Manners and Morals
Jane Jordan will help you' work out your problems by her answers to your letters In this column. If you need advice. write today! Dear Jane Jordan—l have gone with a young man for over a year. During that time he hasn't worked, even for a day. At first I was encouraging and sympathetic and didn't mind sitting home with him several nights a week and missing affairs that most of my girl friends attended with boys who are working. I still wouldn't mind this so much if I wasn't afraid that my helpful attitude is not ivorking as it should. Instead of being aggressive, masculine, and searching relentlessly for something to do, he is taking a too philosophical attitude In waiting for better times. Suppose we were married? I’m afraid he would have the same attitude when times got hard. I’ve told my friend all this and he thinks I am too impatient. ‘ Times are worse than you realize.” he says. Is it that I am losing my love for him and finding fault unnecessarily, or is there really fault to find? SARAH. Answer—You're one of the few young ladies I know' who employs foresight Instead of hindsight. Your fears about the young man’s ability
to function under difficult circumstances are well - founded. The fearful and the timid have found the depression an excellent excuse to retire from the fray. The courageous have found it a challenge which spurred them on to greater effort. This boy’s tendency to retreat into phil-
HBr. a l&j

csophy instead of advancing to battle suggests that he is a fair weather worker without the stamina to buck an economic emergency. Sooner or later every marriage is subjected to stress and strain. You are right to guess that he would prove to be a weak ally. Some women have the knack of driving men to success by the demands they make upon them. They're somewhat exhausting to live

with and are the direct antithesis of the women who are such comfortable companions that their men are content to drift w T ith the tide. A balance between the two extremes is difficult to achieve. Evidently your young man is not a self-starter. He might w'ork well under benevolent direction, but he lacks the initiative to direct himself. A tactful explanation might help to get him going, but I imagine he would wilt under very harsh criticism. a a a Dear Jane Jordan —I am 22 and going w’ith a fellow 26. I mean I go with him whenever he feels like coming around. Sometimes that is once a month. He is the type that hangs around a poolroom. I don’t admire that type, but I fell for him. One time he was engaged to be married but he did the girl just about like he is doing me and she walked off and married another fellow. His mother babies him a lot. His boy friends say that he is queer and that he has fewer dates than any fellow in the crowd. Sometimes I think he isn't capable of caring for any one except himself. When we go on a date we always have to go uuth his boy friend. What is your opinion of a fellow who goes home and reads a book or goes to the show by himself?
MONTE. Answer—Any boy whose mother babies him is a bad matrimonial bet. His struggles to tear loose from the apron strings are entirely too feeble to recommend him. I think you are right in suspecting that he lives more within himself than in others. His lack of consideration for the way others feel shows that he will not be apt to put himself out much for their pleasure. A socially minded girl is foolish to tie up with an unsocial boy. The conflicts which would be generated by this combination would interfere with the happiness of both. I see no reason why the young man is not entitled to some time alone. There is nothing queer about the desire to go home and read a book, or even to go to a show alone occasionally. It is only when you remember his languid loafing around a poolroom and his general tendency to keep aloof from others that you suspect him of not being worth your while. 800 Dear Jane Jordan Several mohths ago I met a girl whom I admire very much. We have been going together since. But recently the girl's younger sister arrived home from the east, and I soon realized that I enjoyed the younger girl's company more than the sister’s. My interest in the older girl has gone and I am falling fast for the younger sister. Os course, neither of them suspects, but I can't bring myself to voice my feelings, and I can’t go on as at present. Will you please advise me? THANK YOU. Answer—lt is not unusual for sisters to fall in love with the same man. Sometimes they are so closely allied subconsciously that a man makes an identical appeal to them both. Although yoti do not know it, the same thing that attracted you to the first girl drew you to the second also. It's like meeting two phases of the same personality. If you want to be very Michiavellian indeed, you might bring- some other men around to see the girls in the hopes that the older sister might be attracted to one of them. Then you would be free to make love to the younger sister without embarrassment. a b a Dear Jane Jordan—l am going with a boy who is very nice, but my stepfather says he doesn’t treat me as a boy should treat a girl. Why should he worry if I am satisfied? My father had trouble with our car and asked the boy to pull him. He refused because he didn’t want to ruin his car. but offered to do anything else to help dad. Dad got angry and told him never to see me again. We love each other dearly and can hardly stand it to be apart. We were planning to be married. Please tell me what to do. LONELY. Answer Almost any decision which you would make about the young man would be better than your stepfather's opinion just now. Perhaps when he cools off from his 'hildish fit of rage you can persuade him to be more reasonable. Miss Pave\j to Wed Mrs. Opal Daulton. 943 Udell street, announces the engagement of her daughter.

Block Store Offers New Washable Wall Paper in Favored Modern Colors Decoration Declared Greatest Advance in Recent Years Is Available in Designs Suitable for Every Room. BY HELEN LINDSAY WALL PAPER is now washable. The new paper, hailed as the greatest improvement in the manufacture of wall paper in recent years, is on display at the Wm. H. Block Company store. Through its use the light and delicate toned colors suggested sin modern interior decorating can be used freely. Fingermarks, stains and any soiled marks which can be removed from clothing with soap and water or cleaning fluids can be removed from the new paper. It is manufactured by the Imperial Wall Paper Company and comes in all of the newest designs. Included in these are papers which
have the appearance of woven fabrics, suitable for living rooms; plaids with sprigs of flowers for bedrooms, and a hunting design, which was originated more than a hundred years ago. Many of the leading magazines are carrying coupons, which are to be filled and sent to Jean McClain, interior decorating expert for the Imperial company. Miss McClain then gives suggestions the proper paper to be used in the rooms described. The Wm. H. Block Company is one of the stores suggested for the purchase of papers listed in the answers by Miss McClain. The new papers are printed with oil colors, which are not softened or dissolved by water. As the colors become older, they become more resistant to water. An additional advantage of the new papers is that excess paste can be wiped off the surface, when the papers are being applied, without marring the design or the color.
The paper has the same appearance as ordinary wall paper. It is not coated like old-fashioned washable papers. Like cloth, it becomes darkened when washed, but when dry retains its original coloring. Early American and Colonial designs are shown in the new paper. a u a a a a Linen Plays Important Style Role FROM the cabled reports from Paris comes fabric new's, which names linen in dark color or fabric combinations as an important trend. The combinations are achieved by mixing metallic threads with the linen. Rustic linens are reported to have a hand-loomed look. They are used in suits and jackets with taffeta and satin, revealing another phase of the trend to “dress up” or formalize linens. Chanel is given credit for starting the fad for metallic linens. They are reported as creating great interest at the Paris openings, especially since they have been heard of much in this country for resort fashions. These metallic linens appear in evening groups, along with embroidered linens. Lyolene has shown an embroidered linen serge evening ensemble, woven with a silver thread. a a a a a a Colored Embroideries Favored EMBROIDERIES also are shown in colors. Black coin dots are embroidered on a natural linen coat of two-thirds length in the Paris opening showing. Natural colored linen is embroidered in black for an evening gown.' Blouses of sheer embroidered linen are shown to be worn with worsted suits. Little jackets posed over heavy white sports silk tailored dresses are made of embroidered linen. With them are accompanying bags of linen. Printed linens also are shown, as well as plaids of the material in the collection presented by Maggy Rouff. For town, sportswear and the beach, rustic and woolly linens are advocated. Black or navy rustic linens are seen in suits with two-thirds length jackets finished with sailor collars. One tw'eed-like linen in red, white and blue check is worn over bright navy trousers, and blue taffeta suit.
