Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

For the moment they live in a
dream world of pleasure and delight.
But when they encounter cold, hard
reality, they recover with the most
amazing speed.
No woman can believe in the sin
certify of a temporary love affair.
Unless it is lasting it has no value
in her eyes. If man gets over his
emotion easily she is sure he is
liar and the truth is not in him.
The hardest task man has to do
is to hurt the woman he has loved
for a day, week, a month or
year by retracting his tender state
ments. Painfully he evades her
anxious questioning. How can he
explain that it is over without STIR
ring up a scene? Sometimes he feels
a terrific impatience with the way
in which women hang on to love.
Why can't they enjoy what the mo-
ment offers and then let go?
1t may be that I do the young
man in this case an injustice by
according him with the well-known
masculine psychology. Perhaps he
is shaken by an enduring love, but
there is nothing in his behavior, past
or present, to tell me so.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am
young man of West indianapolis
in love with a Jewish girl. Al
though I am a Gentle, look
very much like Jew and am
considered handsome. am with
this girl every day and almost
every night. She says she loves
me more than any one in the
world. but still the nights when
I am not with her she is out with
other fellows.
AS I am very much in love with
her. these things nearly break
my heart Will you please advise
me what to dc?
LOVESICK FINK.
Answer always have believed
that if young people in love couldn't
trust each other in other friend
ships. their love was not worth wor-
rying about Find yourself some
girl friends to enjoy while she goes
out with other boys.
If after both of you have seen
all you care to of others, you still
prefer each other, you have some
thing to build on.
Dear Jane Jordan-For the last
four years I had had dates now
and then with a fellow for whom
I care lot. Every time I see him
my heart leaps and I'm all eX-
cited. But I'm at loss when 1t
comes to his conduct. He can not
touch me without displaying emo
ton and several times he has
made bold remarks and attempts,
I often kiss him and wonder If
that has given him the opinion
that I might go on.
I haven't had a lot of expert
ence in handling men Of this ma
'ture 1 never knew any other
fellow who reacted in such way
when I was near him. I wonder
if I am playing with fire by think
ing that he cares for me. Would
you advise me to quit dating him
and do you think he cares any,
thing for me?
BLUE EYES.
Answer-PoSsi5ly the young man
is a little more honest about the way
he feels than the other boys you
have known. He has fewer civilized
inhibitionS to trouble him.
His impetuous conduct is not nee
esSarily an indication of love. If he
cared for your seriously, imagine
he would have told you so long be-
fore now. If you are smart enough
TO make him desire you and then
convince him that he can't get you
without marriage, he probably will
Succumb.
That is the pattern upon which
the average marriage is made, al
though I can't say much for its per- !
manence. Satisfactory unions are
built upon mutual tastes and objec-
tiYes.
