Jane Warns

Girl, 19, Takes Little Affair Too Hard, Miss Jordan Says.

Put your troubles in a letter to Jane Jordan who will help vou with them by her answers in this column.

EAR JANE JORDAN] am a young girl of 19 and have been going with a fellow steadily for four

months. Recently I found out |

he has been engaged all this time | to an out-of-town girl and is going |

to marry her. and I thought he cared for me until I found out about his engagement. Since this time he has been acting indifferently, although he still asks for dates. I don’t think he has played the game fairly or squarely with me or the other girl. I know

I care for him a lot |

I shouldn’t go with him when he |

asks me, but do anyway. Each time I say it be the last, but each time he asks me it is the same thing over again. I go think he will not marry this girl, but I am afraid he will. I feel like 1 just can’t give him up, vet what can I do? I need your advice very, very WHAT SHOULD I DO.

much.

ANSWER—It is too bad that you

to take this little affair so seriously when the boy does not. Of course he isn't madly in love with the girl he is engaged to or he wouldn't be making love to you. And he isn’t madly in love with you or he

have

wouldn’ gagement to another. But dees this worry him? Not at all. He is merely in the process of trying them all and eventually will marry the one who hits him the hardest, I do think it would have been more ethical of him not to have engaged himself to anyone until he was more sure of his own affections, but boys do not attach such deadly importance to the love game as do girls. At 19 you are too intent upon permance for your own comfort. You expect a boy to mean every word he says, to sign on the dotted line and be faithful until death do you part. Because of your fiercely possessive attitude you can’t enjoy a pleasant companionship while it lasts for fear vou might have to let go in time. Can't you realize that if you don’t marry this boy there will be others, and that the more boys you know the wisew your final choice will be? DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl 16 years old going steady with a boy of 17. 1 care a lot for this boy and he says he cares a lot for me, but he does things to make me think he is just going with me for a pastime. I see him one or two evenings during the week and almost every day at school. I think Saturday or Sunday are the most proper times to see a girl

Solution to Previous Problem By W. E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary GARTON CHURCHILL of . Brooklyn is recognized by touryament bridge players not only as a very fine player, but as one of the few who have done original research work in bridge. His many friends will be glad to learn that, with Dr, A. B. Ferguson, he has written the first book on duplicate strategy and tactics, “Contract Bidding Tactics at Match Point Play.” The book, with a brief treatise on the underlying bidding principles, is devoted to a large number of interesting hands taken from duplicate, and accompanied by Churchill's clever analysis. Today's hand is one in which modern bidding methods are rather strikingly illustrated. Fittingly it was played by the co-authors of the work in a championship event. As Churchill expounds bidding, any suit over suit bid is forcing. No trump is a “limit,” or “red
