The Diary of an Engaged Girl

We are now settled at the Great
central hotel, near Baker street, Lon
don, and not far from Madame Tus-
sauds palace. This hotel is huge and
to me very old-fashioned. 1t is
comfortable. however, and the rooms
are large and airy. One is certainly
waited upon here. Why / have not
seen so many servants in years, and
good ones, too. They dance about
one perpetually, and have such nice
voices.
True to type the first thing we
did yesterday morning was to dash
down to the American Express and see

gazed at the register, and discovered
that Marjorie Rambeau Is In town, sew

and Paul Moeller. His play, Madame
Sand is running here, though it Is a
failure, and due to come off in a

ing everything and peeking into shops
windows to our hearts content. Then
we made our way up to Piccadilly,
and went into Swan and Edgar's, q
big shop there, and looked the stock
over. They certainly do not know
how to dress their shop windows here
in London; that was one of the first
things that struck me. Such hetero-
genous mass of things as they pile up,
confusing the eye and wasting lot OF
good material, to my way of thinking,
for certainly those things got dusty

Sane Fourth Fight Still On.

The Conservation and Fire Prevention
Committee is going ahead without the
aid of City Council, to insist, so far as
possible, at this late date, to lessen the
peril to life and property from an un-
restricted use of fireworks on the Fourth
of Judy. Its persistence IN the work to
minimize the dangers from the use OF
powder on Independence Day is drawing
support and cooperation from dealers
themselves, who are awake to the menace
of the fiery toys prepared for children
The committee is pressing its efforts

desire to exploit itself nor to interfere with
a rational observance of the day. 1t prob
ably appreciates the value OF personal,

cilmen, but it sets higher appraisal on
the lives of the youthful Americans and
the security and safety Of our homes.

MOVING THE CROPS.

From all over the United States, clear
across TO the Pacific Coast, reports indi-
cate crop yields far beyond the May and
early June estimates. This is so not only
as to wheat, which is being harvested in
the widc winter wheat sone, but as TO
fruits and standardized vegetables like
potatoes, beans, onions and the foods
used by the canncrics. There /. an enor-
nous yield of cherries in the Northwest.
The yields of peaches and of apples along
will be far beyond the harvests of these
orchard crops last year. Sugar beets are
coming on fine, corn has started to grow
at healthy pace ell over the country
ii looks now like another record-breaking
farm year. And farm labor conditions in
the Central West are said to be far better
than they were this time last year.
The farm industries are apparently
pretty nearly back to the antebellum nor
NAL, but there is an already looming
trouble IN respect to marketing the crops.
The threat of further disorder in railroad
conditions IN the East comes Mt a time when
the crops are beginning to move to the
ports and TO the big city conters. Perish
able crops, like cherries, berries and
peaches must be marketed when they are

THE UNCHANGING BRYAN.

However it may be with others, Mr.
Bryan informs the reporters at San
Francisco that he will not change. There
will always be one man in the Convention
fighting for the right" Yes, and fighting
IN the same old way. That means, In the
first place, fighting for his own hand. 1t
means dong KS serious harm as he can to
other Democratic leaders. It means con-
trlving as much division and mischief
as possible for his party. 1t means the put
ting forward of half-baked ideas and happy
thought proposals.
In the plank concerning the treaty which
MIR Bryan gave to the press before urging
II upon the Committee on resolutions, all
the vices OF his method leap to the eye. He
cherlshes anlmoslty against the presi-
dent, and seeks TO crafty it by apparently
praislng Mr.. Wilson and Offering to help
him. while In reality doing his best to bring
the presidents plan into disrepute and
causing it to fsil.
But no pent-up Utica can contract
such powers of disturbance and self-ad-
vertsing as Mr.. Bryan possesses 1t would
appear that he intends to range-or de-
range over many features of party policy
throwing sand into the gearing whenever,
he can. Truly, it is the same old Bryan.
And the only wise course for the Demo
Gratis is to deal with him as now habitua
marplot and disturber of the party peace
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
Democrats friendly to the Administration
are IN full control at San Francisco. Sena-
tor Reed, most bitter-tongued of the
Presidents enemies in the Senate, has
appealed to first one committee and then
another to give him q seat in the Conven-
ton but has been overwhelmingly voted
down by both. The Georgia Senator, Hoke
Smith, set up contest for the delegation
from his own State, but was ignominious-
ly defeated. Having thus dealt with the
undisguised opponents of Mr. Wilson, the
Convention may be trusted to mete out
justice to the pretended friend of the
president who is endeavoring TO thrust
knife under his fifth rib.-New York

But the wet prophets are not the only

service equipment swamped and the tide
still rapidly rising, he is lifting pleading
hands above the submerging tide and call

he needs it. During the wartime slackness
in the immigrant business and its ultimate
shutting down altogether, the Ellis Island

Lynchine on the Decline.

The lynchings in this country TOR the
first six months Of the present year num-
bered IL, according to figures compiled by
Tuskegee Institute. This 10 IL less than
for the corresponding month OF last

to death by mobs were Negroes; OF the II
eight were charged with assault. Three
of the lynchings occurred in Minnesota,
the others in Southern States.
+. The decrease Of these expressions OF
mob rule is gratifying in the extreme,
and indicate that in the near future this
kind of punishment may be wholly
abandoned. II lis suggested that pro-
hibition may have been indirectly re-
sponsible for the improved condition, but,
of course, this is merely surmise.

Loss T. Lovers Of Flowers.

M. Henry Lynch, who died under the
surgeons knife. a day or two ago, was
perhaps the highest authority on rose
propagation in this country. He was the
head of big rose growing concern at
West Grove, Pa, that ships its products
to all parts of the world. Although his
passing is but briefly noted in the news
papers, and probably will be little headed
among his colleagues, the lovers OF pretty
flowers everywhere will hold him in CRATE
full memory for the pleasure he has af-
forded them and for the advancement OF
rose growing, which he brought almost
to perfection.
1t is a splendid work to have given tis
new forms Of bloom. new color ar shades
and hardy plants that safely survive un-
certain winters.
It is better to have discovered new
rose or to have improved on the varieties
that we have than have led an army in
battle. Flowers have such an important
place in the cultural owe for the beautiful
and so inspire an appreciation OF Natures s
gifts, that the man who trains them so
that they will become more beautiful
and lasting under the sun of summer has
done big work for his fellow man.

THIRTY WARS AND THE LEA CUE.

The observe tion Of q European CORES
pondent that there are 30 wars in progress
I'D spite OF the League of Notions, may be
technically true, though we have seen no
list of the 30 wars. But the epigram is mis-
leading; it is out of focus and lacks per-
spective.
If 80 wars are in progress they are
internal wars, which are not within the
purView of the league. or they are in
coutries which have not yet accepted
the peace. The League of Nations be-
gins when the Supreme Allied Council
ends. A. &. GARDENERS opinion that the
Council is a dangerous despotism which
should be dissolved at once and replaced
by the League is partly true. But the
Supreme Allied Council has contracted
TO Premiers Millerand and Lloyd George
because the Senate would not ratify the
peace treaty. Japan is not concerned
in European but in Oriental, affairs, and
Italy has too many anxieties at home to
give much attention to matters beyond
its new boundaries.
The same refusal of the Senate keeps
the United States out of the League of
Nations, very seriously impairing its
prestige and its power of action. The
League comes into action after the sue
cessor To the peace conference concludes
peace. These 80 wars, if there are indeed
so many, are mostly in Turkey, which
has not accepted the terms of peace and
whose ostensible Government is under
the guns of the Allied war vessels, but
the interior of which is occupied by Turk
ish insurgents and bandits and deserters
from the Turkish armies, and in Russia.

Big Gro ps in the West.

Washington sends out the welcome
news that the outlook for wheat crop,
now that the harvests are getting under
way will be far in excess of the esti-
mates announced by the Agricultural
Department for June. The winter wheat
yield will be 10000, 900 bushels more
than was predicted month ago. This is
cheering news to the consumer for q
half billion bushels of wheat more than
was expected may mean considerable
reduction in the price of -four which has
reached SIG a barrel.
The increases noted by the Agricultural
Department are based onreportsfrom the
Southwest and the western grain belts.
They do not include the Eastern States
where there is some decrease in the prob
able harvest. such for example as Penn
svlvania, where the wheat estimate is
10000 bushels below last years harvest
and Delaware, where the crop is lighter
than that of 1919.
The West and far West and the North
west send also the cheering news that
fruit trees of all kinds will yield more
bounteously than for number OF years.
The apple orchards, the peach trees will
soon be bowling under the burden Of their
growing loads, while the yield of small
fruits and berries will be limited only by
the bearing capacity of the bushes or vines.
The vastness and fertility of our country
seems to assure us against a shortage Of
almost all kinds of foods and only for the
grip of the prehteers and the high rates
of freights we could almost expect de-
cline in prices that have sent the high cost
of living up to what long ago seemed the
apex of the peak.

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Guest
A GOOD WORLD.

It's a good old world and true old world,
In spite of the wrong we rec,
An the naughty lips which in sneers are
curled,
Don't steal any Joy from me:
For the selfish hearts an the cruel hands
May walk in the ways o sin,
But the boom still comes 20 the clover
lands
An there's pence for us all 10 win.
The trees still offer their friendly shade
To the strong an the tired an faint
An the sky ever asks you what's your
trade
Or are you sinner or saint;
The sun smiles down on us one an all,
An the roses blossom, too,
An whether we rise or whether we fall,
The day says how-do you do?
Oh, we hear 30 much of the good an bad,
So much in the praise o. skill,
That we're apt TO think they are only glad
Who stand on the topmost hill:
But the sky bends over the hurnblest boy
In tho way that it greets the king,
An the hand o. man cannot steal the Joy
Which the days o. summer bring
The breeze never asks about caste or creed,
An the orchards know no pride,
Though men may fatter daring deed
An fawn at monarch's side:
The birds an the trees an the sun an
the sky
Know nothing Of good or bad,
For they smile on ali Of US travelin' by
An hope that we all are glad.

Fashions for Would-Be Divorces.

Paris modistes and New York dress
designers should give heed to the pro-
nouncements on women's dress--and par
ticularly on tho style Of dress affected by
women who seek the dissolution Of the
marital tie uttered by an Ohio Judge. To
the timid plea that some of the women
who appear before him costume them
selves dinphanously, briefly and lightly
because of the heat, Judge Frank w.
Geiger, of Common Pleas Court at Spring
field, retorts with Puritan severity:
81 don't care il it is as hot as hades.
These women have got to wear more
clothes when they come into court. THIS
thing of peck waists and see-more
skirts has got to stop"
Greetings to Judge Geiger upon his
entrance into the ranks Of dress designers
and censors. He will now confer great
benefit, not only upon would-be divorces,
but upon the women's world as a whole, If
he would kindly designate what amount OF
clothing, either by weight of material or
by thickness and impenetrability of tex
ture, woman should wear if she wishes to
conform to the requisite standards or
establish reputation for conservatism in
his court.
Questions crowd in large and insistent
volume upon Judge Geiger's censorship OF
the costumes Of fair seekers Of divorce:
What is peek-a-boo waist1
And what-oh. what's q see-morc
skirt?
When is it hot enough to don and pub
licly wear peek-a-boo skirt7
And at what degree of temperature
assuming the temperature of hades at
xero-is it permissible, discreet and safe to
wear a see-more waist?

tween the ages of fifteen and seventy-five
