Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

If you are in an irksome situation, write to lane Jordan for encouragement! Your letters will be answered in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—Will you please tell me how I should handle a problem like this? The man I love is all the time making remarks about how pretty my sister is. He has invariably told me about how pretty this sister is and if I were as pretty as she it would be too bad. She is a few years

younger than I am. He has made the remark once too often as I am very much disgusted with him. I have had a few girl friends to tell me the same thing and I can’t quite make out their motives. I can’t say that I give people the impression that I am good-looking.

Jane Jordan

I have had a fey people tell me I was attractive, but I'm too broadminded to get the idea that there is no one in the world who could surpass me. lam just tired of hearing such remarks and wondered if you could give me a clew to their motives, and also what kind of an answer I could give to keep them from telling me about it all the time. LILLIAN Answer —lt is hard on any girl to have a sister who is prettier than she is. She can respond to it in one of two ways. She can become discouraged and retreat from her problem. By that I mean that she goes over to the useless side of life and is merely embittered and envious. Or she can develop marvelous compensations for her lack of beauty and outdistance her sister in charm, in sympathetic understanding, or in some line of endeavor. Such reaction puts her on the useful side of life and insures her success. Alfred Adler has found that many an outstanding success has been made by a person who was spurred onward by some physical handicap. People with poor eyesight often make good artists : simply because their difficulty has | caused them to become acutely 1 conscious of what they can see. The left-handed sometimes develop surprising grace to compensate for what seemed like awkwardness to them in the beginning. Possibly the same motive makes good dancers out of fat people, and so on. The thing for you to do is to accept the fact of your sister's superior beauty and agree with your friends, even your lover, when she is praised. They do not consciously mean to hurt you though they may be directed by some infantile cruelties of which they are sublimely unaware. Let their motives alone and beat them to it by praising your sister first. There can be no doubt that beauty is a great asset for a woman, but after all your sister de- ; serves no credit for it. since she she was endowed through no effort of her own. You'll find that such assets as character and personal achievement are much more profoundly valued by intelligent individuals. If you let the situation act as a spur instead of a deterrent you’ll go far. Dear Jane Jordan—l am an educated young woman of 20 and for 6 months I have been going steadily with a man 25 years older then myself. I see him every evening in the week and have a good time every time we go anywhere. I am very fond of his sisters, although all of them are much older than I, and he fits in with my crowd. Is there any way I could be sure of this feeling I have for him? He has asked me to marry him, but I have heard so much against people of different generations marrying that I am in a quandary. While this man has known women, some of them intimately, he has told me repeatedly that I am the

first on he would be proud to have as a wife. I am sure that he loves me and I feel that I am really in love with him, but will it last? Answer—l do no know and neither do you. There are no certainties in love even between people of the same ages. Twentyfive years is a pretty big difference in age and usually mean that the partners have different tastes which do not make for harmony in living. However, this is not invariably the case. Everybody knows of instances where such marriages have suceeded, particularly in the beginning. It is the later years when discontent is most likely to arise when the husband is definitely an old man, while the wife is just in her prime. I like your searching attitude toward your situation for it shows that you wish to marry on an intelligent and not a neurotic basis. The thing for you to look out for in yourself is the desire to jllay little girl to a father substitute. If you marry the man be sure you are prepared to be a responsible, adult partner, not a daughter. Club Luncheon Set Mrs. Russell Ritchie will be hostess Thursday for a luncheon of the Veronica Club.

Artificial Flowers Will Provide Brightness for Spring Suits and Coats Block’s Displays Wide Variety Including Carnations, Daisies and Violets; Some Made of Patent Leather. BY HELEN LINDSAY '■pHE suits and top coats which are being shown this spring will be A brightened with the gayest artificial flowers worn for several seasons. Every lapel will be adorned with some bright nosegay, and the Wm. H. Block Cos. store has arranged an attractive display, in tiered circular cases, from which they can be selected with ease. Os particular interest in the display are the carnations, made important by the cover design of the first February issue of Vogue, which will be worn in the Noel Coward fashion in the lapels of the tailored, mannish jacket suits. These are shown in shaggy, realistic designs, in

small and large sizes, in red, with dark centers, and also in white and pink, the latter colors suggested particularly for effective wear on navy suits. Large clusters of daisies, either all yellow with dark centers, or in a variety of colors, will be worn on the lapels of spring coats, particularly those with fur collars. ' / Nosegays of tiny field flowers are shown also, some of them imported from Czechoslovakia, and made of straw. The popularity of gardenias continues, pink ones this year possibly being selected oftener than the white ones. As usual, clusters of violets, botn in light and dark shades, will sound the note of spring as they are worn on many of the coat lapels. Os particular interest is

one cluster of these shown at Block's, made of two shades of purple, light and dark, with two tiny realistic pink rosebuds in the center. Patent leather flowers will be worn on many of the suits, and patent leather even has been used for artificial violets this year. Pique flowers, in white and white and navy blue, are being shwn, to wear on the shoulder of the navy dresses for early spring. a a a tt it tt King Declared Originator of Crepes Suzette ANTONIO BOCCO, internationally famous chef to European royalty, now in the United States lecturing to women's clubs under the sponsorship of the National Hotel Management, Inc., has attacked the claim of two American chefs that they were the originators of crepos Suzette. In an address before a group of 30 food editors of metropolitan newspapers, syndicates and women’s magazines at the Hotel New Yorker, Mr. Bocco said the recipe originated in the court of Louis XV of France. According to Mr. Bocco, Louis XV had two favorites vying for kingly favor. One was the famous Madame Suzette Pompadour and the other Madame Gabrielle D'Estrees. When finishing dinner one night, Louis inquired the name of the delicious dessert he had eaten, and was told by his chef that it was crepes, French for pancake. Louis, not being satisfied with this simple name, announced that he would name it for the most delightful woman he knew. When he named it crepes Suzette, the haughty D'Estreetf left the room, leaving Pompadour the reigning favorite. tt tt b it a a Study Reveals Meat Consumption Figures DR. AGNES MORGAN of the University of California has made a study for the Woman's Home Companion on the amount of meat which the family should eat. She has discovered that statistics show the average meat consumption in American families is about 140 pounds a person. This is a little more than two and a half pounds a week for each individual. The advantages of a diet containing meat have been strengthened in recent research, Dr. Morgan finds. Meat contributes about 25 per cent of the total protein, 15 per cent of the energy and 20 per cent of the iron and vitamin of the national food bill. Many well meaning teachers, nurses and doctors, she finds, advise an unnecessarily prolqjiged infancy in the matter of meat eating. The gradual introduction of meat into the child's diet should begin at the end of the first year, for the education of food taste as well as for the marked growth promoting value of meat constituents. Women who shop intelligently for food sometimes are concerned about the nutritive merits of the tender and less tender cuts of meat. Painstaking work at the University of Illinois lecently indicated that connective tissue or gristle is less usable in the l ody than muscle fiber. Since tough meat contains much more connective tissue than tender meat, the latter appears to have the greater nutritional value, though the difference is not great.
