[urn Toward Another Goal, Jane Suggests

Enthusiasm Dies During Long Engagement, Writer Says.

Put your problems hefore Jane Jordan when you need help and read her replies in this column,

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I

~ have been going with a fellow over five years. We are engagéd and intend to be mar-

__rigfl. At first it was financial ubles that kept us from marrying; now that has been well enough overcome, but he always finds an excuse for further delay. I have suggested several dates for the wedding, but he didn’t seem very enthusiastic about them so I said I would not mention again bnt would let him suggesy the next date for the wedding. He seems to think a lot of me and I see him practically every night, but he takes me to much for granted. 1 know I do not thrill him as I used to. There is a girl who works with him who seems to thrill him at present. I do not think he had a date with her, but-he likes to arrange dates for her with a boy friend of ours so all of us can be together. My failing is jealousy and it hurts me very much to hear the way fhey tease each other at work. I try hard not to pay any attention to such things but I can't help showing how I feel. I have offered him my ring back, but he will not take it and says he will do something desperate if I don't keep it. I love him very much except when I am jealous. Then I would rather not see him any more. What should I do? Just keep on waiting until he decides to get married? We are plenty old enough and I think we are making each other miserable by waiting, but if I come right out and ask him I am afraid he will feel obligated to marry because we have gone together so long. I don’t want that: I want him to marry me because he loves me so much. : OLD FASHIONED. ANSWER — There are so many disadvantages to a long engagement, one of which you have described in your letter. After five years of weary waiting there is no ‘edge of enthusiasm to press the pair forward into a socially responsible ‘situation. It is too easy to drift along in the groove of habit with few responsibilities, and too difficult to make the effort required by change. | Your relationship has grown stale with the years. The. thing that keeps it alive for you is the threat of losing the young man to another. What would hapn if you reversed the situation’ and let him be faced with the fear of losing you? I do not mean that you can pretend an interest in another boy which you do not feel, thereby resorting to an ‘emotional trick to hasten the ‘marriage. ‘What I do mean. is that if you are tired of an en-

gagement which drags on forever,

lyou should steadfastly turn your face toward another goal. "Fill your life with other things. © Pursue other interests. Look at other men with a more appraising eye. It may be that you have not such a prize in your fiance after all. Then if the young man does not want to lose you he will be faced with the necessity of wooing you all over again. As it is you are too wrapped up in him. He has nothing left to win and that is why he takes you for granted. Surprise him by showing a little spunk; but don't pretent. Be prepared to go on without him if you must. JANE JORDAN.

Jower berth, and a gentleman offers to exchange; this may be done %t her discretion. | When ready to retire, ring for the porter to prepare the berth. In crowded trains, this may take some ~ time. It is courteous to consult the ~ seatmate before asking to have the i] made up. . For a night on the train one ould provide oneself with all the ; toilet articles. It is convenient for a woman to have a travling case holding all these articles. j modest comfortable kimona is y. One may dress in the ; regular dressing room. It is not : ible for a traveler to take possession of the dressing room, or to spread out his belongings so as to be in the way of others.

Dust Off and Tune That Discarded Studio Piano and Fit It

Says

—Times Photos by Cotterman.

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor

MATE you have a studio piano that has been relegated to the recreation room or the attic! If so —dust it off, attune it to the times and let Rhapsody in Blue be a part of life in the living room. It was with a touch of genius that Mr. and Mrs. Harold Taylor, 34 E. 45th-st, fitted a discarded piano into their artistic design for living. n a room unadapted to a normal zed grand piano, they made a .overeign place for this small upright, as may be seen in the upper photograph. Sketches were made of all possible arrangements, until Mrs. Taylor, whose hobby is interior decorating, hit upon this clever trick of building shelves (fashioned of corrugated fibre) just the width of the instrument and placing them between the small-paned windows above the piano. “So different . . . and artistic,” every one says, who sees this arrangement . . . and yet Mrs. Taylor says it was the simplest thing in the world to do. A can of white paint gave the dark wood of the piano case a new lease on life and dressed up the white shelves as well. The shelves’ addition of colorful ivy bowls, milk glass pitchers, and rose tinted bottles is just the touch to give the living room an interesting focal point.

INCE maple furnishings, Mrs. Taylor believes, find their most becoming complement in shades of yellow and gold, the downstairs walls of this attractive early American home are papered in gold beige with a tiny white fleck. This deepens the richness and glow of the maple furniture and contrasts effectively with the Alice blue silk rep window draperies, tied back with yellow grosgrain ribbon. All rooms should serve as perfect settings for their occupants, is Mrs. Taylor's opinion. Hence, she feels that when clothes fashions take on new color claims that rooms should be dressed in complementary shades to act as harmonious backgrounds. This can be done effectively and economically, she says, by laying the foundation of a neutral floor covering and making frequent changes in furniture slip covers. Briar (a brownish rust) broadloom is the rug choice in the Taylor home. An occasional chair upholstered in brown corduroy with yellow cord fringe reflects the same deep tones. Other chairs grouped about the room are in shades of blue and white to tone in with the drapes. The dining room, a corner of which is pictured above, is carried out in true Early ‘American manner. Gaily patterned glazed chintz curtains are draped back over sheer white glass curtains with quaint ball fringe trimming. Maple corner cupboards and ladder-back chairs with rush seats add their adornment to this cheerful room which beckons with warm hospitality. :

HALL DECORATION FASHIONS CHANGE

Fashions in hallway decorations are changing as rapidly as the styles in women's clothes. The conventional table and mirror is no longer “the” thing in hall fashions. Floor and wall coverings are playing a more important part than they did in years gone by. A small sofa, flanked by a pair of tables is an attractive grouping if the hall is large enough. When there is a window, small chests may be placed on either side. Repainting, repapering and redecorating in general may be done under the terms of the modernization credit plan of the Federal Housing Administration.

Held Asset to Boys and Girls

Important to Encourage Expression, Barton Explains.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Little children smile a lot. BY the time they are six, they are regular “sober-sides” most of the time. Then, comes 10 and a certain thoughtful importance takes hold. At 14 half of them scowl at nothing. . And from then on up. except in the case of a few vivacious girls, faces become uninteresting and set. All this is very general, of course. But I believe our land has the reputation of making very little exertion in keeping a friendly front to the orld, facially speaking. : Life is pretty earnest for children these days—and very full. Really, with school, sports, movies, clubs and a million books, their minds never get a rest. They are always thinking or concentrating on something or other.’ And of all things in the world, concentration tends to spoil facial lines. The child, intent, makes a lovely picture, to he sure, but in time, unless he watches himself, he develops a set look that drives the photographer mad. ; ression Important

Gifls need to be prodded about their expressions more than boys. Not that boys aren't important, but because we look to the women for charm. And not all the rouge and lipstick in the land can. correct a hard mouth, or a smileless eye. So many women are credited with

1 “hard” faces, who, when we get to

know them, are as kind as the south wind. \ : Usually they have been busy women, women who as girls met up with responsibilities of one kind or another: college, business or home cares. Some have had deep troubles while their maturer features were forming, and it left an indelible stamp. The later lines are more easily changed than the molded contours of adolescence. vik So do fry to make the children lock happy. Teach them how to look up with ‘interest and quick friendliness when spoken to. Don’t let the boy develop an habitual frown, or a chronic leer. Sometimes the expression is spoiled by nervousness, the perpetual lifting of an eyebrow, or curling of the lips. Maybe the child looks down all the time. them to look ahead and to learn to walk without gluing eyes to flagstones. : : Dead-Pan Girl “Graduates I like poise and a calm look as well as anybody. I never see much to admire in the giggler or the “googoo” eyed girl. But mobility and pleasantness are different. They are nice to look at and invite interest. All this because I was asked to look over a senior-class picture today, and the entire 80 girls may as well have been made of wood. Tired, of course, but it certainly showed.

t of any 80 gipsy girls

six would be on the other side. There would be sweetness and charm, and to spare. And character, too. If it’s a case of “the more we study the worse we look,” then I

let the world see something, mothers. No beauty shop can combat an expressionless or a stolid, set face. : (Copyright, 1936 NEA Service, Inc.)

Brushing Adds Waves to Hair

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

Hair that is brushed each and every night and treated with tonic or hot oil once a week is almost certain to be healthy and to hold waves and swirls for six or seven days. The idea that a finger-wave or a good marcel can not be brushed has been disproved. As a matter of fact, the more you brush, the deeper and

prettier the waves become. Your scalp needs exercise just as much as any other part of your body. Begin your nightly hair treatment with a brisk massage that stimulates circulation and loosens dry bits of cuticle. Rest your elbows on a low table, and put your head in your hands. Then, grasping your head firmly, move the scalp back and forth.’ Now part your hair in tiny sections and brush each section. Place the brush flat against your head and draw it outward to the ends. Keep on until all the dry cuticle has been removed and every hair is clean and polished. Comb <carefully, pushing waves back into place. If your hair is fine and doesn’t hold a wave any too weil, wear a hairnet while you sleep.

Braids Are Smart

Right now, it is smart to wear halo braids and halo rolls in the evening. If you have long hair, draw it softly backward, parting it at.the nape of your neck. Then make a braid of each section and fasten the braids around your head. If you prefer a roll, twist the two strands and pin them in place with invisible hairpins. If your hair is short, you can buy a halo braid which matches exactly the shade and texture of your own shining locks. One New York hairdresser leaves bobbed hair smooth acress the top, puts loose ringlets at the back and pins on a halo roll, the ends of v. hich are covered by the curls. This is simple to keep in place and looks especially well with the new, more feminine evening gowns.

Ordinary Foods May Be Made More Exciting Recipes Given to Make

Everyday Dishes Attractive.

: BY LOLA WYMAN Do you know the tricks of taking

| plain, everyday foods and, with a

fancy flourish or two, transforming them into something new and exciting? It can be done, and some home-makers are so skillful at this magic that the meals they serve are always delicious and different. Fill whole wheat muffins with creamed dried beef and garnish with crisp bacon curls. The brown muffin, ivory creamed beef and golden bacon will prove as delicious as they 1

ook. Speaking of bacon, if you have any left from breakfast that is nice and crisp, mince it finely and sprinkle it

| over creamed vegetable soup.

Whole Wheat Muffins 1% cups whole wheat flour 1 cup white flour 1% cups sour milk 4 tablespoons molasses 3, teaspoon soda 2 tablespoons melted butter. 1 ‘teaspoon salt Sift whole wheat flour. Add soda to molasses and still into milk. Add to dry ingredients, mix slightly and add melted butter. Drop from tip of spoon into well greased muffin pans and bake 25 minutes in a moderately hot oven (375 degrees F.). If iron muffin pans are used, they should be beaten before the batter is put in them. Bacon Sandwich Cut bread in one-fourth-inch slices and then cut in strips about four inches long and 2 inches wide. Spread with peanut butter mixed with tomato catsup. Put slice of thin bacon on each strip and broil under flame until bacon is crisp. Put broiler at least six inches from heat. Serve with chilled tomato juice as appetizer. : Cauliflower Recipe Trim cauliflower, but do not break into flowerettes. Soak, head down, in cold water for half an hour or longer. Cook, head up, in boiling salted water for 20 to 25 minutes. Prain and place on hot serving dish. Pour over strained juice of one-half lemon, Brown three tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs in three tablespoons, butter ‘and pour crumbs and butter over cauliflower. Top with two tablespoons hard-boiled egg yolk rubbed through a ricer.
