The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

The Btorm broke loose from all Bides this morning. . Everyone took a ehot at me, except Aunt Cecilia. ! Mother was loud in her denunciation of what she calls "my loose ways,"; and even that wretched small sister looked condescendingly over at me as she heard me being grilled, munching her toast with all the aplomb of a woman of the world, as she sat bedecked with my jade beads. (Lifted from my dresser in my absence, no doubt! ) I observed a stony silence. My attitude being, let them rave. All the great women of history have teen . maligned, and without doubt I, too, have been predestined to disaster. When mother in desperation at my Eilence told me that she was going to cancel the trip to Europe I bit with a Vengeance and poured a flood of reproaches and abuse on all their heads. Ending by promising to run away and lead the life I longed to lead. If I was not allowed to go to Europe. We had It out thoroughly, I can assure you. No one won, however. All hands were unconvinced when I finally stood up and walked from the room haughtily. I take it that the devil is never far from a woman's elbow, for as I got to the hall I suddenly walked to the telephone and called up Brixy. He promised to meet me for lunch and counsel me, and with a lighter heart I proceeded up to my room. ' My heart has turned to stone. I feel like a true heroine. There is no madness that I could not undertake

at this moment. 1 yearn to fly, even

with Brixy, and taste all the joys and

woes of life Immediately. Of course 1 know we'd have woes for we would

guarrel abominably. 1 had it out with myself, later, and

, adorer. I put on my most becoming : adorer. 1 put on my niose becoming costume, and then sauntered out of the house, biill filled with unreason

able plans and desires. Brixy laughed merrily over the re

' inembrances of last night and the

frosty glances of my family. And

pretty soon we were both enjoying

the humor of things.

After lunch he escorted me to Dor-

ry and Jane's studio, and here I found those two dear girls up to their eyes

in urt and paint, though delighted to see me. We had a grand gossip, and I told them the events of lli past twentyfour hours, which gave them several thrills. Then I mentioned the btudio that Brixy had told me of, and my intention of casting all traditions to the winds, and becoming as one of them, even if it cost me my life and fiance! The three of us then sat down and planned. Later on we went over and took the studio. I felt as though I had been suddenly transplanted to heavenly regions, as soon as the deal was transacted which made me the possessor of my very own place. That Is all any free-thinking woman wants in this world, after all. It's too bad ' that we have to fight for it so hard. Then I returned to the bosom of . my family, which was absorbed, the parental part of it, In trying to locate me by 'phone. I was still a princess at table later , on, and no one picked on me. Didn't dare to, I guess. Jack came at eight, and I descended, still in the clouds, and gave him two very cool fingers. It was thrilling, playing this new role of mine. He

was most affectionate, and treated me, despite my zero temperature, as though I were a naughty little girl. Imagine his dismay when in the middle of a conversation I asked him quite casual

ly, ior a smwKe. his tace was a

study, but he had to hand me his

case, willy nllly. I was asserting my individuality. I too now walked with the free spirits of the earth. Gone was the Lindsey of a day ago, forever. He watched me gravely, as I puffed and even blew rings in a languid manner. Then he suddenly came over to where I sat and kissed me full on the mouth, breaking up a perfectly beautiful ring in the making. It was then that I asked him if he had elnjoyed himself the night before. Men are so artful would you beliece it? He never turned a hair at

my question. Just said off-hand, "Oh, yes, he had had a pretty good time, doing not much of anything!" That spurred me on to action, and I told him of seeing him the night before, dancing with another girl, and

several other things.

Quite coolly then he told me that

the only thing that had stopped him

from bringing the girl, his cousin, in

to Introduce her to me was the fact

that Brixy and I had been so lost in

each other's eyes when he caught

sight of me, that he had decided to let us enjoy ourselves alone.

I had nothing more to say after

that.

We discussed Europe the rest of the

evening. Then Jack went home, and

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been married four years. Mother would

not give her consent to the marriage

and so we promised if she would give us her blessing she might live with us. We started out together, but from the first day mother bossed bo that after six months I was sick in bed with a nervous breakdown. The doctor said mother would have to leave the home and my husband insisted that she go. A year after I was married our first child was born and mother came back to help care for her. She seemed to have learned her lesson and

was mucn more reasonable for a

while. Now my second baby is born and mother is so unreasonable that she will not let my husband or me have one word to say about what is to be done with our children. Mother is so hateful to my husband that he. says either he or mothes will have to leave tho home. He has given me one month in which to make my choice. 1 love my husband and cannot hear

the thought of losing him. If I bad not promised to keep mother, I would say that she must go. I have always believed, however, that we are punished for the promises we break.

What can I do? JOSEPHINE. The promises you made are not all on the side of your mother. To let your husband go would be breaking your marriage vows. It is very clear that your mother should go and her happiness be sacrificed rather than the happiness of you, your husband and the two children. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a boy for a long time and he has always shown me a pleasant time, but lately he has become rather wild and so I cut him. Did I do right or otherwise? Would it be wrong to have dates with a fellow who has not a very desirable reputation? All respect me. SNEEZE One does not appreciate a good reputation until it is sacrificed. 1 think you were wise in giving up a friendship which ceased to be desirable. If you yourself want to be re-
