The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

J

July 1st This day dawned red and restfve to me. I awoke before it was light, and lay here thinking. Yesterday was enough to make the most huoyant person in the word Bober up and think. It's too hot to do either, cheerfully, to my way of thinking. Recipe for Sobriety One morning In the kitchen. June 30. One luncheon to prepare for aliens. One future mother-in-law to fuss over. One one's own mother to please. One one's own small and irrepressible sister to listen to. One fatal omelette, five outraged palettes (not spelled right). One long and futile hour spent in explaining reasons for the burned omelette. Mix all carefully together, think over same for some time after finishing (which I did all last evening) and you have the reasons for, as well as the recipe for. Sobriety. Mother Edmonds departed In a sera

phic state of mind to be sure, after her awful lunch yesterday, but for some reason or other my spirits failed to reappear again. I felt flat as my luncheon and suddenly hated Jack and all his relatives. They are so insistent. They would without doubt always be insistent, and I was very foolish to exchange comparative peace and happiness for life as Mrs. Jack Edmonds, Jr. I know when I'm well off, I do. I understand now why so many artists 6tay unmarried. They just can't help themselves. Love is all right, and wonderful, but these domestic touches. From such, mercifully deliver us. Oh, Lord! I, for one, don't know how to handle such situations at all. I 'find that I become panic-stricken in the kitchen, and yet think of mother. She can do ans-thing there and njoy it! Why, even Nanny can do things that I can't. Not that I intend to let this all worry me for long. I too have my sphere and work in thij world. It's not. of a domestic pattern, but it's the work of my hands, heart and brains. It's my love child, so to ppeak. No wonder mother and I are forever misunderstanding each other. Why, we think in different spheres! Small sentence, but a huge thought. It has been known to spell tragedy. I lay awake most, of last night; for strange to say all that I went through yesterday unhappy, then restless and lonesome, loving, then creative. When'

Jack called tip In the evening I told

him I had a headache and could not see him. Then I came to this dear white refuge of mine and have been here ever since The creative spirit is upon me, and I have been evolving a new picture, to be done sometime in the near future. It was so still and inspiring here that when I locked my door on the family and duties I had a mental and spiritual orgy. How right was Beaudelaire in his, exquisite descriptions of a room one's own room and of one o'clock in the morning! The witching hour. "A chamber that Is like a reverie; a chamber truly spiritual where the stagnant atmosphere is lightly touched with rose and blue. There the soul bathes Itself in indolence made odorous with regret and desire. "Alone at last! Nothing is to be heard but the rattle of a few tardy and tired-out cabs. There will be silence now, if not repose, for several hours at least. At last the tyranny of the human face has disappeared I shall not suffer, except alone. At last it is permitted me to refresh myself in a bath of shadows." And so having read these beautiful and true words of the great master, I came out of my unhappy fit into a creative and serene spirit. In such great silences I can best create. And the brilliance of the sunrise this morning just whipped my imagination into a whirling wonder from which appeared the idea for my new picture. (To be continued.)

LILY. Lily may truthfully be said to be a flower name. Although effort has been made to concoct for it an intricate etymological history, it is best accounted for by th pure white flower with the golden tongue which gives its fragrance to the Easter season, and blooms in its happiest glory in June. Curiously enough, Lily has always been vaguely identified with Cecelia. Since the former was found difficult to trace, the Italian name Liliola v.-as thought to be one of its progenitors. It was borne by Liliola Gonzaga in 1340, but was soon softened in Italy to iliola or Cecilia. Lily is pure English and American. The Scotch have the form Lilias, made popular through Lilias RuthVen, in 1557. A Scotish ballad is also sponsor for Lillian, but in recent years the heroine of "Roswal and Lillian," who was queen of Naples, is generally referred to as Lily, and the significance of the flower is the accepted motive for its use. The diamond is Lily's talismanic Pi one. It will protect her from danger and disease and promises her victory over her enemies and the fulfillment of her ambitions. Saturday is her lucky day and 7 her lucky number. The lily is, of course, her flower.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 17. I have been going with a fellow for about three years. I went with him while at school. We have had several quarrels but have always made up. He tells me that I am the only girl he likes, and I feel the same toward him. Since we last quarreled we haven't seen each other until the other night when he came over to get an article of his which I had. I gave it back to him and told him what I thought about our situation. He still says he loves me better than anyone else. After we had the last quarrel he started going with another girl who was not at all decent. Now he says he wants to go with me again, but I told him I was ashamed to go on the street with him after he had been going with this other girl, because other

j people would think I was just like

ner. He felt very bad about it and I told him I had a good reputation and didn't want to lose it. He had done things other times and I always excused him and said- I would give him another chance but he didn't reform, so I gave him up. I still say I love him better than anyone else, and would always be happy with him. Please advise me what to do in this case. Thank you very much. "UNLUCKY." Dear "Unlucky": I believe you should give the young man a chance to be your friend, but not by allowing Lim to begin coming to see you immediately. If he is really desirous of having you for a good friend he will understand that your reputation is the most valuable asset you possess and will wish to do nothing to destroy it. Therefore, tell him that if he straightens up, and in seen only in

What Every Man Thinks About Women By Helen Rowland

Mrs. Medill McCormick with her children, Medill, Jr., and Katrina. This is a new picture of Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of the Illinois senator and a daughter of the late Mark Hanna. She has won national fame by her efforts in support of the equal suffrage cause.

good company for two months you will consent to a renewal of your friendship. If he does not care to do this it will be proof enough that his friendship is worth little. Such a man would make a very poor husband. I hope you are not thinking of the young man as a lover at your age. Again and again in this column I have to discourage young girls and young men against premature or "puppy" love. Look into the records of any divorce court and the answer will be plain enough. A large number of divorce cases and other home unhappinesses are the result of boys and girls foolishly marrying before they have lived their girlhood and boyhood unhampered by the ties of co-operative living and home-making, and before either was old enough to really know what love is. You all think you know! Yes, I know that's what you'll say, but a test of five years will either prove to you that you were right or wrong. If you were wrong you will thank your lucky star you waited; if you are right it will be time enough for you to marry. Mrs. Thompson. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl, fair complected, with blue eyes and a rather full face, and I want to know how to comb my hair in the latest style. I have been wearing ear puffs and bangs but I get tired of that, way all the time. Please tell me another way. Also please telk me the

most pBpular way for serving refreshments to about 20 guests. Should they te served indoors or out. Also please name some appropriate games and tricks for a party. Yours, thankfully, V. C. B. Dear "V. C. B.": Let your bangs grow out and bring your side hair back loosely from your forehead without 'puffing" it, then use a French roll at the back, bring it a little high if your face is full. A hair net will keep your hair in place for a week or two if it insists upon falling back into the old puffs. Butter wash your hair before you begin the new style. It is quite immaterial from a social point of view whether you serve your guests indoors, or on an outside porch or the lawn. Do whichever is most convenient to you considering also the weather. Because of lack of space I can not describe games and tricks here, but would suggest that you procure some home magazine in which there is usually a game page.

(Copyright, 1920. by The Wheeler Syndicav. Inc ) Every man thinks that woman's place is In the home but that she's awfully lucky to have a man offer her one. That woman's "sphere is marriage but that she should never think about it, except in the beautiful abstract until some man mentions it to her. iThat woman was "made for love" tut that it is "unwomanly" and unreasonable for her to love any man until he asks her to. That woman's first duty is to be beautiful but that she should scorn to resort to any of the little first aids to beauty if the Lord didn't make her that way. ! That she should cultivate her mind and then be content to concentrate it all on what to feed a man for dinner. That she should have a sweet, abiding faith in men but never take one of them seriously in a sentimental affair, until he tells her to. That slie should have beautiful ideals yet consider them all fulfilled

when she succeeds in marrying a fat little man with a bald spot, a double

chin, and a passion for pinochle.

That she should be indignant when a

man tries to kiss her and disappoint e.d when he doesn't.

That she should languish when he

doesn't propose to her and drop dead

with astonishment when he does.

That she should dream of the com

ing of her Prince Charming but never go out and grab the bridle of his horse, when she sees him riding straight past. That she should yearn and yearn and yearn for a husband but never make the slightest effort to capture one. That, when she promises to "love and honor" a man, she should go right on doing it, automatically, no matter WHAT he does to discourage her. That she should tie a man to her

forever by giving him all the rope he vants. That she should agree with all a man's opinions, approve of all his ways, and applaud all his jokes yet ntver flatter him or deceive him. That she should regard marriage as a matter of blind luck, a husband as a heaven-sent blessing, and spinisterhood as her own fault. That she should play the Game of Life like a "dead game little sport," gracefully, skilfully, successfuly with all the cards stacked against her. That she should be able to swim without going near the water, to cook without lighting the fire and to dance through life like a dryad with a chain and ball attached to her ankle. And then and THEN when she

does all these things.

Homeless Boys Now

Will Have Something CHICAGO The stray boy who for

dinner nauens nis nose against iue ,

bakery windows and who at night sleeps with grown-up tramps in the park or in the back alley shed, will come upon better days if the plan of George W. Brown, of Chicago, works out. A hotel for boys, to be operated so far as feasible by boys, and fitted up In a way to attract the youngster who finds himself in vast Chicago temporarily, or permanently without a home, is the idea of Mr. Brown, who for a decade, has given most of his time to volunteer work among homeless boys. His work has brought him

in touch with juvenile court officials in many cities and he has enlisted their support in his efforts to obtain a "transient hotel for boys" between the ages of fourteen and seventeen. Joseph Tumulty, the president's secretary, a schoolmate of Mr. Brown, has lent his aid to some of Mr. Brown's boy betterment schemes. "The Y. M. C. A. conducts in Chicago a transient hotel for men, a high skyscraper calculated to give its tenants clean surroundings, morally and physically, but homeless boys under seventeen, hundreds of whom drift into Chicago every week, may rely on the dangerous expedient of seeking a rooming house, or, if withous funds, may sleep behind ash barrels." Mr

Brown said. "I have housed scores of these boys in my home until jobs and recurrent pay days lifted them off th rocks and I know what even a few days of decent surroundings can do for them. - "The large and properly conducted hotel for which we are working and which will not be a 'boys' home.' will be equipped to do for thousands and thousands of kids what my feeble efforts have accomplished for a few hundred."

THE need for food has the world in its grip. To produce more food we must depend upon gasoline power on the farm to multiply the efficiency of the man-power available. The following interesting comparison of man-power, vs. machine-power, required per acre is Ruminating:

The United States has changed from an agricultural into a semi-industrial nation. Never again will it see the day when 97 percent of its population dwells on farms. Yet the fact remains that the United States must feed itself, and the only-way this can be done is through intensive soil cultivation, made possible by automotive machinery. On the farms of the Middle West the gasoline tractor, truck, and automobile are multiplying the productiveness of man-power, and are doing their part in furnishing an adequate supply of food stuff. Throughout this great section the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has developed a system of distribution which insures the farmer an adequate supply of gasoline and lubricating oils. This system is based upon huge storage depots, fed from three large modern refineries. Anticipation of possible difficulties is but one of the many burdens the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) assumes in order that consumers of the Middle West may have their wants supplied.
