Friends, Advice|

Sour Grapes Attitude Is|

Sign of Jealousy, Jane Says.

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan who will answer your in this column,

: DEAR JANE JORDAN—I would like your opinion “on what makes people act this - way. We are as well off finan-

cially as our friends and relatives, We lived with my folks for five years after we were married, saving to build our own home. We built a datling little house and furnéshed it as nicely as we could. | Then we invited our friends and relatives see it. They said coolly that the house was nice but t. ‘had no Jane Jordan desire to own their own home. Or they said, “We wouldn't like it in this neighborhood.” And so on. Is it jealousy? I cant understand that, for they have jor could have the same as we. I is not only our house that ma them act this way but every g we possess. I do know that I would not say to my tall, ey friend, “You wear your dresses too short. It makes you look taller. Or to my short, fat friend, who has a new fur coat, “I wouldilike to have a fur coat, but I'm too fat to wear one.” When they get me down and 1 don't notice anything new they have, it gets them going worse than ever. I've always thought a true gentleman or gentlewoman was one who tried never to hurt any one’s feelings and tried always to be kind. What do you think?—DISGUSTED. ANSWER—Laugh it off or get more congenial friends; but whatever you do, don't let this little perversity of human nature upset you. One of the dandiest ways to get over your own desire for something that belongs to somebody else is_to depreciate its value. So profound a truth is this that it was used as the moral of one of Aesop’s fables hundreds of years ago. Remember the story of the fox who couldn't reach the grapes he jumped for and so - called them sour? It isn’t that your friends actu#lly covet the possession of your home or your clothing, but merely that your possession of these things puts you+in the superior position for the time being and their personal prestige is lowered. Therefore, they must belittle you and your possesstons fo keep down their own childish jealousies. You are right in your definition of a true gentleman or gentlewoman. A superior person does not inflict pain unnecessarily, but neither does a superior person allow himself to be hurt by the smallness of others. It seems to me that these childish “offcises of your friends are really ‘beneath your notice. You can afford to smile in secret and be tolerant. What of it, anyway? It's not important—only irritating. JANE JORDAN.

Etiquette

ued)—A home ceremony seldom permits =n elaborate procession, and there is usually only a maid or matron of honor to precede the bride. Even in the most fashionable home weddings, there are at most only half a dozen bridesmaids. The order in which the procession moves is the same as at the church wedding. There usually is a floral canopy under which the ceremony is performed. At the close of the ceremony, the clergyman steps aside, and the couple faces the guests to receive their congratulations. The wedding breakfast or reception frllcws immediately the conclusion of the wedding ceremony. All the guests attend the reception.

Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Griffith, Owensboro, Ky., are guests at the Antlers Hotel. Mrs. Griffith was formerly Miss Joan Walker of this city.

The child pays the price, For a while the rest of the poor deluded youngsters will make tin gods of the girl or fellow who has them licked: Who is to walk bee

books? It is just grand. “I must be a most remarkable child,” Mary, thinks, “I'm more - popular than any one.” Or Bill . begins to swagger. “When I tell you fellows to do 4t, do 'it, see” he says one day. “I'm running gang.” Then. one, day there is an awak ening. No, Mary never wakes up, nor does her neighbor Bill. But the others do.

Jealousy Crops Out

They turn jealous, and why not? Being perpetually outshone gets to be a bore. The girls stop helping with Mary's lessons and no: longer: fight for her arm. The boys discover that Bill can’t fight for ‘himself, or even win a race. He won't anything he can’t win at. So they don’t make him president of the club any more. -It has come to a show-down, and’ Mary and Bill must deserve preference on their own account before they get it. Poor Mary and Bill. J was not their fault. It is best to ‘study conditions of neighborhoods and schools and then caparison the children accordingly. They should fit. Not always is it easy, or even possible to adjust standard to commue nity, but certain extremes are within any one’s power to control. (Copyright, 1936, NBA Service, Inc.)
