770 Diary of an Engaged Girl j

By PhyW PMHIps

I When -we bad finished our eupper T-e sat and talked for another long time, and Cecil waa all cheerinesa and ! smiles. I knew then the worst, that he had been hungering for a sight of me. In fact he spilled the beans after he l;ad polished off a large dish of red (currant tart! Men are always most exijjansive after a good meal, you know. Of course, I told him that he was very foolish, especially under the circumstances, and that there was nothing to be done about it all, as far as I was concerned; so he had better pull himself together, be a man of the world, and get on with the work at hand. Namely, to go back and take that position he had accepted in Boston, and face things out bravely. As I pointed out within a year he would find some nice girl; that is, if he still wished to be tied down to a wife, and tlen he would have a good, old laugh at his nonsense and his carousings in Paris. "Look at me," cried I. "I'm not as happy as I let the world believe, not (much, but you don't see me careening off to Paris,nor deserting the ship, nor 'anything. But I could, for my daddy

I Gardens, after our supper, and the new 'moon peeped down shyly on us, and I tfelt happier than I had for a long time. T reallv do like being with Cecil ever po much, and especially when I feel tliat I am helping him and necessary to hirn. That's the way of most women, 1 believe. He let me feel and read in every move and tone his need of me, and this was so different from the Cecil of old, the Cecil of the bold attack and the impetuous kiss, that I hardly recognized him. He told me of the bad times he had put in in New York, after we left, and how lonely it was. Daddy was out most of the time, and after he had left and gone up to Boston he just couldn't stand the idea of staying on anywhere in America. So he took the first boat over. At least he had friends here in Europe, and they did count in a fellow's life. We walked all the way back to Russell Square, and sat down a moment on a bench just before I went iu. It was then that Cecil took my hand in his, lifted it to his Hps, and thanked me in a trembling voice for

my goodness to him. Then he promised to meet me tomorrow in Kensington Gardens and to remember hia promise. (To be continued.)

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a married woman past 32 years old and have been married 13 months. I can truthfully say I have not been happy since I have been married. I can't say that I don't care for my husband, for I do, but his disposition toward me nearly kiUs me. He never tries to make over me any more than as if I were a stranger. Whenever I say anything to him about it he says he is tired or it is foolishness. He says if I don't like the way he does to go back home. He thinks because he works hard and makes a good living that is all that is necessary. He does cot realize that a little love with the living would improve conditions. I try so hard to do everything in my power that would please him and he never says a word. If I walk up to him and put my arms around him he either says he Is busy or in a hurry. I am here away from home and all my people and I will tell you it gets awful sometimes, for it is just the same as living alone in a strange city. I have quite a few new friends, but I can't feel right because I haven't anything to encourage me. We haven't any children and my husband doesn't want any. He doesn't like them and does not want even my nephews here for a visit. We have a car and it is all right to go out with a crowd, but if we go out alone he seldom talks to me unless to answer me. I am almost a nervous wreck. I try to fight off this feeling. I dress and go out for a walk or to the show with friends or to some neighbor's home, but when my husband comes home and treats me as he does it is as bad as ever. I don't want to leave him. I just want to know If a man really loves a woman when he treats her In such a way and never seems sorry or tries to be different. What can I do? It seems awful to live with a man for what sef-ras to be just, a living. I can make

my own f and not be grieved all the time. . FLOSSIE. Some men (it is true they are not common) are born without any affection In their natures. Unfortunately, your husband seems to be one of this variety. He la supremely selfish or he would want to please you In little ways when It would be so easy. Since you do not want to leave him, you will have to adjust yourself to the situation. You need not feel that you are making your home with him merely for a living. You love him and you are staying for that reason. Frankly I believe you would be happier if you gave him a chance to try life without you. A visit home for a month or eix weeks would help him realize you have become necessary to his happiness. The experiment would be worth while if it can be arranged. I wish that I could tell you something that would be a real comfort. It is asking too much however, for me to prescribe a method by which you can change the character of a selfish man, lacking in affection I believe your husband loves you as much as he can love anyone aside from himself. Your interest in dress and friends will be your salvation. I think, too, you would be happier if you found a way to be of real service to people who heed your help. Red Cross and social work furnish this opportunity. It is well to be reminded occasionally that ethers have even more to make them sad than you have.

Knightstown Man Diss

AHer Fight and Assault KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind, Aug 31 William Hart; 19 years old, of Knightstown, died Monday afternoon as the result of Injuries suffered in an altercation with Frank Ellis, 30 years old, a farmer residing one and one-half miles southeast of here. The trouble Is alleged to have occurred over a number of chickens, said to have belonged to Ellis, which had been penned up by William Hart Sr., father. of the dead boy. The first trouble occurred when

men working in a tomato patch asked him concerning the chickens. He took offense, believing that Ellis had told them of the trouble. Hart picked up a club about four feet long, and climbing a fence, attacked Ellis. Ellis is said to have warded off the first blow and then grabbed the club from Hart. Witnesses say Hart then made a motion as if to draw a knife and Ellis hit him oyer the head with the club. Hart

becama unconscious after being taken

Ellis bears a good reputation. He has a wife and two children. After learning of Hart's death he started to Newcastle to surrender, but was held here until Sheriff Ralph Yost arrived.

The old type of grocery is all the more picturesque because of the contrast it affords with the modern store, orderly, well designed, clean. The contrast in bakeries is equally marked.
