T one Of Americas leading

Mayfiower Hotel yesterday
afternoon and talked.
He was here to read some of his
poetry before the closing session Of
the convention of the National Coun-
Gil Of Teachers of English, but in the
privacy Of his room he spoke of other
things; OF poetry and the characters
and personalities OF literary contem-
poraries. Of his own struggles for
recognition, his homes in New Eng
land.
To Robert Frost the writing of
poetry has been a career which ex-
acted toll for each unit Of reward.
He recalled yesterday how he sold his
first poem in 1892, only a year after
being graduated from high school
Immediately he was discovered by

OF his life since then, Frost spoke
most fondly of his farms In South
Shaftsbury, VT, and in Amherst,
Mass. In the latter place he spends
at least three months each year as Q
resident professor in poetry at Am
herst College. In this post he teaches
no classes-merely talks to students
and others of the little college town
who are interested in poetry.

His few ventures out Of New Eng
land since settling there during the

ones, he said yesterday. At the Uni

for a number of years, he found life
too hurried, less quiet and gentle
than that of Amherst.

metric.

Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

tell her that I have the watch but
will not give it to her as long as
she goes with the other fellow?
JUST A FOOL IN LOVE.
Answer-If you exact promise
in payment for your gift, it rather
looks as if you thought emotion
could be bought and paid for. 1t
can not. Favors can be won by
brides, but not genuine affection.
Before marriage it is a good idea
to let the best man win without be-
ing too squeamish about the loser.
If you want the girl, go after her
without worrying about the other
fellow. When she learns to love
you if she does, he will fall by the
wayside without any grandiose de-
mandS for his Punishment on your
part.
The streak of caution which you
exhibit by Withholding the watch
until the other fellow receives the
gate is not apt to be very popular
with the ladies' They are fond of
the generous gesture, the gallant
lover who sweeps everything before
him.
Jealous whining about a rival
sutton isn't half SO effective as ig-
noring his very existence. Besides,
as long as you're jealous, you give
her a weapon to hold over your
head. and you may be sure she will
enjoy your discomfort thoroughly.

love, but she still considers me just
a good friend. Not long ago I eX-
pressed my feelings to her and she
said she thought of me only as a
true friend.
She has been engaged twice and
has broken both engagements.
She is a blond and is 81 years old.
She never has been the flapper
type of girl. She is very domestic
and seems to be broad-minded.
We have many things in common.
Do YOU think she might change
her mind about me, since she said
she didn't love either of the two
boys she was engaged to?
JACK.
Answer-If the girl was older 1
would look on her broken engage
ments with some suspicion.
would ask myself if she was the
kind of girl who ceased to desire
a lover after the conquest of his
affections was made. 1 would Won
der if she were not more intent on
the exercise of her own charms
than on the man she charmed.
But since she is so young, and
since it is normal for all young
things to play at love until they
find the one they can live with
permanently, I do not take her
broken engagements seriously.
At least she has shown no dis
position to play "foolies" with you.
She has been straightforward and
friendly. Whether or not she will
fall in love with you, I do not
know. If she fails to respond to
your love making it would not be
wise for you to press your suit too
long against her will.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a
young man 18 years old and in
love with a girl 16. She has been
going with a fellow almost three
years and she tells me she loves
me better than she loves him.
But she hasn't quit him for good.
She says she wants to pull away
gradually.
The fellow and I are good
friends and I don't want to make
him angry with me. He goes to
high school and has no job, so
he has no money to buy the girl
anything. I have a job and can
buy her lots of things. bought
her a wrist watch but haven't
given it to her yet. Do you think
it would be wise to wait until she
quits the other fellow? Should I
