The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips .

We drove to the restaurant, and as why, it makes me laugh." Some, stuI slipped out of my evening wrap and pid explanation that, I'll say, but the stood revealed in all my loveliness, I thought of soup had reached madden3aw any number of people stare hard ing proportions in my mind, so I wiseat me, which amused me muchly.

was very Hungry. At that acknowledgment Jack became all attention, and he ordered an exquisite dinner. I forgot every once in a while during the ardors of eating
that I was a wild and vagrant princess, but it worried me not at all. Especially as Jack told me several times that I looked beautiful, and that he knew that every man in the room en

was creating a sensation, and I felt somehow that it was due me. Jack uttered a startled exclamation, as I shimmered before his gaze, but he seemed to have been suddenly stricken speechless. "You look gorgeous, Lindsey," he volunteered from the region of his boots, it seemed to me. "But where, how, why did you get that color?"- I flirted my scarlet fan open at his question, and com
menced to fan myself languidly, as all queens do, before answering. Then with a slow smile I told him that I had bought it at ten o'clock in the morning. We meandered to a discreet table, somewhat screened off from the rest of the room, which disgusted me, though it seemed to please Jack, and then he leaned over the table and looked into my eyes very hard, as though he was trying to read the thoughts of this new Lindsey person! 1 remained immovably- serene and lovely, despite his possessive scrutmy, and was secretly tickled at the sensation I had created in his business-like breast. Dear, funny Jack. I must certainly strike him as being an unexpected person. But he loves me for that very reason, I know. The instinct of the very young is unerring, believe me. To my utter discomfiture. Jack suddenly put back his head and laughed and laughed, till I thought he had taken leave of his senses. It was a humiliating moment for me. Here was I playing a new role for the first time in ages, and heing met with laughter! I waited coldly for his mirth to subside, then in my most woman of the world tones asked him what caused him, so much amusement. He laughed all over again at this question, and got "me to a point where I
felt that in a second more I should feel forced to rise from the table and
sweep from the room in a way befit-
. ting a princess. The only thing that kept me from acting on this ancient
impulse was the fact that I was hungry, tremendously so. Dinner at that moment seemed more necessary than subtlety, if you get me. So I decided to drop my eyes and look pensively at the cloth, anywhere but at that hilarious countenance opposite my fiance. "Well, little girl, bless your heart. 1 was just laughing at nothing in particular," explamed fiance, finally, "but syou are surh a bewildering creature, sometimes I forget just what the real you is like, and when I remember

You will be happier in the end it you work for yeace and keep your troubles to yourself. Very few men would be sym-1-athetic in circumstances like yours.

LORETTA Loretta should by right of origin be spelled Lauretta. Its present accepted form is due to the Italian influence which destroys the French "au" and supplies the letter equivalent to its pronunciation. Loretta signifies '"laurel," but there is considerable difference of opinion in regard to her source. Some etymologists believe that it is taken from the masculine Laurus and that the ladies so called should c. sider St. Laurence as their patron, others contend that it is taken from the Greek word laura, meaning avenue, and applied to the clusters of hermitages which eventually formed the nucleus of monasteries. A religious interpretation is that the name Lauretta was evolved to commemorate the laurel grove, or loreto, to which the
France's Terrible Losses Are Shown by Tardiea PARIS, May 21. What is perhaps the first concise and comprehensive statement of France's war losses has lust Been made by Capt. Andre Tardieu, former French high commission
er in the United States. In describing what he calls the balance sheet of France, Capt. Tardieu states that
during the five years of the war 8,000,000 men were mobilized, of whom 1,400,00 were killed, 800,000 maimed and 300,00 wounded. France thus lost 57 per cent of her men under 32 years of age. Concerning material losses, Capt. Tardieu states that 60,000 houses were
WANTED TO FIND MOTHER
MARION MAN HAS FOURTEEN LIVING GRANDCHILDREN Veteran of the Civil War, now residing at the Soldiers' Home, relates an interesting story. Praises the new remedy, Dreco, for relieving kidney, liver and bowel trouble.
"Yes sir. I have fourteen grandchildren, all living, and I'm proud of every one of them." said Mr. George
i Miller, the '76 Civil War veteran, residing at the Soldier's Home, Marion, Ind. Mr. Miller served two years with Co. C., 11th Indiana Cavalry, and saw some hard service. "For some time past I've been greatly bothered with constipation and had to take medicine for it nearly every day. My kidneys were also weak and troubled me; I had backache and my limbs ached. I got pretty dizzy somet'mes, which I knew came from a sliggish liver. My nerves were on edge so that my sleep was broken every night and I'd get up every niornir.g tired out. "I kept reading about Dreco, and what people all around here said about it, so I got a couple of bottles, and I tell you it has made a change in me. I feel fine. My bowels move regularly; don't have any more backache, and my liver has been cleaned off fine. I sleep soundly and awake feeling refreshed and have a splendid appetite. Dreco has helped me so much that many of my comrades are taking it al?o." Dreco is not a cnro-all, but is an excellent remedy for rheumatism, catarrh, blood disorders', liver and kidney trouble and constipation. There are many diseases that are due in the beginning to faulty action or sluggishness of the organs of elimination. If
these orgons fail to perform their! duty, as intended by Nature, the j poisons that should pass out of the system, remain and are sucked up by ! the blood, and carried to different ! rarts of the body. Such troubles as j pas on the stomach, indigestion, sick- j headache, poor circulation, cold feet, j poor appetite and nervousness can be j
traced in many cases to poor elimination. Dreco is now sold by all good druggists and is being especially introduced in Richmond by Clem Thistleth-v.-aite's Seven Drug Stores. Advertisement.

mm,
Some housewives just' seem to bo natural born cooks. A luncheon at their homes is always looked forward to and remembered long after it is past. Their success, while it is due largely to their ability, does not depend entirely on that. Even the best of , cooks can produce better results if she uses a better flour. Valier's Enterprise Flour represents the pinnacle of modem ' milling skill, ft is ground carefully from selected hard wheat, fully matured and rich in gluten. Such grain is very scarce and commands a high premium on the market Yet we consider no other.

In reality it does not; for its high quality eliminates unnecessary, wasteful failures and gives More Loaves Per Sack
