| JANE JORDAN
: DEAR JANE JORDAN—I wrote to you about a week ago. I am 5 the girl who asked what to do about my future mother-in-law. My boy friend is in college and his mother is against me because I have neither money or social position. You fold me to wait until John is of age, Last week when he came home for his Thanksgiving vaca- ° tion, he broke engagement, telling me that we would not be able to marry for two years and he felt he wag being unfair to ask me fo sit around uy wait Wat Jong for him. I know that his mother 1as pu up , yet he re meant it thought h doing it for the best. i y a tous 2 Yu: ‘Since his folks practically have forbidden him to see me, we decided to have other dates and see each other about half ag much as we have been, and if in two years we still want to marry. we will do so without the permission of:-his mother. I shall be waiting and will love him just as much then as I do now, but I am worried as fo what will happen if he starts having dates at college. Was I wise in taking this action or should I try to forget him and save mysel' more heartbreak at the end of his college career? Do you think an engagement can survive under these circumstances with him at college? . He is a very jealous person. Should-I have other dates and give him competition even though I do not want them? ; HEARTBROKEN,
2 2 =» *® 8&8 =
+ Answer—It is extremely doubtful that your attachment will survive under these circumstances. I do not call it an engagement be,gause -Jour engagement is broken. He is not the first young man - who has given up his home town girl after he went to college and met new talent. If is a quite usual occurrence, even with pressure ° ~ {rom the parents. While I do not doubt that the young man’s mother pulled against you, the tact still remains that he might have come to the same conclusion without her prompting. : Girls, as a rule, take their earlv love affairs much more sériously than boys. In the flush of youth gnd t love the young man proto you without having the wheréwithal to back it up. In cola boy begins to take.a more mature and responsible attitude toward engagement and marriage. He questions the wisdom of tying _ himself down so early and renouncing the carefree good times he : t have as an unengaged man at college. The gir] he left bed him doesnt seem quite so irresistible as she did before. 1I po these things because it is quite possible that the young man
1 be using his mother as an alibi for a decision which he would ve reached independently in any case. © Of course, the thing you should do is to have other dates since this is the course which you both agreed upon, and this is what he ill do regardless of your behavior. Sometimes, to' be sure, a young 1 is replace. the home town girl. His new dates do not ne up to what she represented. However, I should not count on at were you, but proceed exactly as if everything was : great disappointment I know, but it can be survived. eve me he'll respect you more for your ability to make a new pment. Possibly he will be jealous. But if you mope and wait,
a burden on his conscience and he'll avoid you because you feel'like a heel. ~~ : JANE JORDAN.
