Manners and Morals

Jane Jordan will consider your problems carefully and reply to your letters in this column. Would you like to put your case before her? Dear Jane Jordan—l am 17 years old. I began going places just about a year ago. The first fellow I went with was a redheaded. rather moody boy. After we had been dating for about eight months I had my first taste of petting. Igo a big kick out of it. Then I started dating another rather "fast'’ fellow and found myself letting him pet me, too. It was great at the time, but made me disgusted with myself afterward. Everytime I would have a date I would sooner or later let the fellow get to the petting point, and each time it got to be sooner. Now I’m not a dumb bunny. I have an "A" average in high school. Then I sarted in drinking. I have smoked for several years. We got so we couldn't have a good time unless there were drinks. My last real drinking bout was New Year's eve. Since then I have slowed down considerably. About three weeks ago my dates began falling off, all at once. 1 have become more and more disgusted with life and people every day. I used to gej such a big bang out of everything" But no more. Besides that. I'm an only daughter* I have two brothers and my father is dead. They try to run me. They bang me around and mother sits by and lets them do it. When someone calls me up they will turn up the radio and make it next to impossible for me to hear. Home life is just plain hell. I don't contemplate suicide, for that is cowardly, and besides I don’t want to die. I feel like I want a fellow who is high class, who is well educated, and who can discuss literature, science, etc. Is this a wrong view to take? They are scarce, you know. If you can help m learn to love life again I shall never forget it. DISGUSTED SEVENTEEN. Answer—At your age a girl is apt to be pretty much up and down in her moods. One moment she touches the heights, and the next she drags the bottom. Just because ycu're dragging bottorp for a time.

don't let it worry you! Life is full of changes, and any moment you might turn a more exciting corner. Your family is very apt to get on your nerves at this period. You're trying so hard to establish your independence that you resent your bossy brothers. Please remember that they're

Jane Jordan

resenting their home ties, too, and that's probably wliat makes them so inconsiderate of your feelings. The more you let them annoy you the more they will enjoy it. You've tried petting and found it wanting. That's no crime, so don’t waste energy in useless regretting. You experimented with drinking and found it no answer to the strange yearning that you scarcely understand. It's to your credit that you are reaching out for more satisfying interests. You'll find ycurself attracting an entirely different type of boy as a result. I do not believe that the boy who places as much value on the psychic tie as he does on the physical is as rare as you think. In support of my statement I should like to hear from young men who are in the same boat as you are. Hew many readers find themselves craving something beyond the physical? Don't take your turbulent moods so seriously. Remember that a 17-year-old is making so many new adjustments and discoveries that it is bound to be upsetting in spots. Keep interested in as many activities outside the home as possible. The more energy you use up, the less that's left to torment you. Ido not think that you need me to restore the joy of living. It will come back by itself at the slightest encouragement, keener than ever because you've been bored. u tr a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 21 and in love with a married man. He has two children. He says he is saving his money to get a divorce. But at night when he gets ready to come to see me, company -comes in and he can't get away.

Mrs. Paul T. Rochford, 5653 Washington boulevard. Mrs. Rudolph F. Grosskopf has wTitten the club history to be displayed at the meeting. Mrs. Othniel Hitch and Mrs. A. Edgar Shirley will be in the receiving line.

BY JANE JORDAN

I know a single boy who is crazy about me at the same time. He takes me to dances and when we are ready to come home he takes me to a beer joint and tries to get me drunk. But I fool him and don’t drink much beer. This married man said if he ever caught anybody with me he would kill us both. I don’t like the single fellow at all, but I do love the married man. He is different. Please tell me what to do. LONELY AND BLUE. Answer—You speak as if these ttwo men were the only ones on earth, and if they were gone there would be no one else to choose from. This is not true, and if you have the courage to wipe the slate clean and start all over again, you will have a better chance to find happiness than with either of these two. The married man has certain responsibilities which you evidently do not comprehend. You’re too busy thinking about yourself and your own desires. The fact is that he is giving you only half a loaf at present, and naturally you do not find it very satisfactory. Even if he succeeded in getting his divorce, which I doubt, you'd find that the responsibilities of the past would irk you considerably as his wife. It is my belief that you are simply wasting your time on either of these men. But I don’t think you will accept any opinion from me at this time unless it concurs with your own. a o u Dear Jane Jordan—l am a woman of 46. I have been married and have five children. lam going with a man 48 who has been rooming with me for the last year. He also has been married and has four children. He quarrels with my oldest boy who is 14. He drinks a great deal and I try to reform him. please advise me if he cares for me, or had I better get rid of him. LONESOME AND BLUE. Answer—l can see no advantage whatsoever in mating with a man who seeks an alcoholic answer to his troubles.

SKell Rim Eye Glasses Presented in Colors to Harmonize With Attire Robinson Optical Company Shows Latest Development in Aid to Vision; Conforms to New Coiffures. BY HELEN LINDSAY SIX hundred and fifty years ago. eye glasses were used for the first time in Europe. The newest step in their development was seen this week, in an interesting display of new “bridge glasses” for women, in the window of the Robinson Optical Company. Shown with pictures of colorful afternoon and sports dresses were spectacles made with harmonizing shell rims, and straight short temples, which can be worn comfortably with the newest hats and coiffures. The new glasses are the solution of the American Optical Company. Southbridge. Mass., for the problem

of harmonizing every detail of the modern woman’s afternoon dress. Five new shades appear in the display of the new glasses, which are seen by some authorities as the forerunner of a return of shell-framed spectacles. Included in the display were glasses with rims tinted salmon, orchid, lemon, blue and green. Each pair of glasses was shown with a matching costume. The showing was appropriate, since this was designated as “Save Your Vision Week.” Though many women have accepted the necessity of wearing glasses at afternoon bridge parties, they still are striving for glasses which will not detract from carefully .planned costumes. The celebration of the 650th anniversary of the invention of eye glasses has brought to light interesting historical facts, prepared by the editorial stuff of the New National Encyclopedia. The first reccrded suggestion of the use of convex lenses for the benefit

of sight occurs in the writings of Friar Roger Bacon. The possibility is expressed that a member of his Franciscan order brought the idea into Italy. nan ana Spectacles Appear in 1352 Painting IN a church in Treviso, Italy, is the oldest extant portrait in which spectacles appear. The portrait was painted in 1352. The first lenses were convex, and were made in the glass-blowing establishments of Venice and Nurnbery. Their cost kept them from being used except by the very wealthy. They were used almost exclusively by the aged to correct failing vision. Two centuries later concave glasses appeared. The earliest record of them is a painting by Raphael, done in 1517, in which Leo X is shown holding a concave lens. The summary records that after this period observers noted that many individuals with weak eyes were not benefitted by either convex or concave glasses. In 1801 Thomas Young, English physicist and Egyptologist, supplied the explanation when he recognized astigmatism in his own eyes, in 1827 George Airy demonstrated that the condition could be corrected by a cylindrical lens. nan nan Franklin Credited With Development THE credit for the greatest modern advance in spectacles, however, is given to Benjamin Franklin. In 1784 he invented the first bifocal glasses. They consisted of two divided lenses, held together in a frame, the upper segment serving for distant vision, and the lower for reading. The cemented bifocal did not appear until 1866, and in 1890 was replaced by the “invisible” fused bifocal. The earliest printed text on fitting glasses came from Seville in 1628, when the fitting and making of lenses had come under the control of spectacle-makers guilds, which took as their patron St. Jerome. Only in the past few decades have physicians been concerned with glasses. They are indebted to Donders, a Dutch scientist, for their views on the subject.

JORDAN STUDENTS TO ATTEND DANCE Valentine dance will be sponsored tonight by students of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, at the Odeon, 106 East North street. Miss Catherine Sommers is chairman of the party, the first all-school dance of the new semester.
