By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My son,
a graduate of an out-of-town
college met a girl in the college
town and they fell in love.
After graduation, he enlisted in
the Air Force, and the young
people decided to postpone their
marriage. We gave them an
engagement party, when the girl
visited here, and did everything
to make her feel welcome. She
got many gifts, and her family
and friends also sent gifts. The
boy returned to camp and about
a year later something went
wrong and the engagement was
broken. Although both made
attempts, at various times, to fix
things up, it was finally decided
to call off the marriage. Origi-
nally, she said she would return
the ring and divide the gifts. but
apparently she has changed her
mind about this, since she is
returning nothing at all. What
is the procedure for getting
things back in a case like this?
Also, please caution young folks
about becoming involved too
hastily with people they scarcely
know. JOHN L.
ANSWER: You should be very
grateful that the ill-advised en-
gagement was cancelled. The
loss Of presents. ring, ETC., can
be charged off to a bad expert
ence from which no permanent
injury resulted. The first step
in recovering whatever gifts
should be returned to your son
is to write the girl, or her par
ents, and tell them what you
want. If no response is made,
consult a lawyer, but I think the
recourse to legal procedure would
be rather costly.
DEAR MISS NIssEN: Is it
right for an engaged woman to

OCCUPATIONS.

MRS. J. S. c., Washington
For the lady who wanted to
occupy herself in the house,
Mrs. 2. j. H, Washington:
Write a history of your family
and of your early days. Stress
the many manners and Gus
toms that differ from the pres
ent. It's revision and tipping
will pleasantly pass more
hours. Members of your fam
lily would undoubtedly welcome
copies Of it. If you have ever
kept a diary. you will find
it most helpful in giving cor
rect dates. If you do not type,
it is easy to acquire enough
skill to accomplish this. I am
doing 1t and find it most in
teresting.

would like a good recipe for

ANSWER: She is definitely
wrong! An engagement should
be as binding as any other con-
tract, and since it is a pledge of
loyalty, all outside dating is pre-
cluded. Break the engagement,
is my advice!
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am
the mother of grown boys. When
I come to town, which is once or
twice a year only, why should I
have to stay with my son? He
expects me to spend an evening
at his house-a whole day in
fact! He offers to drive me
wherever I want to go, and is
very kind in that respect, but I
like to stay at my mothers and
spend just a few hours at my
sons.
X. c.
ANSWER: Whoops! I could
scarcely believe my eyes when
reading this letter. With most
mothers complaining that they
get no attention from married
sons, it's rather a switch to find
a reverse problem. Naturally,
you are entitled to spend your
time in the city as you wish,
but I do hope you turn down
the boys invitation tactfully.

I have been watching for an
answer to Mrs. c. A. r., Wash

statement: "Civilization has

she might be interested in an
other quotation carrying a
similar thought: 1--WE are the
sad case of a civilization over
