WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21, 1940 JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN--I am & young have been going with a young man 15 .ye deeply in love with him and he seems to be there is too much difference in our ages. I if I have to give him up. He threats me just grand, gets nice presents for me and shows me a good time. What should I do? Continue to go with him? He doesn’t even suggest such a thing as quitting. Or should I ask him to make a decision. . : BEWILDERED. : Answer: The trouble is that you want to get married and he doesn’t. Or at least he thinks he doesn’t. Very few men have ‘any idea of getting married in the beginning of 8 love affair. It is simply that if the girl becomes necessary to a man’s happiness in life, he will marry her to keep somebody else from getting her. A man usually is surprised to find himself in such a state of mind whereas the girl usually knew what she wanted from the start. Now you can’t p to the man. If you demand a decision the chances mre that it will be no. A much subtler method is for you not to be so insistent upon marriage and to interest yourself in other men also. A man who has reached the age of 35 without marrying has a fairly high resistance. A woman would have to be an extremely satisfactory partner to make him feel that no other girl would do just as well. Doubtless this man has ducked out of many situations where the girl was bent on getting married. If you try the same trick he will duck out again. Don’t surrender in such whole-hearted fashion. Give fish ; something to work for, As it is he has no competition to worry .

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a high school girl in my early teens. I have fallen desperately in love with a boy of my age in school. He is very bashful and never has asked me for a date. He has no car and he may feel that I would not go with him unless he had a car. How can I make him feel that this does not matter? . His boy friend tells me that he talks of no one but me, and he meets me after school. I know he likes me well enough and I cere tainly am fond of him. Can I do anything that might give him confidence enough in himself to ask me for a date?

Answer—Your mutual friend ought to be ‘able to help you. You can tell the gobetween that you would like to have a date with the boy. What could be more encouraging? When you meet the young man after school you can bring up the subject of cars in a general way and tell him that you think girls are crazy to date a car ine stead of a boy. . The chances are that he has no money to spend on dates, Ine vite him to came over sometime and spend the evening. If he doesn’t respond to your friendliness, there is nothing you can do but look for someone with more spunk. JANE JORDAN, *

CHILDREN

WHAT INSTITUTION DOES MOST for turning our good citizens? > A. Church? B. Home? C. School? D. Government? : L As all character goes back to childhood and early influences, we might think of these four primary factors as they affect children only. It won't be easy to reach a conclusion because it is only opinion against opinion, after all. But I should like to have my say. ‘We cannot do without government, and we’d be badly off without schools. Church and religion should come first, and yet I am not putting them first, not yet. I chose “home” as the most powerful influence in forming character and keeping alive the fundamentals of good citizenship in children. But this home I speak of must be the normal, natural center of family life, not an artificial makeshift that divides its members and sets up indifference and antagonisms. It must have papa and mama and the children, each doing his bit, learning his loyalties and feeling bound to help along. This home should teach religion, active religion, based on serve ice and love and mental peace. Children get their instruction in Sungay 7 School: At home they must put into practice the lessons y le

- By OLIVE BARTON,

RIGHT NOW, DICTATORS WHO have replaced right with might, fearing their power threatened by the religious conscience of their subjects, have found it convenient to set up education and government at the expense of religion. And even the home must give way when that home stands as a barrier to power. - Let us, then, make up our minds that we are going to do two things. One, to keep family life as it is, a close unit of warm relationships; the other to cling with all that’s in us to the inspirational teachings of our church. : I cannot see anything but destruction any other way for our children or their children unless we take this stand. And I suspect that our school system has lacked one essential as it grew. It has failed, largely, to develop a spiritual maturity. There is more to education than mere erudition.

Nine out of ten of Hollywood's new, spring hats have veils. Pert Jane Wyman'’s new topper (left), has a nose-length veil of nayy blue fishnet. The hat is a cushion-brimmed sailor of natural straw braid, made tall with a gay red cockade of pinked-edge grosgrain ribbon. Lucile Fairbanks (right) makes hat news by wearing a Panama in February. A tailored bow finishes it at back, and the postilion crown is |

draped with coarse black fishnet,

By LUCIE NEVILLE HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 21 (NEA), When the new spring hats first appeared, we took some around the movie sets to get actor-reactions.

Here's what they said about the bonnets: “Well, suppose these things must be hats, because women wear them on their heads.” “Priscilla Lane just told me that hats are beautiful this year, so I guess they are. At least, these are little, and I like hats that don’t cover too much of a pretty face.” “Hmph! Looks like a pagoda. I thought you said hats were ‘sane’ this spring—you mean as sane as women’s millinery goes?” : Unanimously, they cheered for snoods’ going out of style. : These commentators asked to be nameless. - Last time, that as ace tors, they voiced opinions on femninine headgear, they got = kicks from fans, millinery manufacturers, and their own wives, Hollywood actresses, though, think the new hats are lovely. And sane. Bett, Davis has bought nearly every model that was shown her for fashion pictures. “One pet is a tall turban of mus-tard-gold crepe, its crown a swirl of folds, curled like a fancy pat of butter, with a yard and a half of brown net veiling trim. Another she likes is a postilion hat of starched white pique, ‘stitched in navy, with a back wing-bow of blue grosgrain. Priscilla Lane, who Is getting as clothes-conscious as sister Rosemary, was capfivated by a pow-der-blue straw, veiled in cerise and trimmed with two very reallooking pink roses at the side of its high crown. ¢ f J o ”

IN SPITE OF THE DOUR MALE comments on hats, the 1940 spring models are less bizarre. Snoods have gone back to their proper place as glorified hairnets; minus hats, they are quite a high-school fad now, replacing bandannas. © Military styles don’t seem to have caught on in Movietown. The Algerian draperies that protected star-necks from winter winds are out of fashion. Pleasing to most men, including Hollywood actors, are the veils seen on nine out of 10 hats. Crisp sheers, /coarse horsehairs and fine soft nets swathe everything, in clouds of navy, cerise, purple and robin’s-egg blue. Bright red, another masculine favorite, is a top color in the straws, and typically spring shades such as lavender, pink and powder blue are being worn with the first spring coats of gray and beige, “Follow me, young man” streamers flutter down the back of wide-

brimmed sailors, or are looped up

and caught inside the crown. Foolish, buf - exactly right for the frilly-bosomed Gibson - Girl

"PATTERN 997 TRIM SHIRTFROCK WITH ACTION-BACK ‘Here’s an action-ready dress,

grand for driving a car or driving a golf club. Claire Tilden’s Pattern

997 is the perfect companion for

every hour of a busy lady's day. Don’t you love its clean-cut simplicity? Turning to the back first, see the all-across yoke that holds smooth the wonderful fullness. Tucks at the waistline keep the bloused lines of the bodice in place to avoid a top-heavy silhouette. And more darts below the front yoke, which comes in one piece from the back, hold in the unusual softness

through the bustline. You can slip into this frock with the greatest of

ease, for it opens in front to below |

the waist. The collar is youthfully styled and very carefree; the sleeves are long and tailored or short, perhaps with neat cuffs. Why not use big novelty buttons to match the belt buckle? As to fabrics, you might have the top in contrast to the skirt, making both of, say, vivid cotton or silk. Or have the whole frock in a becoming tie-print.

Pattern 997 is cut in misses’ and

women’s sizes 14, 16, 18, 20, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42. Size 16 requires 3% yards 39-inch fabric. Send orders to Pattern Department, In lis Times, 214 W. Maryland St. Send fifteen cents (15¢) in coins for this pattern. Write clearly size, name, address and style number.
