Let Him Exhaust His Rage, Then Placate Him, Jane Says. Jane Jordan will help on with your

most difficult problems: by her answers to your letters in this column.

[DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a boy 17 years old. I am very much in love with a girl somewhat younger than myself and we plan to be married some day.. Everything was swell until one night I happened to see her when I wasn't)

supposed to. It was purely an ac-| |

cident and not pre-arranged. Her |

father saw us and he told me never | to come around. again; to stay away {from his daughter. Both of us were hroken-hearted and we didn’t know what to do. He will not listen’ to her. How can I win him over? We've done nothing to deserve such actions as this. SEVENTEEN. ANSWER—In dealing with a father like this one, you have to use the same methods a wise parent uses when dealing with a child in a tantrum. That is, let him get just as-mad as he pleases before you say anything back. Let him exhaust his rage while you remain calm. The more he raves at first the better it is -for your cause, provided you do not say something at the wrong time which arouses his obstinacy. When it is all over, a reaction will set in. Secretly he will feel guilty and ashamed, as indeed he should. Then you can work with him. You can placate him with soft-spoken reasoning, thereby giving him a chance to alleviate a rather miserable feeling by making magnamimous concessions. Do not let him see that you scorn him for his nasty behavior, or that you are afraid of his shoddy exhibition of power. I quote a piece of profound wisdom from the current best seller, “Gone With the Wind”: “Women knew that a land where men were contented, uncontradicted and safe in possession of unpunctured vanity was likely to be a very pleasant place for women to live. So, from the cradle to the grave, women strove to make men pleased with themselves, and the ‘satisfied - men repaid lavishing with gallantry and adoration. In fact, men willingly gave the ladies everything in the world except credit for having intel-

ligence.” Our modern women with their financial independence have come to scorn these femihine tricks as their dignity. But where a woman is ‘at the financial mercy of an unruly father, husband or even a recalcitrant employer, no better method of keeping the upper hand has been discovered by the most high-powered psychologist, psychiatrists or other students of the human comedy. Our modern girls have not been drilled in masculine psychology by their mothers. The pater famiiias who is absolute ruler of the tribe, the husband whose word is law to every member of the family, are figures which are disappearing in a changing society where so’ many women earn their livings, The woman today who refuses to use the wisdom of her sex 1n dealing vith men is rather proud of it. She has a great ‘deal of power in her etc which she adorns to use. But ‘why look for harder methods when such easy tricks work so well? Tell your girl friend that a grownup baby like her father would have been putty in the hands of an oldfashioned Southern girl. He's a sham, a bluff, a fierce puff of wind. Try feeding him sugar.

. 3 . Skirts to ‘Swing’ By United Press : HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 12. — Maybe it's the music but 17 motion picture designers decreed today that skirts wiil be higher in the spring. “They’ll be shorter and swingier — in keeping with swing music,” Edward Stevenson of R-K-O Studios exsPlained. Four to six inches will be clipped from the skirts, raising them to between 14 and 16 inches from the ground. The reduction in iength “is highly important in design,” the experts agreed. In addition to the shortening of the skirts each of the

designers had some other more individual ideas about what wduld be worn in the spring. They included predictions for “a rage for blue, cornflower and delphinium — particularly navy blue”; abandonment of puffed sleeves and the introduction of cartoon effects on print dresses. Oh yes, and the promise of Milo Anderson, Warner Brothers’ expert, that: “Women’s hats will mad.”

There is a dull rayon chiffon jersey, like a fine silk stocking, that is divine for daytime or for evening under the tropical moon. Colors for springtime and Southern wear are anything but wishywashy. Strong notes that catch and hold the eye are in order today. There's indigo blue, combined with fuchsia or copper, rust, emerald green, coronation red and all the deep warm tones that will last through the summer with more character than the pastels of other seasons.

Discipline in Training of Child Is Vital

Schools Often Fail to Give Proper Attention to Work Training.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Two forces work to reach the roots of character. They are completely opposed and confuse the average parent. One is to get re-

absorbing interest. The other is-to make the same child realize that certain things in which he has no interest whatsoever myst be done. In so many of our experiments with training in official schools that concentrate on work-train-ing, the latter has been neglected. Not so much now as formerly, when the world went mad about children expressing themselves in their own way, as: they chose, when they chose and if they chose. The iron of effort without liking was left out altogether. At that time, however, many truths were learned. For instance, the child who had developed selfishness or any other adverse quality, could be cultivated along these lines through reaching deeply into interest. Whether he learned to like others and be generous through mutual preferences, and to carry his newly-learned generosity into more sacrificial lines, is only to showsthat the “interest” motive had, and still has very valuable uses. However, it has proved its own weakness in other ways. It is likely to set prejudice more firmly, prejudice against any kind of work or duty that is not strictly to th child’s liking.

Must Learn Adjustment

Bob will, for instance, be very industrious about doing his. arithmetic but simply won't try to get his grammar. Or he will do errands all day, and do them weil, but he won't play with the baby for five minutes while his mother is busy. Now these two things, we say, are natural for a boy. He hates nouns and verbs and he won't play nursemaid. But Bob will grow up into a world that expects him to adjust himself to it. There will be times without end when he has to live, move and act without his ewn approval. If he is to set upon having only congenial tasks, surroundings he feels comfortable in, and so on, then I'm afraid he is going to be eaten up with conflicts and unhappiness, always dreaming of those things he wants to do and can’t. Had he learned to take the good with the bad, the hard with the easy, the routine - with the interesting, early in his young days, then conformity would make him more content.

Both Needed to Round Out Life

No one can be happy entirely in an atmosphere of irritating conditions. Each of us does better when suitably placed, according to temperament and all that. The engineer cannot be expected to shine as a singer, or vice versa. And neither. will be happy. In fact both may become so filled with complexes and worry that neither can work at all. But we have to allow for that. No two people are alike. However, each child should be given a good taste of doing many things he has little sympathy for, mixed in with the things-he loves to do. Expression on the one hand, character discipline on the other. It takes both to round out lives, either for children or adults. The newer training takes note of this. No longer do we find incorrigibles doing exactly as they please. A good bit of the old-fashioned regimentation is in vogue again, plus fun and individual interest. A grand recipe, for anyone.

whatever is scored for tricks, it is casy to see that the set is justified, if it prevents the other side from going game. It was this reaSoning by Mrs. Har-

{old W. Sax of Chicago which caused

her to make a very fine and brilliant bid on today's hand, played in the recent amateur national = pair championship of the American Bridge League. The auction was short and sweet. Mrs. Sax, sitting North, held only two kings, but she did have five hearts, and she did fear-a vulnerable game. Perhaps the game contract could be shut out, but at least it was worth a trial, and she did not believe in halfway measures. Naturally, East, with at least one sure heart trick and the ace of clubs, but with a rather weak hand to jump into the bidding at the range of four, decided to double, and the result is easy to be seen, South lost three diamond tricks to begin with, then West, holding the spade king, decided to shift to the queen of clubs. This was covered with the king and the ace won. A club was returned. Now South drew two rounds of trumps, leading first toward the king, and, of course, finessing the return. She then led another club, and now it did not matter. She could lose six tricks in all, making a set of only three tricks, 61 500 points. and the brilliant bid resulted in a top, instead of the average, which would have followed had East and West reached the spade game.
