Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

ously interested in something that
takes you outside yourself. Find a
hobby and ride it vigorously. Many
a person engaged in the daily grind
of earning living would give his
eyeteeth for the leisure you have in
which to pursue his outside inter-
eStS.
You are wrong in avoiding your
friends, where you would find the
accommodation that would pre-
vent you from being thrown in on
yourself. You live in a world full
OF other people, and you can not
live happily or contentedly unless
you learn to get along with some of
them.
Now, when you have opportunity
to study and understand the ma
lures of other individuals is the
time for you to store up stacks of
knowledge upon which you can
draw in the future.
You can not be yourself with
much success unless you know how
to adjust yourself to those MANY
other selves. A pretty thorough
understanding of personalities is
the foundation-not of everybody's
happiness, but of most people"
If you look outside the narrow
confines OF yourself, you will realize
that, whatever the difficulties of
age, it still is an exciting time in
which to be alive. Events are in
the saddle. Profound changes are
taking place. Our whole social
structure is threatened with COL
lapse.
What will take its place? Who
with an ounce of curiosity would
want to die before he found out
what happened to capitalism, to the
money system, to the Russian ex-
pertinent, to Mussolini, to Mahatma
Ghandi?
Turn your thought outward upon
the universe about you, instead of
inward on yourself. Keep in touch
with events and cultivate under
standing. Then, when your on
portunity comes, as it will, you'll
De ready to make the most of it.

Dear Jane Jordan-The fellow
with whom I am going steady GER
Valnly has me puzzled. He is a
good boy and comes from fine.
Well-to-do parents. AS he lives
IN another town, see him onlv
about once every six weeks. We
keep up steady correspondence.
but at times he is neglectful. Re-
Gently I heard he was going steady
with a girl in his home town. of
whom his parents greatly ap-
prove, but, of course, he denied it.
The last tine I saw him his at
tltude seemed different toward
me, not exactly that of a fellow
who loved a girl. In the past he
has limited several times at mar
riage. Now I am at a loss to an
alyze his feelings for me. He
means more to me than any fell
low I've ever gone with. What
snail / do? Please help me out.
PUZZLED PAT.
Dear Puzzled Pat-A young mans
fancy is far from a stable thing. He
can shift his affections with the
speed OF the wind, and it is a con-
slant puzzle to him why girls can
not. Propinquity is a great aid to
love affair. Therefore, you are at
disadvantage in living in another
town. Don't let this experience dis
courage you. He isn't the only
young man in the world.
Dear Jane Jordan. When 2
young man goes with a girl and
this girl flirts with other men be-
fore him, what makes him sore.
Jealousy or just pride? Could a
girl be good if she has wild wavs
and careless? Do you believe that
girls who run together are all
alike?
RUDY.
Dear Rudy: I see no difference be-
tween jealousy and hurt pride.
Sometimes really good girls assume
a wild manner, just to attract at
tention. There is an old saying that
birds of a feather flock together
but it isn't always true. I've seen
girls of quite different types main
tain friendship over a period OF
years.
