Manners and Morals ____ BY JANE JORDAN

A* • rule Jane Jordan avoid* reliciou* topics like the plague. But here ia a letter so pathetic, so wicked In it* u*e- , leva suffering that *he calls for ietter* from religious people for the enlightenment of this tortured child. Dear Jane Jordan—Some years ago I committed a sin. A man whom I know, a relative, who had few pleasures with his wife, received great pleasure in loving me. I ac-

tually enjoyed the new e xpe ri e nee. When I started this sin I was only 13. It con tin u e and for about three years. Then I learned I had committed the unpardonable sin. My people always told friends I was a very righteous child. As the years wore on I realized I was never to see the promised city.

Jane Jordan

Every time I passed a church I trembled with the thought of hell after death and the wrath of God. My face became yellow and sallow and my mother said I was deathly pale. I became lifeless and did not care about living. Now I lay awake and think of the horrible punishment that is to come. When people ask me what I am thinking about I tell them a sin. They laugh and say “What sin could you do?” I have been praying for about tw r o and a half years. I have confessed to God many times but not to man; so I am confessing to you. As I look back I am a bit in doubt if my prayers were exactly in earnest. The devil visits me often and makes me think about seized and kissed by robbers, and he tries to make me enjoy the feeling, but I turn to God for protection. I want the public to read this letter and condemn me for my sin. If you do not print this, you, too, will have committed a great sin, and your cons' v nee will hurt you for not helping a sinner to receive forgiveness. RUTH. My Dear Ruth—l wish you would take my word for it that your fears of punishment will never be realized. You are not slated for hell, fire and damnation. You have atoned in full for your deeds in a private hell more cruel than any fiend could devise. In Heaven’s name why don’t you read your Bible more carefully? You would learn that David, a

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E.

There are fewer than 100 qualified masters in the United States.

She is the highest ranking woman player on the masters’ list and ranks eleventh among the country’s best players. This year she had the distinction of winning the individual masters’ championship. One of Miss Murdoch’s strong points is her defensive play. HERE’S an interesting defensive hand which she played in a recent tournament. Miss Murdoch was sitting in the South position and her partner led a club in response to her club bid. West was allowed to win the trick with the king. He returned the ten of diamonds, taking the finesse, which Miss Murdoch won with the king. She next led the ace of clubs and North echoed out by playing th% three, which would leave West with one more club* As West did not lead a trump, it looked as though he tried to get into dummy to take a finesse, fto Miss Murdoch returned the nine of diamonds. West played low. North low and the trick was won in dummy with the ace. The deuce of spades was played, the queen finessed, anjl North won with the king. Nprth returned a diamond, which Misa Murdoch trumped with the jack and she now led the queen of clubs, which held. Then the ten of clubs was played, j which allowed North to make her trump and, of course, a heart trick was won by Miss Murdoch with the ace, thereby defeating the contract three tricks. .{Copyright. 1934.

mature man, “after God’s own heart,” was forgiven for sending Uriah into battle while he made off with the soldier's wife. Yet you imagine that a 13-year-old girl will be boiled in oil for an older mans aggression against her.

Have you never read the account of the Magdalen's transgression in the New Testament? It was her own fellow human beings who stoned her, not an angry and outraged Deity. Probably they stoned her for doing that which they craved to do themselves. The classic lines of Jesus in rebuking the pain-loving multitude have rung down through the ages. “Woman, hath no man condemned thee? Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more.” Why has this passage made no impression upon you? The answer is clear. It is you yourself who feel this strange need for punishment. It has not been imposed upon you by the threats of a celestial torturer. You yourself play the role of both judge and criminal. No one else in the heavens above or the earth below or the waters under the earth could put you in such senseless, futile misery. And for what? Because an ignorant child was overestimated by a man who should have known better. Can't you shift part of the burden of guilt to him? The instincts which he roused in you prematurely w'ere not of your making. Neither are they shameful. It is only that the sexual passions must be held in check until maturity for very good social reasons. When they escape too early, no unpardonable sin has been committed to be avenged by an angry Creator. The individual learns what not to do by trial and error. You have a long and happy life ahead of you if you can persuade yourself to change this morbid mental attitude. But you will not believe me. Your mind is too wrapped in the swaddling clothes of superstition. You will think I am a Godless woman, in the grip of the devil, because I refuse to take your childish experiment with sex seriously. Therefore, I advise you to seek counsel from an enlightened minister of one of our modern churches. If you know none, I will be glad to recommend one of my friends. Moreover, I call for letters from religious people all over the state, setting you right in your attitude toward your problem. These letters I will forward to you upon receipt of your address. Or I will leave them where you can call for them. ' ana To a Desperate Mother: I advise you to see one of the social service agencies in the city who will help you find a way to keep your children with you. Please do not despair. There is a way out of your difficulty if you go to the proper source.

Stores Offer Services of Shopping Guides to Aid Men in Gift Buying

Miss Jane Stewart and Mrs. Olivia Matthews Offer Suggestions on Presents Ranging From Furniture to Jewelry. * BY HELEN LINDSAY TNDIANAPOLIS men may find the article on what to buy for Chrtst- •*- mas gifts in the December Harper's Bazaar amusing, but they won't need its services. In Indianapolis there are two experts available to guide them in their gift selections. One is Miss Jane Stewart, personal shopper at the H. P. Wasson & Cos. store, and the other is Mrs. Olivia Matthews, fashion and gift consultant at the Wm. H. Block Cos. store. According to the editor of Harper's Bazaar, a man may think he knows nis women folk, but when he starts to buy Christmas presents for them, he realizes he doesn't. In such a crisis he needs

guidance, and the editor tells him what he can be trusted to select. But Miss Stewart has found that while men dislike the idea of Christmas shopping, they really enjoy it and are very clever at it, once they get into the store. “They have individual ideas not only about gift selection, but in the wrappings One man bought some lovely costume jewelry the other day, and had me wrap it in dollar bills. On the top we perched a yay bow of yellow and green, and a sprig of mistletoe. “Men are afraid to buy hostess gowns, and I think they are wise in shying from them, for what woman can wear them well if they are a bit too trailing? So when one male customer suggested that he wanted something

in a hostess gown, but didn’t know just what to buy, I advised him to select a gorgeous pair of pajamas, with a butcher boy coat. "Every woman likes the sheerest of hose, particularly if they are gifts and she doesn’t have to pay for them herself, so I usually suggest including several pairs of them. “If a man selects a woolly robe for his wife, I know that she is the housewufe type, and I try to govern other selections by that. If I think, from observing the husband, that he and his wife are the type who like cocktails for two, I show him the new relish plates, w : ith etched glass compartments. “And most all men like maple chairs and tables, for they can visualize them in their homes, and think they will look well there. a a a a t a Suggestions Sought by Women '"IITOMEN appreciate help in their shopping in the way of '.uggestions, Y ▼ though they seldom want you to shop with them. They discuss the advisability of buying material for a dress for this person or that one, and whether they shall buy a lame blouse, or make it themselves. “One thing the women shoppers can do which causese me to envy them. They can select ties without any qualms, and I’ll have to confess that when I try to select a man's tie, I always get the jitters.” Mrs. Olivia Matthews says it is essential to visualize the person for whom the gift is intended. "In order to have the gift suitable, I try to get an accurate description of the person to receive it. This description must include the personal appearance, as well as the type of life the person leads. Gifts, of course, differ for persons in different walks of life, as well as for those of varying personalities.” a a a a a a Toilet Preparations Interest Many H 4fRS. MATTHEWS has gathered in her gift shop on the second floor IVJ. of Block’s articles from every department in the store. From these she makes suggestions of several articles for each person. Men are particularly eager to take advantage of the new service, she finds, and since it eliminates shopping excursions through the crowded store, and allows them easy selections in grouped articles. “Shoppers are particularly interested in the Mary Chess toilet preparations,” Mrs. Matthews says. “They are designed to reproduce as nearly as possible real scents, particularly woodsy ones. The idea for them originated in England, and the Pomander Ball is distinctly from the time of Queen Elizabeth.” Included in these preparations'are jars of rare spices, to be used in cookery. There are also 16 different scents of bath oils, and small cases of bath oils for men, in which are included seven vials of different scents.
