The Diary of an Engaged Girl )

By Phyllis Phillips

Well, here it ia the end of June. unU most everybody Is fleeing to the country but ourselves. Father has had to change our sailing date from July 16 to August 1. Business reasons, of course, but somehow or other I am not in the least put out. It is not cool here in town, by a Ion? shot, but 1 am to spend a few days with Jean and Dorry down at "Hope Hamlet," which is the name of their tiny little bungalow on the Sound, so that helps some. Aunt Cecilia is to chaperone us; so everything seems just right. Fancy anyone taking Aunt Cecilia seriously as a chaperone. Why, she's just a welcome addition to the happy party, which is not what can be truthfully said of most chaperones, as anyone will agree that is, anyone under twenty-five. We have all suffered from this type of social necessity at some period in our young lives, and no doubt we all could tell the same tales about them. Chaperones as a class' are invariably

kill-joys, natural born enemies of free

dom and youth. They are responsible for many old maids I know, and seem to live to devise ways and means for keeping the young idea in the ugly und narrow path that our mid-Victorian ancestors worked out for themselves; less power to 'em! Jack is to come down to Hope Hamlet one day, and the rest of the time we shall be to ourselves.

Went to an exhibition of Marsden

Hartley's at The Daniell's Gallery to

Being The Confessions of I Seven-Hundreth Wife. I By Helen Rowland

(Copyright. 1920. by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) Ueing the Confessions of the SevenHundredth Wife) A perfect lady, how shalt thou know one? For lo, no longer do a fur coat and ,u .solitaire make a "lady", nor three "motor cars a "gentleman." Verily, verily, thou shalt know a ldy, by her gingham frock and by the fact that she looketh like a "lady" IX it! Thou shalt know her by her "overalls," wherein she cleane'h her house and planteth her garden with her OWN hanUs. Thou shalt know her by the patches on her shoes, by her mended gloves, and by the scars of the cook-stove v.pon her fingers. Thou shalt descry her in the marketp'ace, where she seeketh for the "cheaper cuts"; thou shalt spot her in the tabernacle by her last year's hat; thou shalt detect her in the tea room by her home-made manicure and her modest "tip." But, most of all, shalt thou know l'.er ty her exultations and her boastings, when she praiseth her own fruk'alit, and braggeth of her thrift, tayiig: "Economy is my motto. I shall NOT s peid! "3ehold. I have parted from my mads, and am doing mine OWN cookin?, and it is exceedingly good! 'Of an Irish stew I have become a at-mistress; from yesterday's pork ctops, I have learned to make pate-de-

fds-gras, and from left-over veal to

ftshion chicken-a-la-king! "I have pressed mine !vsband's coat xith mine own hands, and have mend

ed the pockets thereof, that his small!

change may not fall out. "Three times, have I made OVER 1 his frock: and this hat which thou i.dmirest hath seen as many seasons as a paseee belle. "Surely, surely, ! am modish! " For KCOXOM i is the height of fashion, and frugality is "refined." "And only the Vulgar are extravagant!"' Go to, my Daughter! How shalt thou distinguish a lady )om her cook? Even by the all-silk rustle of the cook and by the cotton hose of the lady! By the haughtiness of the handmaiden and by the industry of the mistress! For the honest laborer and his spouse may ride in limousines and laugh at the high cost of "flivving."

college professor must walk and save gasoline! And a lady Is known by Ihe. scraps M'c saves! Sflah.

THIS SPRING TAKE

Hood's Sarsaparilla A Good BloodPurifying Tonic Medicine. It is a medicine in which the people ran and do have entire confidence as pure, clean and safe. All the claims made for it are justified by the testimony of the gratifying results attending its use in a multitude of cases of scrofula, eczema or salt rheum, psoriasis, blood-poisoning, catarrh and rheumatism, and of loss of appetite, that tired feeling, and low or run-down conditions common in the spring. It is not adulterated; it is not mlsbrandod. but honestly labelled. It originated in a physician's prescription and is recommended and used by many physicians today. It. has a record of nearly 50 years of wonderful success. Hood's Sarsaparilla "makes food taste good." Get it today. If you need a mild laxative or cathartic, take Hoods Pills. Advertisement.

me to come down and pose for him one afternoon. Of course I did not promise to do so, for it requires a considerable amount of deliberation but I may. He is a dear boy and clever. After all there is no harm in posing, and it does help a fellow artist out. Had a romantic collision with a very handsome and unknown man later on in the afternoon. Fate threw us into each other's arms, literally speaking! I got on a bus at Fiftythird street, and as it started up with me clinging valiantly to the railing, and my foot on the fourth step from the ground, it gave a sudden lurch and I went backwards, right into the steadying arms of a tall and tanned

stranger. He acted "nobly, under the circumstances, for I knew that he was just dying to laugh, but for my sake kept his, face straight. It was one of those occasions when there's just no use to be haughty. I was placed in an embarrassing position, so the only thing to do was to grin. I did same. So did said handsome stranger. I staggered up the steps again, and he was forced to share m.y seat, for all other places were filled. Then we looked at each other and broke into fits of laughter. We rode uptown together, and I discovered that he was an Australian, but a short time in this country, and very lonely. This touched me, of course, and we chatted merrily and quite like old friends until the bus reached the end of the trip. Then we decided to take it all the way back to Washington Square again. Sum mer breezes do queer things to one, I must say. His name is Bradford, Leslie Bradford, and he is over here studying 'ways and means for something or other. Anyway what does it matter, he is charming and good to look at. I require no more in a man in warm weather.

Mr. Bradford is a gentleman, and ;

so lonely that I invited him to come to see us. Hope it is all right with the family. (To be continued.)

Any woman would look a vision across the breakfast table when wearing a cap like this. A bride need never fear facing young husband at the early meal if she has such a delightful little boudoir cap in her trousseau. It is made of flesh colored georgette crepe with two-toned picot edged ribbon put on in an interesting design, while the streamers hanging down at the side lend a pretty effect to the profile.

What's in a Name

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I don't know why it is, but everywhere I work some married man falls in love with me I am not the kind of girl you will think. I do not rouge or wear loud clothing and I do absolutely nothing to encourage the men. Perhaps my great curse is being pretty. I don't want to brag, but I must confess I am blessed or cursed with what my friends call beauty. Four times within a year I have changed my position because sonw married man has -loved me. Now I find the same condition, only this time it is not my employer. I really don't know what to do because I do not want to stay where I will ruin another person's happines. What would you advise? M. K. L. As long as you are not working for the man you can disregard his attentions until he becomes discouraged. I believe you will find that without, any encouragement on your part his infatuation will soon die.

FURS AND MYSTERY. By PALAIS ROYAL This is the first of a series of

articles entitled "Furs and Mystery," that will appear from time to time for many weeks to come. We have adopted this method of throwing the light of publicity on the subject of "Furs," which is a dark spot to the average person. There ha3 been too much of the "cat-in-the-bag" mystery about furs, therefore this series of educational articles, written by one who is thoroughly familiar with every phase of the fur industry, so that as far as Richmond is concerned, all who read these articles may buy furs Intelligently. NOTE As only one species can be treated at one time, the certain fur you may be interested in tmay not come into print for some time, but by calling at our store or writing we will "be pleased to give you authentic information on practically any kind of fur on the market. Whether you intend making your purchase here or not has absolutely no bearing ou this service. Natural Fur Seal, and there is only one species though found iu various place:-, is a rare animal whose fur is of such quality and beauty that the meager supply cannot begin to fill the demand. It is not surprising, therefore, that a variety of substitutes have been produced to serve in Nature's stead some good, some bad, many quite iudiffereut. Right here is where we do not want to got out of step good substitutes, when sold honestly as such, are not by any means to be condemned, especially when the genuine article, because of its scarcity, is beyond the financial reach of mauy who would enjoy it. It. is the common practice of unreliable fur dealers, however, to mislead the public by a number of high sounding so-calh d ' Trade Names'" that have no place In legitimate business. In this article and the series that will follow, the writer shall turn the light of truth into many dark and mysterious corners. t "Hudson Seal," "Near Seal," "Electric Seal." "Baltic Seal," "French Seal" and similar "species." are in no sense seal. Each is the skin of some other animal from which, like seal itself, the coarse hairs have been extracted Jiy machinery. Skillful dyeing completes the imitation, which in some instances can scarcely be detected from the genuine. Of all substitutes, the so-called "Hudson Seal" excels. In reality it is muskrat, which is a very good fur in itself and may creditably be sold as a fine seal Imitation, provided it IS sold as an imitation and NOT as a species of seal, presumably from the vicinity of Hudson Bay. 'French Seal" and "Baltic Seal" are disguising titles for seal-dyed coney, a small animal that is found in France. As a skin, coney does not rank as high as muskrat, but that does not necessarily prevent Its being used as an imitation of seal at its proper price level, provided again it IS sold as sealdyed coney and NOT as a foreign species of genuine seal.

ELIZA Eliza is another of the Elizabeth cycle of feminine names. With the single exception of Mary, there is no ether name in the language of any country which has so many full-grown full independent offsprings. Eliza, which at first glance, would seem to be only Elizabeth with one syllable removed, has really an interesting little history of her own. The name means of course, "God's oath." The Divine title known to man before special revelation to Moses in the burning bush was the Hebrew word El, which corresponds to our term Diety. This word served as a prefix to many Biblical proper names. The first was Elieser. the name of Abraham's steward who went to bring home Rebecca. Later the name changed to Eleazai and was applied to Aaron's eldest surviving son. Following this bit of etymological history, Eliza would seem more likely the feminine of Eleazar than a mere contraction of Elizabeth. The latter explanation is however, most generally adhered to, due perhaps to the influence of Elizabethan poetry and

drama, which endeavored to improve on the name of the good queen, by terming her Eliza. The popularity and prevalence of Eliza became widespread early in the nineteenth century and there are frequent instances of both names being given in baptism to different children in the same family. The aquamarine is Eliza's talismanic gem. It promises her travel and change and many new friends. Saturday is her lucky day and 2 her lucky number.

ONE of. the outstanding features of the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is its ability to expand to meet conditions. In 1919 there were 1,434,909 more motor vehicles in the United States than in 1918. This enormous increase in automotive power made necessary a vast increase of distribution facilities in order that your car. wherever it might be, should never lose its usefulness because of an empty gasoline tank. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) anticipated this increasing demand and met it amply in the 1 1 states it serves with a fleet of 4306 motor trucks, a caravan of horsedrawn wagons, and a little army of 530,000 iron barrels, so that even in remote districts, no tractor, truck or pleasure car, need be without fuel at any time. Take into consideration the fact that of the 1,434,909 new motor vehicles put into service in 1919, approximately 573,964 went to farms, and you will appreciate the necessity for this vast distributive system. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) appreciates that the automobile has passed from the realm of luxury and has become an essential, and that gasoline to run it has become an industrial necessity. The Company takes pride in the fact that it has met this need in the spirit of service, that it has been keen in anticipating the wants of the public and efficient in satisfying them through the most perfect distribution system in the world.
