PAGE FIVE

The Diary of an Engaged Girl' 1 By Phyllis Phillips j

After two days' imprisonment I sure was glad to dance out into the sunlight again and feel free. Said sun was tremendously hot, but good nevertheless. - As I was swinging happily down Fifth avenue I ran into Cecil, returning from a visit to Boston. We were so glad to see each other, and he dropped his suitcase and bugged me right on the street. We decided to have lunch together, and walked to a small and secluded nook that I am very fond of, where we knew we should be undisturbed. I told Cecil all about my cooking bout and he enjoyed it thoroughly, especially tae part where the omelette appeared on the table, heralded by mother's praises. Cecil told me over again that I was making the mistake of my life to marry Just now, and I turned the subject as quickly and skillfully as 1 could. We talked on other subjects. Cecil mentioned that he had had a letter from the girl In England. Femininelike, now that she knows he has been strong enough to go out of her life, ehe wants him back again. Smallminded women can't bear to think that their power over a man is gone they don't want much else but this power and how they revel in it. Of course I broke loose in a picturesque way when I heard what she had written to him. Cecil simply said that nothing that she wrote could ever bother him any more, and he gave -me a long look. I know that look now. It's unmistak.-le. I've seen it in Prince Charming's eyes times. It's not an insult, as I used to think (childishly). It can't be helped. The dear lover-men of the ages have had it. Men to me are divided into two classes husbands and lovers. They are but distantly related. As I was thinking this to myself Cecil broke Into my thought with the

What's in a Name (Copyright)

remark that women were of two kinds women who were, and women who weren't. His girl in England, he explained to me, belonged to the latter. And fire could never mix with water, which is an involved but true saying. I told him what I had Just been thinking about, and we laughed. "There are ever so many problems In life, aren't there, little cousin-o-mine?" he said in his softest tones. I assured him that they seemed to grow thicker every minute, and we smiled again. Tken Cecil leaned over the table and grabbed my hands and crushed them up to nothing in his big, powerful ones in a way that was terrifyingly possessive. "You won't forget, Lindsey, what I told you one day, will you, girl of my dreams? You won't laugh at me nor try to forget any littlest word that I have said to you about yourself and me, because some day you will want to remember them all. Life is that way to some of us. And, oh, Lindsey, how I shall wait and hope!" To save my life I could not help the tears from coming into my eyes

at the tender words of this cousin of mine, and he almost threw his body across the table when he saw them. I suppose by all the rulings of the game I'm quite an impossible person ail round, but I am true to nature. No person who has ever lived has ever been quite hopelessly bad who was true to nature to my way of thinking. They are the dear, unruly ones who have left their indelible marks on the pages of time, who have been most loved, yet most condemned. Yet they have always been true to nature. God keep me the same. Then I told Cecil how I was feeling about various things, and he told me that it all proved conclusively the wisdom of his remarks to me about not being ready for marriage, or any ties. I wonder.

JULIANA One of the most interesting of etymological histories attaches to Juliana. rr. 1 ... , i . l

i ne name was one or me earnest iu ue-

used in the Roman empire in the days, of martyrdom when the Julian gens was at the height of its power. It first found fame through St. Juliana, who was beheaded at Nicomedia under Oalerius. In the reign of Gregory the Grpat. her rpUrs were sunnnsed to be

Jit Rome, but afterwards were divided i between Brussels and Sablon. Through the Flemish duchess MsM

thilda, she was especially honored in i Isormandy and her name was much ' vsed in royal circles. The illegitimate ' daughter of Henry I, whose children re so cruelly maltreated In revenge for their father's rebellion,' was called: Julienne. England received the name j

as Julyan. It was borne there by the famous hunting prioress, Dame Julyan Bernersf Britanny substituted an "s" for a "J" and produced the popular form Suliana, whose most famous exponent was the nun-sister of Du Guesclin, who Assisted his brave wife to disconcert the night attack of their late prisoner. Jade is Juliana's talismanic stone. The Chinese believe it to represent the essence of the soul and it is said to bring its wearer happiness and imperisable love. Wednesday is Juliana's lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

This blouse is a slip-over model and is somewhat on the middy style. The small pockets and novel collar and vestee are of rose velour. an unusual trimming i" n.

The rose velour is trimmed in turn with a white wool embroidery in a simple design. Ball buttons on the vestee, sides and sleeves form the only other bit of trimming.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am engaged to a young man whom I love dearly when we are alone. It is different when we are out among other people because he says and does such

silly things that I am very nervous and disgusted. He makes people laugh,' but he takes all the attention. Very often it is bad taste for him to be the center of attraction. I have gone home Vora parties many 'times and thought 1 could not marry him. Then I would feel the same lover

ior him when we would be alone together for two or three hours. What would you advise me to do? Do you think I would be happy with him if we married? APPLE BLOOM. After you are married most of your time will be spent alone with your husband and not in the company of others. If you are congenial you will probably be happy together. It would be wise to wait six months or a year before you marry. That will give you time to make up your mind more fully whether or not you can love the man for his good points and forget his limitations. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I will be 14 years old In June. I am old looking for my age and everyone says I act 16 or 17. At school I go with older girls than myself. I think I am old enough to go with

boys. They invite me to go places, but my father is very strict and will not allow me to go. I. am afraid if I keep turning down their invitations they will stop asking and then I will never have any more chances. Don't you think that my father ought to be more reasonable since I am a big girl for my age? DOROTHY H. Your father is quite right in refusing to let you go places with boys. You are very much too young to do so, and in later years will be thankful that you had a father who looked out for your interests. A girl of fourteen has not had e tough experience to use discretion or to choose her Wends wisely. If you spend two or three years longer and study, you will be more interesting when you are older and will not want for friends.

EARLY HEARING NOT EXPECTED IN TELEPHONE RATE CASES INDIANAPOLIS, June 2. It is not believed that an early hearing will be granted the petition of the Indiana Bell Telephone company, asking substantial rate increases in 35 Hoosier cities. The petition was filed last week with the public service commission, but so far has not been assigned to the commissioner who will set the date for the hearings, conduct the case and write the order. As E. I. Lewis, chairman of the commission, will not return from his vacation until June 14. it is probable that the case will not be assigned until that time.

Furs and Mystery By PALAIS ROYAL This is not the first honest story about the mole. In numerous passages of the Bible this little animal is mentioned in an interesting and impressive manner. From that good day to this, many things have been perpetrated in the name of the tiny excavator of tunnels and builder of hills, that would not look well in print. For example, a large percentage of the "moleskin" found in today's market comes from an animal many times the size of the busy little mole namely, the muskrat. This fur. when sheared, makes an unusually good imitation of the real thing, and is, therefore, a treacherous substitute in the hands of an unscrupulous dealer. In nine cases out of ten he will get the price of the genuine, which is fairly costly because . of the tininess of the skins and the difficulty with which they are caught, while the customer gets the imitation. Were you to enter his shop with a request for genuine moleskin and have the genuine placed before you, at its fair price, and then the substitute, as a substitute, mind you, at its proper figure, then all would be well, and this article need never have been written. But the time has not yet come when all stores, or even a fair percentage of them, will do this, so one still must be keenly on one's guard. Genuine moleskins are of a bluish black and are no longer or broader than one's hand. The majority of them come from Scotland, while Holland adds smaller collections to the annual supply. Muskrat skins racige up to 15 inches in length and are extremely plentiful in all parts of this country and Canada. You can readily 3ee, therefore, that the margin of illegitimate profits is no small item. Besides muskrat, there are poorer substitutes for moleskin, such as rabbit, which in turn can be sold to you as muskrat imitation, if Dot as tin? moleskin itsolf.

Mrs. Solomon Says Being the Confessions of The Seven-Hundreth Wife. By Helen Rowland

(Copyright. 1920. by The Wheeler 'Syndicate. Inc.J How sayest thou, my daughter? Is the way of a bachelor all roses and kisses and conquests? Nay, verily! For as surely as a wedding followeth a Reno divorce, so surely will the day come, when damsels shall say of him, "He is wellpreserved!" . And while he scorneth to choose a

wife, .saying, "There are always as good fish in the sea, as ever were caught!" peradventure he is letting the BAIT grow stale. And tho Buds of Babylon are not collecting antiques! Now, there dwelt two youths in Babylon. And they wero called "Homely" and "Comely." And the heart of a certain damsel was divided between them. But I counseled her, saying, "Of two lovers, choose thou the one that PROPOSETH! For a promise on the lips is worth two in the eyes." Therefore, when Homely had proposed three times, and Comely had broken three engagements, the damsel heeded my words, and married Homely. And her friends breathed freely and said, "Thank heaven!" Yet, in the hour of dreams, she could not forget the way Comely's hair curled about his forehead. And when her husband tracked mud in the house, she wept, thinking herself a "blighted being." For a woman MUST "suffer," in order to be perfectly contented. Now it came to pass, after seven years, that the woman returned to the home of her youth. And there, she came upon Comely. But at sight of him she covered her eyes, and turned away her head in sorrow. For lo, he had gone the way of all bachelors! Yea,, verily, Comely, the heartbreaker, having no wife and no worries and no responsibilities, had waxed fat, until he resembled a Kewpie. From high living, he had acquired a

bright ruddiness, and, one by one, the hairs had departed from bis head, until his forehead was a shining light. And behold, as time passed, the damsels who had trembled at his approach, began to titter at his coming. And those who loved him became fewer and fatter, and his flirtations more expensive. For it requireth real orchids and real diamonds to make a bald spot fascinating. But Homely, the married man, being overworked, had. preserved his figure, and was called "distinguished looking." And his wife rejoiced in her heart saying: ' It is we'll; it is weJJ! For a thing'

of beauty Is not a BOY forever! "And peradventure. it is better to marry a man first and put the frills on afterward, than to wait for an Ideal

and accept a remnant!" And thereafter, when Homely commanded her, she said "Yes, dear." And when he was grouchy, Bhe smiled and comforted him. And all the world marveled at her devotion. For, behold, she had learned that happiness, for a woman, consisteth not in marrying an "ideal.' but in idealizing that which she hath married. Selah.

NOW cars arc everywhere. The horses have gotten used to them and so has everybody else. Think of it ! This year the American people will spend nearly a billion dollars on tires alone. Tires are one of the biggest items on the car owner's bills. Hardly a Saturday, when you motorists drop in to "tune up" for a Sunday trip, that one or more of you doesn't tell us something of value to our business. Sooner or later it comes back to you in Service. Service is what the car owners of this community are looking for nowadays. And especially the small car owners, who put service

iirsr in figuring their motoring expenditures. Just because a man has a moderate - price car is no reason why he should get any less service out of his tires. We believe that the man with the small car is entitled to Just as good tire service as the man with the big car and both are entitled to the bes t tire service they can get. That's why we represent U. S. Tires in. this community. And why more car owners large and small are coming to us every day for U. S. Tires. IV Come in and talk to us about tires. We're here to help you get the kind of tireg you want.
