Family Friend.

Dear Mimi: Please give me POUR
advice on this problem: There q q
boy who comes to our house, Just o
friend Of the family. He IS ~ and ! am
IS. When 60 to parties or places
where they have mixed couples and
ask him to 60 he win always 60 With
me. The family has . bungalow out
in the country and he comes there, too,
any time he wants.
when I ask him to 60 anywhere with
me he is always willing TO 60. When I
am in his company he never talks Of
love. He Is q gentleman In every way
and have been q lot Of places with
him.
II feel that am In love with this
boy. I have tried TO argue with myself
but It cannot be done. would like 70
know II this boy Is In love with me, OF
II It will ever turn to love?"
You have answered your own question
when you say % friend Of the family"
Apparently that Is what this young man
is and all that he cares to be.
He is companionably fond Of you, and
mentS With you. But his interest Is not
sufficient to cause him to take the In
itiative In making engagements with
you.
He Is not In love with you. II he
were, your only difnculty would be in
finding enough time to accept his many
and persistent invitations. Every instant
not spent with you would count as 50
much time wasted.
Whether his feeling for you will ever
turn to love 1t IL impossible to foretell.
Some people actually fall In love at
f1rSt sight Others know each other for
years before some nomentouS or trivial
occurrence reveals to them that what
they have mistaken so long for friend
ship is In reality love. Some romances
begin with mutual autagonism.
Absence is sometimes q cure for in
difference. II possible, 60 away for q
short visit and don't write to him while
you are away. Perhaps when he has
an opportunity really to miss you he
will realize that you are more necessary
to his happiness than he had suspected.
Stop asking him to take you out.
Don't neglect other friends in your
effort to attract the attention Of one
young man who Is, at present, unaware
OF your charm. Some day you yourself
may discover that not this young man,
whom you are now trying so hard to
impress. but another boy, who has been
Just a good friend" Is the only man
in the world.

Everyday Psychology


Most psychologists hold that nothing
u really forgotten. That the stock Of
past experiences u permanently regis
tered In the cells Of the brain. Just how
the registration takes place Is some
thing Of q mystery. What We call for.
getting Is merely o name for an 1ns
ability to recall voluntarily this or that
item Of the past: Many Of the ex.
periences we think are forgotten come
back ct most unexpected times and Ia
most unexpected connections. They
often appear Q little puzzling until We
get them placed" This fact Is taken
as proof Of the unforgettability Of every
experience. ~
Let us assume that the theory Is
good; that It states the facts about
forgetting" What does 1t mean for
everyday psychology.
It Is argued that since nothing n ever
forgotten, all new experiences merge
with the unforgotten experiences This
merging makes all new experiences seem
like so much more Of the old. Unless
something very much out Of the Ordi-
nary happens, life seems TO race along
on o monotonouS plane. Years seem to
pass rapidly as we look back. That's
because they were comparatively empty
as we went forward.
And then what? Men and women
should never retire from their voca-
lions or callings. Work II the one
thing that fills the void created by
the absence Of thrills and excitement.
There seems to be Q place for adult
education in our science Of living. Per-
haps we need Q new course Of study
about every five years. We need some
way Of escape from the commonplace.
What would 1t mean for the men and
women Of 40 plus to keep on discovering
something new, rather than increasing
the stock Of old? Keep on going to
school. Adult education u Just around
the corner.

A working woman spends two-thirds

now.
For myself I think o girl looks best
in hot weather in an Office In q simple,
sleeveless dress, one that won't rlmpie
or show stains; or else one that can be
easily laundered. And In the Winter
she looks best to my eye in anything
that IL becoming to her that Is not too

But, then, I am one Of those who
think that o girl OF . tee party or in 0

also looks well dressed the same way.

Let anybody interfere with the way you
dress. Most American girls have good

ment. Any girl who IL capable Of earn
