DEAR JANE JORDAN—I [ am a fellow in my early 920s. Due to the character of the profession I chose land the difficulty of finding Imy ideal of a mate, I decreed lthat I would refrain from thinking lon the subject of matrimony for several years, or until I could care for a mate as I think she should be
cared for. : In January I fortunately met a
young lady whose physical, moral |
and intellectual beauty was so admirable that my heart was set on fire and put to burning with adoration. So far I find her even more perfect and desirable than I supposed. She is my ideal of a lady. She has a friend residing outside the state but she says that his existence will not by my means preclude the progress of our relations. But the great obstacle is that she is seven years or more my senior—a fact which she was fair enough to disclose to me in the early part of our acquaintance. Yet there is no apparent incongruity whatever because of this difference. We do not feel that there is any harm in spending our happy moments together and we feel that persons similarly situated should be ready, willing and able to give vent to the inevitable onrush of true love. The natural law seems to be against us. No mortal can alter it. Yet I fear that the “tender grace of a boy that is allowed to die” will never come back to me. What would you do? - GRAND BETE.

ANSWER—A difference in ages is not an impossible barrier to overcome. It is simply a hazard which trips the majority. The difference is not noticed so much at first. Women do not age as rapidly as they did when hard work and popular opinion put them on the shelf at 30. It is in the latter years when the elderly woman's fires wane first that danger ‘arises. One difficulty apt to come up is her jealousy of her younger hus- - band. Her fear that he will find a girl to replace her makes her watchful and suspicious. Sometimes it leads to a sacrifice of her dignity in the effort to look and act like a girl. Even under fa_vorable circumstances it is difficult to part with youth gracefully. The strain of keeping up with a young husband sometimes is destructive to peace of mind. It is noteworthy that an emotionally or financially timid man appears to be most susceptible to the charms of older women. We find him avoiding the modern girl with her demands for an expensive establishment. Her requirements are too high for him to reach. If his isolation is-broken by an understanding older woman who does not expect so. much of him, who makes allowances for his youth, who believes in
his powers, his fears subside in the
warmth of her approval. She represents less risk.’ The trouble is that after a few years with her he often gains in self-confidence and begins to regret lost adventure. His dissatisfaction may cause him to pick flaws in his mature companion. | He wants to start over but dreads the havoc it will raise in the life of the woman who was once his comfort. These dangers are ahead of you if you have the foresight to recognize them. Love has a way of concealing all critical judgment so that it will be difficult if not impossible for you to imagine future conflicts now. All I can do is to point out certain facts gleamed from the experience of others. The decision is
up to you.

Solution tp Previous Problem By WM. E. M'KENNEY
American Bridge League Secretary WITTY bridge player once remarked: “Every bridge player should learn the principle of finessing—and then more than half the time forget all about it.” It must be admitted that, with an
ace-queen combination in one hand and the lead in the other, the temtation to capture the adversely held king is very strong, so strong indeed that most players yield to it automatically. There are many situations, however, where to finesse is to lose, or at best leave a second guess, as a study of the cards, and equally a study of the probabilities without the cards quickly disclose. With North responded to South's cpening bid .with one spade, the magnificent fit of the hands was at once disclosed. South's bid of three hearts showed a fit in spades and asked for further information. The diamond bid also was a cue bid. The opening lead of the heart
was won with the ace. North the d a trump from dummy, and, as he had mastered the principle
of the finesse, he went right up with the ace and dropped the singleton king. Dropping the king was a piece of luck, but playing the ace was a matter of exact knowledge. This saved the declarer from making two guesses in. the trump suit, and guaranteed that, wherever the trumps were located, he would not lose more than one trick in the suit, unless East held three trumps

Girls Need Active Life As Boys Do
Parents’ Duty Is to Help Them Find Friends, Writer Holds.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON When a boy won't go out and mix with the gang, his parents begin to worry and fuss. But when a girl turns pussy-cat and becomes a regular Polly-Sit-by-the-Fire, no one ever bothers about it. It isn't a good thing for growing girls to turn reciuse. They are
far better off for having cogenial friends with the same interests. A
mixture is good, because it is affirmed by those who have gone into
‘the matter deeply that attitudes of
both sexes are improved in future relationships if first approached in the group ‘that skates, or sledrides or picnics together, or even purloins hats or splashes mud. The roughage of the group is good for the soul, as well as its courtesy and sportsmanship and loyalties. . But barring the boys, because it is not every girl who takes kindly to the mixed crowd, she needs company. It isn’t good for her to:
turn in on herself and settle down |
to her parents’ routine alone. Age Creates Barriers
Once in awhile I get letters from mothers who realize this and ask for advice. As there as so many possible reasons for the “detached” child, I think it best to list some of them. Then other mothers may be able to decide where the trouble lies, if they, too, have one who prefers her own company. Sometimes it happens that Bessie—let us call her—is younger than her schoolmates. Younger, too, than her close neighbors. If so, she will not be welcomed by the rest. If she has been kept back by removal or illness, her place in school may be a torture to her. She will make no effort at friendliness herself, feeling sensitive as she does about the discrepancy. Size May Handicap Her Sometimes size counts too. If she has grown faster than the rest, she may think they do not want her. Of if she has a more mature age, she may be inclined to spurn the friendship of “those babies” as she calls them. J : Perhaps the family has ambitions to live in a newer and better neighborhood. The local children may unbend and welcome her, but this has to be a fifty-fifty business, and Bessie will have to go half way. If she feels a misfit in her new surroundings, she won't make the effort. Then all is lost.
Lacks Bond at School
The same is true of the school. The one she attends may not lay much stress on democracy. If Bessie feels that she is unequal to holding her own in this rare atmosphere, again she will fail to make social contacts. She will be “in” the school but not “of” it. While it is natural for parents to want to improve their children’s chances for the future, to put the burden on them alone is just a bit cruel sometimes.
Third, perhaps Elizabeth is one |’
of life’s natural ‘escapers,” and prefers to live vicariously through books, sleep, movies and such. If this is the case, has any attempt been made to get her interested in something that will undermine her inertia and show her that real experience 1s far more enjoyable than dreams? Perhaps she has acquired the liking because her parents veto everything normal on the grounds that “ladies should stay at home and be good little girls.” So often this results in friendlessness. Every girl should have some friends. (Copyright. 1937. NEA Service, Inc.) re

Blood Often . Normalized
Cautions Are Suggested For Persons Whose Count Is High.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor American Medical Association Journal.
: To control high blood pressure § | and permit the sufferer to live as
long ag possible, certain measures are desirable:
First, the various possible causes of the condition must be investigated and removed or controlled if possible. If there are infections in the tonsils, the teeth, the gallbladder or the genito-urinary tract, ii raust be brought under conol. Secorid, the burden on the tissues concerned, such as the blood vessels, the heart or the kidneys, must be removed or lightened as much as possible. . Third, because of the importance of rest in controlling this condition, it is well to have an analysis of the habits of the person affected ‘as related to work, sleep, exercise, diet, worry and similar factors. The observance of a good hygiene of living will do a great deal to help,
Rest Is Advised
Fourth, if a person with high blood pressure is surrounded by other people who regularly affect his blood pressure badly, it may be necessary for him to be removed for a rest cure to a sanatorium or resort or to some place where the disturbing and blood pressure stimu lating factor is not present. If the problem is one of financial worry, the difficulty is, of course, a special problem. One doctor has advised that patients with high blood pressure spend a week-end every month at home .in bed.
Diet Needs Watching
The diet for the person with high blood pressure should be a well
