Show Would Test Love byPlau Two Dislike By BETTY BLAIR Love needs no tests other than those provided by the natural changes that occur with life itself. Meet Hearts Haven these with courage and intelligence and, ten to one, love endures. Dear Miss Blair: Last spring I met a girl whose ways thrilled me. It wssn't a case of love at first sight, but we'v been keeping steady company because be-cause neither of us wish to go with anyone else. We enjoy each other's company and have grown to love each other. Now, wo must wait at least four years before wo marry. 8ha muat finish school and 1 must acquire ac-quire substsntlal means for a de-rent de-rent living. We've decided we muet be sure of this to obtain lasting last-ing happlneae. Do you think wo should continue con-tinue going steady for four years? Or should we test our love by going go-ing with 'other girls and fellows once In awhile. She osys she doesn't like tho company of other boys, and I haven't had time and may not have for other girls' company. What shall we do? "IDAHO." a a e I do not approve of anyone, young er old, putting love to a test. Love has enough teets thrown across Its pathway without Its participants thinking up ways and means of testing Its strength. I do, howevsr, think youth should know youth tn varying degrees and phases of Its natur and activities. You should both be enjoying the company of other young peopl In crowd, oven though you may continue con-tinue to "go steady." But if you enjoy each other's company, why not permit that enjoyment to continue con-tinue without thinking up way of disrupting It Problem Enough You will find. In tho four years you have est for waiting for your marriage to be consummated, that there will be problems enough. One of these will be to bold your love in proper reserve, not to Indulge your deelre for heavy petting, for therein Ilea the danger of Intimacy without marriage killing love. For this reason you should both begin to understand and build up Interests that lie outside the pa's of passion. Invite another couple In to spend the evening with you to play monopoly er bridge, te dance to radio music, te work cross , word, pussies, tc engage In whatever what-ever Interest yon may have er would Ilk te acquire. r septa Change Personalities out always be dp te par. The) glamer of save Is like the ebb and flow of the tide, now lull, new knr, and four year will paint a different picture of your love than that which you have today. to-day. It ean be stronger, better picture with all the elements In fine perspective, or It ran be a Jumbled Jum-bled picture, with nothing of beauty la H. This wlU all depend en the Intelligence and development of common Interest of both. But what nice four year It can be, with both of you working In fine spirit to grow to tho extent of fineness te match the length of time you wish your love to last DiTRODtitlNti A DOCTOR Dear Mia Blair: When on I Introducing a doctor doc-tor to close friends, and tho doctor doc-tor I also a close friend, need one use the "doctor" title? Would this also apply if one husband were also a doctor? "M. R." O 0 o A doctor's title should always com before his name In an Introduction, Intro-duction, whether those to whom you are introducing bun are your close friend er not If you wsr using your husband's tame In the introduction you would also use his title of "doctor." In family Introductions, however, the nams la often omitted. For Instance, you may say, "Mrs. Graham, this is my husband," or "Mrs. Graham, may I prassnt my husband," for a more formal way of introduction. JUDGES BY BELT Dear Mis Blair: What wpuld you aay about a person who I always Judging other oth-er people by himself? I just want your opinion. "M. A. D." Thar Is no other way for people peo-ple to Judge others than by their own knowledge, experience and what they know of themselves. |
