The Diary of an Engaged Girl

Cecil and l had the very best sort
Of q time all evening. We got on
famously, and ! guess we both had
been feeling dead lonely or something
and had met at the psychological mo-
ment. Anyhow, we just laughed, and
enjoyed every moment Of the time to-
gether. l declare l never found out
before how nice he is. Seems funny,
too, for he lived with us for quite a
while, and saw him three times a
day at least-at meal times. But Of
course was always busy in New York
and that's why, / suppose.
After good dinner at our friendly
little restaurant, we went to see 'The
Shop Girl" which is playing at The
Gaiety theater. We enjoyed every
minute of that, too. The music was
delightful and we were happy. SO take
it all in all I'm glad that l ran into
my dark-eyed cousin in London. There
can't be a bit of harm in seeing him,
after all, for he's evidently forgotten
that he ever lost his head about yours
truly!
After the theater, we walked home,
and sat down in one of the parks to
enjoy the moonlight for a few mo-
ments, and again my cousin never by
word, look or deed, behaved in any
other way than as he should. Surely
he has changed nightly. Once, just
once, caught his black eyes contem
plating me, and turned away quickly
lest he think that l was encouraging
him lowell, to remember.
He told me some OF his plans for
the future, and they are really inter
esting. When he leaves Paris he will
con f0y~ ..to 49, fau 1oH
in New York to say hello to my dear
, old dad, and then it's heigho for the
land Of the sunsets for his. Yes, Cecil
has decided to go out to California and
try his luck. Says he wants to see
and maybe settle in the Santa Clara
valley-where all the luscious frui,
comes from. Buy him fruit ranch
and just bask in the sunlight and
raise prunes and things. Back to ma
ture for his. Says it agrees with him
the best, and that human being gets
most out Of such life. The cities
bewilder and bruise one only. Now
hasn't he some bean to think this al
out SO well? And he on the verge Of
ruin and self-destruction only yester
day.
/ squeezed his hand In approval,
did, when he had finished outlining his
future, and he caught mine and raised
1t to his lips. But that was quite al
right, and he told me that my ap
prevail meant lot to HIM
l told him that l quite envied hin
going out to live in California, and hi:
eyes sparkled as I described how /
too, had always longed to go there
and just back in the sunlight, anC
paint wonderful pictures.
He said little, however, just stroket
my left hand, which lay near his, ant
told me that maybe some day m!
dreams would come true
It's now very late, but I am writin,
a long letter to Jack to tell him jus
how unhappy he has made me by hi
silence, and all that. It's quite OF
the cards that the letter will never b.
mailed, for after all it may be foolisl
to leS him think that l care whethe
he writes by every boat or not. Blu
