This nsrt Ular June 3 made an lmlelihla imna. elou on Elinor's mind because on that aay she began to be thirty-two-begati at the very beginning, of course, hut suu sne began.

"It's such bad form to say you're thirty-one venm n. two months old. or whntevr it m happeu to be. And if I have to write It i u mase It thirty -one In round numbers--not even thlrty-oue nlus." All ni w hich, ns the reader can see, was very unscrupulous. However, as she found, hv far th worst thing about beginning to be thirty-two was the fact that you couldn't forget It. The harder you tried the bet ter you remembered it "Well, what If I amr This was the remark that onr hemin slung Into snnce when, after a week nt torment she sat down with her chin resting on her hands to have the thino out "What if I am? So are nlnntf nf other glr-women, I mean. Alice Is thirty, Mary thirty-one, Mabel twenty-eight" She paused In her enumeration, sfmpk by the thought that all these friends Were mnrrlnl MaMmnnv . ...u ject to which she had given the mini mum of thought She supposed she d come to It some time, but she was Id no hurry to enter that narrow nastnr so long as there was pleasant browsing to be had outside. When she had thoncht of it nt all it had seemed to mean chictlv a tiresum round of housekeeping that resulted in three perpendicular Hues just over thf nose, a meuioranuum of worrv that hIk secretly determined to avoid as long as possible. But now that she was bl ginning to be thirty-two the thlna ws I different. I Could It be, she asked herself, that ! sne naa made a mistake after all and that .those three lncklve lines were ai much of an honor as an officer's barsl Could It b that there was a point when one began to be thirtv-two for Instance, when becomlngness demand ed that one should lay aside "Miss" Just as It required that one should stop wearing pink? She faced her Dlteht with a stiff per Hp, realizing that she had no one but herself to blame. There had been a number of men the mischievous dim ple at the corner of her month Uanced Into sight for a second at the thought of how many who had done their best to stop her in what she now recognized for the first time her mad career. She had declined their offers Idndly, but with a certain royal carelessness that recked not of possible dark hours to come. When did any woman born to the belief in the divine risht of mieen ever foresee dethronement? She had Inadvertently "lived over." as she had once heard It quaintly phrased. There was no doubt about It she was an old maid! She reneated it aloud in all Its brutal truth, scorning such euphemisms as "spinster" and twicneior woman." "You're an old maid Just a Dlain old maid:" she said audibly. But it sound ed like a joke-like one of those things too bad to be true. She would nroha- bly wake up after a bit to find that she nan been marrtea since her eighteenth year and had a son ready to enter col lege and a daughter about to make her aeout No such happy awakenlnz came. however, and with desperate philoso phy she decided that since she was an old maid she would enter Into the role for ail It was worth. At least she would avoid the error of being kittenish. Little by little her plainest kowm were brought Into requisition. Certain mue graces ana frivolities of the toilet were one by one abandoned. She timid ly asked Alice, her closest friend, to teacn tue children to call her "auntie," a thing which she had hitherto forbid den under the penalty of a sudilen death to the cherub that should first be guilty of It. "What Is the matter with you?" casn- ed A Ike, with a stare of amazement And what have you been dolus with your hair, and why are you wearing uiat ugly old dress, with all the hand some things that you have?" "I'm just wearing the things suit able to my age before the denr friemi have a chance to point them out to me, was the answer, and that night her friend confided to her hiikl.nml with thoughtful regret, that Elinor was becoming a regular old maid. Another of her friends and comrades, Max Anderson, elso noticed the subtle change. Theirs had Irffm a anrt of brother and sister friendship of Ion? landing.

"Piwsihly 1 may toil you some time," he said, with a muu-lmlant launh. "luil go on; let nn hear what's the trouble You always tell me eventually." And so. In fait, she did. It was the beauty of Max that lie made von ilk and hate him siiuulinneously. ' But no matter what you felt you wanted him. and you usually conthled In him. That at least had been Elinor's exnerlenc. and it was being related for the hun- ureutu ume now. She wanted to tell him; she always wanted to tell him ev. erythlng. She leaned forward sudden ly, with a childish bid for sympathy In her eyes. "You see. Max. I've omitted to get married. And now I'm thirty-one" 'Tlus," he corrected gravely. "Thirty-one," she continued firmly, "and, though it's been great fun well, all at once I realized that I'm an old maid. It's so unexpected. Why haven't I married? That's what 1 dou't under stand." There was a pause In which it seem. ed to her that she suddenly heard the beating of her own heart Before she fully realized what had happened her nanus were held close and Max was saying: "Look at me.

It couia open and shut Its eyes, and every nigut J,aney took It to bed with her carefully closing its eyes before the llgnt was turned out. One dav the doll as dolls from time Immemorial have been known to do. met with an acci dent which placed the eye shutting mechanism out of business and left It with not only widely and permanently openea optics, but badly damaged ones as well. At Intervuls during the re mainder of the day Nancy pleaded to have her dolly "cured," but nothing was successful. At Ix-dtlme when she had donned her nightdress and started for her little bed her mother saw she bad forgotten her adored doll and re minded her of It, Having: "But, Nannie, you've forgotten your Dauy. hue won t lie able to sleep un less you take her to bed with you, as usual." To her motiiers amused astonish ment Nancy threw a half contemptuous look over her shoulder at the doll, re cumbent on a chair, and said: "Oh, what's the use? She can't sleen anywuy.
