 My advice 10 my correspondent is this: Don't worry"
 Boredom caters into all lives, even into the lives of young people in love with each other. We must accept such things as unacceptable facts and re- sign ourselves to them and make our adjustments accordingly.
 Genuine and sustained boredom exists only where love does not exist. That is why young women who marry rich old men are unhappy and agonizingly unhappy. What passes for happiness in such marriags is noth- ing more than he--a false feeling of contentment in the security of wealth and comfort.

There is ac- tually some truth in the saying that absnce makes the heart grow fonder.

Why CourtsEips all Is Told
 By Betty
By BETTY VINCENT

@S A&AA 4 1 = NAANOAN@NA = W7HAT is the matter with the mod
 w ern young man and woman
 asked number of interested old CT people who used to boast of their matchmaking ability but now give week end parties and dances only to see the young people return to their offices and former work as blessedly single as when they accepted the invitation.
 Young men meet girls at dances and parties, joke with them, pay them gal. lant compliments but do not ask to call and do not evince any particular interest in ever seeing them again.
 Why?
 What has become of that old suit or instinct, of the man who loves to call upon a girl and take her out even if he does not intend to see Dad or the minister"
 An expert student of psychology laughed when I mentioned these facts to him the other day.
 '.Of course, the modern young fellow doesn't bother to hunt a girl up to- day or care whether he ever meets her again." said this scientist, ''and I'll tell you the reason why. The girl who wishes to make a man anxious to fur ther an acquaintance or to propose must never let him think she is as capable as he is. Even though she earns more money and is more proficient in her line of work she must not boast of these facts. And yet that is exactly what the modern girl does.
 '@The modern girl starts right in to brag about how much salary she gets, how clever her boss thinks she is and future position upon which she has her eye. The modern young man lights her cigarette for her, watches her blow out clouds of smoke and thinks Let her go to it. She's so brainy she can take care of herself"
 He has no feeling of protection to. ward her, none of the primeyal instincts to care for her or to guide her along any path-much less the matrimonial one.
 Some men, 1t is true, have actually begun to look upon girls as good mat rimonial catches and pick out certain girls because they'll be good little fifty. fifty partners to help pay the rent and grocery bills, but I doubt very much if the average girl cares much for that type of marriage. Every girl still dreams of Prince Charming who will ride up in his >Rolls-Royce and carry her off some day, but if she is going to brag how clever she is and how independ- ent she is she can just expect one or two things: The man will snap her up because she is a good little fifty-fifty partner, or the man will not care to further their acquaintance, because she seems to know more than he does and consequently the romance is blown out of things at their first meeting"

1924 PICTURES
TO BE SIMPLE,
CLEAN, SHORTER
by United Press Leased Wire

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 23.-Whole-
some pictures, with clean advertis-
ing is the 1924 program of Holly
wood producers.
Modern stories, with as few
characters as possible, and told in
six or seven reels is the present
producing vogue in the Pacific
Coast film producing industry.\
This is the opinion of Maurice
Tourneur, one of the leading pro-
ducer- directors, who has just com
pleted a survey of the years out
look.
"With the exception of a few
truly powerful stories, the period
play has lost favor with the pub
lie, " Tourneur said today. "There
are Il very limited number of per-
iod plays, including their old-time
costuming, that will always com
mand Il tremendous public patro-
mage, but these will be the excep.
tion and not the rule as III the
past.
"The majority of the film pro-
ducers, unlike the theatrical pro-
ducers of the east, and many book
publishers, will fight shy of the
story bordering on the saIacious and
profane. In this connection, the
screen will do its share to help turn
the popular trend to the form of
entertainment best suited for the
AMERICAN family. Producers, how
ever, will always insist upon their
rights as American citizens to por-
tray life as we know it, and it is
not to be inferred that the pictures
to come will be the sugar-coated,
namby- -pamby stuff that no one
would enjoy.
"Another lesson has been learned
by producers, and that is to keep
the number of characters down to
Il minimum.
