TZre Diary of an Engaged Girl j By PhyUto Phillips
Had several letters today from Ani- j erica. Two from my boy, and they made me feel so happy. Ho Is well and working hard, and making plans end lota of money for "his little bird," as he calls me! And he reminded me that all the beauties that I was so fcusy seeing over here now, would be as nothing compared to what he is going to show me, in the heart of the Rocky mountains, on our honeymoon. "Nothing to beat the scenery that I came through on my way here, darl Ing." he wrote, "and as for sunsets and twilights (the two things that I had raved about from here in my last letters to him), well, if you can find anything to make you weep with wonder and delight, more than the sun dipping behind one of the snow-capped mountain peaks, or several of them, at sun-down and painting the mour. tains and valleys all the colors that the heart of man loves and craves for then I'll say that you have discovered Paradise, and this that I write about is only a resting place on the way!" Grand description, isn't it? That is enough to make any girl feel like flying with happiness, and most of all I loved the way he told me he missed me. Jack is really far more poetical than most people give him credit for. But he is such a modest chap that he does not care to advertise the fact, like some of the people I know, and so is. often counted as one of the "ordinary" mortals or some such creature. However, I should worry. He is mine, or on the way of becoming so, and I love him. In the same mail came a letter from Jean and two from Dorry, and mother from Cecil, telling me that Now York had proved too empty for him since my departure, and he was If-aving it in a few days now. He did not tell me where he was going, and did not refer to the job up in Boston that he had been carrying on negotiations about. He was most mysterious. I met an awfully good looking boy fit the National gallery this morning. II" picked up my catalogue when 1 dropped if. and then we spoke and T found out that he, too, was an artist. His nam1 ir, Roy Bromley, and ho lives in Chelsea near Chayne Walk, and he's asked me to come out to see Bome of his work and meet his sister whom he lives with. He also told me lie bad been all through the war in the tank service, and nver got evrn a scratch so there an some lucky ones, you see. We wandered all through the galleries and had on awfully good time together. He is not a flirtatious sort at all, and seemed much more interested in hearing about America and the work I was doing there than in me, which was quite all right under the circumstances. 1
have promised him to come out one afternoon next week, with Aunt Cecilia, and stay for high tea. She will love to go, I know and will under stand that he is a nice sort of person and all that. She always does. (To be continued.)

man's make-up; and without It, NO woman can lead him in the way in which he should go. Verily, verily, through his vanity, a man may be flattered into heaven; whereas nagging driveth him to perdition; and coercion rolleth off his soul, as water off a mackintosh. For, a man's conscience may be lost or mislaid. It dependeth upon his digestion. It
sleepeta on the job. 1 But his VANITY taketh no holidays. j
It worketh day and night, without ceasing. It is self-starting. And, so long as a spark thereof still Hveth, there is HOPE for him!
(Copyright. 1920. by The 'Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) How long, oh thou Foolish One, wilt thou continue to cry out against the Vanity of men? For, verily, verily, I say unto thee a little VANITY is more potent than a New England conscience! And though vanity may be the cause of many a man's sins, it is likewise the source of most of his virtues. Go to! Is it not vanity that causeth him to shave his chin, and maketh his kisses endurable? Is it not vanity that maketh him to resist gluttony, lest he lost his waistline and his fatal charm? Is it not vanity that prompteth him to cultivate the arts and graces so dear to thine heart, lest he be called "dub" amongst men, and written down a "boor" amongst women? Is it not vanity that driveth him to the polishing of his booth and his finger-nails. and the pressing of his garments, that he may appear "prosperous?" Is it not vanity that driveth him to lard work and great achievement, that the world may say of him, "Lo, he is a SUCCESS!"?
Is it not vanity that maketh him to J
De scrupulous in the payment of his debts lest he be called "four-flusher", and inspireth him to be generous with his moneys. Jest he be termed "cheapskate" and "tightwad"? Is it not vanity that inspireth him to acquire knowledge, lest he be named '"ignoramus"? Is it not vanity that maketh him to adorn his wife in jewels and fine raiment, for the confusion and admiration of the multitude? Yea, even his morality and uprightness may poradventure, be inspired by vanity, that he may hear himself acclaimed, "worthy," amongst the righteous. Go to! Was it not the vanity of Napoleon, that, drove him on to victory? And the vanity of Diogenes that caused him to be truthful? And the vanity of Hercules, that inspired him to feats of strength and courage? Yea, verily. And the vulnerable spot in Hercules, as in every man, wa3 NOT his heel, but in his vanity! Then, I charge thee, seek not to shatter thy Beloved's vanity. For this is the softest spot in a
Heart Problems
I. like many others, come to you for advice. I am a girl of 23 years. My parents are both living and reared seven children. Five are dead. My father is just a common workman, but owing to my parents strict economy I can say that they are in fairly good circumstances. I am engaged to a well educated young business man but he wants me to go to school for two years to get an education and wants to stand all expenses. Would it be right for me to accept this? I have no money of my own. Thanking you in advance for your answer, I am yours with respect, L. L. A Constant Observer. Dear Constant Observer: I have been thinking about your problem for several days. It would not be right for you to allow the man to whom you are engaged to send you to school under the present circumstances. It is very unselfish and big-hearted of him to offer to do so, It is true, but it would not be proper the way the world looks at such things. It may seem like a very arbitrary rule to you but we cannot change things like that, my dear girl. If you are very, very sure that you love him and that you will never meet anyone else that you can care for as much as you do him, T am going to suggest another plan. Marry your sweetheart and then let him send you to school. I warn you that you will be running the dangers that are sure to come from being separated, but i you really love each other a great eal. the separation will not make any difference. First, my sister, look well into your heart and see if you can stand the test.

"What", asked a customer recently "has caused the sharp advance in the price in gasoline?" And our answer was substantially as follows : The advances in the selling price of gasoline which have occured since January 1st, were due primarily to the increased cost of crude oil. The market on all grades of crude took an upward trend during the latter part of 1919, and has been climbing steadily since that ticoe. During 1919 gasoline prices remained stationary, the refiners absorbing the increased cost of crude as long as it was possible to do so. In January, 1920, gasoline prices generally were advanced to meet the increasing cost of raw material. Another factor was the practical exhaustion of gasoline reserves brought about by the unprecedented demands for this fuel. During the first months of this year the consumption of gasoline greatly exceeded production. But the primary reason was the consluntly increasing price of crude oil. Still other reasons for the mounting prices are the greatly increased cost of labor, of steel, and of other items used in manufacture; also the constantly advancing cost of marketing and distribution. Everything that goes into the refining of petroleum is very expensive today. But the primary and controlling reason is found in the increasing cost of crude. In keeping with its well-known policy, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been able to maintain low prices for gasoline in the face of advancing prices for crude oil because of its large scale operation and refining, and its complete and economical system of distribution. And, also, because of its advanced facilities for obtaining a maximum quantity of gasoline from a given quantity of crude. The Middle West depends largely upon gasoline power for producing food stuffs. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is straining every fibre of its highly specialized organization to meet this demand.
