JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—Several weeks ago my flancee broke our engagement. She named several incidents which made me quite ashamed of myself and I tried to make up by sending her flowers or candy almonds every week-end. I thought that I was treated shabbily, She gave me about one out of every three dates that I asked for, broke dates at the last minute and seemed quite unstable, One minute she would tell me that she wished she could go away from me and an hour later she would tell me that I was so sweet and kind she didn’t know what she would do if we really separated. Last week-end was the anniversary of our engagement, I strove to make it the perfect week-end. I consulted an aunt of my girl's who supposedly was my friend. I made the mistake of confiding in the aunt about the way my girl had acted, and she talked like she was quite disgusted with her, The week-end was ‘perfect success. My girl said that she had not had a more enjoyable time in her life. She accepted dates with me for the next three weeks. I thanked her aunt for her help and she asked me what the week-end had cost me. I replied that it had cost slightly over $20, but since I had spent very little money on my girl, it was worth $20 to see her have such a perfect week-end. I went to see her the next Tuesday evening. She would not let me in the house. She said, “I am sorry last week-end

was s0 expensive for you.” She reiterated the things I had told her

aunt only they were distorted. She said her family was very bitter against me, and she thought it best for us not to see éach other for a month, If I see her at the end of the month, how should I act? Should I ask to see her as soon as the month is up or wait until she invites me? I still love her and feel that she loves me. BOB. ” = ”

Answer—I am afraid that T don’t know any more about the intricacies of this young lady's emotions than you do. All I know is that she is highly inconsistent, blows hot and cold for no obvious reason, and easily is swayed by other people's opinions. I do think that when a young man finds himself enchanted by so unreliable a young woman that he should ask himself a few pertinent questions. What is there within yourself that allows you to put up with such treatment? Why do you accept the blame for each upheaval when actually you don’t see where you are. at fault? Would ngt a stronger man have walked out on the girl when first she broke the engagement? Consider the incident brought about by the aunt. You knew that both women have exaggerated what happened, misinterpreted motives and precipitated an unnecessary crisis. The average min would run - for his life when the women about him show such genius for causing trouble. You've been banished for a month like a small boy shut up in a closet until he promised to be good. Yet you aren’t angry. Youre just hurt and bewildered. I can’t tell you whether you should call the girl up at the end of the month or not. But 1 do think you should burn the month up looking the other girls over. No matter what you do in the end there is nothing to prevent your having a dandy time this month with giris who don’t consign you to the dog house so readily. At the end of the

month you may not want to go back. Who knows?

THE QUESTION BOX

Q—How may fruit stains be removed from cottons and linens? A—If treated when fresh, pour boiling water from a height through the stain. If the stains are old, or the material has been laundered, they may be bleached with Javelle water, or with potassium permanganate and oxalic acid.

Q—Should meringues be baked in & slow or hot oven? A—The best meringues are baked in an oven so slowly that 15 or 20 minutes are required to brown them.

Q—How may vy I re remove chewing Bum from materials? . A—Scrape off as much of the gum as possible, then sponge with carbon tetrechloride. Or scrape off the gum, then soak the spot in kerosene, and finally wash it in hot suds.

_ Q—ifow are Crepes Suzette made? A—Mix together 1 cup flour, % powdered sugar and % teaspoon t; add 1 cup milk and stir until ectly smooth. Add 2 eggs, beaten thoroughly and grated rind of % lémon. Cook in small frying pan,

lightly greased. Roll each pancake and reheat in following sauce: Cream 2% cup butter, beat in 1% cup powdered. sugar, and add grated rind and juice of an orange, 2 tablespoons of rum or brandy and 2 tablespoons of benedictine.

Q—How should asparagus be cooked to avoid overcooking the tips? A—Tie it in bunches with a soft string, and cook it standing upright in a deep sauce pan. The water should come about two-thirds of the way to the tips, which should be cooked by the steam alone. Cook until tender but not soft.

Q—Is there anything I can use to prevent the surface design from wearing off my new printing linoleum? A—Use a coat of spar varnish or liquid bakelite. As these tend to darken the floor covering, many persons prefer to use clear linoleum varnish, which dries more quickly but also wears off more quickly.

place. : Music With Perfume

A tiny Swiss chalet, which is also a nice old-time music box, contains four amusing bottles of perfume. As

the music plays, the bottles whirl around, each pausing for a second or two in the doorway of the chalet. There are bottles with charming little blown glass figures as well as perfume inside the bottles. There are Christmas bells containing perfume. Toilet water and cologne are done up in de luxe containers. A heady scent in a clear glass cylinder has a large top covered wih velvet that simulates leopard skin. A frosted glass decanter holds more than a pint of scented cologne. Four small bottles of de luxe toilet water are packed together in a blue velvet box which may be used as a jewel case when the bottles are

empty. Compacts Are Thinner

There’s a wide variety of compacts from which to pick and choose. They seem to get thinner and thinner as well as prettier and prettier. The clasp of one perfect beauty is a slender lipstick. Another has a special compartment for a lipstick just behind the well for powder. There are handpainted and other interestingly decorated types as well as perfectly simple models with space for monogramming. New bath sets range from little stocking items (such as a round cake of soap atop a cyinder of bath powder) to a super-super sef, filed with soap, dusting powder, cologne, bath salts and bath oil—all in matching scent, of course. A decorative replica of an oldfashioned hob-nail glass bottle comes tucked away in a huge, three-pound tub of bath salts. Take out the bottle, fill it with the scoop-shaped

Both bath salts and dusting powder come in large glisteningly white “snowball” packages. Victorian dresser sets are brand new. The company which unearthed old hand-made molds of brushes, combs and mirrors is turning the sets out in modern plastics.
