Manners and Morals
BY LANE JORDAN

should get a divorce or not. My
personal feeling is that people do
wrong in sacrificing the major
needs of their lives for another.
If you are more Sociable and CO.
operative than your husband, 1 can
not see where either of you would
benefit by having your contacts
completely cut off.
InSupportable loneliness in mar
riage should be valid grounds for
divorce, but it is not recognized as
such by law unless it can be inter
preted as some form Of cruel and
inhuman treatment.

Dear Jane Jordan-I am 81 and
considered a nice girl. I have
never run around much. In the
last three weeks I have had dates
with an old school chum of mine.
I fell in love with him the first
date and I told him so, but he
seems to think it is not true. He
has told me he liked me as we'll
as any one, but want to be sure.
1t seems like when I see him
every day I could never feel bad
again and that I could face any
thing in the world. He is terribly
SeXy and I couldn't resist him.
tried to but it was Just impossible
1 don't regret it and he doesn't
hold me responsible.
He was disappointed once in
life and is against marriage, but
I don't care about that as long
as 1 know he cares for me. hope
you understand this situation of
mine and help me by telling me
if I am doing right by loving him
or if I am just being common.
ANOTHER CONFUSED GIRL.
Answer-Of course, in the Sc
crecy of your own heart. you think
you are common or you wouldn t
have written to me to tell you that
you aren't. That desire 1 can graft
fly. II do not think Of you as COM
mon, or as a girl lacking in good
judgment.
You are due for bump, because
you are too easy a conquest. Most
men value most the things that
are hardest to get. Therefore, you
aren't serving your own best in
terestS by loving with being urged.
When the bump comes, write me
again and I'll try to help you
The young man isn't exactly in
sincere. He just isn't as hot for
certainties as you are.
Dear Jane Jordan - I am II
years old and am going with a
fellow 81. We have been going
steady for six months. I have
never cared for necking, drinking
and such things, although 1 do
smoke. He thinks I should go fur
ther into details than just neck
ing. Do you think he loves me as
he says he does, or should 1 look
elsewhere for friendship? I really
care lot for him.
PUZZLED MAE.
AnSWer-Man's perennial interest
has been in woman's body. There
are very few boys who will not try
to beat down a girls resistance. But
if they are seriously in love with
her, they will respect her refusal.
Not that they won't try again and
again. You hardly can hope for a
boy whose intentions are strictly
platonic.
Sometimes I think the perverse
creatures hope and pray that the
girl will remain firm in her convic-
lions in spite of the fact that they
do everything possible to tear them
down. Their victory is often tinged
with severe disappointment in the
girls strength of character, and
they suspect her of being equally
weak where other men are con-
cerned. 1 do not necessarily agree
with their conclusions, but 1 am
powerless to alter their attitude.
Dear Jane Jordan-The other
night I read in your column where
a man was going to Ottawa,
Canada in June. Could I please
get this gentleman's address? I
have a brother living there. Per-
haps they could become &C
quainted.
MR.. JOHNSTON.
Answer do not have the mans
address, but if he will send it, I
will forward your letter to MIN with
pleasure.
