MMNERS

WHAT'S your particular problem? Write to Jane Jordan, who will help you seek a solution by answering your letters in this column. Dear Jane .Jordan—l am a young girl of 18, but I am not like other girls my own age. I feel old and out of place with young people, and am more at ease with older ones. I like to read good literature and attend good plays and movies. I sing, play the piano, pet to some extent, hut it seems one can not go with << boy any more unless you pet all evening \-;d drink and tell shady stories. * I think I would be happier with some one around 25 or 28. someone who is more settled, but I do not know how to meet any one that age. Could you advise me what to do. I know X have plenty of time to meet someone, but I am lonesome and would like to enjoy myself while I am young. MAJA. BBS DEAR MAJA—If only I could solve the problem of the lonesome women and men who write to me! With the world swarming with people, it does seem as if nobody oughfc to be lonesome. The question should be how to avoid people and not how to meet them. Statistics from city bureaus and employment agencies, census reports and other sources reveal the fact that more than 5,000,000 women between the ages of 24 and 50 live alone. And the lonely men outnumber the women. These statistics take no account of the people who are lonely in the bosoms of their own family; who long for a congenial soul to go along with. The people they know are somehow not satisfying. How are they to meet others? My advice to Maja and all other lonesome people in this world is to make more contacts. Go where men and women gather ... in churches, at concerts, art exhibitions, lectures, libraries, public teas for visiting authors, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Join hiking clubs, nature study Clubs, literary or card clubs; play tennis on public courts, golf on public links; go skating, ride horseback. Join athletic organizations, attend concert or lecture series. Seek work in an organization that employs a large number of people and join the business clubs and organizations. If you have money, take an ocean voyage. The silly rule that forbids our speaking to strangers does not hold under these conditions. A person’s presence in such places is usually sufficient recommendation for his character. One new contact leads to others Until gradually you draw a little group around you with similar tastes and ideas. Os course this play presupposes that you keep yourself attractive and interesting; that you read new books and keep well informed. It is a good idea to ride some hobby that will give you some point of contact with others who have the same hobby. Go, go. Keep on the move. Nobody ever found happy companionship by sticking within four walls. B B tt Dear Jane Jordan—l have been going almost two years with a man who claims he loves me. When we started going together, he did everything he could to make me happy. He took me places, bought me flowers and candy. But from the first of last year we have been to only three shows. And he has omitted the flowers and candy. He never asks me to go any place with him. and if I suggest going he has an excuse to make. Yet he says he loves me and hopes to marry me. I can’t see If he loves me why he treats me so. He makes fairly good wages and can afford to take me out. What Is your opinion o l this? KATE. BUB DEAR KATE—Nothing irritates a man more than to know that a woman expects him to spend money on her. It is a far better plan for you to suggest economies in this day and age than to expect expenditures. The fear generated by the economic situation causes people to hang on to what cash they have like grim death. Show deep appreciation when he spends some of his precious money on you, and protest a little, "Are you sure you can afford it? “Should we spend this much money?” and so on. Perhaps he has had a wage cut that he hesitates to tell you about. Perhaps some of his family are in need and are making extra demands upon him for money. Or perhaps he is showing his love for you by rigid saving to give you the proper sort of home. There may be any number of legitimate reasons for his economy. Os course, if he is spending his money on luxuries for himself and neglecting your entertainment, this puts a different face on the matter. But my feeling is that this is the hey-day of the economical girl. The one who can get along without much money is the one who is going to walk off with the pick of the 1932 crop of husbands. n ,Nc - OT mm Llratu for r counter-imunt"—Musterole wmnna •nd help* draw out congestion.

BY ELSIE JAMS (Coovright. 1932. NBA Service, Inc.) HAVING hac the joy of a mother for more than forty years and only a few weeks of marriage, it is perhaps presumptuous on my part to try to write on the subject. But after all, admitting that there are millions of people who know more about marriage than I do, the fact remains that no one was ever more consistently and successfully mothered than I was, and still am for that matter, because without any suggestion of spiritualism I must say that mother, though officially out of life's great argument, is more with me than ever! There is and will continue to be despite all protests on my part, an erroneous impression that my maternal ancestor spent her time protecting me from the wiles of men! That is (as we say in the classics) the bunk! From the timq I was 22, she began to concentrate on my making what is somewhat humorously termed an advantageous marriage. * I am not saying that our ideas of what would or would not be good for me were always in complete co-ordination, but I will say, and 111 insist, that anything i ever wanted in life I had, due to my mother’s ability to borrow money or sell stocks—tickets for a cruise, a yacht, jewels, and so forth. In fact, she was the genie who produced with miraculous speed everything my heart desired. Os course I worked for the money, but she had complete control of all I made. I never signed a check until she “passed on,” never collected my salary, and never interfered in any way with her manner of handling my affairs! B B B QNE does not question a geni, v-/ and so it never occurred to me to ask where or how she got the s9o,Qpo for a house that I had set my heart on! Shorty after her death (ridiculous word) I made my first appearance at the bank in Beverly Hills, Cal., and met a safety deposit box socially. I never even had seen one and was not interested particularly at the time! I knew I had been making lots of money for many years. I had heard my friends and enemies say how rich I was and I actually believed it. Imagine my surprise to find that I had a delectable garland of mortgages, notes enough for a song, and quite a lot of jewels that I never wear! Well, I laughed loud and long, and in checking pver my “wealth” was able to trace just what extravagant demand of mine had made it necessary for mother to negotiate a loan, or cash in on an endowment policy. She had nothing in her own name, though she adored buying beautiful things, when her own so-called estate was settled, and the government owed me money. B B B NOW I ask you would any mother as devoted as she was refuse me a man that I wanted? She would have secured him for me if she had to resort to chloroform! And yet people ask me if I regret not having married while she was with me. No! and again no! Furthermore, I never would have left her. She knew it and so, bless her heart, she left me while there still was time for me to start anew life! I know mothers who are stopping the marriage of their children, male and female, from a purely ulterior motive, feeling that they will lose in the transaction, and I think it is outrageous! I do not believe that children owe a debt to their parents. If said parents happen to be regular people that the children love just as they might love any one else, o. k! Stay with them, spoil them, and honor them, but just because two people fall in love, marry, have a marvelous experience and in due time bring into this cock-eyed but grand old world a wee squalling and unsuspecting being, I think they owe the child everything they can give it, if not an apology. B B B I SAID apropos of my marriage to a very young man. that I hoped to have a husband and a child in one, and thus cut down on the schedule! Several sentimentalists misquoted me as saying that I hoped to have a child. That is the well known apple sauce. I always have been a pretty good mimic, but I never could hope to be the mother that mother was, and so why risk a flop at this late stage? Incidentally my husband (that looks odd to me) at the time of going to press, is bearing up well and more attractive than he was a month ago before I said, “I do!” If it develops that I can not hold him on account of the difference in our ages, I will take it big and bow out, but I will say to some of the girls of 22 and 23 who are residing in Reno, "What’s your alibi?” Next: Miss Janis will tell exactly what she looks forward to in a matrimonial career which started long after many women feel they are "on the shelf,” Pi Omicron to Meet Alpha chapter, Pi Omicron soror< ity. will meet at the Washington Wednesday night.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—First glance, you’ll think the new spring coat woolens just are like the winter ones. They’re not. True, they look rough, but a fingering will prove they’re pleasantly lightweight, and almost smooth to feel. They have to be soft and fairly smooth, since so many of the new coats have self-collars coming up against the neck. One thing . . . you have to take

Keeps little ailments from growing into BIG ONES!

It may be just a coated tongue tonight... with dull eyes, bad color and breath. But by these symptoms Nature is telling you that you may have a sick child tomorrow". Help tonight is simple. Tomorrow it may be harder. A single simple dose of Castoria is usually all that’s needed to bring relief; it often keeps a serious illness from developing. Castona, you know, is the children’s own remedy—made specially to give the gentle help their delicate organs must have. It is a Eure vegetable preparation; contains no arsh drugs, no narcotics. In any starting illness such as a cold,/a little fever, a food upset, a first-aid dose of Castoria is always a wise precaution. It’s never hard to get children to take Castoria. They love its taste, and are grateful for the relief it always brings to tied-up systems. For babies or for older children, depend on Castoria’s gentle regulation. It has kept many a little ailment from growing into a serious onel Genuine Castoria always has the name Chas. H. Fletcher on the package.

other kinds. Probably because they take the seaming and tucking of the new details so well. Some of the new weaves, especially when they’re beige, make you think of the line about the “ribbed sea sand.” The diagonals almost seem to be pressed into them rather than woven. Corduroy-rib woolens have that look, also, you know. Polo cloth? It’s here for spring sports coats, of course, in defiance of all the patterns and diagonals. But you’re going to see a good many coats in corduroy which would have been in polo cloth last year. Especially when summer rolls around and white coats get into the picture. Tweeds? The mannish Harris type are newest. You know, the very flat ype with faint stripings such as you see in men’s suits. It’s good news about coatings in general that they’re not typed so strictly as to dressy kinds and semisports kinds. Unless it’s a tweed or a polo cloth, you should be able to wear your spring coat to church or for shopping, with equal smartness. B B B P. S.
