The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillip

May 16. Less than three weeks -to .jy wedding day now. How time does try! I am glad to say that I managed to finlbh my. head of Jean yeaerday. It was really very well done even if I do say so. The gang down at the studio seems to become more and more mournful as the time for my lew venture draws near. I never -eallzed that I had become so dear .o them. It makes me feel so strange, find as if I were dropping out of the pame somehow. Jean says that if she ver docs marry, and she feels sure ihat she will not. it will not be a day before she is thirty. She Bays a woman changes her mind and tastes, ten times and more, before that age, and that If she does marry earlier she may xpeet to be ready to change her husband by that time, even if she does

not do so. She pointed out that the fact that she may want to change and cannot, or does not, is one of the great tragedies of life. Goodness, It makes mo shudder to think of what I may be unsuspectingly committing by mar lying at nineteen. I tried mother out on this same subject, not for enlightenment, of course, but merely to see how her mind ran on such a thing. She threw back her head and laughed at th very idea. Mother has such an uncomplicated sort of a mind. She thinks Bteadi'.y in one stream and has thought just the same way ever since she was "nineteen! I must put it down to her being unmodern, that explains it. She 13 of the opinion that once a girl Is married, has babies, worries and her home to manage, she has very little time to sit down and pensively reflect on her lot, good or bad. A husband, to her, becomes like a pet corn he sticks to one. She assures me that father long ago became a "habit" with her, and a very good one too, that I might well copy! Then she began to t-Ml me about poor Aunt Cecilia all over again; how she had ruined her life and future by excessive pondering over the same question. She told me something that I had never known before, that Aunt Cecilia had once wanted to go on the- stage, was beautiful, iind. through lif-r own high handedness had lost her lover because of her rel'usal to see things through his eyes (as all gins should, according to mother) and promise never to think about the stage again. In fact ho wanted licr to concentrate entirely upon being his fiancee, and the future mother of his children, etc. Well, it

seems that Aunt . Cecilia was just spunky enough, and maybe ambitious enough, to resent any such ultomatum.

.and consequently, they parted forever.

Personally, I think she is better off than she would have been as the meek wife of such a prune. My opinion of her went up one hundred per cent. A lialo loomed large about her dear old head, and I made up my mind that after all she had touched elbows with romance, even as you and I, and was to be highly honored for her strength of characer. No one can ever tell what lies In the lives and hearts of old maids, anyhow. We are all worms, and cannot dare to judge a human being.

! Bachelor Girl Sayings I By Helen Rowland J V , ) "opyrisht. hy Tho Whreler Kvnrt'"at. Inc.) "As you wei"" said the Beauty specialist and bshold. it is don?! At twenty, it is his love of love, fit thirty, his love of adventure; at forty, his love of comradeship; and at fifty, his love of amusement but each time, a man always mistakes it for his love of a woman. It takes several trained nurses, a lot of tutors, and a college full of professors to equip the average gilded youth to marry a chorus girl. A man mentally is so ambidextrous, that he can read his newspaper with one set of brain cells, while he carries on a conversation with his wife with, mother set. A woman's guesses as to whrit is do-

'aining her husband, when he is 'working late at the office" have been reduced from four to three, since puohibition. The only ones left are a poker game, another woman and the bare possibility of course, that he .MAY be "working late at the office." Though every other charm may lade, a woman can still work the c harm of Circe, with a beautiful voice end an eternal smile. Everybody loves a lover espocially the florist, the confectioner, the jeweller, the taxi-chauffeur and the rostautanteur! So long as he keeps within the law. a man may break the commandments as lightly as he would a lover's vow, but a woman may far more safely break all the laws, than one social convention. Love your enemies as a fat woman loves herssugar, ice cream, bon-bons iU.d cream puddings.

I hate to think of father, witu wonderful smile, and his dashing figure, as anything so commonplace as a "habit,", even though a "very good one." Somehow or other it seems to cast a reflection on his strong individuality. I wonder if he has ever suspected that mother felt that way towards him? Maybe, if so, that would account for his being away from home 6o much! Maybe he too has a dual personality. If so, it may have been wished on him, for no man can stand being underrated. I am sure. Jack simply sniffs and hugs me hard when I test him out on this same -ub-ject. Tells me to ask myself that

question when I have been Mrs. Jack three months. Sounds sort of selfsatisfied to ' me but . then I am prepared for anything after I am Mrs. Nothing shall feaze me, of that I am determined. (To be continued.)

My Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 18 years old and I want to get married, but I have not any beau. Do you know of any nice man I can marry. I love a

man but he goes with another girl, i way?

girl of IS was becoming a grown-up

for my father for more than 10 years. We have a very good home and my father is good to me. I enjoy home and the privileges of home very much. But I do not have any money for clothes or to spend on little things, except by slowly using a small inheritance I have received. It seems to me the inheritance should be saved Instead of my being forced to spend it. ' It is a case of chosing whether I shall leave home and make my own way or to stay at home and do without clothes and hardly look respectable.

But that time, fortunately, is passed. It is absolutely dead. They . have learned it is much better to do some work to help push the world along perhaps go to school and at least not marry until they have had some of the real pleasures of the "successfully single". Don't marry until you are 24 or 25 years old, then you'll probably know more about whom you really want to marry.
