Jill's’ Boy Friend Vexes Her by Behavior When Other Girls Are Present

He Is Piqued Because, at His Suggestion, She Had

Dates With Others, Jane Says and Suggests Giving Him Some of Own Medicine.

Jane Jordan will help you understand your problem better by her answers to your letters in this column. 5 n n u ” n

EAR JANE JORDAN-—I1 am a girl of 15. For over seven months I went with Jack, who is 17. We had a grand time together. A month or so ago he decided that he didn’t love me any more and that it was foolish for us to tie ourselves down. 1 was broken-hearted but went ahead and had dates with other boys. These other boys showed me good times and although I still loved Jack I saw that I had been wrong in going steady. Then Jack told me that he still loved me and had been a little hasty in his decision. Now I'm having dates with all the boys, but mostly Jack. He treats me fine when there are no girls around. Before other girls he treats me awful, saying nice things to them for my benefit, I think. I have fun with other fellows, but when Jack is around I pay no attention to them. I wouldn't care if Jack did the same, but it is this showing off in front of me that hurts. I know Jack loves me and that the others mean nothing to him but I can't stand the way he acts. He is good-looking, likeable, a fine dancer, dresses well, has his own car, and he loves me. What more could any girl ask for? But I can't put up with it much longer no matter ‘how much I love him. Please help me decide what to do. JILL. ANSWER—You piqued the young man be accepting his suggestion that you go out with others instead of eating your heart out as he expected. In order to regain his power over you he began courting you again, but takes his revenge by humiliating you before other girls. Many men believe, with some reason, that the ony way to keep a woman in love with them is to make love to her women friends. It seems to work in your case, doesn't it? Although you suffer from jealousy and hurt pride, your love burns just as brightly as ever. Why don’t you turn the tables on the young man? 1 believe that this is what he really wants. Try complimenting his boy friends in his presence and let him feel the pinch of jealousy. Please note that when you began having dates with other boys his flagging interest in you revived. Perhaps he, too, needs competition to keep desire alive. Remember, too, that it was he who incited you to provide him with rivals. It is rather silly, isn't it? When each party is obliged to keep the other on the anxious seat in order to make himself more desirable, the prognosis for happiness isn't very great. I should think you would prefer a less harrowing friendship with some other boy without these uncomfortable love requirements, DEAR JANE JORDAN-—Is it good taste for a girl to give her boy friends gifts like shirts, ties, or to give parties for him? Every fellow I ever gave a gift to or tried to show my appreciation for, has turned me down. What is the attitude men take toward a girl who resorts to such methods of holding her boy friends? THELMA. ANSWER—Look what has happened in your case! Never give gifts to a hoy whom you have not known for a long while and who has not first established the custom of exchanging gifts. Then make your offering something very simple and impersonal. Don’t make occasions for giving gifts, but wait for Christmas and birthdays. When a girl does more than a boy in the matter of gifts and parties he suspects that she is more interested in him than he is in her. Usually he is right about it. JANE JORDAN.

Daughter Now Sets Style for Mother

By GERTRUDE BAILEY Times Special Writer NEW YORK, March 22.—The chic mother who likes to match the costume of her 8-year-old daughter will find some pretty good companions, in sizes from 6 to 20, in the new spring clothes. Each of the fashion trends is dramatized in clothes for mother and daughter. The short box reefer, for example, appears in black and white shepherd's check, with a tiny black velvet collar in sizes irom six to 12. Mother's coat is in a boider check, but exactly the same in cut and trim. Mother's skirt is short and slim, daughter's box-pleated. Both wear Breton sailors. The feeling of self-assurance the daughter gains in realizing that her mother wants clothes like hers is constructive in building stronger mother and daughter relationships—"just pals,” according to their wardrobes.

Big Families May Be Help

To Children

Certainly Children Need Company to Teach Them Lessons.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Do children do better in a big family or a small one? Certainly it is best for the child to have company and to learn the give and take of living with others, as early as he can in life, but on the other hand, there are children who need a certain peaceful environment to develop to the fullest. Yet the Chinese accent their | multi-family life, because they have a theory thousands of years old, that living in the noise and confusion with all the grandparents, in-laws and children bunched together in one house develops peace; because it permits self-withdrawal under any circumstances. The Chinese are, individually and collectively, the most placid of pzople.

Disposition Dictates Friendships

Great men have come from huge families. Again, they have been “only” children. The same can be said of the “happiest” men and women. There is nothing to prove that either one or the other is preferable. One thing is certain—the child does need company. The company he keeps depends on his disposition, too. Nothing is more destructi e than rough and ready companions who will tramp out all self-confidence in a child, if he has too little of it anyway. | Where there is one shy and] sensible child in the family of sev- | eral children, he learns a Kind of toleration for the extravert brothers and sisters. Intimacy never cuts quite as deeply as] mere association. Buddy says, | “It’s only Jim who hoots when I| whistle,” and so it’s all right. | Outside friends are more im-| portant, however, when it comes to | feelings. Buddy strains to do his |

| atmosphere, although it is only the | | Smith and Jones youngsters he has | known for a year or two.

He needs to have some prominence in the] street group, or at least as good al standing as any other boy.

Accepts Others’ Valuation

If he doesn't get it, is daily bull- | dozed, or never gets his turn, it | won't be long until he takes himself at their estimation and loses | what little pride he has. This can happen in families, too, in spite of the fact that Buddy may be less affected by overpowering Jim than by outside friends. In the family, the greater danger lies in parents making comparisons between himself and his brother, or sister. Every child should have a few intimates who are somewhat like himself in disposition. He will rise to a higher level if he is under- . But he must not “escape” | too much, so should have variety in his friends. (Copvright, 1937. NEA Service. Inc.)

Baby Lamb Is Ideal for Easter | Meal

It’s So Good It’s Cheap At - Any Price, Writer Says.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer Over a field of yellow daffodils, linen as white as snow, baby lambs gambol with succulent glee. For your Easter dinner there's nothing more delicate. Not just spring lamb, remember, but baby spring lamb. It’s preity scarce because it's so | popular, so be sure you can trust your butcher. Otherwise he may try to sell you spring lamb, good in its own way, but not the same as baby lamb. Be firm in the cause of astounding tenderness. A whole baby lamb will not weigh | more than 20 to 22 pounds, and one |leg will weigh about four pounds. | These are from lambkins not more [than 5 to 6 weeks old, and being | scarce at Easter time, and also one (of the most delectable of the | spring's blessings, cost plenty. But | remember, every mouthful will con{vince you that it is cheap at any | price.

A Eulogy of Lamb

Odd as it may seem, a ruddy, | stern looking restauranteur in New | York is probably the all-American | expert on baby lamb. Billy the | Oyster Man speaks with emotion. | “The dish outshines all others for | Easter popularity. The shoulder of { baby lamb is delicious, but because |it has a great deal of bone, per= | haps you'd better use the leg for | your family. For a family of from | six to eight,” l:e says, “I'd advise a | brace of baby lamb legs. That's not. | too much, because there is some | shrinking in cooking. His subject gentle, his manner | brisk, he continues: “There is only |one way to cook it and that is to | roast it in the pan. Surround it with new potatoes (new ones from Cuba are in the market). I myself don’t mind seeing a little pink in the meat to prove it is not too thoroughly cooked, but some people object to this, so the state of ‘done-ness’ will depend on the taste of your family.”

Roast Leg of Genuine Baby Lamb (6 to 8 servings)

Two 4-pound legs of baby lamb, 1 carrot, 1 onion, salt, pepper. Seascn legs, which usually come with a wrapping of suet around them, place in roasting pan with small quantity of water, carrot and onion, and of course the new potatoes. The carrot and onion take away the natural wild flavor and they add | flavor to the gravy. If you prefer, they can be removed after the lamb is cooked. Place lamb in hot oven (375 to 400 degrees F.) and cook 1 | hour, basting well and turning every 15 minutes. Remove lamb and potatoes, place roasting pan over flame, add 1 tablespoon flour and bring to boil. Strain gravy in sepa=- | rate hot bowl. From then on Happy | Easter!
