The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

Mrs. Edmonds called this evening and I enjoyed a real tete-a-tete with my future mother-in-law. She Is a kindly soui, I'm sure, and simply adores her boy Jack. Prom eight o'clock until ten I heard more about Jack and his little peculiarities and ambitions (no faults of course) than I have ever heard in all the time I have known him. Mamma Edmonds just confided In me the sweetest way imaginable. I never dreamed she could unbend so much. Last time I saw her was at tea with several other women present, so I suppose she felt that it was up to her to play the somewhat distant, though cordial, grande-dame and all that, but this trip, such a difference! Among other things she assured me fiat it wasn't to many young women of the present day she'd relish giving up her son to but I was an exception. Sweet words in my young ear. Jack, it seems, is the apple of her eye. The rest of her household are dear to her, of course, but not in quite the same way as he has always been. Then Mrs. Edmonds told me how carefully she had brought Jack up, how devoted she had always been, and how he had been petted, adding that she just knew that he was passing on into as tender hands as her own (meaning mine!). By this time I was commencing to distinctly resent Jack and his many virtues, but held my peace. The conversation continued. Once or twice in the middle of some of her most impassioned publicity for her son 1 was tempted to tell my future mother-in-law that she was making a grave mistake in entrusting him to my care, for 1 was woefully lacking in the many virtues that she considered essential for the wife of her boy to possess, but serious

reflection caused me to hold my counsel. After all, as I reflected, mothers of sons are the same the world over and always will be. Time, not tide nor daughters-in-law can ever change them. Voila! After nearly two hours intimate conversation I invited Mrs. Edmonds up to my room to look at my trousseau or rather some of it. I wisely decided not to spring all the Frenchy 'pretties" on her just now, and arm in arm we ascended the stairs. She gurgled over my clothes but eyed up my set of De-Maupassant through her lorgnette, coldly, I thought! Then to my discomfiture I saw her eyes she seems to have more than two, or four, somehow fix themselves, with a terrifying rigidity on a flagrant photo of Cecil (just acquired) looking his most devil-may-care-and-delighted, and signed "Fondly Cecil"! By this time, however, 1 was too worn out with suppressions to attempt any explanations to my visitor and instead 1 firmly drew her attention to an exquisite set of underwear that I had bought at a bargain. One of the few, by the way. "It's all very lovely, Lindsey, dear," she said, through her lorgnettes "And aren't there any any hand-worked 'pretties' for the bride?" (This with a sweet smile, of course.) They always smile when they spring one of these on you. "Oh, no, indeed, dear Mrs. Edmonds 1 don't sew," says I brutally. "I paint." Not long afterwards, to be truthful, very rapdily afterwards, Mrs. Edmonds departed and I collapsed. I'm still here, and collapsed. But not quite annihilated yet It must be my youth that keeps me up! (To be continued.)

Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elisabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband's parents have sold their home in a nearby town and have moved in with us for the winter. They intend to build soon and will be with us until June, I think. My mother-in-law and I have never got along, but I made up my mind when she came into my home I would do all in my power to agree and get along. I gave her the best room in my home and do all the washings and ironings for her. She has what 1 call pouting spells; sometimes I would talk to her and she would not answer me, and after I would leave the room I could hear her mumbling to herself; sometimes I have asked her what she was saying and she would curl up her nose and not

answer.

ing to leave; we can't get along." I tell her to do her part and I will do mine and there will be no trouble. When I wash she puts in a few clothes and does the rest in the bathtub and hangs them aVound the tub to dry, and once ehe soaked some things and stuck them under the mattress on her bed, and 1 happened to see them and took them out, and that made her mad. If I don't eat at the table when we have company then she begins on me, saying, "I wouldn't eat because she was there." She tells my father-in-law things about me to make him angry at me and sometimes he has pouted also, but not like her. She never says one thing to me when my husband is here, and when I tell him of some things she has

done and said to me he won't answer

about what she has done. I feel desperate at times when I have no one to talk to only my husband, and he won't talk to me on the subject. I can't stand this many more times. If my husband would even say a few words when his mother treats me like this I could bear it all. Will you please give me some good advice? TROUBLE. Fortunately June is hot far off. If you use great will-power you can manage to get along until then. Seal your lips tight when your mother-in-law is unreasonable. If you refuse to talk she will get tired of her scolding. Do not let her see you cry; instead, drop your work and leave the house. . It is difficult for most women to realize that housework can be put aside. Your nerves need more attention than the washing, ironing and dusty rooms. It is quite unreasonable for you to expect to do all the work alone. Therefore get the meals and do what you can comfortably and let the rest slide. Days when the situation seems too much for you, stay in bed. It would not be a lie to say you are ill, because conditions have certainly made you

sick mentally. Since no one consid-1

ers you, you will have to look out for yourself. From now on remember to keep silent and do not even talk over your troubles with your husband. Silence will be far more effective. It would be well to have a talk with your husband after his parents leave and make it clear to him that you will not go through a similar ordeal again, and that out of respect for you and your health he should not ask it.

Bachelor Girl Sayings By Helen Rowland

Every friend is a 'looking-glass and we love the flattering ones best. Why should any man have an aversion to marrying a flirt? A girl who has been kissed before is much less likely to wonder, after marriage, how other men make love. Marriage is like a tireless cooker. They toughest, if they remain in it long enough, sometimes come out sweet and tender. Once upon a time you could be a teetotaler if you wanted to; but now, if you decline a man's offer to lead you to his wine cellar, he acts as hurt as though you had beaten his only child. Marriage is not a failure. Some

husbands and wives may be failures but so are a lot of sculptors and artists and writers and others requiring a highly specialized genius.

To the average mother "leisure" is

that sweet interval in which all the rest of the family are busy trying toi find something else for her to do. i The thing that-has driven more! women to take the train for Reno and i more men to take the downward path ! than anything else is the tendency to!

subsitute German kultur for French politeness, after marriage. Next to canned herring, the most quickly and easily "spoiled" thing on earth is a husband. Consult your husband about his tastes in food and his meal-hours, but never about your own clothes. If you must consult somebody about, your own personal affairs oh, well, consult an alienist.

What's in a Name

(Copyright)

ELSIE From a casual survey, it seems almost incredible that Elsie and Adelaide should be practically the same name. Yet such is the case, since Elsie is the last and most contracted English form of popular Adelaide. Signifying "noble cheer," Elsie has its source in the old Teutonic prefix "Aethel" or "Adel," meaning noble. Adalheit was one of the first feminine names formed from it and was much in use among the daughters in Frankland. Adelheid. another form.

named many of the feudal princesses j of the tenth and eleventh centuries.!

Adelaide is the French and English version. Elsie is the seventh step in the succession of the English favorite. It is reached through Adeliza, Adela, Alice, Alicia. No other country has ever used It, except Germany, which has an old form, Else, very popular among the peasants. In this country, however, Elsie is a distinct name, free of all previous association with Ade

laide or its other immediate predeC68SOFS. Malachite is'' Elsie's lucky stone. It Is an Egyptian gem which, to be lncky, should be engraved with an image of the sun. For Elsie it promises peace and protection from all evil. It is likewise a cure for insomnia and, according to old superstition, is particularly lucky for children, giving them sound sleep and immunity from disease if attached to their cradles. Tuesday is Elsie's lucky day and 6 her lucky number.

She began jerking the ironed things off the line and throwing them across her arm; I stood and watched her and cried. She jawed because I have my big meals in the evening, and about washing so many dishes. She follows me in the basement and upstairs, nagging at me and trying to t)ick a fus. She says. "I am so-

Could Not Stoop or Bend Over for He Got So Dizzy Richmond Man Had a Lazy Liver Kidneys So Weak Often Had to Get Up Several Times During the Night Bowels Were Constipated. He Now Declares All These Troubles Have Been Overcome Since Taking the Great Root and Herb Remedy, Dreco. "Sometimes I'd get so dizzy that T

ould not stoop or bend over for I'd feel like I was going to fall," said Mr. Tobiac Huffman, who lives at 423 X. 16th St., Richmond, Ind. "The pains in my back and limbs were terrible, which I knew came from my kidneys and some nights I'd be up five and six times. My muscles had that dull, twitching, aching feeling almost constantly. My nerves were so unsteady that I could not sleep to do an good and some nights I'd get out of bed and sit up. "My appetite failed and I became weakened and was losing my vitality. I became sensitive and oftentimes irritable. My bowels were badly constipated so that I had to take medicine for them most every night . "I am surprised at my own self, the v'ay I feel those days. Why I'm feeling years younger and full of enersry pnd ambition. The Dreco has sure done me lots of good. All these aches find pains are gone: my liver has been cleaned off nicely. My kidneys strengthened so that I sleen all night without getting up once. My bowels move regular without the aid of medicine as before. My nerves are quieted; Lave a fine appetite and everything seems to agree with me. I haven't had a dizzy spell since I took Dreco." Any remedy that restores the natural functions of the body is a healthgiving remedy. The use of Dreco, the preat herb remedy, tends to restore the appetite, to procure natural digest'on, which is followed' by an increased circulation and nutrition of the whole body. Lean, haggard, bloodless people begin to gain weight, strength, and fesh at once from taking Dreco. as they themselves declare in signed testimonials.
