Oy Complains Because Girl Refuses Kiss
It Is Juvenile to Expect Them on First Date, Jane Declares.
Put your problems in a letter fo Jane whe will answer your questions in this column. Please comment on all problems which interest you.
PEAR JANE JORDAN— 5 What is your opinion of a girl who won't even let a fellow kiss her? I maintain that
. the kiss has lost most of its
significance. I have known the girl for several months, but lately had my first date with her. This . date stuck me plenty in comparison to what I make, We attended an athletic contest in the afternoon, then that evening we had dinner and took in a show. Besides this there was gasaline to buy. Don’t you think I earned it? DISAPPOINTED. ANSWER—This letter is going to bring down plenty of wrath on your
Jane Jordan
head from the girls who read it. I|
should like to have as many of them as possible reply and I will print their letters. Perhaps they will help you more than I can to see the girls’ point of view. This is a sore subject, I can tell you. Girls bitterly resent the fact that boys expect them to pay for an evening’s entertainment with their kisses. Your mistake lies in supposing that emotion can be bought in exchange for theater tickets, food and gasoline. It is not strange that you should want to kiss your girl,—that is natural; but you can’t buy an emotional response from her, Girls are more discriminating than boys and kiss because a boy attracts them—not because they feel obliged to because money has been spent. Your girl may like your companionship fine without wanting to kiss on the very first evening she spends with you. Or she may want to kiss but is afraid.to do so. Her mother may have taught her very wisely not to fall into the arms of a boy the first time he makes love to her for fear he will become bored with the ease of his success. Remember she isn’t at all sure of your reactions to her, because so many boys insist upon yes while expecting no, and turn aside from easy acquiescence in disgust. It is a little juvenile of you to expect kisses on the first date. An older and wiser man has patience to let a friendship grow before he plunges into the intimacy of kissing. Your very attitude that the kiss has no significance is offensive to a sensitive, romantic girl. This is the last thing in the world she wants to believe. She wants to feel that there is something special about her that has made you choose her from -all others. A kiss divorced from genuine affection means less than nothing to a worth-while girl. Un= +less you can understand this you must be content with a more shallow type. Now let us hear from the girls themselves. Watch for their re-
plies. JANE JORDAN

Super Duck Hunting Suit

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor ; A HONING they are going . .. these modern Nimrods. : Nine out of ten men who are hunters wear the typical woods-
man’s garb of super-duck in khaki
color, like the suit pictured. Eager
to be on the trail, both man and dog are prepared to laugh at brambles,
thickets, rain, snow or “come what pered to outdoor roughing, and the hunter has adopted weather- and water-proof clothes that offer equal resistance to the elements. Beneath the hunting jacket is a snug, soft, water-proof suede leather shirt made like a cloth shirt. A breast pocket has a flap that buttons down, so that any valuables you may want to carry have absolute protection.
# 8 u
VEST of duck, also water-proof, comes -next, made with the regulation number of pockets. (At least enough to carry 36 to 48 shells.) The hunting jacket is. roomy enough to allow for an extra sweater if ‘the thermometer is dropping. It is made up almost entirely of pockets—two for game, others for small gear, and an inside double pocket for pipe or cigarettes. The breeches lace up the sides. Of course, the boots are the kind that have the waterproofing ingredients tanned right into the skin rather than chemically applied to the outside. Heavy wool turn-over socks reach almost to the knees. For going afield there's a reversible side of flaming red to the duck cap. Ear flaps are added for cold weather protection. This is the type of hunting outfit recommended by local sports shops to be “duck soup” for all sportsmen who wish to go out prepared to bag their game under all conditions.

John A. Dowd, agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation here, described the bureau’s work in fighting crime before the Woman’s Department Club community welfare department today.

Clarence Grinstead, Indiana state police field agent, demonstrated fingerprinting processes described by Mr. Dowd. Luncheon guests included Miss Etta Jackson, Indiana Women’s Prison assistant superintendent; Mrs. Anna Pickard, Marion County Juvenile Detention Home superintendent; Dr. Kenosha Sessions, In-

and Dr, E. M. Dill, Indiana Boys’ School superintendent. Mrs. Charles H. Smith presided.
will be reading it, too. Now comes an entirely different “work of art.” It is new in this country, but I can not help wonders ing why it has not reached us soone er, from its native Australia. “The Magic Pudding,” by Norman Linde say (Farrar & Rinehart). Boys and girls, mothers and ers, and all the kin will be quoting the mad merry, jingles of the Society of Pudding Owners, Bunyip: Bluegum (a bear), Barnacle Bill (naturally a sailor) and Sam Sawnoff (a pene guin). It is going to last, I predict, as “Alice” has lasted. The pudding, “Albert,” is always being eaten, but never grows less. Boys and girls will love its lusty humor.
Adventure and Mystery
“Ship's Parrot” by Honore Morrow and William Swartman (William Morrow) is about David, the young Cornish boy, with a love and understanding of birds. Full of adventure and mystery and the reward of courage and kindness. Excellent. “Sachim Bird,” by Gertrude Robe inson (C. P. Dutton), is a beautifule ly written thriller for boys and girls, Based on authentic history, but woven into fabric of adventure and romance; Robin, the hero, and his Indian pal, Squando, hold the reade er breathless with escapes and feats of Plowess: : “Fresh and Briny. a Story o Water as Friend and Foo” by a ces Rogers and Alice Beard (Stokes) makes the experienced reader wonder why such a volume was not turned out years ago. As fascinating a revelation as one could find, and a mine of information. Watch the boys eat, or rather “drink” it up, Tangled Waters,” by Florence Crannell Means (Houghton), is the story of an Indian girl on a reser~ vation. “Listening,” by Kate Ser edy (Viking Press), is about “Gail” and her Uncle George's stories of a grand old house. “Mitty on Mr,
| Syrup’s Farm,” by Ruth bangdon
Holdberg (Doubleday), will interest girls. Also, “Saddle and Bridle” by Pjeril Hess - (Macmillan), ranch life and a girl's experience, I promiséd an extra list of books for the in-betweens, so must mention some favorites both old and new: “OI'’ Paul the Mighty Logger,” by Glen Rounds (Holiday); “Tales From a Finnish Tupa,” by James Bowman and Margery Bianco (Whitman); “Mary Poppins,” by P. L. Travers (Reynal); “Our Chile dren,” by Anatole France (Dodd Meade); “Blue Fairy Book,” by Ane drew Lang (Longman’s); “Tales From Grimm,” by Wanda Gag (Coward). The best way is to go, look and choose for one’s self. I have not even dented the list. (Copyright, 1936, NBA Service, Inc.)
