ispects Help in Writing Letter on Mother’s Troubles.

Put your problems in a letter fo Jane jrdan, who will answer your questions this column each day. ?

EAR JANE JORDAN— "Do you allow little girls’ letters to come? Excuse me for bothering big folks with my troubles, but I have a relative who slurs me and tells everybody in our world that I am 8 bag girl and they should not play with me. She is a near relative of my mother’s. My mother says to pay no attention to her and not to

talk back as that would be bad, 1

My father is an invalid and my mother works night and day to keep me dressed, fed and looking nice.

I know my mother is good. When she gets through work she lights a holy candle and reads the prayer book. She does not go anywhere only to church but this relative says she does, just the same. She slurs us because we have to live in rooms. We have nobody to advise us, no one to care. Mother never had a vacation in her life and I've only had one. Should I fight back with this mean-tongued relative who has nothing to do but tell untruths on mother and me or should I not say anything. My daddy will never get well to fight her and my mother won't fight her. Am I a sissy for writing. = & : & A POOR LITTLE GIRL OF 11. ANSWER—Are you sure you wrote this letter yourself or did your mother write it for you? I say this because it is unsual for a child of 11 to be so concerned about gossiping tongues. Of course, it is bound to hurt if someone tells people not to play with you because you're bad, when you know you're not, but who had the nerve to tell you what your rejative said about your mother? What business has a child of 11 to be bothered with the squabbles of grown-ups? . Make up your mind that it is none of your business and that there is nothing you can do about it anyway. A girl of 11 is no match for a grown woman and should not be expected to fight her mother’s battles. You have no responsibility in the matter other than to-give your relative no cause for calling you bad, ‘If I were your mother I simply would take rooms in some other part of town as far away from my tormenter as possible. I would lead a quiet and’ dignified life and completely ignore the unkind gossip. I would protect my daughter from all knowledge of my troubles and try hard not to feel too sorry for myself. If in doubt about what to do I would confide in a priest instead of my daughter. : } » » Dear Jane Jordan—I am 17 years old and have been going

with a young man for six months.

He was 21 years old his last birthday. My mother disapproves of him because she thinks he is topo old for me. She told me she was going to stop his coming to see me and yet she seems to like him. This young man got into some trouble with another girl before I met him. It was taken to court and he preved that he was not guilty. Later it was discovered that it was all a fake to get money from his parents. My mother holds this against him. "I love this boy dearly. He has asked me to marry him, but I don’t intend to until we finish college. Is there anyway that I can make my mother change her mind? I hate going with someone she doesn’t approve of, but I hate to give him ‘up, because I love him. PUZZLED.

ANSWER—I can understand -how your mother might like the young an well enough, yet be afraid for im to go with you because of the dark spot ow his reputation. Granted that he was framed, what was he doing with a girl of that character in the first place? Of course, the young man may have learned the lesson of his life, but he will have to prove it to. your mother before she trusts her. daughter with him. It is his problem, isn’t it? Let him be the one to handle your mother. If he is perfectly sincere, and your mother open-minded, there is no doubt but that he can live the story

down and win her confiedence. ; . JANE JORDAN,

Contract Problem (Solution in next issue)

Solution to Previous Problem By W. E. McKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary T is a fundamental principle of good dummy play to adopt a tentative plan which, if it fails, still leaves another line of play by which the hand may be made. This is just another way of saying that it is unwise to put all your eggs in one basket. : North bid his hand correctly. An immediate jump to four spades would have discouraged South, but North’s jump to game after showing a diamond suit, encourages South to look further. His five heart bid, of course, merely a cue bid, and North, by bidding six diamonds, in-vited-the six spade bid. When the opening lead was made it was plain to South that the slam was in, if East held the club ace, as one ruff could not be prevented. He won the first trick in dummy and ied the club, but the king lost to Wesgs ‘ace. Another trump : See

South could try the diamond finesse, an even chance only. However, he next ran the three high hearts, and discarded a low diamond. Now the king and ace of diamonds were cashed and a low diamond ruffed in the closed hand. Dummy was now put in the lead with the spade, and the losing clubs were discarded on dummy’s long diamonds. Declarer's first chance to make his slam by ruffing two clubs had been eliminated by the opening lead. The “wrong” player held the club ace, but the declarer still had a shot left, and

brought home the game by his

Sturdy Dishes And Not Kisses

. Are Proposed

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

Children running in at noon from school need more than a mother’s Kiss. They need also one sturdy main dish with a glass of milk or else 3 cream soup. Stewed fruit makes the ideal dessert, or fresh fruit such as bananas and oranges combined fill the bill equally well.

; Scalloped Eggs (4 to 6 servings) Three tablespoons butter, 8 eggs, 1, cub bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1, teaspoon pepper, 3 cups milk. Grease a baking dish and place first a layer of crumbs, then a layer of slices of hard boiled eggs. Put bits of butter around and season, and a layer of crumbs and continue until dish is full. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for about 20 minutes. . Baked Split Peas (4 to 6 servings) Two cups split peas, 2 cups boiled rice, 2 cups canned tomatoes, 2 onion, % cup bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 cup American cheese. Soak peas overnight, boil and drain. Put soaked ‘peas, rice, tomatoes and grated onion in layers in a casserole dish.

Many welldressed women find it an excellent material for some of the separate jackets that are so important in fall wardrobes. : The newer corduroys come in many new solid colors, both subtle and bright. New patterns, including many interesting plaids, checks, oversquares and indefinite tweedy effects are now available, and there is a choice of wales from very coarse to ribs so fine as to give the fabric the “handle” of velvet.

Often Is Cause of Bad Temper

Weather, Diet and Time Of Day Can Influence Child’s Disposition.

By OLIVE REBERTS BARTON A child's disposition depends largely upon his health. : That is why the baby has frete ful days, and the older children go haywire and won't do what they are told. : Many things affect health, so the

‘mother with a perpetually cross

family might do a little thinking. Is it heat? This hardly needs an answer. Certainly heat upsets met-. abolism' and faulty digestion or nervousness induced by too strong sun rays, or temperature, affects the most genial of us all. Look to the day before also. Has Betty been nibbling at peanuts and candy all day? Or did something keep her up till all hours? She need not run a temperature to be out of sorts. The body often carries on as

‘usual without external symptoms of

an upset, to a .degree. This accounts often for the unaccountable, the off days when Old Nick himself seems to have gotten into the children. Overstimulation

We wonder, when we have taken Betty or Bobby to town on a pere fectly swell day’s outing, why they repay us by getting mean and whimpery on the way home. Of all

times this is one when they should be thanking us and showing their gratitude, yet- “this is the day they give grudges away with a half a pound of tea.” Children never behave well after too much excitement. We may as well expect the sun to rise at evening as to think the children will be happy and normal after a spree, One other time is a favorite for the imp of mischief to thumb his nose at our confusion. This is 5 o'clock of an afternoon, almost any afternoon. Five o'clock, of course, for the small fry. An hour or two later for the older ones. When baby is sleepy he is cross. When Betty, or Bobby or the twins are cross, half the time it is because they are sleepy or tired, although they may not show it and will protest they are no such thing. The Balky Time

What a pity it is that daddies see more of their children at this tag end of the day than at almost any other time of the week. Al most invariably the youngsters are ready to bawl or get balky at the drop of a hat by the time he opens the door. Rather than let him get the wrong birds-eye view of his nice family’s disposition, I would put them all to bed early, even before the family dinner hour, with a light but noure ishing supper of their own. This keeps up a reputation with father, even though the children themselves may protest. Half the tired paters of the land dread the nightly scene at the table and decide that their youngsters are not worth work ing for. ; ~ Keep a long eye on the causes of indisposition. Figure what it is that sours otherwise sunny souls at certain times. Too tired? Upset tummies? Nerves gone? Once we know, it is easier to avoid further trouble, and not blame it on the general cussedness of little boys and girls who are no better or stronger than their bodies.
