AR JANE JORDAN—I have known a certain boy for “= ayear. We have had dates but didn’t go steady until

about four months ago.

He is of a very changeable

nature. One night we'll have a date and he acts just swell.

Then the next time he acts terribly.

We never have got

along very well because he is aggressive and I am nervous and high strung. We met at a public gathering the other night and he would hardly speak at me. He just walked away like I was a stranger. The funny part was that we had a date the night before and we went to this same place and he

was awfully sweet then,

The very next night he

acted like he was trying to keep something from.

I became angry and later he came around I wouldn’t pay any attention to him

s0 he kept this up until we had words. He said then we'd split up and I said O. K. and we shook hands on it. It has been a week now and he hasn’t been to see me, so I suppose he really meant it. Do you think it is worth while to win him back if I

can? Or should I leave well enough alone?

PENNY.

! 8 * o zs 8 ANSWER~—No, I do not think it worth your while to pursue a friendship with a boy who goes out of his way to make you unhappy. He hasn't sufficient consideration and courtesy to make him a pleasant companion. My guess is that he is still a spoiled infant and it doesn’t occur to him that he has no right to inflict his moods upon others.

He acts like a boy who has had .a very poor training in cooperating with others. He has learned to take but not to give, and the result is a self-centered person who acts as he feels at all times regardless of the way it affects others. From his

viewpoint he is the only person in the This is what a baby thinks but he ge growing up when he learns, or shoul

: If you are nervous and high strung you have a bad equipment for meeting the problems of reality. You can’t deal with a spoiled boy by getting angry. A casual, undisturbed attitude toward his little devices to upset you would have been far more disturbing to him

expected. It is flattering to him to know he can hurt you. The feeling of power can be expressed in much better and less destructive ways, An even tempered girl who refused to be impressed by silly little bids for attention might teach the young man a few lessons in conduct which he failed {5 learn in the nursery. Do maintain a placid, pleasant attitude toward his absence and if you see him again, act exactly as if nothing of note had happened and as if you hadn't noticed his absence at all. Don’t be elaborately obvious in this attitude, bul easy and natural. You need plenty

of practice in self-control, too.

Coming toward her was Wick. : Molly raised a rebellious little flag. “Wick,” she said quickly as he came nearer, “this is Sam Smith.” ‘ Wick bowed, without extending his’ hand. “We'd better be starting,” he said. “After the next dance.” Molly spoke impulsively... She saw the blue. eyes of -the stranger light unexpectedly. As the music began, his arms went around her and they danced away. “I've decided to give you a chance to-tell. me why you wanted to meet me,” Molly said. “It’s too long a story to tell now.” His arms tightened a little. “I've been dreaming that some day I'd know you.

Self-Reliance

if Left Alone

Youngsters Should Get Out of Own Jams, . Writer Says.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON It is a good idea sometimes to let a child work out of a tough spot, just to sharpen his wits. When he gets into a jam, as he usually will without help, stand by and let him

extricate himself if possible. This goes for both physical and moral emergencies.

Not so long ago I watched a mother sit quietly by and let her little boy dangle upside down from a stack of garden chairs he had made into a bear cave. This bear, tired of growling from his sanctue ary underneath, tried to scale the peaks. The top alp slipped and Jimmy's foot caught. The pile ° threatened to crumble, then stopped. And there was our bear yelling for help in good English and turning purple with the effort.

Mother Not Disturbed

Instinctively I reached for him, With a motion she stopped me.

“He'll be all right. Jimmy, back up.” “I can’t. Ow.” He could but he wouldn't. If he moved, all. the mountain timber would crash, Then finally he did, without great effort, because he had to. And great were the bumps there of. . Jimmy started to cry, then, nthe ing happening, he started to .ry harder. His mother said brightly, “Youre all right. Now put the chairs where they belong,” and walked away. “Good girl,” I mentioned admire ingly.

Self-Reliance Taught “He has to learn some things™ she half apologized for her heart lessness. “He simply has to ‘stop

shouting to be saved. Yesterday he fell off his wheel half a block away and the children came and said ‘he couldn’t move. I got there in about nothing flat, scared to death.. He was all right, he just wanted to be picked up and me to do the picking. Since shen I'm letting him do most of his own rescuing.” Another mother spoke up and said her older boy had written a pert letter to his uncle and then was in a panic and wanted her to straighten the affair out for him, “I wouldn't,” she said, “because it was his own doing and he either had to stand consequences, or apologize on his own responsibility. He wrote a second letter then, and also set to work to earn a dollar cutting grass, in order to take a bus out to the farm.

Matter Patched Up

“He patched it up with his uncle himself, and I didn’t ask too much about it. Anyway it did him good to worry for a week about being too impetuous. I'm like Sally here. Both Jimmy and Ted will learn that they can’t always expect to be rescued. They learn ways out.” : “Splendid,” I echoed. “But there is one little item you have not mentioned. The honest way out. There are times when circumstances close ‘around a child and prove too much for his strength or his moral fibre. Sometimes he tries bluff, then again he fibs. Or blames somebody else. In short, it is theoretically perfect, but not always practical.” Both agreed. However, the point stands. Let children learn to depend on themselves, both physically and morally, unless real danger threatens. (Copyright. 1936. NEA Service, Ine.)
