Pleasures of Senses End Soon BY MARTHA LEE Borne young pedple make the mistake of thinking that the pleasures of life are limited to the body. With Neitzchie’s “All is permitted,” for their slogan, they proceed to discover how quickly such pleasures can be exhausted, and are ready to commit suicide from ennui. The remedy for the condition lies in prevention rather than cure. Sensual delight is ephemeral, but real joy is inexhaustible. The person who learns where to look for joy in childhood is safeguarded from the boredom of life. Bergson says of joy: "Wherever joy is, creatioif has been, and the richer the creation, the deeper the joy.” Early in life, the child should be made acquainted with his own creative abilities. There is no more intoxicating experience in life than the realization of one’s own powers and no more effective antidote for youthful suicides. , To Prevent Boredom Dear Martha Lei: I am very much wor* ried about my nephew who has lived with me since his mother died five years ago. He is a spoiled boy, 22 years old. who thinks that he has experienced everything that life has to offer. He takes a strange pleasure In reading all the accounts of youthful suicides, and I live in constant terror for fear he will follow suit. He has some money of his own from his mother, and his father gives him an allowance, and he goes to college. He is a bright boy. but seems so old for his age and so jaded, i have a little boy of my own 8 yearsi old and oh. Miss Lee, L£°,. not want hlm to f>row up like that] What can I do to prevent him from know, ing so much that he is bored with lifel I do not want him to spend his life going from one thrill to another. ANXIOUS MOTHER AND AUNT. Dear Anxious Mother and Aunt: Interest your little boy in some form of creative handwork. Let him work with clay, with lumber, or with any other material which he fancies, but teach him early to originate something. There is absolutely no end to creation, and therefore no chance „to become bored. form of creative activity will safeguard your child and bring a satisfaction into his life that a ceaseless round of material pleasures is powerless to produce. If your nephew I.? bright, it Is entirely possible to direct his energies into channels that stimulate and interest him. Appeal to his mental energies, if you can, and help him to find new satisfaction in place of physical ones. An*older Man Likes Her Dear Miss Lee: X am a'young woman m my teens. There is a man six vears my senior who wants a date with me. I have not told him “yes.” and when he sees me he will say, ‘ when are you going to give me that date?” In my company he, has always been a perfect gentleman. 1 think there Is a nicer fellow living. Although I am a high school student, do von think It would be all right to go with him? Please give me your opinion. E C. Dear E. C.: If you could avoid dates with older men for a few more years, E. C., I think it would be a lot better for you. An older man would have more mature interests. You can only be a young girl with a young girl’s interests just once in your life, and I hate to have you miss this period. However, it may be that you are mentally developed far beyond boys of your age and that it takes an older man to interest you. Therefore, I will not be too dogmatic in my answer. Suppose you think this matter out for yourself. Decide where you are mentally, and if you find a satisfactory and clean companionship with this young man, go ahead. From the tone o fyour letter I think he is just "kidding” you because you are young and no doubt attractive. If thi#is the case, then take my advice and wait a while longer.
