V4GE FIVE

The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

We are going to a grand ball In & few days that Is, Jack, Aunt Cecilia and I. A Bohemian affair that some friends of Jacks's are giving. I have to think up a costume in the meantime, and you can imagine how thrilling that 18. Of course mother wants me to call on Jack's mother lust the very afternoon when 1 had planned to browse around in the shops for materials for said costume. I had counted on several happy hours to myself with a trip to the movies. But that's

all over. I don't get time now-a-days to dream any little dreams any more. Marital law has been put into force ever since I became engaged. And now I want to dash about and see the people I love, and the places that harmonize with my soul and play with Brixy, dear old thing, to my heart's content. 1 quite envy Auut Cecilia her quiet happiness. They are both so sure of themselves and their future. It's a second blooming. Now for the old shopping tour. How I hate It. Same evening. Well, now I am In disgrace. I made a scene at the dinner table, and have just refused to see Jack this evening. Why? Because 1 am dead tired. Mother dragged rue here, there and everywhere all afternoon, and I just want to be alone for the next twenty-four hours. We had tea with Mrs. Edmonds, and I made some awful breaks, it seems. The worst one tame at the very end, when I told Mrs. Edmonds that I was a firm believer in trial marriages. I don't remember just what happened after that, but 1 do remember the look that both she and mother gave me, and the lecture Pgot all 1he way home, and even at the dinner table. Till my head ached, and my father stepped In on my side and told them to let me alone. Of course when Jack called up. smooth and cool and unruffled it ir

ritated me almost to death. 1 snapped back at him and told him that the tight of any man in my present mood would be too much for me to bear! It's done now. And here I am back In my own bed-room, and alone, thank soodness. The family is going to the theater. The way of the engaged girl is indeed hard. 1 am like a piece of clay in the hands of clumsy potters. Every one wants to tell me what to do, and really, if it wasn't for the sense of humor I think that I should collapse at times. Even Nanny has assumed the right lo watch over me, her elder sister. She came in here this evening before dinner and told me that if she were an engaged girl she would not act so uppity witix Jack. And hinted darkly about there being lots of good iish in

Uie sea who were aching to be caught just as if I were like some of those girls who have been flitting coquet-

tishly about under Jack's nose hoping-!

in a maidenly sort of way, that he would angle for them. There was nothing to be said, so I, advised her to mind her own business, as well as to keep her hands off my Jade beads, which the little imp was wearing as she spoke! I was so tired and sick of everything that I cried after she had gone, and as I was in the midst of it in she waltzed again with a piece of ahocolate cake In one hand, and my favorite magazine. Sisters (small ones especially) are funny things. She was upset at the sight of my weakness (tears) and sympathized with my mood. Even suggested that I get un-engaged if I was being made miserable, and all that, and told me with a wise, look that some strange man had called me up earlier in the afternoon, and had given his name as "Nobody." 1 guessed who It was, instinctively. There's only one errant soul who would possess enough sense of humor to give that name Brixy. (To be continued.) '

What's in a Name

husband's kingdom to "Remember Meave in battle." Meave, the diminutive of Meadhail j became popular in Ireland and, in

honor of its first possessor, was bestowed 6n the Queen of the Fairies. Irish settlers brought her fame to England, where she was made immortal by Shakespeare and Ben Johnson. "Queen Mab" is still a chaacter of great beauty and adorns the fairy tales of Britain. Mabel means "beloved," a significance probably given by the Irish who ae naively fond of fairy stories. In France she is called Mabelle. The name is too Keltio to appeal to the Latin countries so she has no equivalents in Spain and Italy. Maybelle is merely an affectation and has no raison d'etre except in the realms of fashion. Coral is Mabel's talisman stone. It gives its wearer wisdom, and bodily strength, possessing the power to fade in color as a warning of fatigue or disease. If it is broken or even chipped, this power vanishes. Monday is Mabel's lucky day and 2 her lucky number.

Mabel is translated to mean beloved and certainly the name has a right to its signifiicance since it conies from the old Keltic word meedhail, meaning "joy". The fashionable miss of today who spells her good old-fasliioned name "Maybelle" does not realize that she is trying: to naint the lilv no nnmo

beloved heroine of Irish romance that Congal Claen, according to the old story, bid the men of Connaught, her

Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My parents are very strict and my father is cruel to me and often strikes me. They do not want me to go anywhere and I cannot have company or callers. I am supposed to sit at home by them all the time. You really don't know how much my young heart craves for company. I feel best when I am at the office where people greet mo with a smile. I cry myself to sleep almost evevry night. 1 believe there Is no girl who weeps as much as I do. When father sees me cry, he strikes me, although I am kind and loving to him and mother. It breaks my- heart sometimes when I see other girls going away and having good times while I am left as if behind prison bars. I do hope that

Be as happy as possible for a year or two, and if at the end of that time if conditions have not changed, go elsewhere. I am afraid the world would bring you real suffering if you were to break away from home at the age of 18. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 16 and married a boy when I was 15, but have never lived with him. I like him, but do not love him. He is 18 now. I see him once in a while and he begs me to go away and live with him. I really do not love anyone. I am going with a fellow now and he tells me he loves me, but I do not give him any answer. Should I live with my husband, or should I

If you live with your husband there probably will be children to add to the complication. A separation would be more difficult with children to consider. It is not right for you, a married woman, to keep company with another man. Get a divorce so that you will be free to live the normal life of a young girl. Your first venture has been such a failure that you should not think of marriage again until you are older and very sure of your love.
