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

Chapter 106. ' i A DI8CUSSION. "About Violet and Bud!" Jim echoed. Instantly his genial manner vanished. Jim was on his guard it was the beginning of a mood I dreaded. "About Violet first." Francis said, censing the change in Jim and tactfully trying to keep him in his first Eoftened mood. "You mean about adopting her?" Jim questioned, turning so he faced the other man. "Yes, Enid has already told you we wanted to, and she Bays that you had practically consented." "Enid said she wanted to." "It amounts to the same thing. What Enid wants, I want also." I adored Francis for that speech. I let my work fall in my lap and watched the two men my brother and my fiance. They were both over the table from me. I sat so I could see each profile. What a difference they showed! - Each was 6trong but Jim gave a sense of physical strength, Francis of intellectual strength. Jim's forehead was low and his stiff hair stood up from it, short and straight like a brush. His eyes were little, his eyebrows were too bushy and wild. His gradually souring attitude "on life was drawing sneering lines around his mouth, his chin was stubborn, and his fact thrust itself forward from a short, thick neck.

With Francis the forehead was high and the hair brushed back, threw into greater relief his aquiline, well-shaped nose. His mouth lost none of its firmness because of the little expression of sweetness at the corners an expression not always present, however and ho held his head after the manner of men who have their way in life. It was brute strength against intellectual strength. "I can't do anything but consent to your adopting. Violet," Jim said finally. "That is, if she's willing, and if Esther is. I have not talked it over with Esther yet." "I have, in the car coming up. She is willing she thinks it would be the best thing after all, for the girl." "I always hoped she'd come back and settle down here with us," Jim said, a little wistfully. "You have your other daughter " "Yes, she is around a lot, every few days. But Vi well I guess a father hasn't any right to have favorites in his children, but somehow VI got around me when the others could not. I mean sir." he faced Francis more squarely, "I am fond of all my children, but you want to take the one I love best." A sentimental speech for Jim! I liked him better for it. "I realize that," Francis answered gently. "But. after all, you must see that life in a place like this." his manner indicated the whole countryside, "is not the life that would make her happy. We want to do a lot of things for her college and travel, the things that will broaden her outlook on life, that will make her better and happier" ... . "I know, I know," Jim said, a little wearily. "I can't do that for her, and you will think me a miser because 1 couldn't spare the money for a year or so of college, but let my sister take what little she had and do it. I have no right to say no to all the things you offer so it goes, and there's my i.ard on it." Francis' hand went out instantly, and the two men settled the discussion. The necessary details of a for

mal adoption were arranged then and there. "And now, one thing more. I have a young townsman of yours in my employ, a chap named George Pearsoll " Jim stiffened again. I wondered how, Francis was going to get around this problem. "There is a very real attachment between the two. They were even engaged for a time. " "Without my knowing it!" Jim was genuinely angry now, the soft mood had passed. " "They .are such children." Francis put in gently. "And children like secrets. I am sure they would have told you in time when they were ready to marry. Unfortunately, it was broken off" Rapidly he sketched the. affair that involved Bud. Without telling an untruth he managed somehow to make Bud the hero, and to excuse most of the real faults that involved him in that trouble. At the end Jim had softened toward Bud, too. "But he will never amount to anything, his family is no good," he put in feebly. "I will answer for him. He is in my office, under my supervision. And you only make me more determined when you oppose the match." "Guess I can't oppose anything, if

I give my girl up to you," Jim finished t you are running after him

obliged to you if you would tell me;

whit to do. I. L. Y. T. I suppose you and the boy and your' girl friends profess to be Christians. But have you asked yourself what Christ "would have done? Did- He turn away from Mary Magdalene and tell her He did not want to be with her? I sincerely hope that the boy' and the critical girls will go through life as pure as they seem to be now. Doubtless, however, they will make their mistakes as the girl in question has made hers. If . I were you I would tell them they can do as they like about being your friends, that since the girl likes you so much, and is willing to follow your advice in regard to a better life, you will not give her up. If. you hold the right attitude, she will not hurt your reputation in - the least, but you will help her so much that her whole life will be better and richer as a result of your friendship. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I want your advice about how I can learn to like an old bachelor and win him. He knows me and I know him, but I am afraid of people's criticism. I am a widow of forty, and I am lonesome. I am not very popular or good looking, but I do like company. LONESOME. - Do not -be afraid of people's criticism. Since you are a widow there is nothing wrong in you accepting the attentions of an unmarried man. The problem of "winning him," however, is difficult, since it is his place to "win you." Be pleasant when you

meet him, but do not let him think

for three weeks after her bereave

ment, then It Is permissible to relieve its somberness with touches of white. No color should be worn for a year and a half, then white, gray, purple, or lavender are permissible, but it is not till after, two years that colors may be worn indiscriminately. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can you giv me the value of dimes of several dates, bearing the letter S. I understand some of them are of considerable value. ' N. E. D. A dime bearing the letter S and of the year 1884 is worth from $1 to $2. Dated 18S5, it Is worth from $2 to $5, and dated 1894, from $50 to $100. The letter S indicates that it was coined in the San Francisco mint.

The Home Garden

A recent bulletin from the department of agriculture makes the statement that the strawberry is the most important small fruit crop grown in the United States. It is very popular and widely grown. It is especially adapted to the home garden, as it ripens early and a small patch will

produce enough to supply an ordinary family. In selecting a Bite low places should be avoided as frost will occur more frequently than upon the high ground. The strawberry plant is close to the ground and as a result the blossoms are often caught when those on the higher ground escape. The soil should be moist but not wet to get the best results. Plants in wet ground will not grow so well and are easily killed when the ground is frozen. - The plants should be set in soil that has been carefully prepared. It should be free from persistent weeds and have a good supply of humus. Generally speaking the best time for setting the plants is in the spring because of more favorable moisture conditions, but they may be set in the autumn. The latter part of March and first part of April is the most usual planting season.

."They are not engaged now," Francis answered. I only wanted your consent, in case they become so again." ' ' The thuee .of us rose. Jim with a short good night, went upstairs to bed and Francis came over to kiss me good night. On the mantel, the clock struck eleven times. Tomorrow We Go Back.

Heart Problems !

Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a girl at school who has not a good reputation. I am very proud of my reputation and this girl is determined to be with me. My girl friend is in all of my classes and it is very hard to get rid of her. I have told her several times that I did not care to have her with me, but all to no use. The other day a" boy friend of m.ine came to me and told me that if I did not stop going with her, he would stop going with me. This boy is a very dear friend of mine. In fact, I love him, and it would break my heart if he would stop going with me. I have told my mother all about it and she sympathizes with me. I never keep ,things away from my mother, and when different girls say things that she knows are not true, it almost breaks her heart.

I feel sorry for tljis girl because she !

does not know any better about the things she does. I always tell her when she is in the wrong. She thanks me when I do it, but I cannot bring myself to like her. I would be
