Your letter tells me absolutely
nothing about your mother except
that she is fearful and objects to
your boy friends. Why? Ii she is
young and attractive herself, she
may unconSciously regard you as
rival. In that case you might
feel the urge to Guido her in the
art of attracting men. If she is
old and unattractive, she may be
secretly envious Of your affairs.
Whichever way it is, my guess is
that you merely are Straining
against parental restraint, and
feel that you should have free
dom of action without supervision
from your mother.

Dear Jane Jordan had gone
with a fellow over a year when
we had little misunderstanding.
1 thought we had been seeing too
much of each other and suggested
that we would have one more
date and then not see each other
for time. On this date he was
drunk and miStreated me. Later
he told me he was sorry and that
he still loved me.
1 have been running around
with a fellow who is nice looking
and shows me a good time, but I
can't like him as do the first
one. Should I give the first fell
low another chance, or should I
forget him if I can.
UNDETERMINED.
Answer don't know enough
about the boy to advise you intel
ligently I am inclined to mistrus
young man who gets drunk wher
he is disappointed, and who be-
comes a roughneck when he is il
his cups. Personally, I would re.
gard it as a character defect which
barred him from all serious con.
sideration. To enjoy him when hi
is sober and behaving himself is one
thing. But a permanent partnership
with him in which you can not
walk out when he behaves in such
a sorry manner is too risky for any
self-respecting girl.
Dear Jane JOrdan-I read a let
ter signed "a Thousand Years
Old" in your column, and would
like your readers to hear my
story. Like this man I went out
and deceived my wife. I was 40
years old and looking for a thrill.
was not only disappointed, but
lost all had. My wife has mar
ried again and is very happy. A
better wife and mother never lived.
My daughters are not the same
with me.
1 am alone most of the time.
The one 1 left my home for is
Wrecking other homes. My adj
vice to men who have a good home
is to be faithful. 1 wish I could
live my life over. I still love my
wife, and God only knows how I
suffer when see her. We lived
together twenty years and have
been parted four.
LONELY AT At.
AnSWer-You've made a major
mistake, and unlike most people
you are willing to admit it. That
does not mean that your life is
ruined. Your experience has taught
you much. There is no use in use
less repining. 1t is quite possible fo1
you to find other friends, and an
other partner if you desire. All is
not lost by long shot. Start over
Dear Jane Jordan-several weeks
ago I told you I could draw, and
you advised me to take it up. Should
I go in debt $3.50 for an art course
when owe other debts? An art
school agent who saw a drawing
1 had made said I had artistic abil-
ity. OF course statesmen have &
line, but he said if you never get
backbone enough to go ahead and
do thing, you never get it done
He mentioned one girl who after
taking the course for seven months
began making money.
I am Is. My husband is 81. We
haven't any children. He is salts
fed at whatever I want to do. Sc
what is your opinion Of the whole
thing.
MISS TWENTY FIVE.
Answer-Take some Of your
drawings to the Heron Art In
Stitute and ask some che there
to verify the salesman's opinion.
You can be sure Of getting reli-
able information about your po-
tentialities, and about the school
which is offering the course.
