The Diary of an Engaged Girl
By Phyllis Phillips
ffonsleur le Comte was very gay, rd very attentive ,to me all evening, liked that, of course, and I also liked his manner of bending over me, whenever he talked, or listened to
what I had to say. Mostly he laughed j In a Joyful way, and more often he looked into my eyes, with his happy, heavenly, blue ones. Cecil was annoyed from the start, that I knew at once, but there was no reason to be peevish just because a good-looking man happened to like me.- Seemed perfectly natural to me, for after all I'm young and not half bad looking, and why on earth shouldn't men like to see and be with me? ' I have always had an overwhelming curiosity about the real Polish people, and now at last I had seen and met one, and found him most fair to see, and most dashing, just as I had pictured the men of his race to be. He talked to me in a musical voice, and most of the time let his eyes speak for him. "The eyes, mademoiselle, should convey 'the language of the heart to the one we admire always," which is a pretty idea. It's so wonderful to find that there are still men who love romance, and woo women with ardour and poetry. Any girl loves same that Is, if she is truthful. The count and I got along famously, and I sang a French song with him, and tried to learn one or two words of his language, which caused him to kiss both of my hands with delight. It was all too lovely for words, and I was finding Paris just as I had hoped to find it Young, full of Romance, and Tolerant. Once during the evening Cecil had to leave our table and speak to two English ladies who were sitting in an
other part of the cafe. It was while we were alone together that the count became fiery, and leaned over me most Intensely as he begged me to meet him again soon very soon for he
must see me again, and alone. I laughed at his words at first but
when I saw a pained look creep into
his blue eyes, and the laugh die on his lips, I felt awfully mean, somehow, and I realized that foreign men are not like our men; they cannot stand
being laughed at not under any cir
cumstances. They fire up wild-eyed
on the spot if a girl laughs at them for anything. Poor Antoine looked so truly miser
able that I told him that I would meet him at the Brasserie de Lilas or at
the Rotonde the next afternoon, at
three o'clock, but that I could not stay with him for long, as my mother was oh. very strict, and did not really
permit me to go out alone in Paris ever!
Cecil looked at me suspiciously when he returned, and I suppose I did look guilty, for the count had Just pressed my hand to his heart, profoundly, as Cecil slipped into his seat. I am not used to the ways and means
Heart Problems
Dear Mrs. Thompson If a couple is separated, can the woman take the
child away from her husband if sh
is as fit as he is? She went with
other men during their married life,
and he never took her any place. The
child is now with his sisters who take care of her through the day and they
have their evenings spoiled by her
while he runs around nights. Do you think he should take care of her evenings while the sisters go for the
evening? Give me your opinion,
, please. A. B. C.
The law usuaUy gives a child to its
mother. If, however, her conduct dur
ing marriage would indicate that she
would not be the right kind of mother
for the child, some foster parents are
found. Since neither the father nor
the mother were faithful to their mar
riage, the child was given to the fath
er's sisters, who probably are of good
character. oubtiess they do not.
expect the man to stay home and take
care of the little one. The child is in their charge and they enjoy caring
for it.
Airs. Li. t. u. : you and your
young husband certainly need advice
which I can not give you in my col
umn. Go to a physician and he will
tell you things which will help you.
At thirteen years of age you are too
young.
"Leona": Since your parents do not
object to your going with the yourg man, it will be all right to do so. Always remember that a girl can not be
too cautious in choosing her friends
In regard to your work, you are quite
; right in asking for a bigger wage.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a lover
and have been keeping steady com
pany with him a whole year. We never had any quarrels and get along
splendidly.
This young man is 23 years old and I am 20. For a short time he has been
talking of marriage to me. He hasn't asked me outright to be his wife. He told me just as soon as he would have
enough money he and I could get mar
rled. I have known this young man for several years. We used to nlav
together. Furthermore my father and
grandmotln . ' have known his parents
before he came into this world. He said he wouldn't marry me now, but it wouldn't be more than a year that we would have to wait. He wants me to have everything convenient so that I will not have to kill myself working. All of my relatives and my parents like him very much. When he was talking about waiting a while I told him I would if I knew he really wanted me. He said, "I have wanted you ever since I have been dreaming of a pretty home. I always had you in my dreams as a wife." Do you think he really wants to marry me although he hasn't asked me outright? Do you think I am doing right by letting him kiss me? I knew him six years before I let him kiss me. He never asked me to before we went together steady. He asked me one time, "Would you be my wife if I asked you?" I told him I would give him my answer when be jsked me. He said he would never think of taking up a girl's time so long and not mean to marry her. QUESTION. You should consider yourself engaged. Proposals are made in various ways and since the young man has told you that he wants to marry you and asked you to wait for him you have every reason to take him at his word. Tell him some time that you would like an engagement ring. Say that a ring means more to a girl than a man can realize. Under the circumstances it is all right to kiss the young man.
of foreign men as yet, and don't know how to act when being "rushed" by one of them. Several Americans came into the Rotonde while we were -there, and
some of them vaguely familiar to me.
One was dear, sunny Andrew Dasberg,
looking more Parisian than Fans. And two or three girls with sleek, bobbed locks, strolled in, quite matter-
of-factly, and took their places at a
round table, filled with young artists and writers, I judged. Everyone was very happy and gay. and one felt that
one was sitting in the heart and soul of the Latin quarter, and a genuin3
Latin quarter at that!
We stayed and watched the iun
grow fast and furious, till eleven. Then Cecil marched me home.

tributes its derivation to "lid", mean-

' The latter was the first Christian duchess in Bohemia. 1 This unfortunate lady was strangled by her heathen daughter-in-law, Dragotina, the mother of Boleslav and Venceslav, but she let a sainted name which proved a favorite among Slavoian women. . It was quickly contracted, however, to Lida or Lidiska. The Russians call
it Ljudmilla. Lida was popular in England and likewise 1n this country. To the modern custom of changing "i" into "y" wherever possible, may be attributed the Lyda which is in vogue today. The opal is Lyda's talismanic gem. It will prove a protection against sorrow and will bring her great personal charm, according to an old belief. Friday is her lucky day and 6 her lucky number.

The Ppnnhet nf tVin Fomtnlnc'
The man, who has written reams
and reams about nothing;
That is, about nothing but the ruf

The man who has laid bare our
souls, exposed our secrets, turned the
light on our little weaknesses, and
petty sins.
Torn the vein from out hidden de

Hall W. L. George, the intrepid The unsuspecting Daniel, blithely

Perhaps, he will even try to explain that cryptic thing, "a woman's REASON" . Or at least, will admit that a woman always HAS a reason if she can only think what it is! He will insult our intellects and flatter our charms, in the same breath. (Unless he insults us, we shall be awfully disappointed!) He will bestow a pat on our heads with one velvet-gloved hand.
And a blow in tha solar-plexus of our i
vanity, with the other. He will bi-sect our brains and dissect our emotions, Ties us in knots and "Houdini" us out of them. Feed us bitter truths in sugar-coated pellets and sweet flatteries in the lemon-sauce of satire. He will DO US UP BROWN! And what will we women do to HIM? Ignore him, snub him, annihilate him? We will NOT! We'll tumble over each other in our mad rush to hear him. We'll fight to get him for our clubs, feed him into a comatose state, and flatter him into an opium dream! What do WEcare what a man says about us, so that he talks to us about OURSELVES? It's such a delightful change for a married woman, anyhow! And besides, it's so flattering to be taken seriously! (At least seriously enough to be made a life-study and a source of income! ) Let's go! There won't be a man in the place, to distract us, Because, every man believes in his hrarts, that HE, alone is "The Man Who Understands Women ! "
Eagles Plan Minstrel Entertainment, Nov. 8-9
Plans for the Eagle Minstrel show to be given at the Murray theater, Nov. 8 and 9, are beginning to take shape, Gus Johanning, Albert Morel and Howard VanZant, members of the committee in charge, reported to the local aerie at its meeting last Wednesday
night.
Rehearsals for the aerie entertainment will be started soon. It is planned to make the lodge minstrels one of the most complete evenings of fun that has ever been staged by the Eagles. Lodge dues in the Eagles' lodge have been reduced from 85 cents to 75 cents as a result of the recent ruling of the national lodge in convention that the 10 cents per month war tax be abolished.
