The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips
June 4. It must be that J was born ail different from most girls, at least mother says so. I have nothing in common with moBt of our family, friends or relatives, and am constantly distressing well-meaning aunts and cousins on how to be a lady, on all occasions. Today my prim Aunt Harriet caught me racing George Watson In the park! Poor dear. I can still see her expression of horror; my lack of dignity positively hurt her, I know. But what girl of nineteen could possibly resist running a race with an old friend on a glorious day in June, I ask you! George and I went to art classes together for two years and of course we got to be pretty good chums. He Is the dearest boy, and I really had Quite serious yearnings in his direction several times while at school, but on two occasions my Bense of humor saved me. One was when George got terribly sentimental while at the circus one evening most ridiculous place on earth to wax tender in, especially when the object of your affections happens to be a girl like Lindsey. It was too funny, though, for just as Georgey-Porgey was leaning toward me passionately I noticed one of the clowns also leaning forward passionately In the direction of one of the lady freaks, and at the sight of same, plus my ardent lover, now
plucking at my elbow, I burst into gales of laughter laughter that caused everyone within a radius of a hundred feet to turn to look at me. Jt made George awfully angry, for he
thought that I -was laughing at him and his love. Of course, there was a grain of truth in it, but. oh, that foolish-faced clown! The other time that George was sentimental with me was when we were tearing up one of those Connecticut roads together last spring. There -was a pretty 6tiff wind blowing, and he suddenly thrust his face into mine this at a moment when we were tearing off eighty miles an hour his collar burst open and gave me such a start that again I roared with merry glee. No, George and I were evidently never intended for each other. But we did enjoy that race to the lake at Seventy-second 6treet this morning, in spite of Aunt Harriet. The worst of it all was that as we were running and pretty well neck-and-neck at that, for I am a good runner, I stumbled and fell right Into the outraged stomach of a portly female, whose scream of protest brought me from my most undignified position to a realizaion that I had almost knocked my awn Aunt Harriet down. To make matters worse, George rescued me from the hem of her quivering coat, and braced me with his good old arm. Aunt Harriet snorted, then rubbed my smarting cheek, and asked me with a melting glance of welcome in George's direction if this were my Jack! I draw the curtain on the RCenA ihat
followed. Her expression was wonderful to behold. Aunt Harriet has thin lips and a beaky nose. She is spare and acrid. 'Nuff said. (To be continued.)
Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson
day Is Sadie's lucky day and 7 her lucky number. IMOGENE. Not so frequent In usage but none the less lovely and possessing a good deal of poetic charm is Imogene. The name has no definite history and etymologists find it difficult to account for it, but the generally accepted theory is that it is another form of the Imagina which is found in Germany in early times. s There was an Imagina of Limburg in 1400 and various other instances of the use of the name by German women. How England secured the name of Imogene is open to speculation. It is probable that Shakespeare's heroine established her vogue there, though etymologists contend that It was used by British ladies before the master playwright wrote his version of the old story of the deserted and betrayed wife, which he so strangely placed at the court of the last independent British prince. At any rate, Shakespere called his heroine Imogene, thus establishing her vogue forever. The name is still a great favorite In England, but has widespread popularity here, due, perhaps to its rather poetic associations. Also it usually degenerates into 'Gene. A few devoted admirers of Shakespere (and others unwittingly) give the name to girl babies in baptism, probably Ignorant of the fact that as Ygnoge, the name was once bestowed on a daughter of Emperor Pandrasus of Greece and the wife of Brutus, according to Geoffry of Monmouth. She was mentioned in Anne of Brittany's funeral oration in 1514. Imogene's talismanic stone is the jacinth. It is said to protect her from danger, especially of lightning. Worn when traveling, it will insure her a happy, successful journey. Wednesday is her lucky day and C her lucky number.
The Land of Lucky Women By Helen Rowland
(Copyright. 1920, By The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Sh! Don't read this to your husband! But This is the only country in the world Where a man takes off his shoes, and creeps upstars, when he comes in Inte evenings Where the man pushes the babycarriage. Where a man 6ays: "I'll see what my wife says about it;" before accepting anything from a dinner invitation to a job. Where a man actually brags that his wife "made him," and boasts of how skillfully and cleverly she "runs him." Where a man whimsically refers to his wife as his "Better ninety-nine per cent." "The Boss," or "The Head of the House." Where a man's success is measnured chiefly by his wife's clothes. Where a man can get out of doing anything on earth he doesn't want to do by using his wifo as an alibi. Where a man keeps his money and his religion in his wife's name. rcr" r nil w i i rv ri - T-f'i 1 1 v rnaTrv

Where a man looks upon every woman as a "lady" until she proves herself otherwise, and regards every young girl as a "little sister," to be protected and respected. Where a man will let a woman tell him what she thinks of him, and accept her anthology of his little failings with a good-natured grin, a kiss, or a wink.

In England. Sara Beauchamp gare it vogue in the reign of Edward 1 and Sarott3 de Moulton. who lived in a former reign, was also supposed to possess a name which was another and favorite form of Sarah. The French preferred Sara without the "h" and it still continues in ereat vogue there. They have another form, Sarotte. which is also popular.
