The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

t!

Cecil got a gray, gliding sort of a car, and we started off. As soon as we got a bit out we took off our hats and let the winds of July wander through our hair and brains. It was most wonderful. We just clipped along and whenever we felt like it we stopped, sat down beside a brook, and put our hot faces deep into the water.

The woods were hushed and delightfully cool and mysterious, and Cecil was all for staying in one particular 6pot that we tumbled upon, for hours, but I was not keen. So by degrees we made our way along. Once we almost collided with another car, so absorbed were we in each other and the landscape. And once Cecil brought the car to a sudden stop and then turned and just looked into my eyes in a way that he has, until I really didn't know what to do with my own at all. Then he started off again. That boy is apt to do anything at times. By twilight we reached a dear, pleepy little place, that announced to us that it served dinners; so we halted. The Sound was at our feet and the last rays of the sun were burnishing up its shores, when we found ourselves seated at a cosy table, on a feranda overlooking all this evening's eplendor, tired, hungry but very happy. Cecil ordered a delicious dinner and we became silent and reverent, for the world was changing to a misty purple before our eyes, and the lights of the boats were beginning to wink tack at us fantastically, as we watched From a syringa bush nearby a drowsy whip-poor-will called his even-s-ong to our hearts, and there was hardly a breath stirring on this mid

summer night. We enjoyed our dinner and the discreet music that was wafted out to us from somewhere inside. It was a long way from New York and we etill had a long evening belore us. Cecil said that there would be a moon later on, and that would make the homeward trip glorious. The first stars were twinkling at us when we stepped into the car again, and headed for the big city. For home time we sped along in silence, but ' finally we passed a pretty dell ihat Cecil had admired earlier in the afternoon, and here he halted the car and asked me to come-out and watch tor the moon to rise with him. It was still early, so I did so. We sat down and just let all the mystic sweetness of the night seep tli rough our beings caressed by a thousand odors and soothed by the song of the crickets and katy-dids The moon rose riotously and Cecil slipped his arm round me as we

watched it appear. And then 1 don't j femember what happened except that j I found myself engulfed by two strong j and trembling arms and felt Cecil's lips devouring mine. i He just held me and kissed me, un-, til I suddenly remembered no more. ! Long afterwards I found myself being ; ministered to tenderly by Cecil. He ; was bathing my head with some water from a nearby brook, and calling my name in an agony of love and fear. It ; seems that I, foolish creature, hac fainted in his arms. No doubt the ' faint was due to fright, and to the j fact that we had been riding all after- j noon in the hot sun hatless. I felt drowsy and unreal to myself and Cecil took me on his lap and held me very gently to him, until 1 came round to my proper self again. Then I looked at him, and laughed. That laugh caused him to make mad love to me again, and for a few minutes I as well as Cecil seemed in danger, fo losing my head! (To be continued.)

Bachelor Girl Sayings By Helen Rowland

i The saddest hour of romance is that in which a man begins to think of his wife's voice as a combination alarmclock, dinner-gong and curfew. The appropriate "shower" for the June bridegroom appears to be a shower of advice, sympathy, awful predictions, and home-made "bracers," from his loving bachelor friends. Many a man has turned a third-rate stenographer into a first-class cook, merely by offering her a wedding ring. Oh, well, thanks to the Eighteenth Amendment lots of wives will be taken abroad this summer who would otherwise have lived and died without ever seeing the Eiffel Tower or the Rue de la Pais. Possession is nine points of the lovegame and the tenth is boredom. To be a man's idol forever, wear your halo even at breakfast, and never remove the sandals of illusion from your feet of clay, no matter how they pinch. At twenty to be lovely, at thirty to be loved, at forty to be lovable that is the highest attainment of life for any woman. After a few years of sentimental experience, it takes real technique for a f:irl to kiss like an amateur and real diplomacy for a man to pretend not to know the difference. Many a man, who believes in "giving the devil his due," would be less broad-minded if the devil were a woman. "An exemplary young man" is one in whose presence it is perfectly safe for a pretty woman to crumple up her lips and blow the curls out of her eves.

DOLORES Like Juanita, the Spanish Dolores has gained extraordinary vogue in this country. Indeed, it is now regarded as typically American, especially in the Southwest where the influence of the early Spanish settlers has been engraved for all time. Its unfortunate translation, "sorrows," has never checked its vogue; rather, the opposite emotion has seemed to invest its bearers. Most of the Doloreses who have come to this writer's notice have been gay coquettes with laughing eyes and lips. The name is one of Spanish Catholic growth and was originally applied to express the mournful circumstances of som'e "child of misery, baptised in tears." The fashion for bestowing the name of the Holy Virgin upon several members of a Catholic family with a distinguishing phrase led to the frequent usage of Dolores. Parents, mindful of the Seven Sorrows supposed to have pierced the heart of the Holy Mother, would choose for one child the musical name of Maria de Dolores. It is quite appropriate that Dolores' talismanic stone should be jet, the emblem of sorrow. But fortunately for her, to wear the stone insures the opposite emotion; ;it will protect her from sorrow, from danger and disease. Tuesday is her lucky day and 4 her lucky number.

friendly and are not unjustly critical. Probably everybody knows everybody else and forgets that strangers feel left out and alone. I am very sorry that such a condition exists, and shall do my part to be friendly. The various churches ought to have more active hospitality committees. Again I say that money is not enough to buy friendships. Money makes a big showing but it cannot take the place of real character and

i charm. This town, as wen as any

other, has all kinds of people in n. Some are more impressed by money than others. There are many charming and worthy people both with and without money who do not sell their affections. I sincerely hope that you will have better times before you leave here so that you can look back upon our city with some degree of affection.

Melons Good Investment

vines get a start, there won't be so much difficulty. The seeds come up in a hurry, and from the time they are out of the ground until the vines cover the patch so that it is impossible, keep the soil stirred. This retains the moisture and keeps the melons growing. It is as simple as falling off a log to keep the vines spinning, and if the vines

grow there will be good melons. f start in the muskmelon line Is the

E. E. Rice, Garden Supervisor. It is strange that so popular a fruit as the muskmelon, one that is as easily grown in the home garden and which is never really cheap, should find place in so few gardens. Dodging the striped beetle is the chief dif-

The melon may be planted in early June with every prospect of a good crop. It is safer to wait until the temperature is settled and the soil warm. The latter part of May is generally as early as it is safe to plant melons in the northern states. Plant five seeds to a hill, five feet apart each way. After they come up and have made three or four leaves pull out all but two to a hill. The reason for permitting them to go along that far is to guard against bugs getting them all. Be prepared to dust with slug shot, spray with some arsenate mixture, or dust, with sifted ashes if nothing else is in sight. Oncn the

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: In your column I saw your answer to a person who says she is from New York. I am wondering if you did not answer in an unpleasant mood? I feel as the girl did that this is a snobbish town. Many strangers feel this way. Go out and ask them how they get treated in some of your churches. Ask them how their young people like the dances. You know as well as I do that the people here only think of the other because he or she is a little bit too big to forget. Why all this coolness? Can't they be free and sociable even if they do

The Last Week of School

The strain of approaching examinations, coupled with the hot weather and the excitement of a promised vacation, make plenty of wholesome nourishment for the children more necessary than ever before. The best and safest way to supply it is with good, reliable home baking done with Valier's Enterprise Flour. ValierY Enterprise Flour is milled from none but the finest hard wheat even tho we must pay a high premium for every bushel we buy. Special care is taken to preserve all the unusual baking qualities of this selected wheat, and repeated sifting through silk adds remarkable fineness The resulting flour, while it is slightly higher f)riced in the sack, is economical in the end. t produces better, more uniformly successful baking and

Furs and Mystery Uy Palais Royal

Nutria is a trade name for the fur of tho Copyu, one of the few fur-bearinK animals of South America. It is a fur which cioFfly resembles beaver. When unhaired and dyed enough of it has been sold as beaver or se;il (which it can also be made to imitate) to mean fortunes to the unscrupulous dealers who put over the deception. Of late, however, nutria has come into its own very largely, and this opens up a new field for the illegitimate profit seeker that of creating substitutes for it. You can readily see, therefore, that, it is a difficult thing to get, in an unreliable store, good nutria fur under its own name. The good and medium grades are masquerading as beaver and seal, while the poor skins and the rubstitutes take their places. Unlike all northern skins, nutria is cured by drying in the open air, in the direct rays cf the sun, which undoubtedly r.a. much to do wih its great durability. For years it has ranked next to beaver in the manufacture of superfine, durable and costly felt hats for men. All of this shows us that: First, nutria is a good fur. Second, like all other furs, it is of many grades. Third, it is used largely to imitate more costly furs. Fourth, it is widely imitated. And fifth, that the dealer of integrity is the" man to patronize every time. BEWARE OF THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING! To be Continued Copyright, 1919
