The Diary of an Engaged Girl

Had a long letter from Jack today.
He is having wonderful times out
there and tells me in glowing terms
OF the life that is so ideal. Western
ers, he says, are far more broad and
breezy than fasteners, and are so
generous in every way. Barbara he
says Is q perfect peach, and is seeing
to 1t that he meets everyone worth
meeting in Los Angeles. According
to him. she has developed lot, is
quite a seasoned young woman now,
and full of ambition Her home is
extremely simple, but she always has
it filled with interesting people. He
Is doing all in his power to give the
little girl a good time, he adds, and
she does enjoy things so. is so totally
unspoiled and natural! Wonder II
that was a dig for yours truly? l
known that Jack considers me blase
and all that.
Derry writes that she was married
the other day, and is now up in Mas
sachusetts on her honeymoon. In
fact, I find on looking over the list
that most Of my friends will be mar
ried by the time that I get back to
my own again. 1t makes it rather
nice for me.
Jean will be quite an old matron
by the time that Jack and l are mar
ried. 1 know we'll have lots of fun
running over to see each other and
swapping condolences.
Mother has decided that I am to
have several travelling costumes made
right here in London, SO in a few
days from now there will be more Of
those eternal and abominable fittings
to be lived through. l ordered some

Robert u. Johnson Tells
Of Italian BATHING Dress

NEW YORK. Aug. 19.-Letters re-
ceived here from Robert Underwood
Johnson, United States ambassador to
Italy, tell in an entertaining way of
summer life at his new post of duty
The ambassador has been spending
the summer at the Lido, a bathing
peach near Venice, and it seems that
the bathing costumes astonished him,
not for the reason one might suspect
first off, but because of the quantity
of clothing and its gay presentation.
The costumes are worn down to the
waters edge, where an obsequious at
tendent relieves the bather of his or
her membranes, and in so far as
the male bather is concerned, he
stands revealed in all his glory.
The bather solemnly removes his
slippers, according to Mr. Johnson, and
puts on others to match the rest of
his bathing suit. Moreover, he has a
cap and tie to match the ensemble A
handsome monogram invariably adorns
the tie.

girls some perfumes when l return,
for we all love them more than any
thing else. Even "Cecile" has de-
scended to them at last! It's a good
sign, for before she always sort OF
sneered at my barbaric love of scents.
l explained to her that nearly every
man likes them, and that even her
Jeffry has exclaimed over the deli
cious sweetness of one of my pet
brands one day when l was painting
him in my studio. That turned the
trick, of course, and the very next
day she blossomed out redolent of a
delicate arbutus toilet water. There's
no telling just how far Love will
drive woman, after all.
Down on Duke street, right near
Selfridge's shop (Which is owned by
an American, by the way) there is
the dearest little Russian shop
where you find the most exquisite
Russian embroideries. and rings and
things still. Here I spent a whole
morning trying on bracelets and gee
gaws. and 1 finally bought real Rus
sian pipe for Jack, all hand-worked
round the bowl, and so distinguished
looking. Haven't the faintest idea
whether it will draw or not (and
know that is rather important in
pipes), but l do know that he will be
tickled to death at my thinking OF
him. Besides no one else that we
know has the genuine article!
I feel sort Of jealous in a way
about Barbara sharing all his happy
hours instead Of myself. Doesn't
seem right, somehow or other. I'm
sure that\ she more than likes Jack
and / also feel sure that she at one
time entertained hopes in his direc
ton. / most sincerely hope that she
finds beau for herself soon, for
shall feel more at ease then. Not that
l don't trust my Jack, not at all; but
lonely and helpless girls are always
dangerous. The very fact that they
are alone and unprotected usually
makes a deep impression on the aver
age male!
l shall write to her this evening
and say how glad I am that she and
Jack are SO congenial, ETC.; also ask
her not to forget that she is expected
at my wedding later on! That will
help to remind her!

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a mar
ried lady 25 years Of age and have
been married two years. We have one
sweet baby. Before baby came my
husband was kind to me, but since he
has given me but very few kind words.
He seems to love baby. but cares moth
ing for me, which nearly breaks my
heart.
find that do not care for him as
7 did one day. Az soon as he comes
home he begins to scold and curse and
uses so much profanity that I am hap
pier when he is away.
Should l live with him and bring
baby up in such home? Or what can
I do to break him of cursing? Why are
men so much like brutes, and do the
majority of them treat their wives with
no respect whatever? I was brought
up in a good and refined home and to
live with man like my husband is
almost unbearable. He has fits of
temper and throws things across the
house and curses until I wonder how
the Merciful God can give a person
breath to use such language.
Young girls who read this, take ad-
vice from one who has had experience.

you have trouble while single, but
that is nothing compared to married
trouble.
try to be agreeable and make
home life pleasant, but get so discour-
aged. My husband is kind to neigh
bors and has lot of friends. He has
an entirely different disposition outside
Of home. I am disguised with such a
life. What can l do? 1t is degrading
to live with such a person.
TROUBLED WIFE.
No, you should not bring your baby
up in such a home if you can help 1t.
You are too young to sacrifice yourself
to a home where you are not honored.
l firmly believe that your husband will
value you If he loses you. If you have
parents to go to, make them a visit
and tell your husband that when he
is ready to treat you with respect, and
kindness he can come for you Say
that you have had enough of his
swearing and abuse.
You ask if the majority of men are
brutes. That would be a pretty harsh
verdict to mankind Try to keep faith
in the goodness Of man. Trust that
the brute you now see is only demon
who has entered a good man for the
time being and will disappear Of
course you will have to insist upon
decency or the demon will grow larger
and more and more unbearable.
l believe that your husband will want
you and the baby 100 much to continue

What's in a Name
HULDAH
(Copyright)


Though some etymologists claim
that Huldah, the prophecies of the Old
Testament, should not be identified
with the Swedish Huldr. the evidence
rseems almost conclusive in favor of
the assertion that they are one and
the same name in different forms.
The old mythical Holda, or Huldr
(the faithful or the muffled) was a
white spinning lady, who makes her
feather-bed when it SHOWS. According
to the legend, she brings presents at
the years end; rewards good spinners,
and Furnishes idle ones. She is sup
posed to have a long nose, wear blue
gown and white veil and drive through
the fields in car with golden wheels.
In the Scandinavian countries,
where she is very popular. the call her
Huldr, the propitious. Germany pre-
fers Holda. Often she is confused
with Hilda. Though the latter name
has great vogue in England and also
in this country, Huldah is equally pre-
valent. It's Scandinavian ancestry is
almost lost sight of here, though it
is noticeably more prevalent in Swed-
ish communities, and for some reason
has quite a bit of popularity in the
South.
Amber is Huldah's talismanic gem.
1t will protect her from disease and
give her great physical strength. Fri
day is her lucky day and her lucky
number.
