The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

June 22. My mind Is in a Btate of confusion tonight. I feel singularly at sea for some unknown reason. And between you and me, little book, I am lamentably young. I wonder if

anyone can fully understand just how j tragic that is? Of course it's a dead secret, and all that, but more and more often, of late, this same realization has swept over me so I face it Quarely n6w. When you think how my bosom friends consider me a most worldlywise young person, and mother, plus the relatives, dubs me "advanced." "pert" and "over-read," etc., it is funny. They little dream that to myself I am really quite a child still. And very helplessly unsophisticated. I don't for one moment think that they would believe me if I told them this; on the contrary, they would accuse me af adopting a "new pose." That is my punishment, I suppose. The thing that puzzles me most Is my complex nature. I am trying desperately hard to discover just what sort of a girl I really am; and just what makes me think and act as I do at times. Was I born fickle and so full of life and emotions that it is impossible for me to settle to one man? Or is it that I am at an age when all men seem wonderful to me and when all that I need and crave are admiration and laughter not anything so serious as love and marriage? I wish I knew. And no one can help me in this crisis but myself. I can't talk about all these wild feelings to anyone. Prayer does not help me, it seems, nor meditation, for I have been meditating for days and never get any farther. I have about come to the conclusion that time alone will solve my torturing problems! You see, it's this way with me. 1 always really feel, deep down, that 1 want to marry Jack and that I really love him very much, and yet there are times when I can feel all my being seethe with unnamable urgings and impulses and with honest longing yet for what I do not know. Noth

ing that I can define. Just that most baffling and wonderful of all longings for the Unknown. It is not for love, nor admiration, nor art, nor in fact, anything tangible, but still 1 long Sometimes I think that it is just because I am a girl, and the heart of a girl is a strange, strange land. It is really crystal-pure and tender, yet full of flame-red possibilities. And it is so easily mis-read and mis-judged by the big, all-knowing world, that every force of civilization (and the family) is forcing me mercilessly into. They'd only laugh if I tried to explain just what I mean- to them. That's what hurts. And when I think of just what that final entrance into the whole of Life and the World means I am frightened, panic-stricken, oh, terribly, pitiably so. It's often this same fright and panicky feeling that drives me to being "pert" sort of self-protection. You know how it is, all you other girls. When you want to laugh and cry, or both, at the same time, and for no good reason why you just naturally split the difference and turn "pert," as outsiders dub it. And it's realiy a part of a girl-woman's most deep and tragicallysacred feeling. The heart of a girl, what a queer, twisted, joyful mist-land it is so easy to capture so hard to read and understand. (To be continued.)

playing. I can't say father abuses the children so that the law could get after him. They are not marked by blows. He is just ugly and lordly and makes every one stand around so that it is simply sickening. I wish I knew what

I could do about it. ELLEN. Your father seems to be within the law. It is unfair, however, that he should spend his money on other women and take yours from you. The Young Women's Christian Association

feels very strongly that a girl who is

old enough to work should have the privilege of handling her own money. She should pay a fair amount of board and have the rest. I believe it would be a" good idea for you to take home sufficient money to pay your board and deposit the rest

in the bank. Of course your father could draw your money, but he would have difficulty and the situation would be embarrassing to him. Probably he would storm and punish you, but in the end you would have your way. Find out what other girls are paying

for room and board and set your amount accordingly. After you are 18 you will be free to leave home if you think best Now you are subjected to the will of yout father as long as he stays within the law.

lor urn sayings

By Helen Rowland

- (Copyright. 1920, By The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) There are limits to what a dumb animal will stand; but a woman can talk and she will endure anything on earth, so long as you will let her go on TALKING about it! Divorce is the parachute, which lets us down safely from the storm clouds of love's "Seventh Heaven."

Of course, a man doesn't really want I

to break ANY woman's heart; but he can't help feeling secretly thrilled at the thought that he probably goes about chipping them, at every turn. This is the time of year, when a man stops bragging about his brute strength , .and begins babbling about "brain-fag", whenever his wife's eyes casually wanders toward the lawnmower and the curtain rods. A man can nobly give up a great love, for the sake of conscience or duty but it's awfully hard for him to relinquish a piquant little flirtation, that has just begun to be interesting. The whole art of marital happiness

consists in treating the person you j love best in the world as considerately and politely as you would a casual ac-.

quaintance: but you never know now hard that is, until you have to share the same flat, the same breakfast table, and the same dollar. There are no limits to what a woman can do with a man so long as he knows that she can do without him! A woman's love is composed of maternal tenderness, childlike inconsistency, torturing jealously, and sublime unselfishness and how in the world can ANY man comprehend a mixture like that? Anv woman would gladly exchange a "nice interesting face" for a retrousse nose, a dimple, or a mop of blonde lair, even though she knew it would undermine her strength of character. Alas! As long as a mar. remains a lachelor, lie simply WILL persist in thinking of himself as a universal 'temptation." Rev. Sarkiss Advocates A Modernized Church "Todav and Tomorrow, in the Pulpit and the Pew." w;is the subject of ihe sermon delivered by the Rev. Harry J. Harkiss, new pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, succeeding the Rev. E. E. Davis, at the morninp service Sunday. In part the Rev. Harkiss said: "Religion has not progressed with the limes. This is due to the fact that everything but business methods have leen used in church affairs. It takes the whole man, both physical and mental, to carry on the work of the gospel. That God is with the church is seen by the way the church has prospered in spite of the unbusinesslike methods used in most cases." Comparing the co-operation of the

pastor and the congregation to the:

relationships ot a company iormect for business enterprises, the Rev. Harkiss continued: "There are three duties I want to call your attention to. First, tho duty of the pulpit; second, the duty of the congregation; and third, the duty of the pulpit and congrecation as a church." The sermon by the Rev. Harkiss Sunday was the tirst since accepting the nastorate. Both he and his wife

are young and able workers in the j cause of the church and are welcomed1o the community.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: When in an ice cream parlor with a gentleman friend, should he order for both himself and the girl or should she order her own? JANE. He should ask her what she wants and then he should order for both. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 16 and am working and earning good wages. My father makes me give him all but two dollars a week. Even when my pay was raised it was just the same. There are seven younger children and there will be another soon. We own our home, but father will never fix up the place and so it is all run down. Father is mean to us and when he Is home he always has a strap handy to use when the children don't please him. He has even hit me several times lately. Mother is peculiar, she lets father have his own way about everything and seems to think he is all right. I feel as if I can't stand it. I have clothes to go to work in, but nothing nice for best. Father doesn't want me to go anywhere. He goes out with other women. I know this for I have seen him. I have told mother, but she either does not believe it or is so meek that she worships him anyway. It makes me angry because I feel that is why I have to give up so much of my money. He makes good pay himself and could get along if he did not spend it like that. He also makes my brothers of thirteen and fifteen go out and work when they ought to be

Once You Try Mazola You Will Never Go

Back to Lard or Butter for Cooking

or Olive Oil for Dressings OF interest to every wide-awake housewife are these important facts about the general use, tho quality and the unusual economy of Mazola.

No fat excels Mazola for deep frying. It is far better

and a great deal more economical than lard or compounds. Mazola is 100 pure vegetable fat. It contains no moisture. Butter and Lard contain moisture. The same lot of Mazola can be used over and over again even after frying fish and onions. Merely straining makes it perfectly fresh for use as a shortening. It carries no odors or flavors from the foods cooked in it'and does not smoke up your kitchen.

The purity and richness of Mazola best demonstrates itself in the fact

that ito4 less Mazola is required than that of butter or lard. This means that your cakes and pie crust will not only be light, rich and easily digested but will cost you less to prepare. Being an oil, the tiresome " cream-ing-in process" is eliminated. Mazola is always ready for instant use.

Thousands of Ital

ians, who certainly

know olive oil, use Mazola. Not only because it costs about half that of the best olive oil, but because of its richness, quality and purity. For French Dressing, Mazola blends readily and mayonnaise made with Mazola will keep for weeks

without separating
