hardly 1d what he does say is a slur about I have done. He is just as cold as he can be. He savs he can never get his trust in me back. He has left me so many times, and he told me himself that he goes down to the tavern and dances and talks with the other girls there. Several times he has stood me np. Every one says I am too easy with him, but I love him enough to over-

look his wrongdoings.

I'm afraid he has given up our plans to marry. I'm trying to win him back. I'm even giving up my and dances so I can home every night. He doesn't set certain nights for dates. Please don't let this letter get by you unread. It means so much to me. R. S. ANSWER—I do not think you did wrong by going to the movies with another boy. On the contrary, you did right. Your lover has no right to impose rules on you which he does not observe himself. He has not lost his trust in you. He never had any to lose, or he would no object to so simple an occurrence 2s an evening at the movies with one of his friends. A more person would have been had a pleasant time, The whole picture you paint of this voung man represents a seifcentered, individual with no wnderstanding or regard for another person's feelings. He does exactly as he pleases, but objects when claim the same privilege. Moreover he has an out and out streak of cruelty which takes pleasure in another's hurt. It is time you faced these unpleasant facts about your boy friend and realized that the prognosis for happy marriage with him is poor He unable to enter into another's feelings with sympathetic imagination. As his wife you'd probably loneliest woman in the world. Love is the will to submission, too far. To give and dances in order to be available at all times for a man who makes dates only aceordto his own convenience is folly. The pathetic thing is that all this subjection isn't going to bring the love reaction vou want from him. It just gives him the chance to demand more and more and give less and less. What a life for you! JANE JORDAN.

Association Has All Keys To Memory

Teach Children to Remember by Related Ideas, Writer Advises.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

I had an idea for a story. Next day I forgot it. I kicked my brains about and then concentrated. No good, no good at all. A night's sleep and a busy morning had knocked it to limbo. Then I began a creeping process.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hoosier Wed to Georgian in South

With stealth and cunning I sneaked | in the back door of memory. Where was I when I thought that thought? Ah, in the hall. I was reaching up to turn on a light. I had the little dofunny at the end of a chain in my hand. Smack-bang, out came

the idea as though it had never been in hiding for stark hours while E groped. This association of ideas before, 1 believe to be the only answer to | memory. Try it on yourselves, “Who was it who said that to] me?” you are trying to recall. | “Who told me that war-debts were | 0 involved in exchanges and cancellations that nobody knew what | we had coming? “No, it wasn't Mr. Green or Mrs. Swane or Doctor Peters. Yet, | nobody else has been here. Well, I must be going crazy, but someone | said that just two days ago.” It doesn’t matter, but again you | feel that dread of losing your mind, | the more it resists yielding.

Surrealist Memory

“Well, of all things, I see a chair,” | you say. “It was somebody sitting in the old Queen Anne. And I also see something shining.” It isn't enough. Lots of people have | sat in the old Queen Anne and] there was plenty of surrealist | shining here and there, as you | vaguely review the scene. The cig- | aret box, the lamp, the glow of the fire. “But this shining was neither high nor low. It was—for goodness’ | sake, it was a bald head. Now I] have it. It wasn't two days ago, | but two weeks ago, that old Mr. Mason stopped in. Eureka! Mr. | Mason was the one.” But you still worry. Why all the struggle to get | at something as simple as that? Don’t worry. It is exactly what memory is. Johnny can't remember his lessons. He is grand at reasoning, | but memory is bad. Don’t tell Johnny he has a bad memory, and | don’t let him hear you tell anybody else. Try and work out some sort of a system to help him. He gets Black Seas Very well—put a ball on the Baltic and a spool of black thread on the other. Be sure he'll never forgt. Or he can't remember whether John Hancock or

He now led the ace and king of |
