The Diary of an Engaged Girl
BY Phyllis Phillips

Mrs. Edmonds called this evening
and l enjoyed a real tete-atete with
my future mother-in-law. She is a
kindly soul. I'm sure, and simply
adores her boy Jack.
From eight o'clock until ten
heard more about Jack and his little
peculiarities and ambitions (no faults
of course) than l have ever heard in
all the time l have known him.
Mamma Edmonds just confided in me
the sweetest way imaginable. 1never
dreamed she could unbend so much.
Last time saw her was at tea with
several other women present, SO l
suppose she felt that it was up to
her to play the somewhat distant,
though cordial, grande-dame and all
that, but this trip, such a difference!
Among other things she assured me
wat it wasn't to many young women
Of the present day she'd relish giving
up her son to-but l was an exception.
Sweet words in my young ear Jack,
it seems, is the apple of her eye. The
rest of her household are dear to her,
OF course, but not in quite the same
way as he has always been
Then Mrs. Edmonds told me how
carefully she had brought Jack up,
how devoted she had always been,
and how he had been petted. adding
that she just knew that he was pass
ing on into as tender hands as her
own (meaning mine!). BY this time
! was commencing to distinctly re-
sent Jack and his many virtues, but
held my peace. The conversation con-
tinued. Once or twice in the middle
OF some of her most impassioned pub
Hcity for her son l was tempted to
tell my future mother-in-law that she
was making a grave mistake in en-
trusting him to my care, for | was
woefully lacking in the many virtues
that she considered essential for the
wife OF her boy to possess, but serious

reflection caused me to hold my
counsel.
After all, as l reflected, mothers of
sons are the same the world over
and always will be. Time, not tide
nor daughters-in-law-c ever change
them. VOLTA!
After nearly two hours intimate con
versation / invited Mrs. Edmonds up
to my room to look at my trousseau
or rather some Of it. I wisely de-
cided not to spring all the Frenchy
"pretties" on her just now, and arm in
arm we ascended the stairs.
She gurgled over my clothes but
eyed up my set of De-Maupassant
through her lorgnette, coldly,
thought! Then to my discontinue

than two, or four. somehow-fix them

fragrant photo of Cecil Gust acquired)

By this time, however, l was too
worn out with suppressions to at
tempt any explanations to my visitor
and instead l firmly drew her at
tention to an exquisite set Of under
wear that 1 had bought at a bargain
One of the few, by the way.
IT'S all very lovely, Lindsey, dear,
she said, through her lorgnettes And
aren't there any - any-hand-worke

a sweet smile, Of course) They always
smile when they spring one of these
on you.

Not long afterwards, to be truthful
very rapidly afterwards, Mrs. Ed

quite annihilated yet. 1t must be my
youth that keeps me up!

ELSIE
From a casual survey, it seems al
most incredible that Elsie and AIDE

name. Yet such is the case, since Ell

English form of popular Adelaide.
Signifying noble cheer" Elsie has
its source in the old Teutonic prefix
"Aethel" or "Adel," meaning noble.
Adalheit was one of the first femin-
inc names formed from it and was
much in use among the daughters in
FARMLAND. Adelheid, another form,
named many of the feudal princesses
of the tenth and eleventh centuries.
Adelaide is the French and English
version.
Elsie is the seventh step in the sue

that sweet interval in which all the
rest of the family are busy trying to
find something else for her to do.
The thing that has driven more
women to take the train for Reno and

Bachelor Girl Sayings

Every friend is a looking glass
and we love the flattering ones best.
Why should any man have an aver
sion to marrying a flirt? A girl who
has been kissed before is much less
likely to wonder, after marriage. how
other men make love.
Marriage is like a fireless cooker.
They toughe if they remain in it
long enough, sometimes como out
sweet and tender.
Once upon time you could be a
teetotaler if you wanted to; but now,
if you decline a mans offer to lead
you to his wine cellar, he acts as
hurt as though you had beaten his
only child.
Marriage is not a failure. Some
