The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phytlte Phillips

My cousin Cecil la to be with us for several we.eks, before proceeding to California. I am glsid for he is most entertaining. How the girls do stare at him "wherever -we go; it's positively Indecent. And he is so indifferent; I'd jus t love to et him all fussed up and crazy about me If I wasn't engaged.. I fear hwa needs a jolt. Funny thinK is that ' he . thinks the same about mas. Played eighteen, holes up at Van Courtland whh Ce-il,tbjs morning. It was great.. He plajs a nifty game and seemed surprised t my work on the course. Englishmen, I feajr, are apt to forget that American Wlrla are

?every bit as fond of out-door sports as the English. 1 can eee that there are innumerable ways in' which I "shall .have to enliglbten my misguided '"cousin before we jirt. Did' I mention by the way, that Cecil has the loveliest long and very tblack eyelashes? White on the lnk we passed a merry foursome df girls, who just couldn' drive off the sixth hole for casting cheep's eys at old Cecil. I ..was so ataused and, he was so bored. Penally after listening te their giggling and light badinage as long as he could sttand it, h; made some rude remark to tne about "ping teas on the links," and pwung his driver about in a very peevtik and masterful way. I felt sorry, for those maidens, because I Just kmew tfiat they had been fondly thinking tbajt the handsome Btranger was Watching their every move brcathlcsidy. They simply could not play golf, bitt w?iat they lacked in proficiency they msade up for with pink ribbons anid sweaters and all the perquisites so adiored by the amateur on the links. I had to let Detail know that I thought him a b?ar. and not a bit understanding of .my sex. and he laughed and told that he was not a specialist along those lines, nor ever desired to be. , I squelched him bj' beating him that hole, which as you, will agree, was j the best way to end all argument. When we bad fit lished our game we watched the sunset from the top of ari old fence, anil drank two bottles of ginger pop ai piece. Cecil told me that I was one ol' the jolliest girls he had met in a long time, lit fact

he assul ed me quite seriously that he had never dreamed that (hey came so nice ovet; here in tints Slates! I told him a few tliinga (right there and then, anl cleared tb atmosphere considerably. We; raced '.each other round one of the fields near the links, and had the btst time ever; then ran gaily up thjO steps of home Just iu time for. dinner. I may lutvebeen mistaken, but mother seemed a bit lufffed at our appearance somehow or other, and told me in thi same breath that Jack had called for me in hia ; runabout, and that dad -wanted to speak to me in his "stutty ifter dinner. Another milestone has passed in my - young career, I know. For this "study talk" is always an indicator to me. . - I sidled into dad's study and perched myself oni his knee, as familiar as you please, rutmpled his dear hair and then lifted his Vchin very gravely, and asked him what he had to say for himself, to myself? Of course he laughed and pinched my cheek, and hugged me. That's one of the secrets between us, that we have religiously guarded from mother. This familiarity when ulone! .- ; Then dad cSeared his throat," pbrtentiously and; frowned hard at me.

1 wrinkled my nose, and again we both laughed. "First of all." said dad, "I have something that may interest you, my dear," and with that he produced a box of my favorite marron glaces. That always means that dad lovets me harder than ever. (To Be Continued Tomorrow)

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 13

years old and I have five younger brothers and sisters. I am in the seventh grade and when I am through school next year 1 want to go to work. I know a girl who gets $15 a week in a factory and she does not work hard either. My mother says I will have to stay home and help with the work. I won't get any money because we are poor and I never have nice clothes. I have one brother who works and he pays board now bo that he has money besides. I won't have any good times because my folks won't let me go with fellows and my brother never takes me anywhere. Do you think it is right that I must stay home and work? My fourteen-year-old brother is in my room at school and he doesn't want to get through school because then he will have to go to work. He is lazy and mean and tries to pile all the work on me unless I tattle on him all the time. What can I do about it? MABEL. It is unfortunate that you have to leave school, but since you do, it will be better for you to slay at home than to work In a factory. The, world is not kind to the young girl" who works. She is met with Insults and temptations which she has not the strength or wisdom to resist. Besides, It would be illegal to work in a factory at your age. Until you are 18 you will have plenty to do at home. Bring as much cleanliness and happiness into your home as you can. Your brother who works will appreciate your efforts and when he realizes that you would like to go places with him probably he will taki) you. . You parents show wisdom also In objecting to your going places with boys. You are too young as yet. At the age ot 18. If you have followed the wishes of your parents, you will be grateful to them and see that in most respects they were right. There is plenty of time for you to have pretty clothes when you are older. Naturally you would like to have them now, but since you cannot, be happy in spite of your circumstances. Do not carry tales about your brother. Perhaps when he sees you are doing the right thng he will feel ashamed and change his habits. Have you read "Pollyanna"?

COUNTY DECIDES TO WAIT LONGER FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

Through County Attorney Denver C. Harlan, the county commissioners issued a statement', Satruday, to the effect that action on improvement of the New Paris. Boston and Hagerstown

pikes would be deferred because of economic conditions. The excessively high prices of road building materials, and high wages, were given as outstanding disadvantages in making the improvemnt at

present. Mr. Harlan said that within a few months it will be found out . whether prices are due for a downward curve or whether they are to 6tay upon their present level. Will Not Be Needed. "The improvement will not be needed this year and if they are undertaken at present it may mean an expenditure of $100,000 more than is necessary," said Mr. Harlan. "As it is, the desired improvements will cost near a million dollars; and the commissioners believe in face of the fact that they are spending county money they should act cautiously."

The question of improvements in I

Wayne county had been delayed awaiting action on the county unit road bill j which was Just declared constitutional on April 1, by the supreme court.

President Qrunau of the local switchmen's new association, said contracts the railroads have with the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Switchmen's Union of North America do not apply to members of his union.

"They do not affect the membership of the Chicago Yardmen's association," Grunau said, "as our members who were members of the other organizations, have, in nearly all casep, their resignations on file." NEW YORK, April 12. New York, with its back against the wall, struggled desperately today to free itself from the tentacles of the octopus

like epidemic of unauthorized railway BtrikeB. Out of the maze of conflicting reports of the new strikes called, and others threatened railroad officials professed to see a ray of hope, because some passenger service had been maintained and food and milk trains managed to creep into the city. Situation Still Grave. It was admitted by the railroad offi

cers, hewever, that the situation Vas grave, but they assumed the optimistic attitude that if they weathered today's storm, the situation would soon approach the normal. The lull in business activities over Sunday gave the railroads a breathing spell in which to marshal their tor1 in handling the tide of commute? sweeping into the metropolis. Under normal conditions 700,000 persons come to the city each day.
