The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

It was a wild party that we went to after the dinner.' But dear me, such fun. When I burst into the room there was one of those delightful hushes that thrill the soul of. a woman to its deepest depths. I met every- . one, and then we all settled down to much laughter, melody and munching. It was scheduled to be a wild evening. I sensed that at once and was secretly pleased-, for if there is one thing I love It is to be present at a risque party. Jack did his best to keep an eye on me at first, but gave it up as a bad job after a bit. It was fortunate for him, for whether it was my scarlet robe or my scarlet cheeks. I had a circle of admirers round me all the time. (Of course I hated that!) And that isn't all, nay, not the half of it A tall, slender dark-eyed man came over to. me, after having watched me from st far corner of the room for some time (which fact had not escap

ed my observation), dropped down beside me and explained that he had tome over to get to dance with me. He simply must dance with me, and for ever so long, says he, and I felt my spine quiver, though why I know not. We did dance, or rather we went through the motions of same, but really we were floating far above the rest of the revellers, in some dreamily vapory heaven of our own! How that man could dance. I felt nothing, a nothingness descended upon me as soon as he started, and I remembered nothing from that time until I found myself in a chair and trembling slightly when it was over. He had a tremendous magnetism, and his dark eyes bewildered me completely. Funny thing, too, for I have never been attracted to dark men, not even dear old Cecil really. It-was Just one of those inexplain-

able attractions that occur in the lives ' """" "" " and hearts of the very young, I ami to make me over tries to belittle me told, but I did not try to analyze it j before the children and others., to myself at all. Which was also i She often says she is going to leave strange, for I am a great little analyz-1 me. I told her is 6he wanted to go

er as a rule. Torture myseu veu often and unnecessarily by said habit. I only know that W1- name is Harry;

not in itself romf v f!i, but the Man is the most ivmatic figure I'fei have ever met. I His voice seemed to vibrate, and m

poor little nle vibrated to it. Perfectly ridiculous, the majority will say, but not to be gainsaid. I bowed to the inevitable.

I would divide, but it only made her

angry and she said I was not going to get rid of her. If It were not for the children I would be dead as far as she knew then she would be free. I have done all I can. I built her a good, modern house and gave her the deed, but it was not home. I wish she would leave me if she can be happier. It certtialy would be better for each of us, and a better ex

ample for the children. I think we ought to talk it over and agree to part, but I know she would only get angry at the suggestion. She seems to enjoy being miserable and certainly enjoys making others miserable. I cannot endure this life. What shall I do? I think I shall take a business trip west and it may be a long trip. I have strychnine, morphine, a good rope and

the river Is nearby. What route shall I take? DESTINY. Take a genuine business trip without traveling any of the routes you mention. You must live for the sake of the children. Separation seems the only thing. After your wife has enjoyed your absence for a few months she will probably beg you to come back. Try the experiment anyray. '-

If you have money leav it in trust with Bome reliable bank 1 o be given to her in monthly instalments. If you have the money it is outs right that you should continue to support your family. , - Life has been made particularly hard for you. Nevertheless yc must play the game and do the rifht thing as nearly as you know now regardless of the actions of other pecvple.

WAR PENSIONS

(Continued from Page One) similar claims in the United States. Minimum pension for parents who have lost eons in the war Is about $6 a week, and the maximum is about $15.50. A childless widow receives $3 a week, and a disabled man gets on the pverage of $10.

Of course Jack noticed all this, and he suddenly seemed rather glacial in my eyes. All control, all reserve, and all fiance! Of course the latter can't be helped. I wish I could explain how I felt as I danced with Harry, but I can't. He is still as vivid in my brain and being as he was when I was danc

ing with him. I can still feel the ca-1

ress of his eyes, his arms, and yet he never once over-stepped the bounds. I think it was the look of his eyes that explained to me all that he wished me to know. His dark, imperative eyes. I know that I shall dance with him again, not once, but many times. I know that he is going to figure in my life, come what may. And that I shall have nothing to say in the matter. It was all ordained aeons ago bythe gods! I can write no more. I am too exhausted in every way. I seem to have lived through some tremendously emotional period in my life this evening, and strange to say my own Jack was merely an onlooker. I am the most puzzling person to myself. And yet I am by no means a sphinx (To be continued.)

PRINCE'S JUNKETS ANNOY The empire trips of the Prince of Wales are not so popular with his subjects as one is sometimes led to believe. The common people, especially who are burdened with taxes to the limit, cannot arouse much enthusiasm over the fact that it cost the prince $50,000 or more to have a good time across the Atlantic. The government lacks money for housing and proper-provision for its service men and there is a strong sentiment that when the country is "broke" the heir apparent should stay at home and help save what little money there is in the exchequer. "Red" orators, and they are frequent in the east end, use it as a strong prgument in their addresses to working class audiences. IRISH COME TO U. S. Twenty-five hundred Irish boys and girls have emigrated to the United

States since the first of the year, according to people in Dublin. Returning travellers from Ireland say the American consulate is always crowded with emigrants waiting the official visa to their passports. Most of the young men are leaving Ireland, it is said, because there is nothing there for them to do. They are sons of men with small holdings that cannot afford a living lor the offspring, and large farms are held by men who let them lie idle or use them only for grazing purposes. The girls who are going to America as a rule are expecting to enter domestic service. Most, of the emigrants have relatives in the United States who obtain their positions as soon as they arrive.

laws, Daisyi has no right to be accept-1

ed as a proper name unless it is taken in the sense of commemorating the humble but charming little flower of the field. However, Daisy is still Daisy from whichever viewpoint she is taken. The same curious coincidence is true of no ether feminine name in the English

language, and her whole etymological J

history makes an interesting circle within a circle. Daisy is either the endearing diminutive for Marguerite or she is the term for the little white flower with the heart of gold which brightens summer meadows. But, as a certain Marguerite, famed in history, was assigned the little blossom as her special flower, it in turn was called a marguerite. Daisy pleased the Anglo-Saxon ear since Marguerite is unmistakably French, and Margaret, the proper English form, carries a subtle hint of dignity and reserve. It is easy, therefore, to understand its vogue in this country, which is given to contractions and diminutives. Indeed, Henry James' much discussed novel, "Daisy Miller" very nearly succeeded in making Daisy

the generic term for American girls

The pearl is Daisy's talismanic

ftone. Its close association with the moon Dante calls the moon "La gran Margherita" promises her gentleness, purity, and beauty. Monday is her lucky day and 4 her lucky number.

Heart Problems

SUPPORT SINN FEIN. Socialists and labor supnort of The Sinn Fein movement is evident in England. Meetings are held by left wing socialists to demand self determination for Ireland and the labor party always takes the aggressive in demanding the release of hunger strikers and cessation of military rule. Up to the present time English labor has only been verbal in its sympathy toward Sinn Fein, but strike threats have been frequent enough to make the government keep a nervous eve on tho activities of Hie nartv.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A few years ago I married a good-looking and apparently affectionate girl one any man should be proud of. In all these years she has improved. In company I am proud of her appearance and tell her so. I adore her and would love her better than when a girl if she only would let me. A short time after marriage I knew
