your problem by answering your
letters in this column.
Dear Jane Jordan-I have been going
with girl for more than a year Not
long ago another couple and ourselves
were in my room in a hotel. We did
not stay over night and nothing hap
pened to be ashamed Of. But the girls
seem to think that there Is talk going
around. Since then my girl has refused
to have dates with me or see me Still
she says she loves me. l love her and
Sapt see Why she should feel that way
JUST TWENTY ONE.
Dear Just Twenty One-The most
powerful enemy that ever confront
ed man or a women is Public
Opinion Your girl is in deadly
fear Of this enemy. I'd drop her
if we're you, unless she gets over
her fear, and I'd look for a more
courageous girl. So long as she can
look in the mirror and know that
she's not ashamed Of herself, there
is no reason for such craven atti-
tude even before so dangerous an
enermy as Public Opinion.
It's something like wild beast.
Tremble, and it devours you. Look
it in the eye and it loses its feroc-
ity. Probably this won't work in
every case with either beast or
opinion, but at least courage is
more admirable than cowardice.

ried woman. My husbands people want
us to come and live with them. We have
our own furniture. but they want us to
store It. as they say we can live cheaper
with them. I don't want to, because 1
have daughter 3 months old and my
mother-in-law always has told me what
there visiting; so what would il be like
II we went there to live? My husband
always has said his mother came first.
What do you say? YOUNG WIFE.
Dear Young Wife, say that a
mans wife and child takes prece-
dence over the mother, and my
opinion has been upheld by courts,
time and again. Nothing but STERN
est necessity should cause you to
give up your home and go live with
others. Usually when a couple
lives in the home of one of their
families, it is the beginning of the
end. 1t is almost impossible to avoid
friction between mother and wife,
and soon you'll all be sunk in
misery.
Talk your husband out of this
notion, not by reproaching the
mother whom he loves, but by
stressing your love of your own lit
tie home and your desire to be alone
with him. Outmother the mother
so that he won't feel he is missing
anything by not returning to his
home.

A MOTHER WILLING TO LISTEN.
Dear Mother Willing to Listen
Advice won't help you. You need
material aid. If you will send me
your address, I will give the name
of a woman who might be able to
work something out for you. I can't
promise, but at least you might try
appealing to her.

If you want to make him as jealous
too young to go with any boy steady
as you are, why don't you turn his
own methods on him? Devote your
self to other boys and let him alone
I must warn you, however, that
boys won by such obvious tricks
seldom are permanent friends. An
attraction must spring from mutual
tastes and interests to be perma-
nent.
