man, or group of men, gets hold of some of these boys, and forces them to hand over money or has their cooperation in the robbery: "If the boy is knocked over and hurt, he is apparently quite innocent. And if he is. he doesn't know who has done it; if he isn't, all he has to do is to keep his mouth shut and not let on he knows. There's no proof he is in

league with anyone else on the surface." "But there's always a weak point somewhere." I argued. "Usually," he said. "Criminals are rarely supremely clever. When they are, they can make as much money with less risk in some more open profession. Still, some of them like to do it this "way the Jesse James spirit in a less romantic setting. I smiled, thinking over all he said. "But about Bud," I began. "Do you think he is guilty?" I looked up at him. We had been sitting in the car, my shoulder touching his arm, my hand sometimes in his. Whatever answer I expected to my question, I was sure would be given sympathetically I was sure he would lean towards me as he had before when he talked. Instead of which, he straightened a little. I felt him draw away ever so slightly, and while I looked at him, his face hardened again. I knew then that, when I brought the talk down to the case immediately before him the problem in hand that he was now to deal with I put myself at once in a secondary place. Indeed, I would never occupy all this man's interests. Most men are like that only in moments of relaxation the wife or sweetheart first. At other times, it is business, perhaps even, some form of sport. And that is the one thing a woman cannot understand often cannot forgive. For to her the man is always first, above every other interest, if she loves him at all. But I was too much in love, and too grateful for the youth given back to me, and the love granted to me, to mind. "I told you I did not know whether

Bud did this or not," Francis answered. "But I am afraid, at the moment, that I think he did. Everything points that way. Do you believe it?" "No, I can't, knowing Bud himself so well," I answered. "And Vi does not think so either." "Of course, you are both, quite naturally, prejudiced in his favor." "And of course, you are losing money lots of it, over this affair," I answered, anxious to justify him. "I'm insured against some of the loss," he answered. "The expense of fighting for Bud, the lawyer, and so

forth, are mine, but I'm glad to spend them to prove him innocent. I hope he isI'd like to think so." "But this hearing tonight ?" "A special affair, called because they've gotten new evidence. The newspapers are after the police about It, and they want to work quickly and find out the gang back, of the thefts. However, here we are." ' The care drew up before a large brick building, dark and, I . thought, very cold and gloomy in appearance. Tomorrow More Happenings

ANNOYING NAILS

Finger nails are such small things and yet they are so curiously sensitive that a rough bit of skin pulled oft hastily will start a sore that will be annoying for weeks. Perhaps it's their very smallness, and their apparent insignificance, that causes them to be so much neglected in retaliation for which they will develop all sorts of troubles. They do not need much care and it does not take much time to keep them in condition. , But the care must be intelligent, or the time will not be well spent. And the first thing to remember is that the nails, like every other part of the body, sometimes require to be fed.

We all know the sad story told by

any pair of old, work-worn hands the blunted finger tips, enlarged knuckles, marked, misshapen nails. There is something unusually pathetic about hands that have labored too hard. But there's the other story, too the woman or girl who does not have to do more than the average amount of labor, who simply doesn't know how to look after her nails. Here are some simple directions: Give them a minue's care a day, rather than an hour once . in two weeks. Scrub them with soap and water; clean with the tip of the file, dipped in a bottle of lemon juice if there are any stains on the fingers; shape every other day with a piece of pumice board 40 seconds time this takes; above all, push back the cuticle daily with an orange wood stick this gives that clean edge every woman so desires to see. And rub the nails with cream every day if they are dry, every few days otherwise. If you want the cuticle cream, which is healing and astringent and saves many hours manicuring, send to me for the formula of it. I know its value and will be glad to send it.

Marie M. A positive cure for nits in the hair is to soak the head in kerosene oil and tie up over night. Sham-

Cut the cuticle when necessary poo next day. By this time all the active vermin will be dead. But the eggs will still be there, since these are fastened to the hair by a curious sort of mucilage, and they will hatch if they are not removed. To do this, soak the head in vinegar immediately after the shampoo, then go over the scalp with a fine tooth comb dipped in vinegar. Usually one such treatment is enough; if not, a second one will certainly take away all trace of these unpleasant pests. Alt Inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes In care of the "Beauty Chats"
