The Diary of an Engaged Girl

all queens do, before answering. Then
with a slow smile told him that

morning.
We meandered to a discreet table,
somewhat screened off from the rest
of the room, which disguised me,
though it seemed to please Jack, and

and was secretly tickled at the sensa-

breast. Dear, funny Jack. l must
certainly strike him as being an un-
expected person. But he loves me for
that very reason, I know. The instinct
of the very young is unerring, believe
me.
To my utter discontinue, Jack sud

Frances Terrible Losses

PARIS, May 21-What is perhaps
the first concise and comprehensive
statement of Frances war losses has

during the five years of the war g.

100000 We're killed, 100000 manned
and 10000 wounded. France thus
lost 81 per cent of her men under 80
years of age.
Concerning material losses, Capt.

Lauretta made her debut as femin-

Her next appearance was in the lime

into popular usage throughout Eng

CRANK CASES
NEED DRAINING

That automobile engineers are rec
ognizing the Importance of the fire.
1uert draining and refilling of the
crank cases of automobile engines as
means Of prolonging the life of the
engine is shown by the fact that the
majority Of the manufacturers are
now including in their books of in
structions recommendation that the
crank case be drained and refilled with
fresh oil as often as every 250 to 500
niles.
In the past kerosene has ben used
for the cleaning Of crank cases, but
automobile engineers are now recon-
mending a very light oil with lubri-
eating properties for this purpose.

Standard Oil Company, he stated tnat

ment Of his marriage to Marie Do
lecki, who, he asserts, is Mrs. De-
Smell, wife of an architect at Butte,

The complaint in the case relates

advertisement of woman who
claimed to be attractive, to have
$4,000 and a desire to marry for
love and con?panionshir.
Dolecki claims that the woman
who came here to wed him, disap-
peared the day after the wedding
with his suitcases, 500 worth of war
savings stamps, $3.50 in cash. $4,000
worth of mining stock and other ar
ticles belonging to him.
All his wife left him, Dolecki says,
was a note, declaring she had been
called to Chicago on account of the
illness of sister.
Mrs. Dolecki, or DeSnell, was
brought back to Portland to face
three criminal charges and was sent
