JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 16. Last summer I met a boy of 19. He is studying to be a minister and had a church all last summer in a small town. He was jealous of another boy and at last we broke up. Now the other boy has faded out of the picture and the minister has written me, wanting to go steady with him. I have two brothers and they have many fine boy friends . Of course some of the boys who come to our house like me and ask me for dates. They are all just friends, nothing serious on their part or mine, but I go out with them and have a good time. The boy who wants me to go steady with him is a dictator and
” wants me to stay at home except when he says I can go-out. I think the world of him but I can’t stand to be bossed around. 'My mother
wants me to give him up and my brother says I am too young to have
a steady boy friend, and does not like the boy who tries to dictate
to me. The minister called me on the phone a few days ago and became angry because I had a. date with a friend of my brother's, He has not written to me since. Should I write him or wait for him to write me? Should I go out with other boys and forget about going steady until I am older? UNDECIDED JOAN.
- Answer—Let the boy write first, of course. When and if he does, make it clear to him that you have no intention of giving up all your other friends for him. Your family is right. You are too young to
tie yourself down to one boy. Now is the time for you to circulate
among the young people in your group and gather a background of experience which will stand you in good stead when you come to make a final choice, You know that this young man has qualities which you do not like. He is domineering and jealous. He wants everything his own way and dislikes competition. His desire to rule may make him a difficlut person to live with unless he learns ‘to regard the wishes and viewpoints of others with more tolerance. “.. Instinctively you know this but you aren't old enough to trust your own judgment It is obvious that you do not wish to be dominated by this young man although his wish to possess you exclusively is somewhat flattering to you. You have written for moral support in opposing his will and I trust you have received it. » = ” # ” ” ” DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 14 and a freshman in high school. My mother has been dead for two years and I keep house for my father. We have a neighbor who has a daughter about my age. At first I thought she was a girl I could pal with, but I have found qut that her character is not what it should be and I want to break away from her. My father does not think it would be right to let her down all at once because her parents have been good to us. He wants me to break away gradually but I don’t seem to have much luck.” I have given her all kinds of hints, but she does not take them. How can I get loose from her? She is ruining my reputation and I have found a real pal with a good character. TROUBLED. Answer—If you avoid the girl consistently, eventually she will look for another friend. For her parent's sake you can treat her kindly, but you need not include her in your plans. JANE JORDAN.

BEAUTY
“THAT THIN-AS-A-CIGARET silhouette may be a source of envy to women who have to fight againgt extra poundage. But worrying about being too thin is no more fun than being Gverweight.” _ So says Frances Langford, half-pint singing star of the radio and screen, who weighs less than 100 pounds and would like to weigh about 108. She’s 5 feet 4 inches tall. “There are tricks of dress to camouflage thin spots and angles, of course,” the little star continues. “However, I think it’s better for an exceptionally thin woman to resolve to take on a few pounds than to be content with camouflage season after season.” » 2 = 8.8 » . MISS LANGFORD went on to explain that her own doctor advises ‘her to add more high calorie foods to her diet—butter, cream, olive oil, for instance. And to avoid physical activity that burns up
surplus fat. The radio star drinks a glass of whole milk between meals and
before going to bed, adds more cream to her coffee in the morning, tries to eat cereal as well as buttered toast. For lunch and dinner she takes her extra fats in the form of extra portions of butter, puddings made with cream and eggs, liberal amounts of salad dressings. She tries to sleep at least nine hours every night and to manage a shor: nap during the daytime. She avoids standing for great lengths of time, just as she avoids exercise of all types. «As for detail of dress to cover up hollows and prominent bones while she is trying to gain weight, the thin woman ought to choose horizontal lines in preference to vertical ones; such things as bulky, deep-pile, dull-surfaced fabrics; light colors; bouffant skirts; fullgathered sleeves, fluffy necklines; boleros; softly crushed, wide belts; peplums,” Miss Langford: concluded.

QUESTION BOX
Q—What are the different classes of dressed chickens?
A—They very somewhat in different sections, but usually they are classed as broilers, fryers, roasters, fowl, stags, capons and old cocks or roosters. The broilers are young chickens weighing up to about 2% pounds. Fryers are the next size of young chickens weighing between 215, and 3'2 pounds. Roasting chickens are generally young males weighing 4 pounds or over. Stags are young male chickens which have begun to get hard meat and stringy, and take on the characteristics of cock birds. Capons are males which have been unsexed in order to keep the meat soft, and which are usually grown to rather large size and heavy weight. Fowls, as known in the poultry trade, are mature hens. The mature male birds are called old cocks or roosters.
Q—What kinds of sweets may I.
