JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—About a month ago I wrote to you asking advice about a boy with whom I had gone steady for eight months and whose father (so I thought) had caused our separation. You advised me to find new interests and to forget him. At first I didn’t see how I could, but found that this was exactly the thing to do. Now, for the first time in three months I am happy. I have found a better boy. The real reason for our split-up was that the boy had lost interest in me for the last few months we went together and used his father’s objection as an excuse. I don’t believe that girls of 16 should go with boys of the same age because they are too young to know what they are saying when they claim to love a girl. Not that girls are so smart, for I found I didn’t really love him either. Now my problem is this: When I go back to school, are kids going to think that he quit me, and believe that I still like him? I don’t want them to think this because I wouldn't go back to him for anything. This is my last year in high school and I don’t want it ruined by the memories of last year. DO DO. = = 2 = ” 2 Answer—As a matter of pride you would like your school mates to believe that you quit the boy instead of vice versa, but since this isn’t the case, the less said the better. Don’t be so self-conscious atout it. Twosomes always are springing up and flying apart in school. A split-up is such a common occurrence that it isn’t news. It cannot be half as important to your schoo! mates as it is to you and will occupy a very small part of their thinking. After a few curious questions which you airily can turn aside by affirming that the affair is cold as ashes on both sides, your former romance will be forgotten and the boys and girls will find something else to talk about. So you have a new boy friend! That's fine. A new conquest is more interesting to everybody than dead love. Your school year will not be spoiled by memories of the past. Such memories will not outlast the first few days. Take heart. Let other girls who believe that they are hopelessly in love learn something from your experience. Instead of moping around crying for what you couldn’t have, you courageously substituted something else. Often when girls cling to a dead love affair it is because they are afraid to try again for fear of encountering a second defeat. “I love him and him only,” becomes a method of dodging new experience. The discouraged retreat in the face of disappointment but the courageous invariably make a new attack on the problem. JANE JORDAN.

‘Go-to-Sleep’ Exercises

Will Help

Guest columnist today for vacationin beauty expert Alicia Hart is Martha Alden, sleep consultant and sheeting authority for a large sheeting mill, who has developed a series of ‘‘go-to-sieep” exercises for those who suffer from insomnia.

By MARTHA ALDEN EVERY WOMAN knows that sleep brings beauty. Yet there are many of us who pummel the pillow into a shapeless mass, toss restlessly while ten thousand fluffy white sheep skip gaily by, and rise in the i 5 morning totally ob unrefreshed. Even the skillful application of cosmetics can do little to conceal circles and fatigue lines, for the vital radiance {0 be derived from a good night's slumber doesn’t come in little jars and bottles. Sleep is nature’s way of : putting I up for repairs. I Marts Alden have found from experiments with women’s clubs, department stores and colleges that if you start with a perfectly smooth comfortable bed, your insomnia battle is half won.

2 2 ” BUT IF YOU STILL FIND it difficult to coax Morpheus into a generous mood, try some of these slumber exercises especially designed to be done on a bed. I. GRAND SALAAM—Good for unkinking knots. Gives you a “fluid” feeling. With body upright and arms stretched towards the ceiling, kneel on the bed. Let your head drop backward and stretch. Then quickly drop body forward and let your head fall between your arms on the bed, trunk folded back on heels. The motion is one of quick collapse. 2. BODY-ROLL—Changes blood stream, thereby relieving fatigue. Lie flat on back, arms at sides, knees bent slightly, roll over on side leading with the hips and following with shoulders until you are completely turned over, face downward. Now roll back again and repeat on the other side. 3. HOME STRETCH — Relieves muscular tension. Lie flat on back with arms stretched forward down the middle line of body. Clasping hands in front, raise yourself forward, letting hands clasped in front help on upward pull. Body should be raised 10 or 12 inches from bed. Then let yourself fall back limply, unclasping hands and dropping them to sides.

Zeta Tau Alpha To Build Home At Butler

Construction to Begin During School Year

Mrs. Charles W. Smuck, president of the Zeta Tau Alpha House Association, has announced that construction will start on a new sorority chapter house at Butler University within the current school year. The sorority will have its new chapter house at 709 Hampton Drive next to the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity on the Fairview Fraternity Row. The house was designed by Richard C. Lennox, Indianapolis, along modified colonial lines. Mr. Lennox has had wide experience in chapter house designing, having been for a number of years a member of the national house advisory board of his college fraternity. Zeta Tau Alpha has made use of the basic colonial architecture in chapter houses all over the country. The design is traditional because of the sorority’s founding in Virginia. The chapter house on the Fairview campus was designed by Mr. Lennox to best fit the needs of a chapter in an urban community. Emphasis has been placed on providing a gracious and hospitable background for the social activities of the chapter rather than on spacious living accommodations for a large. number of resident students.

Second Owned The new house will be the second to have been owned by the local Zeta Tau Alpha chapter, installed on the Butler campus in June, 1920. At that time the university was located on the Irvington campus. The chapter occupied rental] property until the school was moved to the Fairview campus in 1929. National policy of Zeta Tau Alpha determines that ownership and management of chapter houses be placed in the hands of alumnae members through legally incorporated chapter house associations. Colleges are thus relieved of governing responsibility. Local sorority affairs are to be directed by the local house corporation consisting of a board of seven alumnae. National supervision will be maintained by a house advisory board which will approve all plans for chapter house building and financing. : Members of the local house association include Mrs. Smuck, president; Mrs. Lennox, vice president; Mrs. James D. Foley, secretary; Mrs. C. M. Emhardt, treasurer; Mrs. Walter L. Dearing, Dr. Olga Bonke Booher and Mrs. Elizabeth D. Ves1.

We, the Women Bridegrooms

Of Fall Can Be

Sure It's Love

By RUTH MILLETT THE YOUNG MAN who gets & bride—September, 1941, model—can be pretty sure of these things about her: That she isn’t likely to be mare rying because she is the domestio type who thinks of marriage only

in terms of security — instead of in terms of sharing life with exactly the right man. For this isn’t a year to encourage the girl whose idea of being married is to have a home of her ; own, eight of everything in her sterling silver pattern, and a kitchen done in red and white down to the last tea towel. That she isn’t a timid little soul who is afraid te take a chance on the future. She is bound to know that the defense program may take her husband away from her at any time. That she isn't marrying just so that she can stop working and take life a little easier. For in times ° as unsettled as these no girl can be sure that it won't be necessary for her to earn a paycheck after mare riage. That she is pretty sure to be marrying for love. security she’d pick an older man whose future didn't hold the risk of being upset by Army service. :

” o ”

THAT SHE HAS the courage of her own convictions. For any girl who marries a young man today is sure to have older people warn them that “it is better to wait a while.” They have forgotten that waiting can be pretty tough and that “a year or two” can sound like forever, That she will be equal to wWhat« ever the future brings, for women who have to courage to reach out and take what they want usually

them. ; Knowing these things are probe | ably true of her, a young man ought to feel pretty lucky — even though he isn’t able to offer his wife the security and the well- 3 planned future he would like to offer her.

Going-Away Gift

An appropriate going-away gift for the vacationist who is planning a trip either by train, boat or motor would be a travel pillow. A Fifth Avenue specialty shop offers a travel pillow of fine, white goose down in a smartly styled case of soft pin calfskin, in brown, black, blue or red piped with a contrasting color. The case is large enough to contain a knee-rug as well as the pillow, and an outside pocket (which closes with a slide-fastener) is designed for magazines or books. The case is not bulky, and a handle at the top makes it convenient to carry.
