The Diary of an By Phyitta Saturday, August 6. The day dawn ed still and hot and glorious. I passed a restless night, for the day had been ,'tn exciting one all round, and I was jso keyed up to the thought of all that jlay before me I could not get to sleep t all for long after I went to bed. !Then, too, Cecil and that last scene upset me fearfully. I saw his white, drawn face wherever I looked It's awful, that one man's Joy should have to mean another man's sorrow. What a ghastly world this Is for some of us at times. I sat at my window dreaming for a long time, until mother came in and caught me at it, at about eight o'clock, and kissed me and scolded me all in one breath for being a foolish girl and inviting a cold by Bitting in a thin nightie before an open window! Of course she understood that I was excited and all that, so she patted my cheek and told me to come on down and have a cup of hot coffee with her before the rest of the family was up and about. Like a couple of second-story men we slipped down to the kitchen and made ue a good hot cup of coffee, and il can tell you It tasted divine. Then we went upstairs again, and I had my .bath and got dressed. Evidently my Cousin Cecil also had passed a bad night, for Just as J came down after dressing I ran into him Just returning from what must have been a very early morning walk. He emiled and ran upstairs, and I decided that It was best not to say anything, but Just 3et him alone. Aunt Cecilia looked more like a rose than ever when she came to the breakfast table, and was ell smiles and blushes. I sensed that she must have had a very, very happy -evening with her lover, and it made me glad. Then followed such a hustle and a bustle you've no idea; and we Just whirled about until it came time for us to go off to the boat. I felt as though I was walking on my own brains most of the time, and someone was forever walking on my feet. Nanny presented me with a bunch of forgetmenots, which was 6weet of her. Lots of Pretty Fall Best of All; Lest milady forget that a new season Ms here dame fashion is coming forth in all the windows with her ultra smart models for the autumn and winter. And to footh milady, prices are just the same a3 last year with perhaps a small decrease. As usual American buyers are rushling east to see the Paris creations, "which are wonderful, according to the Ttlchmond buyers who have just returned from New York. Lines are long and the silhouetts are very good. 6kirts, especially in suits are a trifle wider and skirt lengths range any place from seven to 10 inches from the ground. In the talleur, or in Just ordinary English, the suit, the long Jacket, embroidered in beads and silks and trimmed in fur predominates. Many of the best models have long lines, with the simplest trimming. When the gown does not have fur trimming the choker will be used. High collars are popular for suits and dresses alike. The blouse is always an important item and this season they are of heavier material than ever before. The "Wool Jersey, Silk Jersey, and other Jieavier materials are being used with lovely bead and silk trimmings and the overblouse effect, which will be "very good. Coats Long and Straight. Coats maintain the long, straight line. The Dolman sleeve is seen in many models. Here too fur trimming will prediminate. It may already have "been understood that fur is better this season than ever before. It is seen on georgette dresses, suits and coats. The choker will be fashionable and fur coats will be good again this year. Original ideas have been carried out In fur, for instance antelope fur, in .natural color, was made into an entire suit with trimming of narrow 'velvet ribbon appliqued like braid. Tricot ine, fortuna, ehamoistyn. icamelion cord, bokara, andrea, suedpbloom, tinsel tone, evora, vel-de-cygne nd velours are the materials that will Jbc used lr suits, coats and drosses. It iis notable that these materials arf (more stable and durable than those of past fapcns. For afternoon dresses, leatins. oharmeuse, with a few taffetas will predominate. In the drosses the (long rilhouette is good. Plaiting is very popular and can be seen on nearly all models. Ah! Those Trimmings. Trimmings this season are more beautiful than ever. Although simplicit.v is more or less marked in the Bew models as far as lines are concerned the trimmings are lavish. Inspirations for design have come from Persia. India and China, Reads, lace, mul silks in the most exquisite colors are being used. Filet lace used as insets in frtcotine dresses makes a stunning dress. Models entirely mado of beads axe oeing ehown. All laco dresses ave re turning as a novelty. Sleeves are good from the elbow to the wrist. The cap sleeve, just cover ing the elbow, will be popular. The shades for tho season are iu

Engaged Girl

PhilHps t j and I eave her my second most be - SJf-erhi h whooo I loved necklace, which made her whoop for Joy. Then we started for ine Starland" and the golden future! It's not so simple getting off. after all, for there were all sorts of formalities to be gone through, such as having our passports examined, and ever so many other things. But the most thrilling thing of all was when Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks dashed up on board, followed by the eyes of a nation so to speak! Yes, sirree, no other persons in our midst but same and I was properly thrilled. Of course they had to stand on the gangplank and be photographed by a million camera men, who had been lined up for hours, waiting for them, and Mary (she did look most fetching, in a flowered smock affair, and the cunnlngest hat ever. She was radiant, every bit of it. Everyone on board did their best to crowd around her, and if it had not been for Doug's strong right arm I fear that poor little Mary would have been badly mauled by her admirers. Such a day as it was, clear and sunny and everyone we ever knew lined up to tell us bon voyage, and such roses as I found in my cabin from Jack, lovely American beauties, dozens, it seemed, and more from Brixy and a glorious armful of roses and lilies from my Cecil boy! It made me most happy, I can tell you. Jack stayed on board till the very last moment, and we fairly had to push him on 6hore. Jeffry was on hand, but ho slid away with his Cecile to some remote corner. Much talking from dad and Nanny and everyone, many kisses and last admonitions from Jack, and then, slowly but surely, "The Starland" drifted away from her wharf and out Into mid-stream. Just as she turned to start down the bay I caught sight of Cecil standing half hidden by one of the poles of the wharf, and staring out towards our ship and me, very hard. Filled with sympathy for him I waved my orange scarf back at him, but he never moved nor answered Just looked. (To be continued.) Clothes, And, Prices Stay Same blue and brown, the latter predominating. Some of the prettiest and newest shades are reindeer, beaver, pine needle, elk and fazon in brown and radium and navy in the blues. The popular price for suits and coate will be from $50 to $100, although there will be models available for prices below and above that. Dresses can be purchased for almost any price one chooses to pay. No Novelties This Year The novelties this year in all of women's apparel have disappeared. This is not more noticeable in anything than shoes. Nothing but black and brown will be worn. This is, of course, logical, as blue and black predominate in the dress materials.. Long vamps and military and Cuban heels will be worn almost entirely. The baby Louis heel for evening will be good. Kid, calf and suede will be equally popular. The oxford and woolen hose combination, so popular last season for sports wear, will be seen this season. Shoe prices remain the same as last year. But when milady goes to purchase , her hat she must take smelling salts along when she asks the price. This is unfortunate, because the hat is the one thing friend husband hates to pay for. Because of the fabulous price of materials being put into hats they are made simply, but are more chic than ever. Smart turbans and larger hats turned off the face will be good in satin, duvetyn and feather. The feather toque will be worn. Combinations of satin and duvetyn are good. Simple beading or a small clump of feathers constitute the simple trimming for the new hats. However, this is all that Is necessary when one sees the beautiful materia's and lovely colors out of which the hats are designed. The big, showy merry widow type of hats is not being shown. In the hats as in the suits, coats and dresses, blue and brown predominate, and black is as popular as ever. If madam wants to be very smart she must buy a tailored sailor early. These are very popular and very new in hatters' plush. When one has seen all the new things one feels satisfied, not only with the prices, but with the beautiful things that are being shown to attract milady's fancy. Heart Problems Dear .Mrs. Thompson: I am almost 19 and the oldest of seven children. I do office work and my hours are short, so I make my own clothes evenings. In that way I can afford pretty things. I also make things for my little sisters now and then. I have the kindest parents in the world, but they just cannot understand my craving for pretty thing. They aro so happy and contented if only we all keep well and have plenty to eat and they think I 'ought to he. I know. They are so dear lelM iimieiiiiiiariaiiiimintiii'uji

I phould hate to have them know how f r

dn-.'-atisned I am. Because rent is so high we can only afford a small cottage and the one ijVing room is always cluttered up wltn, Playthinga and sewing and the furniture is all poor and ugly. Mother lets the children be up until any old hour and so It is crowded even without company. I have a boy friend who has never met my parents. I should like them to meet, but how can I invite him? Father sits around all evening in his shirt sleeves and suspenders and smokes a horrid pipe. Mother never takes time to dress up and the children are a sight after playing all day. My friend is very neat and I do not want him to get a poor impression. I have been meeting him downtown Instead of having him call. Mother does not like that. Do you think it is wrong? We live quite a way from town so it does not seem necessary for him to come so far when it is broad daylight. Of course he brings me home, but it is too late then to have him come in. We are Just good friends and too young to think of marrying, but I know he wants to meet my parents. Once he told me he expected to have $4,000 saved by the, time he is 24 and asked me if I thought we would care for each other then as much as we do now. I am afraid I am beginning to love him. He is so very nice and thoughtful, but he has never once said he loved me. but only that I am the best little pal in the world. Would it be foolish to be engaged four years if he should want me to? RUTH. The young man cares for you and will not cease to care simply because your family makes it impossible for you to entertain company as you would like to do. By all means let him come to the house and meet your parents. He will not feel the confusion as much as you do. Besides he will look for the lovable qualities in your parents and will not see your mother's plain dress and your father's shirt sleeves. Their real worth will be felt more than their careless habits. You may be able to bribe the children to do as you want them to. I do not approve of a girl's meeting a young man downtown. If they expect to go somewhere from work, that is different, and to go home to meet would be unreasonable. You must consult your own heart about becoming engaged. You do not seem to be a fickle sort of girl. If you love him deeply and feel you want to be engaged, you are the best judge. SIX LANGUAGES SPOKEN AT ROBERTS COLLEGE EXERCISES CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 11. The world's record for the number of languages used in its commencement exercises will probably go to Robert college this year. Orations were delivered in six tongues and. at that, the program was less polygot than it used to be before the war. Each of the orators spoke his native tongue, according to the traditions of the American school established 57 years ago. The school has American standards and ideals and a majority of its teachers are Americans but its aim is to educate men for service to their own countries, rather than in English speaking countries. Armenian, Turkish, Greek, French, Bulgarian and English were the languages used by the orators and the chapel of the college was filled with a cosmopolitan crowd typical of Constantinople's Intellectuals.

What's in a Name Copyrlgrht)

I BETSEY The quaint and charming name of Betsey, so endeared to American history, had its source far back in early times when the Muscovite princess Fllsavetta, the daughter of Jaroslav, was the object of the romantic love of the great poet and sea kind. Herald Hardrada, of Norway, who sang nineteen songs of his own composition in her praise on his way to her from Constantinople and won her hand by his feats of prowess. Her name, which means "God's oath", appears in many romantic tales and Danish ballads and finally spread, in numerous variations, throughout Europe by way of Germany. Elizabeths, Isabels, Elizas and Elsbets were the most popular names in Europe and still have tremendous vogue, for that matter but Betsey is typically English and latter-day American. Many famous women have borne the name In this country. Betsey Ross, whose skillful fingers fashioned the first American flag, is a heroine of history. A no less authentic, but more extravagantly romantic character, was the beautiful Betsey Patterson, who captured the love of Jerome Bonaparte, brother to the great Emperor, and suffered a broken heart. The ruby Is Betsey's talismanlc gem. It brings her beauty and pride and haughtiness, according to ancient superstition. Wednesday is her lucky day and 3 her lucky number. Bachelor Girl Sayings By Helen Rowland . -J (Copyright. 1920. by Tho Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) A woman is usually expert at pick ing out goods that won't run, shrink, fade or frazzle but she is not always so lucky in picking out that kind of a husband. Apparently, the more a chorus girl sees of men, the better she loves "Poms" and "Pekes." Marriage is a medley composed of "Love's Sweet Song," Lohengrin, lullabies, jazz tunes and battle hymns, with a Lorelei refrain running through it, which utterly spoils the sweet si. lenco of bachelor reveries and maiden meditations. Probably, what the Serpeant REALLY whispered to Eve, on that fatal day, was that apples were good for reducing the figure. The vital problem that confronts a girl at this moment, is not the fall campaign, but the question of whether to stay out and get a sunburned nose BABY SUFFERED WITH RASH On Forehead.

playing golf, or to stay in and keep beautiful, while she gives some other girl a chance at the only eligible man at the summer resort. What most satisfies a man about a woman is her seemingly diabolic ingenuity in answering his "unanswerable" arguments and discovering his "reason" for doing things, when he did not know he had any. A man can fool a lot of the women some of the time, and some of the women all of the time; but what makes a pessimist of him is to discover that he can't fool the same woman, in the same way, all of the time. The difference between a nail and a husband is that a nail must be driven in and coaxed out, while a husband has to be driven out. mornings, and coaxed in again, evenings.
