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

Chapter 100. I GO BACK. "I mean this," I answered, leaning forward eagerly. "Yon say you never had a chance. You say if you had things might have been different. You say that you never spent Jim's money for nice clothes, or for hired help, so you could have time to make yourself look pretty and rest to keep yourself young." "That's about it." Esther answered, deep virture in her tones. "Did Jim have the mony enough for such little things as new clothes once in a while and a servant in the b isv season?" t "Yes, he used to want me to have one, and he liked me in new clothes I remember when we were first married how he liked to see me in ruffled dresses, specially pink ones. Jim loved pink." "Then why didn't you have a lot of them?" "I didn't like to spend the money. After all, most any sort of thing would do out there on the farm and the ruffled things were hard lo wash and iron." "But don't you see you saved Jim's money, and not so much of it at that but you took from him something that was so precious money could never buy it?" "Huh?" I got as an answer. "Your own sweetness pnd prettiness and attractiveness," I went on, forgetting myself and trying with all my power to make Esther understand. "You deprived him of something you can never give back don't you see that?" "But I have been a good wife and moth-er " Esther fell back on her old defense. "Yea, yes, in the material things, but what do they amount to?" I cried impatiently. "You were not a good wife when you let Jim be disillusioned nor a good mother when you lost respect for your own appearance before your children." Esther stared ree-entfully at me. A year or two ago. had I dared to talk this way, I would have been met with a tirade lasting hours, and would not have bc?n spoken to for days. But now she recognized where I had climbed by the very methods I was preaching to her, so sb? held her j temper. Nevertheless, she did not like what I said. And I said only a little of what I knew enough to open her eyes only. How could I tell her that her careless, uncorseted figure in its old wrapper, her flapping house slippers, her shiny skin, all made a repulsive combination? I thought she did not take in even what little I had said. But she did, for a little while afterwards she came Dear Mrs. Thompson: My problem j is a common one. She is 21. I 'am 26. 1 gaged., We have been together -. for-j years and we have the parents' con-'-sfnt to be engaged. Shortly after our engagement she allowed a "young fellow student to put his arms around her and kiss her and her conscience hurt her so she told me about it. I gradually forgave her that time. When September came we both went to different parts of the state to teach. Her letters were sometimes very cheerful and made me happy, as i I wa3 very true to her and cared more every day that we were apart. When we were home this Christmas I found out that she had been going with another young felloV where she teaches and had allowed him to caress and love her and had even become quite affectionate with him. When I tried to plead with her to tell me why she did it she scolded me for bringing up the past as she was going to do bet

problem is shall I forget and forgive ! as I have always done with the hope that she will some day be a better girl or must I tell her I cannot give her the ring now as she is not sincere enough to me. Would I be happy with her if we;

were married? She did not seem Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pitts and family, thrilled with our engagement, but still Mr. and Mrs. Linus Reynolds, Mr. talks about the ring as though that; and Mrs. Reuben Macy, Mrs. Joe Mawere all bhe cared about.

There is little chance for happiness with that girl, it seems to me. She s iKeTr ppe'in a asonable length of time and proposes, she will still have a chance to marry. j I would not buy the ring. Tell her, that you do not teel as you used to j and that before you can consider your-, . i i ...in - . i sell enRageu again sue win nat; ivj show that she cares for you and no one else. If she sees her mistake and is loyal to you from now on, you would probably be safe in getting her a ring after a year has elapsed. The girl is very young and finds it difficult to settle down to one man. She should not, however, permit others to make love to her when she is engaged. It is doubtful whether such a woman would be loyal to her husband, if romantic opportunities presented themselves after marriage. Some people are born with a sense of honor in such matters and they would not permit a new attachment before j the first is honorably Droken on. Others are self-indulgent and care, nothing for honor they appear to be all , right morally, but when temptation! presents itself they fall. To make the girl "see herself," tell, her what you think of her conduct and ; refuse to be engaged under the circumstances. W4STS TO HKLP (ITHKR MOTHERS Mrs. Wm. Sager, 901 Nichol St.. t'tica. N.

! out with an answer that showed she had been thinking it over. j "I dunno what I saved Jim's money j for, anyway. I wish I hadn't. The other woman got it." I said nothing. After all I wanted to talk of this as little as possible. As for "the other woman" that dread spectre of so many women's lives I thought there was less in that than Esther's imagination would let her helieve. "Anyway, I never took any for my own pleasure till I came down here," she went on. "Nor never neglected Jim except for this week. And I am going back in two days." "But you don't like the city," I consoled her. "Oh, I guess I'd like it well enough if I lived here and got acquainted," she said, making her first concession to city life. "I can see your Francis doesn't like me, though he is crazy about you. " And otherwise there is only Vi, who is more your daughter than mine. As I have said, and Helen." I silently blessed Helen, who had be-?n lovely to Esther, taking her over to her little restaurant for tea and gossip so Francis and myself might run off together for an hour or so during the afternoon, and so Vi's lateness in getting in from work might pass unnoticed. For Vi and Bud met for an hour at another restau-" rant in the neighborhood. But Vi never came away from these meetings cheered; for her face was pale and thin, and Esther thought it was the confinement of her position. "But it has been a rest?" "Oh yes, I've done nothing but lie about and talk. My hands don't crack so since I've come here," she rambled on, spreading out a fat, short fingered hand before her. "I guess because I wore gloves when I went out and I haven't had my hands too much in water. Enid, how do you fix up your nails? So it was taking! Smiling a little, I went into the bedroom and brought out my manicure instruments, and while I sewed, gave her minute directions as to what to do. Heaven knows there was enough! And the result, when hang nails had been clipped, cream rubbed into dry. callous places, and bleaches put on stains was anything but lovely. But Esther 'looked admiringly at her short ridge covered nails "If I. get you a set of these things, will you do this every week?" "Oh Lord," Esther answered, "It's a lot of bother, isn't it?" "Esther, I f-aid suddenly, if I go back for a few weeks and look after Jim and James, will you stay on here and rest, and fix yourself up a little?" I believed for a moment Esther sincerely loved me. "Yes, I will," she answered. And that is how, in spite of Francis' wistful protests and Vi's downdrawn mouth, I dropped everything and went -back, Tommorrow The Old Life.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for j restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's ( time. She used it to keep her hair; beautifully dark, glossy and attractive, i Whenever her hair took on that dull, j faded or streaked appearance, this i simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkpns the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or-soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair all disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Phone 1335 Pohlmeyer, Downing & Co.
