A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY , The Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RU&INCAM

Chapter 114. i LOOKING BACKWARD. It was months before I heard the end of her affair from Violet. We traveled about, so that mail reached us spasmodically- We had gone straight to Paris from the boat, and spent only a week there, seeing only a few of the fascinating bits of the city, end spending most of the time shopping since I had to get warm weather clothes. Then we had gone to Italy, and the charm of the country took such a hold upon me. that I felt I must be almost a new person when I left it. for I had absorbed so much of its beauty, so much pf its romance. Then north again, goin? slowly, and stopping often in the cathedral country of France. Then again to Paris, where we received some long-delayed mail, and on into Holland. And it was at The Hague tfoat I found Violet's letter telling me of the happy termination of her affair-1-and other important news. It was very r.?arly June then and Francis and I had been married three whole months! "Of course you won't be a bit surprised to hear that Bud and I are engaged again," she wrote., "Both you and Uncle Francis have' known all along it would happen and I never denied it would except to Bud himsolf. But I felt that the few months that I kept him from knowing were good for him he thought it was only a whim on my part; he did not take it seriously at all. The conceited child never thought I could help being in love with hira. "Well. I couldn't. But after two months be was very doubtful, and in a properly humble frame of mind. So then I graciously reconsidered what I had said before, and now we are engaged again. And this time it's forever until we are married. "You were right and so was Helen, in what you said sometimes that Bud was too sure of me. But now he knows' an independence of mind that he never suspected in me before, and I believe he likes me much more for it. And as for myself. I appreciate being engaged more, too since I denied it to myself these last few months. Helen says it's always bo we appreciate things more when we have been without them for a long time. That's why she is so happy now, for she and Toby are to be married this week "-and you ought to see them! They are worse than Bud and I." There was -a postscrip on the letter that made me laugh "You should see my ring a regular large diamond." Francis laughed at this, too.

"They say at the office Bud is do-

that would be pur permanent city home. In my trunks were enough wonderful clothes to please even the autocratic Mrs. Meade. I .glanced at my gown, and the soft kid gloves that made my hands look so well. And this was I! This young woman who. judging from the mirror, might be well under 30 slender, smartly dressed, really distinguished looking in a gentle, rather sweet fashion. - This was. I! And really. I was 37. ; It' had been more than two years since the Great Awakening. I thought of the -women in Henly Falls who were 37 women who had let themselves be wrecked by the narrow, .mean life of that little town. I thought of Mark Upjohn, who grew noticeably fatter with the months, and his pitiable little wife. I turned Francis was to meet me here and we were to go to tea, then for a drive before dinner. Francis was coming, tall, handsome, with a quick, elastic step, keeping the youthful slimness of his figure, but

adding to it a decision of motion that youth rarely possesses. His eyes lit up as they saw me they always lit up so when we met, after even the shortest absence, as mine must always glow with love and happiness whenever I look at him. . ; And this almost perfection of joy was to go on and on always. And when the romance and passion of our first years together cooled if it did there would be something deeper, and as sweet, to take its place. . For we were not the sort to let ourselves sink down, to handle carelessly the golden gift of love that had been granted us. Almost too late I had found myself, pulled myself away from the most impossible conditions, made myself over, brought back some of my youth and this was my reward! AND WHAT I DID. ANY WOMAN WITH ENOUGH WILL. POWER AND IMAGINATION CAN ALSO DO. "Dearest," Francis spoke from behind the bench, "are you ready for tea?" THE END. Be"ginning Monday, the Palladium

It seems as though I never " can say the right thing in the right place." I have just about given up as a hopeless case. '' No one had time to take an Interest in me and my affairs and whenever the skies seemed to have fallen - fprme, I had to hide it all in my heart, for confiding would bring nothing but, "Well why did you do it?" In trying to hide the hurt I was called "stuck up," which did not help matters any. Of course, in such a large family, I had .much to do, and generally was too tired for fun, so that.now in' a crowd I am entirely out of place. I am always a Ill-joy, although I try not to be. -v . .. . . I think. I tnust be awfully ;supid. I have had the chance to have such splendid friendships and I have always, done something to spoil them. ..What is-the matter with me, and what can I do? ' JUMB'LED. I You can be' observing and thoughtful. . Pick out people whom you admire and watch how they act and talk. You - ned not be.- a parrot .by any means, but you can subdue crudeness on your part through observation. To be thoughtful you must watch for opportunities to do kindnesses, and in your conversation you must think before you speak.- If you think how the thing you are going to say would effect you if some one said it to you, you can judge pretty .well how the persdh you are talking to will- take your remark. 4 ,The fact that you are alarmed about your social blunders snows. that you are waking up to a certain crudeness about yourself. That is encquraging and one by one, you will overcome your imperfections. Try not to worry about mistakes you have made. Instead, profit by them and give your thought to the kind and helpful things you can do in the future.

"She will," I said, nodding, my head 'emphatically. And after he left me I went out for a walk alone thinking of Violet's letter and of other things. I sat in a park In the center of the city, with white swans in the lake, and beyond a bit of the old medieval town. It was June and the summer was fully upon us. A fashionably dressed
