On the Eve of Sailing.
Dear Diary, my newest friend
l think you're going to mean
lot to me, for, with dear old Bill on
one side Of the pond and me on the
other-or crossing i'll shall be
bursting with thoughts. l mean
the kind that even he might laugh
at; sort of evolutionary. Now that
we've almost parted I'm torn with
one great dread. I wish Nell Stu
art were going to Alaska-or on
one Of that DR.. Traprock's expedi-
tions-though, as Bill broke their
engagement. Of course he can't care
where she is. I'm actually sizzling
with excitement, and no wonder,
Monday, graduated from college,
Tuesday, announced my engage
ment, and tomorrow sail for Eu-
rope. l don't expect to sleep a
wink.
First day out.
Dear, D.: wonder II, I'm cut
out for adventure? We had the
most wonderful send-off. l was
just about smothered with flowers,
candy. magazines, etc-and kisses.
And 1 cried like poor boob. Then
l went fioundering around hunting
for my stateroom and l burst into
the wrong one-and--my dear!
There was the handsomest man
ever saw-of course, excepting Bill

engagement ring is so large.

Rock Islands progress has been retarded 20
years by the same Shiny influence responsible
for four murders in the city In the past few
penditures Of money. for the wreckins Of polit-
ical fortunes, for the humiliation Of the COM
munity before the outside world. for the de-
preston Of the, community spirit and the dis
couragement Of legitimate enterprises.

has tried to get her claw on Bill.
I don't trust her-and men are flick

foot on water and one on land. To
one girl constant never,"-or some
thing like that, and I guess he
knew.
Fourth day out
Well. what do you know! Paul
says I'm the best travelling COM
panion he ever met and the most
wonderful sailor. It's quite rough,
too, but l certainly feel better to
keep on deck. And he is the one
whose mother Aunt EN- knows. 1
haven't said anything about his
changing his chair. 1t doesn't
seem necessary. He read aloud SO
long today / couldn't get in my
daily letter to Bill-Oh! what is
there about light hair and dark
eyes that is so thrilling.
I dreampti the most marvellous
dram last night. l shan't tell even
you. He asked why l blushed SO
when he Joined me this morning
and l Just thought I should pass
, away. He has stacks Of what they
call personality and he thinks
am positively magnetic. We sort
of draw each other. I haven't said
| anything about Bill yet, and of

don't think 30. He has the most
wonderful way Of looking at you
in through your eyes, sort of.
5th day out.
We're doing some of what Paul
calls intensive reading" Today II
was Locksley Hall. I never went
in much for poetry, and Bill does

which is fine, of course. Paul's a

you have to have all kinds. Aunt

Good will come from the crisis through
which Rock Island has been passing. In future

The Argus has kept faith with the law
