the Communists off balance.

is Something Wrong With Your Romance?
By Kite Turmoil

Are you feeling April-fooled

Heartbreak is hard to take at
any age. If you have been re-
jected or ignored by one who was
especially important to you, you
cannot help feeling hurt, puzzled.
lonely.
Outside the fairy tales there is
no magic wand to bring the lost or
Indifferent one under your spell.
However there are well-tested
ways whereby you can learn, early,
how to deal with real trouble
First you try to be realistic. If
you are infatuated with one who
never did show heartfelt interest
in you, you summon your
pride and common sense.
You make an earnest effort to
regain your independence and your
zest to enjoy whatever is within
your reach.
If it's split-up with someone
to whom you were important, too,
you try to think out honestly. If
you feel at fault or suspect a
misunderstanding. why not try to
straighten it out, right now?
Usually it is hopeless to try to
pursue one who is no longer eager
to date you.
After breakup whatever has
been exchanged or loaned in

girl does not make this offer, the
boy may ask her to return his ring
or pin in person or by mail
whichever is easier for both

AS you date around, you try not
to dread meeting the one for
whom you might still be torch
bearing" If you do meet, you try
to be casual, friendly, calm, not
too personal. You do not over
dramatic by acting extra-gay, to
pretend you do not care, or by
giving the frozen stare. You do
not try to keep steering your new
dance-partner past your former
heart-keeper.

jolted you. To force yourself to
build up a sudden mighty interest
in a rival is unfair to the new
conner and you 1t is better to go
back to carefree free-lance dating
until you are ready for another
steady heart-interest.
That might be sooner than you
think. 1t is true that there are
some romances which you never
do outgrow, if you are that idealis-
tic and the companionship seemed
that perfect. However, it is
heartening to know that most
people who think they are in love
for keeps repeat that experience
two or three times before they
find the one who is really right.
From then on they thank <their
