The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

Aa I lay In bed a-dreaming, mother knocked on my door and reminded me thatI had undertaken to get the family breakfast today, which I had. There -was nothing to do but Blng out In my gracious tones. "Down in a minute. Muddy dear." I kept my word, too. It will strike you as strange that after my fatal experience as a cook yesterday, I .should put my neck in the noose again, of my own volition. But I shall continue to do so until we secure the services of a new cook. It's not fair to let little mother do it all, and even if the family does suffer at my unskilled hands, thank goodness it is only the family. That fact means a whole lot. I managed to get up quite a fair breakfast, and without much groaning either, .which is the acid-test for me. The family enjoyed it and were loud in their praise of me, which helps much. I am fervently hoping, however, that mother gets a cook quickly. I have other work to do which needs all of my attention, and getting lunch and breakfast every day means renouncing much, I can tell you. I helped interview, or rather helped mother being interviewed by some dozen of the haughty and elusive queens of the kitchen, this morning, but ehe didn't pass the board of censors in any case, for some reason or other. I suspect that it was Lindsey who was being secretly sized up, and put down as "not desirable" but my mother didn't get that. It was a picnic to sit and watch and hear them at their game of consequences! It strikes me that what

the cook of today is after, is some land where there is nothing to do. She ean't be seriously on the lookout for work, for she coujd never ask the silly questions she does if honest, oldlashioned labor was her object. And the way she gets herself up! Dear me. the funny cartoons in the evening papers are mild compared to some we were interviewed by this morning. One fusny little French woman who applied was so over-dressed and sensational-looking that she seemed to have stepped right from some cafe in the Hue de la Gaitie, Paris, and seemed in need of any sort of work in the world but cooking. However, she explained (fortunately lor the family stomach) that she was an artiste out of luck, and that this position was to be but fleeting or words to that effect. She had been a danseuse in Paris, and been tricked into coming to New York and was now penniless. Of course mother and T sympathized with her and all that, but we did not

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson:! am a young girl 18 year sold. I am in love with a young man 19 years old. It. just seems as if I can't live without him. I went with him for five months and learned to love him, and I think he loved me to, too. T was supposed to meet him in church one night and I did not go. He got angry because I did not go. and after that he did not call up or ask to take me any place. I miss him awfully. Whenever we met we always speak. He seems to be very nice but never comes up to meet and talks. I have been to quite a few places where he was, but he never came up to me. Is it my place to go to him and talk? Do you think he still loves me? What shall I do? Would it bo right for me to call him up or write to him. or shall I wait until he writes first? BROKEN -HEARTED. A young person of 19 can not be expected to have a lasting love. The young man probably found some other girl he liked, better and therefore used your disappointing him as an excuse to break away from you. Do not try to start a conversation with him; if he wants to talk to you he will find a way. It would also be foolish to phone or write to him. Stop thinking about him and in a surprisingly short time you will find you no longer care for him. Dear Mrs. Thompson I ..am a girl 20 ears old and I am very much in love with a man 15 years older than I am. Is there any harm in going with him? BLUE EYES. You know better than any one else whether there is any harm in going with the man. A man of that age shows very quickly whether or not he has lost his ideals and whether he respects women. Unless you gain something worth while from your friendship with him and unless you are sure he is a good man, do not spend time with him. Fifteen years is a great difference in your ages and I doubt if you would be happy together for any length of time.

Editor Palladium: As well might one expect to find in New York, the Bowery in its old Dutch state with its crchards and green fields, as to hope lo find the once famous garden of Grant Thorburn. Mrs. Iydia Maria Child in her "Letters from New York", under date of October 14, 1S41, describes a visit made to this old Scotchman, and his spacious and beautiful garden, whose flowers and garden seeds enjoyed a celebrity throughout the country. The grounds of this long Jgo flower merchant, were located at Ravenswood, on the East River, a

ittle south of Hallet's Cove. It is inlersting to note that Ravenswood, now a sub-station of Long Island City, was fo named by Thorbrun himself, who vas a great admirer of Sir Walter Scott's romances, and this name from the Bride of Lammermoor, clung after

wards to the village which grew up around him. Speaking of his garden, l!rs. Child mentions seeing nearly tlree thousand dahlias in full bloom, tie choicest specimens with very variety of shade and hue, the most superb floral exhibition that she had ever seen. "They stood facing each other in regal groups, as if the court beauties of a coronation ball had been suddenly chmged into blossoms by an enchanter's wand." Among the several mementos given her from the garden, was a sprig of acacia "whose light, feathery, yellow foilage looked like a pet plaything of the breezes," and which for the first time enabled her to understand clearly the description of the desert in "Lalla Rockh" where the "acacia waves her yelbw hafr." Mrs. Child describes Thorburn as of pleasing address, and highly communicative regarding himself and his advfntures. He was born near St. Leoaard's Crags, and in his boyhood was accustomed to pass Jeannie Dean's cottage frequently. His grandfather was alive and stirring at the time of the Porteous mob, and he had heard him recount the leading incidents in the heart of Mid Lothian a

j thousand times. She was charmed to

hear him recite in the pure Scotch

' Now let me tell you vfhy I serve "Edgemonl" Crackers three' times a day. A friend suggested that I put a plate of crackers and a plate of bread on the table every meal, say nothing to my family but watch them. I did, and would you believe it, every one ate the "Edgemont Crackers and butter, simply because they liked these crunchy' little crackers and butter better than the bread. ...en too,, It makes such a pleasing change. Try it with your family. They, I know, will prefer "Edgemont" Crackers and butter just as my family does. Then they are as economical as they are good. You get one h unci re "Edgemont" Crackers to the pound. And the cookies and cakes that the "Edgemont" bakers make! well, they are simply delicious. You can get any kind you want, from spicy gingersnaps to dainty marshmallow and chocolate confections a different kind for every day in the month. Your neighborhood grocer can supply you.

accent Jennie's eloquent and pathetic appeal to the Queen. Although hia beautiful flowers have bloomed and are gone forever, and the very name of their cultivator seems forgotten or neglected, yet to lovers of literature the name of "Lawrie Todd" Is fondly remembered, for the hero of Gait's novel entitled "Lawrie Todd, or the Settlers," Is no other than Grant Thorburn, whose history cupplred Gait with material, as the story of Alexander Selkirk did Defoe. It is said that Gait's Lawrie Todd is a work which seems to have no parallel since Defoe, for apparent reality, knowledge of human nature, and fertility of invention. ' We are indebted to the reference librarian of the New York Public Library for further information concerning Grant Thorburn. We learn that this old time florist was the author of

several books, namely, a collection of miscellaneous papers, his Autobiography, and his "Fifty Years' Reminiscences of New York, or flowers from the garden of Lawrie Todd." This book was copyrighted in 1845, contains a portrait of Grant Thorburn, and was published at New York. In comparing the hero of Gait's story with the real individual, it is a fact worth remembering, to learn that Mr. Child considered Lawrie

Todd, very true to the life. Sometimes one can travel delightfully by proxy, so in this Instance, the reader Is surely grateful for the charming description that Mrs. Child has given of her visit to Ravenswood. KATE V. AUSTIN.

The Phonograph with a Soul"

The instrument used on March 10th, 1920, in Carnegie Hall, New York, was an exact duplicate of the original Official Laboratory Model on which Mr. Edison spent three million dollars in research work. We, too, have an exact duplicate of this three million dollar original. We guarantee that it is capable of sustaining precisely the same test made on March 10th, in Carnegie Hall, New York City. This guarantee will be given in writing, if you wish. Our Budget Plan puts this guaranteed Official Laboratory Model within jour reach. It's a thrift teay of buying. Ask about it when you come to hear the Realism Test.

At a certain stanza the house was suddenly darkened. The song went on. I was shooting my ears out like periscopes to detect the second when she would stop. I was sure I got it. Then she seemed to be back again. The flood of lights came on but no Anna! Only the phonograph singing away. It was quite wonderful, and the audience applauded and laughed.
