The Diary of an Engaged ' Girl

Sitting there In Kensington Gardens.

in the half light that follows an English sunset, I managed to get my cousin's whole wretched confession from him, , bit by bit It was not a pretty story, and yet he seemed quite hardened to anything and everything. Said he was born to be bad, and disappointed. You see, when be saw his old girl (she that had broken him up here in England, or rather the one he had decided would ruin his life, if he married her), gone to the dogs, It made him feel conscience-stricken, and as though he were entirely to blame for her collapse! 1 explained to him that this was all nonsense, for if a girl is eo weak-willed as to ruin her own life and chances, just because she happens not to arouse love in the man she haa set her heart on, why It Is her own fault, nobody else's. It would be different if Cecil's former sweetheart were a poor, lonely waif or some such, but such Is not the caes. Her parents were and are In very good circumstances, and she has had a good education, I think I finally made him see this point, clearly, and then he seemed to feel a bit better, though he kept repeating that that was not really what had broken him up so. It was well, to be quite frank, it was myself! Cecil falls in love hard, and takes his reverses hard. Of course this did not make me feel very cheerful, as you may imagine, for it's not the pleasantest thing in the world to realize that you have helped to ruin some fellow being, especially one you are genuinely fond of, and all that. Still 1 do think it rather weak of Cecil to tell me this. Instead of keeping it to himself, and flKhtine it out with himself, and by himself! That's what I do, and that's what I believe in. At the end of several hours I had worked him round into an almost optimistic frame of mind, and he had even developed an appetite. That's always a hopeful sign in the young! t As long as one can still sit up and enjoy a HtMe nourishment one is not on the fade-away list, not by a Jtfg full. I suggested a little supper, somewhere, and then a hasty retreat to the Maison. for I knew that mother would worry her head off until I returned. Probably would think I was moonstruck and wandering about whispering Jack's name to the winds, somewhere! Little does she suspect that Tier daughter was busy giving first aid to the lovelorn. Cecil waved his hand tragically at the mere mention of the word "food." H does strike a vulgar note to a tragic one, I'll say, but I was firm. Pointed out to him that I was cold and very hungry and certainly entitled to have n bite of food even if he did not care for same. (This was wily on my part). He arose with a weary air and bowed his head and let me lead him to

it! I lured 'Mm towards a quiet little

restaurant that I knew of, not far from our refuge, one that harbored a throbbing, yet discreet Hungarian orchestra. Here we found a corner, and when we were fairly seated the old boy grinned over at me, quite cheerily. I told him that flame was much more pleasant for me, and we ordered some wine. "Cheery-o," quoth I, smiling over my glass at Cecil. "Same to you and many of them, you most wonderful, golden girl," answered he, quote saucily, for one so prostrated. And then the ice was broken. We had a humming little dinner, and the music Just made me tingle. I felt happy for the first time in several days, yet did not understand why I should, for I had been listening to a hard-luck story for three and a half hours on an empty stomach. Decided that It must be because I had played the Good Samaritan, and all women love to do that

Heart Problems

Dew Mrs. Thompson: I am a senior boy in high school. I have never attended school social events and have never cared about or taken girls anywhere but have given my time to work and study, in which I have al ways succeeded quite well. I harve a few girl classmates living in my part of town. Would it be cor

rect to take my girl friends places? I am tDld I am too serious and solemn. How i can I be more sociable and carry on conversation in real life? I do not like powder and paint girls, as that is not to be admired in a girl. Probably if more girls remembered this they would not call me silly and selfish as one of your correspondents did. A mitn has the right to choose the kiad of girl he wants to work for and spend his life with. BOOK WORM. It i& not too late now to take your girl friends places. It would be entirely correct to do so. It agree with you in your attitude toward girls. If girls would only realize that the right kind of man does not admire powder and paint, they would not use it. But they won't see the truth until it is too late. They powder and paint and act cheap until they marry some man who likes that sort of thing. Then in a few mouths they find themselves deserted because the husbajid has found a now pretty face which is powdered and painted and ?hows plainly that tne girl has no objections to going with a married man. IC you are too serious you must learn to play. A life of labor is not com plefce any more than one that is all search for pleasure. Both work and play are necessary to make a rich lifij. Don't worry about your conver-

raven-tressed, red-lipped, coquette of Spain. Monica is thought to have Its earliest origin with the Greek term "domo," meaning "to rule." Dominica is a direct offspring of this word and there hare been Saints Dominica, Do

mingo and Dominlco without number. I One holy man by that name, who is'

associated with the Inquisition, had namesakes in all the Romanist lands, and the feminine of this popular title came to be officially Domenica; for short, Menica. The mother of Saint Augustine was the first to be called Monica. Some etymologists even believe that her name should be classified as one coming directly from the Latin verb "moneo," meaning "to advise," but the consensus of opinion Is that Monica was evolved In the manner aforementioned. Monica is also a favorite in France and the peasantry call it Monique. Moncha is the Irish form. The emerald is Monica's talismanic gem. It is believed 1 to bestow upon her the gift of foretelling or sensing future events.

MONICA Monica is not nearly as popular a name as it deserves to be. Not only has it beauty of sound and significance, but a strikingly interesting history as well. It cones to us almost direct from the Spanish, but is nevertheless regarded as an English name and is more popular in England than in its native country. Many a goldenhaired, blue-eyed English girl bears the name first used to designate a

PASTOR SCORES COVENANT AS ATHEISTIC DOCUMENT

WARSAW, Ind., Aug. 30 "The most atheistic document in world literature is the treaty of peace and the league of nations covenant," declared Dr. Courtland Myers of Boston, Mass., in an address before the Winona Bible conference. In explaining this startling statement, Dr. Myers pointed out that the name of God is not in it and the deliberations were carried on without prayer. "There has not been a speech in the United States senate in the last 10 years worth keeping and worth handing down to posterity," said the speaker. "All the speeches are mere words representing the lowest type of politics."

(Copyright 1920, by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) Sometimes, I think that, next to caterpillars. Jazz bands, and a vain man, The thing I dislike most in this whole wide world. Is a perfectly "honest" person, with perfectly good intentions! The kind th'at tells you when your hat is not becoming;, and when you have "made a fool of yourself." And that you axe getting too fat to wear plaids, or too old to wear babyblue and all those 6weet little truths, "for your OWN good"! The world is so full of them Careless, bungling, and chattering people, Who go about blithely dropping

poison into other people s minds. There is the woman who drops the poison of discouragement into her husband's mind, for instance. "Oh, Tom!" she says. "Give it up. You KNOW you can't succeed at that!" And there is the man who drops the poison of self-consciousness and humiliation into his wife's mind. "Why do you dress like a flapper," he ' remarks, witheringly. "at YOUR age?" Or, "Who told you thta you were a Ninon de IEnclos?" And there is the woman who drops the poison of Jealousy into another woman's mind, And the person who drops the poison of suspicion into a young wife's mind, by telling her to "keep her eyes open", and not "trust a man too far," And the person who drops the poison of discontent into a young husband's mind, by calling his attention to his wife's little lapses or Imperfections, And all the "helpful" people, who insist on pulling other people down from the "Seventh Heaven" or out of their "Fool's Paradise"! Personally, I should rather go about all my life long, telling sweet encouraging, FIBS. Than to run the risk of letting fall ONE DROP of mental poison The poison of fear, of discouragement, of unhappiness, of self-deprecation, of hopelessness. Into another person's soul! Of course, I know that FIBBERS won't go to Heaven. But, if all the good, honest "poisondroppers" are going there, as they think they are Well, perhaps, one might find it more fascinating, To go where one would meet a lot of INTERESTING people. Like Cleopatra, and Napoleon, and Henry VIII, and Baron Munchausen, and Ananias, And all the other pleasant FIBEERS! Anyway,

Beware of the Poison-Droppers! For cyanide or prussic acid MAY be pumped out of the system, But Mental Poison gets into the blood and heart and SOUL And nothing but the alchemy of Flattery Will dissolve it! And nothing' will heal the seared spots. It leaves upon the spirit!

HPHIS epitomizes the situation accurately. It also indicates how great is the task of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). But fuel for automotive power must be supplied. Especially is this true in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because in this area the bread-basket of the nation so large a percentage of the gasoline is consumed in producing food. Take away even cripple the automotive power on the Middle West farms and food prices will soar because of decreased production. The power-driven tractor is the only means by which the farmer can cope successfully with the shortage of man-power. By extensive research and intensive application the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased the yield of gasoline from crude to the greatest degree yet known. But it is not satisfied. The Company is striving to further increase the yield so that the use of the tractor, truck, the automobile, and the stationary gas engine may be used freely and without restriction. It is apparent that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by increasing the yield has exerted, also, a downward influence on the price of gasoline. Standard Oil Company 910 So.
