The Diary of an 'Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillip

Dear me, how strange I look to my-, way she loves. "Please forgive your

self today verily I do. Late last

night, after the men had left us, and the house was still, I sat up reading, and then having nothing better to do and not feeling a bit sleepy, I decided to bob my hair! It was done so quickly, there was no time to stop and now! Heavens! I shall be ostracized by friends and family, I fear. The girls squeaked with joy when I appeared at breakfast this morning, ftnd Dorry slapped me on the back and said with a meaning look that there was more hope for me than any other of the engaged girls that she knew! Some compliment that, I'll say. But that's not the half of it. dearie! No, indeed. It's what my Jack said when he saw it, and he said a blue streak and let out a yell of despair. I believe that that foolish man loved my long, snarly, rebellious locks ever so much. Course I never thought of this when I cut it off; I was thinking only of my own comfort. I look like a nice little page-boy now and I feel wonderfully naughty and comfortable. My- head is light and no longer hot, and it's a tremendous relief in every way. Long live bobbed hair, I say. There'll be a row at home, I know, but I don't care. Can't I do what I like with my own hair? Jack almost cried with anger and he told me that I had destroyed my chief claim to beauty; which was truthful, maybe, but which annoyed me considerably. Fiances have no right to tell the naked truth on all occasions, nor on this sort of an occasion either. Of course I smiled at him in a superior way and told him that I was still free to do with my own body as I willed, etc. And that my hair had been a source of annoyance to me since childhood; in fact it had always cramped my style, and that was out of the question any longer. Aunt Cecilia assured me that it was most becoming, although true to type she mourned the loss of "a woman's crowning glory" and all that. She wouldn't be Aunt Cecilia if she didn't. I forgave her, however. All the way home in the motor the wind rushed through my old shaved head and felt wonderful. It was ex-

hilerating to say the least. And II

feel that I can now take my proper place with those noble women of all ages and inclinations who have dared. That is a lot of comfort just at th'e present moment, for I'm anticipating a bad half hour with my mother when I arrive at home. Four p. m., same day. The bad half hour has come and gone and I am still alive and smiling despite all. It was very bad while it lasted, be sure of that, but it did not last long. Mother almost fainted when I pulled off my cap and stood revealed to her eyes. "Good gracious, Lindsey, what will you do next?" were her first words. I explained as kindly and fully as I could just why I had taken this step, but it did not seem to help matters one little bit. "You might as well leave your family and embrace your own sort of wild life, down in the studios of Greenwich Village at once," said she, with a resigned look in her eyes. "I cannot pretend to control you any longer, and the sooner I wash my hands of you competely, the sooner I shall have some peace." "It's not as bad as all that, mother o' mine," I said, hugging her in the

naughty Lindsey, etc. etc." And be

fore very long she was all smiles and forgivenesses and told me that she'd take me to a hair dresser's in the morning and buy me a wig! Horrors! (To be continued.)

OLD GOLD BLOUSE AND SATIN SKIRT . IS SMART OUTFIT

Here is a smart costume for raidsummer wear. The skirt is a rather plain model made of lustrous wnite novelty satin. With it is worn a comfortable little overblouse made of old gold colored taffeta trimmed with pleated ruffles of self material. A broad brimmed hat of white orjrandy turned up sharply at the back sets off the

Heart Problems

Dear "Two Innocent, Suffering Girls": I have not rewritten your letter because it is bo foolish. To think of girls of your apparent sense writing in the manner you did in the letter 1b not pleasant. If the boys are going with, other girls, let them go. Do

not think of attempting to "hold back" their attentiops. That is both ignorant and decidedly foolish. There are surely plenty of other young men for you to have as friends. Do not worry about boys, whose Interest seems to lie elsewhere. No; the stage Is not necessarily an immoral place. Actors and actresses who spend years in amplifying their talent, and gaining in artistry are

often among the most virtuous and charming people of the world. Every phase of the stage is not the same, however. Mrs. Thompson: What would you do if you loved the opposite sex, one very dear person, so well you couldn't think of any one else, and got no return, and just couldn't help it? LONE GENT. Dear Sir: It is quite possible the

lady in question does not care for you. If you have proved to yourself that your affection for her is unrequited, then make yourself forget her. It Is very foolish to 6ay you can't forget for you know It is our human power to forget anything if we are strong enough. Busy yourself with your work, and -associate with other people, and time will help you to forget this unfortunate love affair.

ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

In Little Pimples. Hands Poisoned. Cuticura Heals.

0j -

"Our little girl was three months old when eczema started on her face

in little pimples. She rubbed until her face was almost like raw meat. Her hands became poisoned so that I had to tie one of them

up, and she cried.

We read about Cuti

cura Soap and Ointment so we bought a cake of Soap and a box of Ointment, and in four weeks she was healed." (Signed) Mrs. J. D. Dupler. Thornville, Ohio, June 18, 1919. Prevent Further Trouble By Using Cuticura Daily Prevent these many distressing, disfiguring skin troubles of childhood by using Cuticura Soap, and no other, for every-day toilet and nursery uses instead of impure, coarse, or strongly medicated soaps. Mothers, think of what it means to your child to go forth into theworld handicapped by a disfiguring skin trouble. Dost toot kin with Catlmrm Talcum, an uquuitefy scented fac. akin ami baby powder.

What's In a Name j (Copyright) i

DORCAS The quaintest and most charming of old-fashioned names is Dorcas, now regarded as a Puritan name, but once In general and widespread usage. It signifies "a gazelle" and curiously its significance has become so much a part of the name that its psychic emanations would seem to influence its bearer toward modesty and shyness of bearing. Dorcas comes from the Greek word which indicates the full, dark eye of the gazelle. St. Luke makes Dorcas identical with the Aramean Tabitha, another name very popular in Puritanical nomenclature. According to the Scriptures, Dorcas was a woman raised from the dead by Peter at Joppa. She was a Christian disciple who had made "coats and garments" for the poor. For this reason, church

sewing societies are frequently called !

Dorcas societies and the aura of charity surrounds the quaint little name. The diamond Is the talismanic gem assigned to Dorcas. It is said to give her superior strength, fortitude and courage, and. if worn upon her left arm, will protect her from all adversity. Sunday is her lucky day and 6 her lucky number. The violet signifying modesty, is her flower.
