DEAR JANEW ORDAN—I am a girl almost 21 years old. Ever since I have been old enough to have dates I have had to ask permission to do this and that. I didn’t mind when

--: 1 was younger but now it really bores me to death, My moth8 or has a very nervous disposition, and when I come home at = night I sometimes find her in such a nervous state that it is

necessary to have a doctor.

What puzzles me is that she really hasn’t anything to be worried over. She has never had any trouble with me. I have met a man whom I love . and in the spring I am thinking seriously of getting married. I will live >: « quite a distance from my folks, in another state. Do you think that since : _ my mother is of this nervous disposition I am doing wrong by leaving _- her? I don’t know what this shock might do to her. Please give me some

-. advice.

UNHAPPY.

ANSWER—I do not know whether you should get married or not at =~. this time. I do know that in making your decision you should not be in-

1.

. mother,

fluenced for or against marriage by the fact that you have to leave your

Your wish to marry should not come as a shock to your mother. If she

thinks you are young and unprepared, or that the young man is unsuit- |

able, she would be justified in urging you to wait a bit, but she would not be justified in asking you to give up marriage in order to remain with her. ] It is a failing of parents that they wish to prolong the childhood of et their offspring beyond its normal span. At 21 years you should not have to ask your parents when you should come or go or have dates. If you . had started to revolt against such close supervision several years ago, ~ you might not be in such a hurry to marry now. ; A young girl who has not been allowed the freedom in which to develop, who has never been allowed to make her own decisions, is apt to

look upon marriage as an escape from parental domination. She regards |

it as her only chance to grow up and shake off the fetters of home. Therefore she is prone to accept the first presentable young man who pro-

..- poses to her.

This, taken alone, is a bad reasondior marriage. Many times the girl comes to realize that all she has done is to exchange one set of problems for another and that marriage is not the panacea she hoped for. I do not know what your mother’s difficulty is. Her worries are not obvious to you, " but they're real enough to her. Whatever they are, you are not to blame and should not be required to sacrifice any of the major adjustments of your life for the relief of your mother’s feelings. In your revolt, do not cast out all respect for her opinion unless you have to. Once in a while a mother is right, but if she is too bossy, her daughter fails to heed the wisdom of her well-meant advice. To cage the young is to invite them to fly to their doom in order to escape the bars.

he learns that many hands contain honor combinations, the proper play of which presents, difficulties, and that in many of them even the masters go wrong. Today's hand is simplicity itself, and were .it not to illustrate the principle, it might be considered too “easy” to present as a problem. West's opening lead to the king of spades held the trick and the suit was continued. East- won the third round with the ace. Then he. led the king of clubs, which South won with the ace. Although the rest of the play looks easy, South, by careless play, could lose it, if for instance, he should make a wrong decision as to the manner in which trumps should pz played. Obviously, if West holds four trumps, he must win a trump trick, anyway, as there is no way to pick up the outstanding cards without losing a trick. If East holds four, however, with a little care South can take all the tricks. If the trumps are divided three and two, the hand presents no problem. South laid down the king of trumps and then led a low trump to the ace. When West failed to follow, he captured 3Iasts two irumps by means of a finesse. Had South carelessly led to the ace first, he would have been forced to take a blind finesse against East, or lose his contract. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

A trousered afternoon dress is the novelty suggested by Parisian innovator Robert Piguet. It is entirely of heavy purple crepe except for the belt, which is a torsade of purple and a distinctive blue green. The dress itself is cut on simple tunic lines, fastening at the side. The trousers are cut on the lines of court breeches and, like the dress sleeves, are fin-

ished with a row of self buttons.

Mrs. Roosevelt's Day Back To Normal After Inaugural

(Mrs. Roosevelt’s Column, Page 13) By RUBY A. BLACK

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. — Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt planned a “normal” day today after greeting upwards of 4000 persons yesterday in 16 hours of public functions. The First Lady has two social events to attend—a “Molly Dewson Roundup” staged by women Demo-

cratic leaders and a formal luncheon in her honor by Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr., wife of the Secretary of the Treasury. Mrs. Roosevelt in addition, will see a number of other people during the day, catch up on her correspondence and, as usual, dictate her daily syndicated newspaper column, White House guests are still complaining that it was “midnight dark” when Mrs. Roosevelt aroused them for breakfast yesterday -beiore the series of inaugural functions. But Mrs. Roosevelt looked fresh and rested as she remained to the end of the inaugural concert last night.

President’s Mother Active

The President's mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt, 82 years old and only woman in United States history twice to see her son inaugurated President, went gayly through the day. She was the despair of the youthful naval aide assigned to escort her at the tea for 3000 at the White House. She just wouldn't sit down when he brought a chair for her; she insisted upon talking to everybody who spoke to her; she blithely rushed through the crowd to see friends in another room, and even offered to get tea for some of them, but was prevented by shocked aides who rushed for the teacups. The President’s mother revealed the qualities of memory and quick thinking needful to the skillful politician in the following conversations overheard at the tea: Guest: “I'm a Texas Democrat.” Mrs. James Roosevelt: “I have a fine grandson in Texas.” Guest: “I'm a Democrat from Delaware.” Mrs. James Roosevelt: “How nice! You know, I am going to have a lovely granddaughter-in-law from Delaware.” Mrs. Louis McHenry Howe, widow of the President’s secretary: “How are you, Mrs. Roosevelt?” - Mrs. James Roosevelt: “Fine! And how do you like being postmaster at Fall River?”

Wears Presidential Pin

The President’s mother considers herself particularly blessed, because of the joy she has in her son’s career. She proudly pinned on her dress a button three inches in diameter on which was a picture of the President. : ~The only concessions Mrs. Roosevelt made to her age were that she left the tea for a little rest before dressing for the concert, and instead of sitting on the outside stand, in the rain she remained at an inside window. . Otherwise, she did everything her indefatigable daughter-in-law did,

except shake hands with all the 750 luncheon guests and the 3000 tea guests, and write a newspaper column.

Change Clothes, Not Weight, for .Slim Appearance

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer Although you can change your weight, proportions and manner of dressing, improve your complexion, hair and nails, you simply cannot —once you have stopped growing— make yourself taller or shorter or change the formation of your bones. It is waste of time to worry about your weight. If you are short, stay slim ‘and make up your mind to wear clothes that enhance your appearance. Don’t try to shorten and - wear dresses-which were designed for tall women and don’t wear three-inch heels when you ought to have on sports or walking shoes. You are supposed to dress in good taste, regardless of your size. If you are very tall, don’t labor under the unhappy delusion that you can make yourself look shorter by hunching your shoulders forward or walking with your head down. You can’t, so why substitute bad carriage for good posture, one of the fundamentals of real beauty? It is a waste of energy to fret about the shape and size of your bones. You can reduce a double chin or fat cheeks, but you can’t make over your jaw and cheekbones. These will stay as they are as long as you live. However, with correct makeup, applied intelligently, you can dramatize your good points and conceal to some extent those which aren't as nice. Rouge casts a shadow and powder acts as @ highlight. If you put rouge below your cheekbones a powder on them, the hollows in your cheeks will appear deeper. Mascara and eyeshadow make small eyes look larger. And a lavish coat of lipstick helps to make a too-tiny mouth more prominent. Your life will be simpler if you remember that small defects never are as obvious as you think. The chances are 10 to one that the dozen freckles on your back aren’t noticed, much less worried about, by aneone besides yourself. The majority of your friends probably aren’t even aware that your fingers are unusually short. Why tell them?

In Failing to Stress Self-Development. By OLIVE ROSERTS BARTON I am going f¢ have some criti-

cism on thise declaration, but it cannot be helpedl. I have the ut-

‘| most impatience with stupidity.

Right at the lieginning let me exclude the peciile who have never had a chang, the .underprivileged and the mentally undered. All oliiers come under It is inherent in me. I cannot help it. | But to get aisy from personalities, let: us talk of brains in general. What are brains? Not piles of gray matter in the skull, but some little hidden spot that has eyes and ears : or everything. It may be in the lrain, in the spinal cord or in the iiver. I would not know. But this determination to keep alert and ii keep working toward knowledg:! and values i something aparf from the purely mental processes. Hunts fixceptions We have heard it said that human beings use only 10 per cent of their brains. That at least 90 per cent dies of {iirophy. Whatever

the figures, these must be some

| truth in it. Yet, I am rather tired

of brains. Weary bf the intellectual. But always lookiiig for that rarity who is trying to inake the most of himself, who is &lert and observing and trying to do iiis best. : I am impatient with people who have to be conste iitly reminded and jacked up, who repeat the same mistakes over aril over. Who are so intent on inn¢: affairs that they cannot look out at others. Who blunder and thei try to pin it on somebody else. | Who substitute anger for real d¢fiance, or admission. Who feel sorry for themselves when they ill up with wishful thinking, a1: get so jealous they can’t move. I feel today @& though we had missed the boat iii our schools and colleges. I am a jit weary of books and facts. | : Teach ‘\lertness What we need {5 to accent character and to get out of this everlasting groove if think for us. I think and spread the news. Well, [ never ask anybody to take my irord for it. I try to knit all the ch? racter-making ingredients and leave it to others to form their own cinclusions. This is my ideil of education. I think that we mist teach children to use the hidde: springs of selfdevelopment. Tliey need to be taught. alertness first of all. And briskness of phy:iical and mental action.
