rs there something you want to
n get off your chest? Something
you brood over all by yourself?
Write to Jane Jordan, nowl She is
wise woman with wealth of
human experience, whom The Times
has employed to help you.
1t will be a great relief to I'M
burden yourself to her. Don't put
it off. Write your letter now
Dear Jane Jordan-I am 81 years old
and I am thinking seriously of going
to another town. husband hunting. There
are a few nice men in my own home
town who have known me all my life.
They like me and take me lots of places.
but none of them proposes marriage.
AS I see no prospect here, should I
leave a good lob and nice home and
go to a strange city in hope of finding
nice man who will marry me? I am
not so unhappy here and am not sure
should be happy if married How
ever. I don't want to miss any normal
experiences. There must be lots of
other girls in the same fix. What do
they do about it? VIOLET.
NEAR Violet-You would be fool
~ hardy to throw up a good job
in this period of depression, and
am sure you have too much good
sense to do it. There is such a
thing as doing the right thing at
the wrong time. Economic security
is important to your piece of mind.
Hang to it and wait for business
conditions to improve, before you
consider making a change. After
all, a husband is more or less of a
gamble, whereas congenial work and
a happy home are much more stable
propositions.
Yes, many fine girls in your situa-
ton have Slight opportunity to meet
new men, and many of them have
solved their problems by doing eX-
actly what you suggest. Every one
has heard of the girl who was an
old story to the home town boys,
but who became the belle of an
other community overnight.
If an attractive new girl comes
within your own circle of friends,
slant? Don't they always give her
a grand rush and run after her as
if She were Queen Marie? Nine
times out of ten she is not one-half
as Worthwhile as you are, but she
has the lure of the unknown about
her. New acquaintancesS with sat
isfactory people are stimulating to
all of us. In a community where
you are the new girl instead of the
familiar Violet, you probably would
kick up quite rumpus.
The fallacy in the theory is that
it isn't always easy to get acquaint-
ed in a new place, especially in a
city of any size. The chances are
that you would spend many lonely
hours and days before you made
friends with the young people.
Isn't there some one you can visit
occasionally? Some place where
you can spend your vacation, to get
a change of scene and people? Seize
every chance you have to enlarge
your circle of acquaintance. Prac-
tice on the men you know by show
ing a sympathetic interest in their
opinions and hobbies. Encourage
them to talk about themselves.
Whenever a man finds an admiring
audience in a woman, the situation
holds the germs Of a romance!
Dear Jane Jordan-Two months ago
met man who seemed crazy about me.
and sent me flowers at unexpected times
and did many other little thoughtful
things for me l fell in love with him
and thought sure he intended to ask
The other day met an attractive
woman who knows him, too, and found
out that he has been handing her the
same line and sending her flowers on
the same DAYS he sc sent mem me r. 70 To- me NEE
in love? Miss Jordan. what makes men
act that way? DlSGUSIED'
NEAR Disgusted-Men are always
II amazed when women take their
attentions so seriously They have
discovered that women like to be
shovered with attentions. Little
thoughtful deeds and bouquet
work like magic. 1t is as simple as
pressing a button to turn on the
light. Certain actions are sure to
bring certain results.
If a man does not make love to
q woman, if he ignores her sex and
tries to treat her as he would an
other man, he is devoid OF interest
to her. She is furious, and brands
him as a stick, a fiat tire or q bore!
What gets men down is the fact
that women interpret their pleasan-
tries as a tentative proposal of
matrimony. Let man send girl
a dozen roses and a box of candy,
and the recipient begins to plan her
bridesmaids dresses. If he tells her
how pretty she is. she huns Men
delssohn's Wedding March" under
her breath.
The smart woman accepts mans
attentions in the spirit in which
they are given, but she never be-
lisves his protestations of undying
love and affection until he shows
UP with a ring, a license, and the
preacher. Even then she tells her
self that it may be temporary
