‘| Jordan, who will

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a man of 37. I worked my way

| through college and after many

hardships won a Ph. D. in chemistry. Now I am superintendent of a defense plant- and want to marry. The first girl I was engagéd to threw me over. Recently I proposed to another and her answer

puzzles me. : Before we met she went steady with a boy for three years, grew tired of him and they split up. When the war broke eut I had to work nights quite often. One evening we quarreled and she began to date her old.friend on the nights I had to work. Now she can’t make up her mind between us and wishes she were twins and could marry both of us. ‘He has stood the time test, was loyal even when she grew tired of him and had other. dates. She is sure he loves her; she isn’t sure of me’ because I would not have stood around and waited for a year while she had other dates. I felt I should say goodby but she said whereas she was partial to the other boy now she might not feel the same within a “week, and that although he had proposed several times she hadn't said yes, yet he still came fo see her and I should do the same. She asked if I would come to her wedding in case I wasn’t the bridegroom and my refusal surprised her. : How do you account .for her actions? Why should she go.back to her boy friend Who continually crawls to get her back? I feel old and incapable of holding a girl. I have a strange reluctance to look for another. If I stick around and play second fiddle, would she marry me? DOCTOR. # s ft J

Answer—In my opinion your attitude is sensible and realistic. You proposed to a girl. She said she was partial to another and you said goodby. Why should you hang around ad infinitum as an ornament to her ego when she prefers the other man? She's kept him dangling for several years without giving him an answer and would like to do the same with you. Isn't there something a little: bit cruel about a girl who wants two

‘men to remain slavishly devoted | while she vacillates between them

and who wants the discarded suitor to watch her marriage to the one she accepted? One suspects that she likes to win men for the pleasure of keeping them in doubt. Her behavior indicates that she is more bent upon receiving love than on giving it and that she enjoys inflicting pain. I should think that your confidence in her would be‘ considerably aken. A girl who changes her mind from week to week is something of a matrimonial risk. At any rate I see no reason for you to emulate the patient suitor. Twice your ego has received a setback

yourself why you have chosen two women upon whom -you could not depend. You may not be able to answer such a complicated question, but you can learn to choose more wisely and with better insight into a woman’s character. : Ta JANE JORDAN. Put your problems in a letter to Jane

How to Handl Those Grown Children

By RUTH MILLETT

SHE HAS GROWN children scat= tered in several parts of the cour try, and they all think a visit from mother is one of the nicest things that can happen to them. Mothers whose children aren’ cordial in their i invitati ons i might take a few tips from this woman on how to make themselves liked and ap-

|preciated as

well as loved by their grown

‘|sons and daugh-

In the first place this mother realizes that her responsibility for her children is over. What they do now is their lives Whatever they want to tell her she listens to with a sympathetic ear— but she doesn’t pry. - She makes them work a little ta persuade her to visit them, so that when they get a letter saying tha she is coming for a few days’ visit they feel as though they have exe perienced a small triumph. ; She isn’t critical of the way they live, even though it isnt’ exactly the kind of life she would have chosen

for herself. . She doesn’t tell them her trous bles or recount all the troubles of everyone she knows. Instead, she laughs a lot. 2 ” » . NOT IN ANY WAY does she play on her children’s sympathy. Ine

stead of thinking of her as “Poor Mother,” they hope that when-they are her age they will get as much satisfaction out of life as she does and be as much fun as she is to have around. Her health isn’t a conversational standby with her. She is too ine terested in what is going on in the world to have to fall back on her health for something to talk about. Her children aren’t weighed down

by any thought that their mother

is living her life through theirs. She has her own interests, her own friends and her own fun. - No wonder her children like as. well as love her—a combination which is more than most mothers realize.
