Manners and Morals by JANE JORDAN

If you arc worried about yourself, write to Jane Jordan, who will help vou to acquire a better understanding. Wirte your letter now! Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young man of 20 and my friends make fun of my disposition. They say I am too serious for my age, and I am disgusted with myself, too. I enjoy

doing nothing. If I have a date I am not contented. When I go to a dance everybody enjoys himself and has fun, but I seem to be lost. I have plenty of friends and take in many social events, but I always wish I was home. Yet when I am at home, I want to go some place. I have a car, a good

sf

Jane Jordan

job, and I am considered good looking. The only time I feel at home is when I am playing some kind of game with boys. Yet I can’t leave the girls alone. lam always in love with some girl who seems to like me at first, then they get tired of me or my serious disposition, and we split up. I wish you could help me understand myself and explain why I am so old-fashioned and don’t care for young entertainment.

WORRIED. Answer—l do not know why you are unable to enjoy yourself in the normal pursuits of your contemporaries. The fault, of course, lies somewhere in your upbringing, to which I have no access. If I tell you where to look and what questions to alk yourself, perhaps you can figure it out alone. Were you an only child who spent so much time alone that you never learned to enter into the activities of others your own age? Or were you discouraged by older brothers and sisters who easily walked off with all the most desirable friends, leaving you the rakings and scrapings of the neighborhood to play with?

Were your parents strict with you, constantly forbidding you to do this and that? Did they cause you to feel inferior and guilty, making much of your youthful misdemeanors? Many victims of too-strict upbringing have secret and unfounded convictions of personal guilt which make them feel that they do not deserve pleasure. Such an attitude usually is pushed so far below the level of consciousness that the individual hardly recognizes its presence. Perhaps you feel uncomfortable with your fellows because you can not or do not outshine them. Undoubtedly you believe yourself to be inadequate in adjusting to a group of pleasure-loving young, and defend yourself by assuming a more serious attitude toward life which you hope will convince people that play is a waste of time and entirely beneath you. There is hope for you because you are disgusted and w r ant to change. If your discontent stimulates you to inquiry into the factors w-hich shaped your character, your increased understanding will aid you immeasurably in making the social adjustments which you regard with both dread and longing. Dear Jane Jordan—l go with a

boy who is very charming and certainly sought after by the opposite sex. *1 like him very much, in fact much better than any one else I know. He thinks my intentions are to capture him for my husband merely because I do have a serious side to my moods. It is impossible to convince him that I just like to go with him for a good time. He explains to me that he doesn’t have many dates, but that he would rather stay home and read. What to do? I give up. Heaven knows I don’t intend to inveigle any poor fellow into matrimony against his will. If you are too indifferent, you are a flat tire, and if you try to be nice and sociable, they think you're on the verge of proposing, and that they must gallantly step out of the picture to keep from breaking your heart too cruelly. 'What brave creatures! REGUSTED. Answer—A man who is afraid of matrimony is very apt to project this fears on the girl and read meanings into her conduct which are non existent. A man who has a responsibible attitude toward his sex life does not have to do a voluminous amount of explaining to his women friends. It is the emotionally evasive male who wishes biological relief without assuming the slightest responsibility for his behavior in or out of matrimony, who is such an enigma to the women who know him.

Women are not aitogther blameless for the timidity of bachelors, however. In some instances their material demands and emotional grabbiness are enough to throw a scare into the most hardy-hearted male. BRIDAL SHOWERS TO FETE MISS THOMAS Miss Nellie Thomas, whose marriage to Thomas Vollmer will take place Nov. 29, will attend a miscellaneous show-er tomorrow night at the home of Mrs. John Crawford, Bosart avenue.

W'hose marriage will take place Thanksgiving day. Mr. Schwitzer will be an usher at the ceremony.

mints ... so for “goodness” sakephone MARTHA WASHINGTON, TA-1827. They deliver.

If you direct the family ironing ... or simply press your own dress . . . I’m going

to give you a tip. Go to VONNEGUT'S and buy an American Beauty electric iron with the wonderful adjustable. automatic heat control—the iron with a heat for every fabric. Don't guess how hot or how cool your iron should be—VONNEGUT’S will answer all such pressing questions with two words— American Beauty. The popular synthetic materials of the rayon family remain lovely when pressed with a mild gentle heat, yet Bemberg. the aristocrat of rayons, can stand more heat than Viscose, Acetate or Celanese. And likewise, your general ironing and bedding need a medium temperature and your fine linens require a very hot iron. So-o-o. just set the control—and you and the iron will never get hottempered over the scorch of a favorite frock. 'On this iron, VONNEGUT'S allow $1 on your old one.)
