EAR JANE JORDAN—I

am a mother 30 vears old and have a son 7 years old. His father and I parted one year ago and were divorced four months ago, the court giving me the custody of the boy. Our trouble was that 1 am very affectionate and he is not. He is a lot more settled than 1 am. 1 like to go to dances and shows but we always have trouble when we do. He is even jealous of my girl friends. Since he has been away 1 have missed him a lot and really I could care for him vet if he were affectionate. I crave to be called “darling” and pet names but he never did it or told me 1 looked nice in my clothes, Now he wants us to go back together, but I was told by his best friend that while away he was married He also once told me, when he was mad, that he was married, but won't tell me where the marriage took place.

When he had a large of money I asked for a few dollars to get the boy some clothes but he refused. Of course there is a fellow whom I like very much. He does all the sweet things my exhusband does not; but he can give me nothing in the way of support am thinking of my son's welI will thank vou from the bottom of my heart if you can give me some advice TROUBLED MOTHER.

ANSWER—I do not know what vou should do. There is nothing in letter which makes mez feel a second marriage with this could be one speck happier the first. He still gambles; still frequents the poolroom; still refuses to support his son. All you is a promise and he has a record of breaking promises. That's not much to go on. Then there is this report that he married again, which he admits when mad. Question his best friend again and get the facts before vou contract a marriage which may not be legal. Apparently you are not dealing with an honest, trustworthy man at all. Of course a child is always a powerful argument to pull parents together, but some homes are So wretchedly unhappy that the children actually are less harassed when the parents are separated. If you see no prospects of changed behavior in vour husband, why risk the same situation all over again?

ANSWER--Tt is not necessary for vou to give a boy whom you know so little a Christmas present. If you " ant personal gift. Some candy that you made yourself; a handkerchief that hemmed yourself, anything small and unpretentious would be suitable, At 18 why worry whether boy means all that he says forever and ever or not? Why be so deadly serious about it all? I think it is fine to let a boy know vou like him and are interested in him. Just don't show more affection than he does and don't worry when he cools off. Be more casual in vour atgitude toward your first love affairs. The boys are. JANE JORDAN.

Meal Given Sparkle by Green Salad

Endive and Beet Mixture Is Suggested for Noel Menu.

Bu NEA Service Salad is to a dinner what a lake is to a landscape. It gives sparkle All through the snow months the markets are lively with greens which can join hands in a garlic-rubbed bowl and do a dance of health and lightness which will make every one feel better.

Here's as merry a salad as you could hope to serve on Christmas’ menu, light green, snowy, with endive and as red as holly with sliced beets. Ingredients are endive and sliced cooked beets in amounts depending on the size of your hospitality. Chill the endive after you have removed outer leaves that are imperfect. Use in heads, or if you prefer, remove leaves from stalks and serve that way. Arrange either leaves or stalks in a circle around edge of salad dish. In the center, arrange sliced cooked beets which have been chilled. Over them pour

Child’s Memory Confused; Early Impressions Usually Disappear, Writer Learns

One Never Can Tell What Will Be Retained or Forgotten, Barton Says; New Experiences Erase Visions of Early Occurrences.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Memory is particularly strange in children. One never can tell what will register and what will be forgotten, or rather, not retained at all. The younger the child, the more odd are examples of experiences retained. A baby may retain impressions or haunting visions people once known, but the outline never stays very clear unless some extreme event brings certain pictures to the surface in later years.

As the child gets a little older, |

say three or four, memory is confused with imagination, in many cases. He is so engrossed with new life and new happenings by the minute, that what has gone before is held by a mere thread. If some-

ture of that event, then, there it is, as clear as daylight. One example of this is that of the little boy who saw his father strike down his mother. She died, and the police questioned the boy for hours. One day, four months later, the nurse in the Children's Home was bathing him. In thas meantime he had gone on quite happily with his play and new companions, seemingly erasing from his mind all the tragedy of that fatal | day. Suddenly he said, “He stabbed her, I saw him. And she didn't get up.” “Who?” asked the startled nurse. “My mother. My daddy did it. I saw him.” And this 4-year-old babe continued with the whole story. He had actually forgotten, [ or blurred the day's events, in the | excitement of iiving, in spite of | close but kindly questioning.
