EAR JANE JORDAN—I

am a young girl in love ‘with a young man of 19. My ‘parents do not allow me to have dates, and I have been secretly seeing this boy for a year and a half. I really do love him and I know he loves me. I hope to marry him seme day. Do you think it wise for me to meet him out? Or should I keep on seeing him secretly until I am of the age to have dates and then tell my parents? What age do you

Jane Jordan think a girl

should be to have dates?

TROUBLED.

ANSWER—In my opinion it is folly for parents to keep a girl away from boys at any age from the cradle to college. To hide a daughter from boys until she has reached what par"ents believe to be the age of discretion and then present her with the freedom to have dates is just as wrong as it can be. The girl with no opportunity to acquaint herself with the other sex until she is 20 years old is either so awkward and shy that she can’t succeed or she revolts and makes her own opportunities without her parents’ knowledge, as you have done. I do not know how to advise you for I do not know your parents, If they are not too austere and unreasonable, I should think you could ‘override their objections. Sometimes when parents realize that a girl is determined to get acquainted with young men, with or without her parents’ co-operation, they actually prefer for her to entertain her men friends in her own home rather than to meet them in odd corners. 1 admit that some parents are so intolerant that deception is the only path open to their children. You are absolutely within your rights in seeing the young man. The only thing I regret is that you fancy you are permanently in love with him when you haven't had adequate

_ opportunity to know him. All your

meetings have been. shrouded in You've ‘never seen each other under normal circumstances. You simply can’t know enough of the boy to be sure you want to marry him. _ Of course he puts his best foot foremost, just as you do, in the few moments when you are able to see him. His reactions under a long stretch of companionship might conceivably reveal qualities which you would not like at all. Your parents have defeated their own ends in making “dates” attractive by forbidding them. By the time a girl is 19 she should have met dozens of boys, talked with them, danced with them, played

~ with them, and compared them with

other boys in her group. After all, we live in a universe peopled with both men and women. Our task is to learn to get along with both. Any

- act or attitude ' which makes free ~ association with both sexes difficult

is wrong. JANE JORDAN,

There is the one about Peter Rabbit, you know, “Peter Rabbit Music,” with B. Potter’s little stories in music style.

A Funny Bull Here is a lovely new book by Munro Leaf, “The Story of Ferdinand” (Viking Press, Pub.). Ferdinand was a bull that liked to smell flowers. Who'd think a bull could be ‘funny? Lois Lenski has illustrated a new

“Mother Goose” with the cutest pictures ever (Harper's), and, speaking of pictures, when grim old Grimm,

the fairy-tale-teller, can be made to i

make us laugh, it is something indeed. Wanda Gag has selected “Tales | From Grimm” for young children, and put fun into the sketches she made. Pictures play a big part in today’s books, and, I am glad to say, humor, too. Agnes McCready has done a book that ought to convince the preju-

diced school-goers, ahead of time, |

that it is a pretty fine place to be— that is, if the prospects are for a school anything like the one pictured in the book. It is called “A Day at School.” Another photographic book is “The Cotton Book,” by W. C. Pryor and Helen S, Pryor (Harcourt Brace). !

Diversity of Subject Matter

“Teeny and the Tall Man,” by Julian Meade (Doubleday, Doran); “Tammy and the Puppy,” by D. and M. Bryan (Dodd, Meade); “The Merry Mouse,” by Helen and Alf Evers (Farrar and :Rinehart); “The Tale of the Sorry Sorrel Horse,” by Elizabeth Honness (Nelson) are

right up to date in diversity of sub- |

ject, ‘humorous - interest ‘and sympathy. For those just a little bit older, Mary Graham Bonner’s last of many successes is “A World of Our Own” (Dutton); another is “Little Girl With Seven Names,” by Mabel Lee Hunt( Stokes). Also, “Oak Tree House,” .by Katherine Gibson (Longmans); “Jonathan Bing and Other Verses,” by Beatrice C. Brown (Oxford); “Lost Corner,” by Charlie May Simon (Dutton); “Here’s Juggins,” by Amy W. Stone (Lothrop); “Jerome Anthony,” by Eva Knox Evans (Cowaard)—well, 1'd better stop for today. I have a habit of reducing age rather than stretching it when it comes to appropriate books for children of certain years. I feel that confusion. and - distaste for books may result from putting a too-old book into a child’s hands. Many of the books on the next list, therefore, will also be suitable for these younger boys and girls. Actually, when it comes to reading, there is no age. : (Copyright, 1936, NBA Service, Inc.)

Solution to Previous Problem BY WM. E. MKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary T has sometimes been said that one mark of an expert bridge player is that he not only gets more out of his aces and kings than does the average player, but that he has a knack of finding useful tasks for the deuces and treys which look so very meaningless to the amateur. Two of the younger masters who

|are expected to attend the forth-

coming national championship tournament of the American Bridge League at the Hotel Stevens in Chicago, the week of Nov. 30, are Jules Bank and George Rapee. In a recent tournament held in Albany, N. Y. Bank showed that he fully appreciated the value of a “worthless” card. Bank sat South and when the opening lead was made, and the dummy spread, he could see that he had his contract without any trouble. Five odd was certain, as his

heart, but Bank looked around to

see whether he could get a little more out of the hand.

After West had won the first trick with the ace of hearts, he led a spade to dummy’s ace. Bank then played seven rounds of clubs, leaving in his own hand the queen and nine of diamond, the five of clubs and the seven of hearts. Dummy held the three of spades, K-10 of hearts and ace of diamonds. East retained, as his four final cards, the K-10 of diamonds and the Q-J of hearts. Now Bank led a diamond to dummy’'s ace. Then he played dummy’s three of spades, which had been saved for that special use. East was squeezed. If he dropped the diamond king, Bank’s remaining diamond would - be good. If he discarded a heart, he would establish both hearts in dummy. Thus six odd were made on a hand which had appeared a some-

what doubtful four. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Supper Ideal | for Parties

Removes Strain and Provides Intimate Way of Serving Guests.

By NEA Service Your bridge club, we'll say, cone sists of 3 tables—12 persons. Your dining room is small, and you do your own work. Bui it's your turn to have the club to dinner. Excitement? Not at all. Plan to serve a hot buffet dinner. Use your dining table as a serve On it, before the guests arrive, arranges silver, coffee cups, napkins and Serving plates, all attractively placed and easily reached. When you bring in your baked chicken turn-overs with fresh mushroom sauce, either singly, with each service made in the kitchen, or on a large platter from which you serve the turn-overs to the plates, it is the signal for the gentlemen present to step up to the table, wait while you and one good friend serve, then carry the plates to the ladies who remain seated. Have as many small tables about the room as possible. De not set these tables. Be sure the room is well supplied with cigarets and matches. Chicken Turnovers for Twelve Four cups boiled chicken, cut ine to small cubes, 2 2-3 cups heavy cream sauce made with chicken stock, salt, pepper, celery salt, rich pastry. Mix the chicken and cream sauce. Roll pastry 1% inch thick and cut into rounds. Use a large kitchen spoon. Place a spoonful of chicken and sauce mixture in center of each pastry round. Moisten edges of pastry with milk, then gather up

.over the chicken filling, pinch to-

gether to make smooth closing, Bake on a large pie tin in mode erately hot oven until golden brown, Serve with a mushroom sauce.

Mushroom Sauce

For 1 quart sauce, melt 4 tablespoons butter in large pan. Then turn in 1% pounds sliced fresh mushrooms and cook for 6 minutes. Season delicately. Then dust 3% tablespoons butter over mushrooms, mix in well, and slowly add 4 cups milk. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Serve with turnovers.

Brownies

Brownies (enough for the party) call for 3% cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, % cup flour, % teaspoon salt, 1% teaspoon baking powder, 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup walnut meats broken in small pieces, 1 teaspoon vanilia, Cream shortening, add sugar and well-beaten eggs. Sift flour once, then measure, and sift flour, salt and baking powder together, and add, to cream mixture. Add melted chocolate. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour into well-greased quart glass utility dish and bake 40 minutes in moderately slow oven.
