The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips

July 6 .At "Hope Hamtet," Long Island. Perfect day, perfect peace, and the quiet hour that follows a breakfast eaten under the trees with the friends one loves best. Here I lie, luxuriously. In a hammock, looking out lazily at the blue waters of the the Sound, which slap sleepily at the shore Just a few feet away from me. Aunt Cecilia is stretched out on the .grass, and la lost in the clouds. Jean and Dorry are foolishly making bed3. This is an ideal spot for kindred spirits to gather in. Far enough away from New York to be a retreat, so to speak, and yet near enough to get in when it is most necessary. The little cot is almost in the water, or rather, iust a few feet from the beach, and the beach at this point, by the way, is free from other bungalows for nearly a mile. Can you imagine what bliss that spells to us? There are thre diminutive bedrooms and a porch that goes all round the house. We sleep on the latter. Aunt Cecilia and I arrived here yesterday morning, and were warmly welcomed, I assure you. Jean and Dorry -have been here for nearly two weeks, and look the better for it. Jean is contemplating matrimony within the next few weeks, unless Providence in the form of a lover's quarrel, inter venes! She expects Harvey for the week-end. He will put up at a hotel fairly near here and take his meals with us. Everyone is in radiant spirits. I fancy it is because for a few hours we are all free. Now do not misunderstand me. Of course we all appreciate our fiances and nil that, but there is a charm like unto nothing else In chums getting together under one roof and above all else being alone for a short time! We have planned three days of absolute rest for ourselves. No housework, and not even any painting, unless we are particularly smitten with some super-lovely spot or other. Jack Is also expected here for the week-end and maybe Jeffry! So we are going to make the best of our little holiday, 1 can tell you. Jean says that she wouldn't be at all surprised if they all showed up long before Saturday, but we 6hould worry. At the present moment there is nothing to do but to lie and gaze into space for a girl on a lazy morning. The vlctrola is wafting "The Venetian Moon" to me, and it takes me back to the night when Prince Charming and I danced it together, forgetful of time and place. I wonder where lie is at this moment, and if he has quite forgotten me. If I had my way I should have Brl.xy and Prince Charming and Cecil down on Saturday, as well as Jack. Maybe if I spent some time with each of the three first mentioned I should appreciate my fiance more. However, all of these men love me. And I do not, nor ever will understand just why it is that Society forbids anyone but a fiance to make love to a girl, when she is once engaged. It's fairly, all right after she is married, but until

Heart Problems

My dear "Unworthy Sweetheart": You sign yourself as such but from the bottom of ray heart I cannot believe it. Occasionally such a case as yours has come to my notice. Such cases are not infrequent in the movie scenarios and there of course, the woman either tells the truth and is cast aside by her shamed fiance, or else she keeps it locked in her heart and soflers .untold agony. Now don't do either. If you had willfully cast aside your virtue, it would be quite different;. I believe you did not do this, but were simply led into believing an untruth by an unscrupulous man. It was the man who sinned. But my dear young woman, this point of view could not be taken by everyone. Some people, no difference how much they loved you. might have been trained to look at such things in a way v hich would never permit them to forgive you. Do not tell the young man nor any one else, is my advise. Guard the secret forever, but guard it by taking up your new life and completely forgetting the old. No one could ever prove your past step and never allow anyone to drag it from you. This may not be the easiest, thing at first but in face of the way the world looks at such things it is surely the wisest. That you have never sinned sincp Ihe influence of this other man was over you is proof enough of your virtue. I think your prayer for forgiveness will bring you entirely out of your sorrow. KVom now on pray for strength to make your life a blessing to others through your own happiness. By all means marry the young man if you love him. Having the strength lof his protection will also help you.

then it seems to me that tne snouid be considered as a free lance, right to the end. I have no hand in making the laws, unfortunately for my theories, so there is nothing to do at present but conform to those that are in favor now, and laugh at them up my sleeve, as many others do. A time will come when things will be different. That is one consoling thought. (To be continued.)

Name

JUSTINE. Justine may almost be classed as a "legal" name. It is derived from tho Latin word juro, meaning to swear or take oath, and is one of the many such names that show the strong impression made upon other languages by the Roman law. It signifies "Just." In early times there was a St. Justus or Juste in Lyons, but the feminine form was directly evolved from Justa, a virgin martyr, whose fame was later eclipsed by that of Justina. Her martyrdom at Padau caused that city to adopt her as its patron saint and her purity made the unicorn her emblem, since it is said to lend obedience to none but a spotless maiden. The Venitians believe that the victory of the great battle or Pepanto which was fought on St. Justina day, was due entirely to her intercession For that reason, Justina, or Guistina, as she is called in Venice, is very popular in Italy, and Fiance has made her equally popular as Justine. The English accepted the French spelling, but we have adopted both versions In this country, employing Justine and Justina Indiscriminately. The moss agate is Justine's talismanic -stone. It promises her courage and victory through all difficulties. Sunday Js her lucky day and 4 her lucky number.

Rev. Ray Discusses Church Unity in Sermon "Are the Churches Becoming One?" was the subject of a sermon by the Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church Sunday night. In part he said: "The present separated condition of the churches is intolerable to American minds of the present day. Success and even the failure of sectarian and interchurch movements show a deep protest against divided church life. There are necessities before churches for unity, which If neglected, not only will imperil their existence but also the mission for which they exist. We

j need a Christian democracy thoroughI ly American which will put no other i emphasis but that which Christ put

on life, love and God."

CHILDREN OF POOR COUNTIES PENALIZED IN EDUCATION RACE

"Shajl the Btate penalize an Indiana boy or girl who happens to be born in

j a community not favored with an abundance of taxable property to sup

port the public?" asks B. J. Burris, assistant state superintendent of public Instruction. Eighty-four per cent of the money expended for education In the state is raised in the local corporations. Figures prepared by Mr. Burris show great differences in the per capita amount of taxables In the counties for the children enumerated for school purposes. Wayne county has a comparatively "soft place," Her taxables amount to $93,641,438 with her school enumeration totalling 7,259 children, making a sum per capita of taxables, $9,684. In Benton county, which leads the state in the amount of taxables for each school child, the total valuation Is $72,773,840, the school enumeration is 3,295, and the amount of taxables

for every school child V3 $22,086. 1 Crawford county, which is at the bot-1 torn of the list, has taxable property ! amounting to $2,930,350; there are j

d,i4t cunaren enumeratea ana oniy $931 of taxables for each school child in the county. Striking Disparities. Similar startling disparities exist

j between the counties of Boone, Carroll, Clinton, Hancock, Hendricks, Jas- ! per, Johnson, Montgomery, Rush, Shel

by, Tippecanoe and Union on the one hand and the counties of Clark, Clay, Dubois, Floyd, Franklin, Harrison and Orange on the other hand. The total taxable property in Indiana for 1920 is $5,749,458,794 and the school enumeration for this year is 778,786. The average true value of taxable wealth for each pupil enrolled for school purposes in 1920 is $7,382. The uneven distribution of taxables

J in Indiana is strikingly shown by the

fact, that one tow nship of the state has taxables amounting to $18,000,000; at least 14 townships have taxables ranging from $8,000,000 to $18,000,000; 61 townships have taxables ranging from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000, and other townships have taxables ranging from $100,000 to $500,000.

LETTER SHOWS INTEREST J FRIENDS' RELIEF WORK Proof of the growing interest in Friends' relief work in Germany is pointed out in a letter written by Alfred G. Scattergood, head of the unit, on May 8: "After returning from a trip to Silesia, Poland, and Saxony, visiting various feeding centers, I received a letter from the secretary of the French Consul at Breslau. He is a young German who had been interned in England and wants to become a Quaker."

Furs and Mystery

Kolinsky is a small and rather handsome fur-bearer resembling the American Mink, or European Marten, and is known abroad as Siberian Sable, Tartar Sable and Siberian Marten. The fur, however, is unlike that of either the Sable or Marten, being shorter, harsher and lighter in tint than that of the Sables, the general color being a bright golden, handsome shade of yellow, or brownish yellow, quite uniform in tone on all parts of the body. Kolinsky is made up natural or dyed Mink color, or much darker shades of brown. The best, skins are found in Kola, Russia, while large numbers are obtained in China. One of the many beautiful features of Kolinsky are the tails, which are used extensively in trimming capes, coats and stoles, either natural or when split and used flat. Like all other furs of quality. Kolinsky is imitated by cheaper and inferior furs of various kinds, such as rabbit, hare, etc. It is therefore an important thing that you buy your Kolinsky cape or coat in a store of established reliability if you would really get the fur of the little Asiatic animal and not the skins of its lowly imitators. Another chance one takes in dealing with a furrier without reputation, is that one must depend entirely upon the dealer's word, for he has no other way of knowing whether the fur in question is of the finer Russian grade, cr of the poorer quality from China if it should happen to be a genuine Kolinsky at all. Which emphasizes once more the great necessity to BEWARE OF THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING! To Be Continued. Copyright 1919.
