The Diary of an Engaged Girl
BY Phyllis Phillips

in a grand, chivalrouS manner that
made me thrill with pride for Aunt
Cecilia. And he was calling her
"Cecile," which must be some idea of
his own about her name!
"Jeffry," said Aunt Cecilia ever so
softly, as If she was fearful of dis
turbing a phantom: ooh, Jeffry."
Then he sat down with US and turn
ed out to be no other than Aunt Ce-
elias old lover-no, young-for they
both looked like a couple of kids on
a holiday.
Such a reunion, such questionings.
Straight off he looked down at her
left hand, l suppose to see if she was
married or not, and she only smiled
adorably and looked deeper into his
eyes She knew instinctively that he
was not married. My sex is much
cleverer in these things, somehow. it
is perfectly agreed.
Jeffry Davenport was certainly at
tractive and it seems that he had just
landed that morning from India and
was stopping at the hotel. What a
wonderful accident that brought him
right to Aunt Cecilia the very day OF
his arrival, and after twelve years,
too. Well, the world is very small
after all.
While those two were finding them
selves and Jeffry's blue eyes were
glued to Aunt Cecilia's soft starry
ones, Jack and l suddenly discovered
Fthat we had something dreadfully
important to do ourselves, somewhere
any where but in that tearoofn-and
at that table. They hardly noticed us
slipping away, SO engrossed were they
in each other.
Jack and l spent long time dis
cussing the reunion of the pair and
came to the conslusion that there
would be two weddings in the family
before long instead of one. It's most
exciting, all of this. as you will admit
Dear, darling Aunt Cecilia, I'm &C
happy for her I can hardly write this
/ wish that l felt half as sure of my
self as she looked when we left ] al
most wish that had her experience
behind me, though that is dreadful
thing to whisper to oneself under the
! circum stances.

Such thrilling things have happened
since this morning. Most wonderful
things. Mostly to do with my Aunt
Cecilia.
We dressed up in our prettiest
clothes this afternoon and she really
looked as young as 1 did, in her soft
old-rose dress and white furs. Lots
of people looked at her as we went
into the hotel to meet Jack.
Jack was in high feather and glad
to see Aunt Cecilia, whom he admires
very much. We talked and had a
lovely time. The music was entranc
ing and Jack and l were so happy
with each other. l told him about the
European trip and although he looked
ment of our wedding he just acted like
a brick and said he wouldn't have me
miss such a chance for anything-not
even for his happiness. 1t was very
noble of him. really. He looked sc
clean and handsome when he said this
to me and l squeezed his hand under
the table. You see, he knows that he
won't have chance to take me tC
Europe for several years, himself, as
his business is just getting under way
here and he couldn't possibly leave
it for some time to come.
Well, as we were billing and coo;ns
and paying no attention to anything
but ourselves we heard Aunt Cecilia
give queer little gasp and then saw
her go pale.
We turned and followed her eyes
and as we did so l noticed tall, very
distinguished man standing in the
doorway Of the tearoom with his eye:
fixed on Aunt Cecilia.
Aunt Cecilia got up, murmurine
'Jeffry," and then sank back again
she was trembling all over
The tall man walked over to a table
next to us, and then he faced Aun
Cecilia and smiled a still, rapturou
smile.
AT his look she flushed to the mos
wonderful girlish scarlet and looked
hungrily at him as she bowed he
head.
In an instant he was over at ou
table and lifting her hand to his lip

such as the one described by Brown

His jealousy drove all my friends

looked at me I would get lecture
and he would ignore the party entire

Isn't it a pity that there are so
many people with spoiled and sulky
natures and violent tempers? With

they might have been lovable and

to reform now.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of
90 and have been keeping company
with a boy Of the same age for nearly
a year. He has treated me fine in every
respect, with the exception of drinking
several times. He always tells me
about it when he has been drinking.
| He does nothing out of the way when
he does drink.
He seems to be a nice fellow and
comes from a respectable family. Two
or three years ago his reputation was

as he did then and | really believe he
intends to hold out doing better. He
said he would for my sake.

You knew that he went to business
every morning, promptly at nine
o'clock, and returned every evening,
in time for dinner.
That he would vote the straight Re.
publican ticket, no matter if the
heavens fell.
That he shaved every day, kept his
watch in order, loved baseball, and
"pooh-poohed" the thought of Woman
Suffrage
That he had the "Umm'' habit, and
always ate his dinner with the news
paper propped up in front of him
That he thought Schopenhauer was
the name of a sausage, Omar kaiyyam
fancy brand of cigarettes, and lbane7
a Russian dancer.
That he always paid the rent
promptly, always growled about the
laundry bills, always stumbled over his
shoes at night, and always tipped the
waiter EXACTLY a quarter.

a cute little bow in the back,

was trying to be a man, which l am
sure he is. They did not want to be-
lieve it, for they always have some
objections to the boys l go with.

and have lots of friends. Of course
Go not want to do anything to cheaper

really loves me and l believe he does.
| am sure love him and it will break
my heart to give him up. Please ad-
wise me what to do. WORRIED.
Drinking now is inexcusable. If
your friend drinks to any extent now
that is illegal, your sister and her hus-
band are justified in the stand they
take. I believe with them that it
would be better to give up the young
man than to spoil your own reputation.
There are so many men with whole
some habits that it is foolish to walk
right into trouble. Unless the young
man loves you enough to consider your
reputation and to protect it with his
good conduct, he will not make a good
husband. Let reason rather than i'm
pulse govern you in this matter, since
the happiness Of the great part of your
life depends upon the judgment you
show now.
