A vises Girl in Early "Teens Meeting Boy Clandestinely to Let Time Solve Problem

£ Boy Is Fine Person as She Thinks, He Can Overcome Objections of Mother Eventually, Jane Tells ‘Anxious.’

Jordan will answer your questions daily by her replies to your letters in this column. :

JANE JORDAN—I am a girl in the early teens and have just begun to have dates. A year and a half ago I met a boy seven years older than myself. At pat time he was running around with a crowd which was pt the best of company and had a bad reputation. People talked terribly about him. I never did believe the stofies I heard about after I got acquainted with him I found out that I was right things people said were the truth. He began to walk home from church with me and our friendship became serious, Now we are in love. My mother does not allow me to go with this boy because of the difference in our ages. She does not know I have been seeing him. I hate to deceive her but as I care enough for the boy that this seems to be the only way out. Most people think that a girl of my age does not know her own mind but I am convinced that I know mine. I have had other dates before I met this bo and none of them compare with him. He has asked me to have other dates to see if I could care fér any one else, but I won't do it. I think too much him. Will you please tell me if I am doing wrong in meeting him out or should I stop seeing him altogether? We wish to be married after I finish school. How can I make my mother see that I am in

"= Jove and should be allowed to see this boy at home rather than meet "him out? ANXIOUS.

ANSWER—You are not altogether sure you are right; you only “hope you are. The boy's bad reputation surrounds him with a sort of ‘gl mour and your mother’s disapproval endows him with the lure of “the forbidden. The fact that you are doing something on your own without your mother’s consent, makes you feel grown up and importdnt. : ermore, you have championed the cause of a boy whom you be= Tieve has been unjustly treated and this tends to contribute to your own self-esteem. All these things conspire to rouse your emotions and ‘#nake you think you are in love. You may be self-déceived. I “don't know. "Time will tell far better than I can. Wait. I do not know the Jhoy and therefore can not tell whether your mother is merely” prejor whether her mature judgment is more accurate than yours. In the boy is as fine a person as you think, he can win your mother " 4h time. You can't hide your love affair forever. She will find out " seventually. x The important thing is to make no vital decision until you've “given time a chance to work for you. If the boy is unworthy, you're simply bound to find it out—in time. On the other hand if he is worthy, your mother is bound te find it out—in time,

" = = # DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 16 years old and have been going ‘steady for over a year. I love the boy all right but he tells me I can't go with him and keep the friendship of a girl cousin of mine, too. I must make a choice between them. I can’t possibly do this but I don't want to lose him, or her either. PERPLEXED.

gE ANSWER—What is his reason for trying to break up your friendship with your cousin? If it is unjust, you are quite right not to let him get away with such childish behavior. To yield to such an un-

§ feasonable demand is not good for him or you, either, but will set a

. precedent which will lead to other conflicts. If you lose him, you

can’t help it. You don’t want an unreasonable suitor anyway, do you? E JANE JORDAN.

This, the author states, is the first “asking bid,” and the response of partner, if there is no intervening bid, is based upon the strength or weakness of his hand.

But I have this quarrel with much of our plan of today. I think there are too many years given to living by proxy in books, and too few left for hustling in-a real life.
