JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN-I am a high sehioo! git] writing about my
older sister who is 17.
She is a highly strung ereatura with an ar-
tistic temperament, and a career girl whose most romantic dreams
are to become. some dav in her ow
\ Wav. another Jenny Lind. My
sister has a voice to compare with voung cognae, which must be aged
to become enriched.
My parents sent her to New Vork to study under a master and
while there she met a man old enou herself to be in love. Now that she
her daily the most bone-chilling foolishness.
ol to He her father and believes is home for Christinas he writes My father has (hreat-
ened not to let her go back. Mother always enriched her knowledge that she might never lose her way in life, and it is heartbreaking to, see my sister toss this wisdom to the wind.
On her way home, she met an 18-
she also feels in love. If she could
vear-old college man with whom get interested in this youth she
might see the old blood that is clotting in the veins of her New York
admirer, However, what
stands beyond all is her career,
She is
blinded now by {hese shadows of lave, but if only we can take her off this side track and get her started ones more on her road to glory,
which is what she really wants, a

Answer You are only partly right, and that is in your estimate of your sister's elderly suitor who ought to devote himself to women of his own age instead of making love to a 17-year-old school girl, Since she fell temporarily in love with a young college man, we can assume that her interest in the older man is fairly shallow, and that her vanity is tonehed by his attentions more than her heart,
My guess is that your family is t expects more from her than she ea
oo ambitious for your sister, and n deliver, Of course she would
like to be a Jenny Lind and is intrigued in fancy by all the acelaim
she would receive as a great singer,
work and self-sacrifice involved in re weakens, then,
But when she faces the hard aching such a goal, her ambition
At 17 a git] eraves an irresponsible good time now and Her interest in men is an important part of her development,
and she ecannet. and should not. set it acide entirely in favor of a
career. The attempt to da so is wh
at has made her an easy vietim
for the first fatterer to eross her path,
She is obliged to face the fact t
hat her parents have invested a
tot of money in her career. and their ambition for her becomes burs
densome. She doesn't feel
nal to MulAlling their silent expectations,
A man who sees her only as a desirable girl instead of a potential
ginger, comes as a relief
T believe your parents would be wise to place her in a school where there is ample opportunity for the good times normal to her vears and let her continue voice instructions under less pressure to
sueceed, If she has the will to wor she will do so under her own initial the necessity to fulfill her parents
x to Mill her own lofty ideals, ve. What she should not feel is ambitions for her JANE JORDAN,
