The Diary of an Engaged Girl )
By Phyllis Phillip
As I prophesied, the hue and cry has been raised, because of sister Laura's elopement. (My, how that word does thrill the breast of a wo-' man.) The hue and cry descended in the form of Mother Edmonds plus Father E. early this morning. Fortunately for my art I had just left the house and was far on my way to my office when it all happened, but our modern telephone system, which by the way always works quickest when least wanted, found me at my place of refuge, and mother let mo know in an agitated voice that my future in-laws were at our home then, and very much perturbed at the disappearance of the family daughter 1 said as little as I could on the phone, for I knew that an argument would follow, and that I would . get all hot up and unfit to work, so after mumbling something about being sorry, and too busy to talk at the time, and about doing my best to come home tarry in the afternoon, I hung up the receiver (which 1 acknowledge is a dirty trick at any time) and went back to my drawing board. It was four o'clock when I arrived home, bearing my evening paper with me, filled with the caricatures of Morgan and Laura. There I found Mother
Edmonds prostrated, and waving a telegram back and forth in a bewildered sort of way, to the accompaniment of my own mother's sympathetic worus. "To think that my own flesh and blood should play such a trick on ine; to think it! And how 1 have watched over that girl! And as for that wretched man, well, they havn made their btd " and all the other things that outraged parents usually say when under stress of any kind. It was in this part of the harangue that they spied me. and with a wild flourish of her telegram in my direction, Mother Edmonds called to me nnd read this telegram which Laura had sent her: "Morgan and I marrifd yesterday in New Haven: see Lindsey fur si 1 1 particulars." Passing the buck with a vengeance, wasn't it? But 1 did not mind, for I knew that Laura would do the same for tne at any time. Of course there was nothing to do but sit down and give a fair and detailed account of the wedding, and explain how suddenly it had been decided upon, and all that. Mother Edmonds took it very hard (she would), and sorry as I felt tor her, in spots, 1 had to smile inwardly several times during my recital of the adventures of Morgan and Laura, for Ele seemed to tie sorriest about the most unimportant trifles, after all. For instance, the fact that she had not been present at her daughter's nuptials did not seem to worry her half as much as t lie thought that said daughter had been married, yes, actually daringly married in an old dress. Her very oldest! And after all the plans she and Mr. Edmonds had been making for the ungrateful child's wedding, despite the fact that she was marrying out of her sphere a wretched artist and all that. Then followed a long and dreary dissertation on modern daughters in general and their shortcomings, all of which made my ears pinken a bit. Of what good to tell this Irate lady of the wonder-look of joy that had shone in the eyes of this naughty daughter of hers when-she and Morgan kissed after the ceremony, and all that? None whatsoever. Laura had defied the conventions and was
therefore an lngraie aiid outcabi. Poor, dear, happy little bride, my heart flew out to her in her new-found happiness, and I was glad that she had evaded all the pomps and agonies of a fashionable wedding, after all. We 'finally managed to soothe Mrs. Edmonds, and when she finally left she had promised to send a telegrgam of forgiveness to her erring child. (To be continued.)
Heart Problems
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last summer I went out in the world to start to work, which I always was anxious to do. I never knew there were girls such as I got acquainted with oh, the paint, staying out till the morning, drinking and going out with strange boys! That is the kind of girls I met, but 1 never went any place with them. When I started I met the sweetest girl, so darling. She asked me to go
to lunch with ber and treated me sir
lovely I will never forget her. But she is one of the wild ones I did not know it until 1 worked there a couple of weeks. Then the irls told me. I could hardly believe it, but it is so because I have seen it since then. She
is my age, just 16, but looks much older and I much younger. I can't sleep nights nor enjoy anything for she is on my mind constantly and it worries me to think she will never get what she has lost. Girls have told mo she doesn't act wild around home and her mother thinks the world of her, not knowing what she is. 1 don't believe anyone can dislike her for she is sweet and darling even if she is wild. Is there any way I could get her to do better? I hate to tell her she Is doing wrong for it would seem so queer and then I believe she would tell her friends and they would laugh ul me. I wonder if I could write to her mother and tell her all without writing my signature. I am afraid my folks would think I am absolutely crazy of they found out I did it. That is why I would like to send it without my name. Please don't think I am foolish for loving her, for I know you would too if you would see her. I think there will something dreadful happen to her and I know her mother would feel terribly if she didn't know. I have seen her mother at church and she is also darling. POLLY ANNA. Yes, I can see why you love the girl. She has a rich nature, full of good qualities. Unfortunately her love for excitement and her curiosity have not been well directed and she Is heading toward disaster. To interfere in any way would not
be minding your own business. I be
lieve, however, that you can tactfully express your opinion. Do not report the matter to her mother and do not be afraid of the consequences of your interference. What if the other girls do hear about it and you are laughed at? The fact that you have tried to help some one should be enough to comfort you. Her pride will be so hurt by what you say that she will not
mention the matter to any one, I believe. ' It seems to me that you should talk
to the girl herself. Do not hurry because what you say will be more effective If you wait until opportunity presents itself. Some time when you and she are together and she says something which would give you a start, tell her that you think she is spoiling a beautiful life. Express your appreciation of her good qualities and suggest that she could be so worthwhile if she sacrificed momentary pleasure so that the rest of her life would be better and happier. Suggest that some day she will marry and then she will want a spotless past so that she will not need to tell or hide from the man she loves something unworthy.
Carrie Chapman Catt j 1 -------- I
i ! What's in a Name I (Copyright) v t
JACQUELINE The most piquant name in the lexicon of feminine appellatives is Jacqueline. Her origin dates far back in Biblical days when one of the twin sons of Isaac and Rebecca was called Jacob and the mother predicted that he would supplant the other Thus his name came to signify "the supplanter" and Jacqueline, which is derived from this source has the same significance.
As the derivatives of Jacob spread throughout Europe, France adopted Jacques. The great church of St. Jacques at Liege spread the love of the name in Flanders and it was when the English and French were mingled together in the camps of the Black Prince and Henry V that the name spread into England. The feminine Jacqueline had already arisen. Henry V called the wild Jacqueline of Hainault Dame Jack. She, like his Flemish sister-in-law, Jacquette of Luxemburg, was named in honor of the saint of Liege. The nurse of Edward VI. whom Holbein drew by the soubriquet of Mother
Jack was called Jacquette. Jacquelines in France are very numerous and the name is extremely popular in this country, where its ready diminutive. Jack, sounds good to Yankee ears. Jade is Jacqueline's talismanic stone. It Is said to bring her allaround good luck, and wearing it she will find her heart's desire. Friday is her lucky day and 3 her lucky number.
The labors of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt in the interests of woman suffrage that were to bring her to her present posts as president of the International
Woman Suffrage Association began in
her native state of Iowa in 1890, when
airs. Catt, then Carrie Line, affiliated herself with the Iowa Woman Suffrage Association as state lecturer and organizer. From 1892 until the present, Mrs. Catt has been in the service of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, serving as president of
that organization from 1900 to 1903 and being elected cgain in 1916. When she attempted to retire from the presidency of the International Alliance at Geneva last June she was re-elected by acclamation.

THE brightly colored figures on which the kiddies' own phonograph records are securely mounted have an instant appeal to children. The figures, themselves, play on any phonograph when a steel needle is used. Many-a-restless baby has been quieted by a rattle. But when Tommy and Betty grow older the rattle will not do at all. They want something more interesting, something moving and alive, something that will attract and hold their interest, The records and books in the TALKING BOOK SERIES are educational as well as amusing. They provide the music so necessary for the growing mind, the fetching figures appeal to his sense of beauty, the stories, poems and rhymes printed on back will teach him to read more quickly than the ordinary or picture book "reader." Single records, mounted oa beautifully colored figures, 35 cents; complete books in full colors containing three or four records, $1.00 to $2.00. A large assortment to choose from and new numbers are issued regularly. For best results use a loud tone needle.

Your children! It's important that they get proper nourishment. In the old days the best bread you could have for them was home baked bread But even better bread can be had today. Our strictly modern bakery, with its automatic machinery, its white-clad workers and its loaf practically untouched by hands and wax-wrapped produces such bread as was not known at all before modern baking science became perfected. You expect improvements ' in transportation, lighting, heating with the years. Why not in bread-making,, also? Try Bstejlto Bread, and you will be convinced that we are making wonderful strides toward perfection in bread quality.
