Advice On How
To Keep Your
Boy Friend

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 6.-To the
younger Hollywood generation Of
femininity gees the palm for
handling affairs of the heart with
equanimity.
With movie beauties changing
their boy-friendS, "steadies" and
fiances as frequently as twice a
week some provision must be made
for the avoidance of embarrassing
situations.
And so, it was revealed for the
,irst time today, the girls OF
novieland not yet of voting age
are operating under a code of 10
provisions which makes for an i'm
perturability of emotions wholely
without precedent in previous gen.
erations. The disclosure comes
from Mary Frances Clifford, II and
lovely, who six months ago was
a Long Beach high school girl to
be discovered" and contracted by
Samuel Goldwyn during the max
ing of Merle Oberon's Beloved
Enemy"
The 10 code provisions Mary
Francis list as:
/. If you encounter an ex-boy
friend while out with a new one
introduce them and make them
feel like they're fraternity broth
erS.
2. Don't feel bad about return
ing the ring to a temporary
fiance. He won't lose anything
on it. 1t can be readily changed
in size so that he can use it again
and again.
3. Give a "heart" that you've
cooled on "good-by date" This
way matters becomes so confused
that it's hard to tell who's giving
who the air.
4. Always explain to a current
boy friend that oscillation be-
tween yourself and a male film
player as practiced in movie
scenes are don't count Kisses"
and if he thinks they're too warm
that he should improve his own
technique.
5. If your current boy friend
feels sympathetic towards the
one he's replaced, tell him to
save his sympathy for himself.
He'll need it soon enough.
6. Don't accept presents from
a boy friend that you know he
can't afford. He'll bitterly re-
sent you when you brush him
off if he has bankrupted him.
self.
Z. Always have a spare, or
secondary, boy friend in the i'm
mediate offing, so if the current
flame shows signs of cooling
you can beat him to it.
8. Never be out Of circulation
more than 48 hours at a stretch.
The boys will figure that you
have lost your grip and lose all
interest.
9. If out with a boy friend
when you encounter an lex" Of
pugnacious nature, don't keep
the two from fighting over you.
Instead, see if there isn't some
other man handy on whom you
can turn your affections and
leave the scene of battle with
him.
10. If an ex-boy friend is hard
hit by your detection, arrange
for him to meet some other girl
who you'll tell him is more
worthy of his affection than
you could ever be.
