Dear Jane Jordan-wnl you please
help me find way to interest older
men2 I am lust 10 and have two fine
boy friends. They ike me dignifed and
reserved. but I am fond of older men.
The, boys. are so young. you see. am
anxious to make a good impression on
man considerably older than 1 am.
but my poise and calmness do not seem
to attract him, What can l do to
catch his interest? DOROTHY.
Dear Dorothy-Just keep kiss
able" I would like to tell you that
you must improve your mind, read
good books and practice the art of
conversation, but observation has
taught me that it hardly is ever
necessary. No kissable young girl
has to worry about how to attract
an older man, or a younger one,
either, for that matter. He falls
with a thud for her youth and
prettiness, even if she hasn't grain
Of sense.
AS for your mind, all you have to
know is how to look pretty; as for
books, even a speaking acquain-
lance with them is not required;
and your conversation merely needs
to sing every known variation of
How marvellous you are!"
OF course if the man you wish to
attract is unusual and has the
brains to demand his mental equal
in a woman, you haven't a chance.
You can't assume the qualities he
is looking for to save your soul.
You'll have to live and learn and
grow and develop before you can
interest him in the slightest.

Dear J. w.-Can you save enough
money to join an athletic club OF
the Y. M. G. A.? There you would
find the companionship of other
men and the facilities of the club
such as swimming, bowling, GYM
nasium, chess, checkers and other
games-open to you. Make more
contacts and meet another woman.
What you need more than anything
else is companiShip. Do you re-
call George Elliot's statement, THE
human heart finds rest only in hui
man kind?"
AS for hobbies, there are dozens
of them. What about stamp col
lecting as one of the least expen-
sive? Philatehsts are enthusiastic
about their hobby and have formed
a society for exchange of stamps
and labels. You might meet some
new people which would help to get
you out of the doldrums.

Tell your ex-wife the truth about
your situationl What if she does
tell? The story reflects to her dis
credit, not yours. If you signed
away your evenings for ten years to
