WOMAN TO WOMAN **************** * Questions answered on becoming a woman ***************** Q. My friends have already started on their monthly days. Why haven't I? A. Some girls may begin to have their monthly periods at 9 or 10 years; some not until 15 or 16. There's no set rule. It all depends on individual growth and development. If you haven't started by 16, however, why not see your doctor? Q. Must I feel blue at certain times of the month? A. As you learn more about your monthly cycle, you will realize that "blues" are only temporary. Just don't give in to them. Take your mind off yourself— -Do things you enjoy doing. Get into loose clothing — Feel free. Smart girls won't wear anything that binds on those days. They prefer wearing Tampax because it's invisible and unfelt when in place. It helps them forget a difference in days of the month. Q. How should I act on a date during my period? A. As you would any other time of the month. Your naturalness and discreetness will prevent embarrassment. Be sure to change your protection as often as necessary. Keep extras out of sight in your handbag. You'll appreciate Tampax® because it tucks away in a tiny purse. You'll like it, too, because it prevents odor from forming. Banishes other telltale signs — lines and bulges. Ends chafing, too. Q. When can I start to use Tampax? A. Every normal girl, married or single, can use Tampax as soon as she is completely matured. Its use is approved by doctors. Girls usually turn to it after friends tell them of its many advantages. As a new user, you will quickly learn how easy it is to insert and change. And how dainty, too. You'll especially like the way it keeps you feeling poised, confident — as on any other time of the month. Why not try Tampax internal sanitary protection? We'll be happy to send you a trial package {mailed in a plain wrapper) — together with our free booklet on monthly problems. Just send 10i (stamps or silver) to cover mailing costs, to Department A, Tampax Incorporated, Palmer, Mass. s HOLLYWOOD LOWDOWN • Tab Hunter to switch to virile Western roles • Jim Garner's last year as Maverick? DIAMONDS really are a girl's best friend, and we do mean the diamond j heart Debbie Reynolds received from Bob i Neal, in addition to the diamond brooch ' that received so much publicity. I can't vouch for Debbie, but Bob's intentions are serious. . . . And pretty Connie Towers isn't doing too badly on the diamond front, with new mate Gene McGrath showering her with the dazzling stuff — in the way he poured gems into the lap of previous bride, Terry Moore. I hope Connie gets to keep hers. Terry didn't. . . . Shari Sheeley, the 18-yearold who wrote Ricky Nelson's biggest record hit, "Poor Little Fool," is swooning for Liberty Recording star Eddie Cochran. Shari originally dittoed for Ricky, but this boy is hard to corral. Marlon Brando gave Suzy Parker's mate, Pierre de la Salle, a photographic scoop for his Paris Match magazine, although Life and Look were prepared to pay a fortune for the privilege. "He's a friend of my husband's," Suzy explained. . . . Paul Newman is supposed to remain with "Sweet Bird Of Youth," the Broadway play, until January, but now he just can't wait to get back to Hollywood — which he couldn't wait to leave earlier. Love this story told me by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., the bright star of "77 Sunset Strip." "My wife took up tennis because everyone plays here. Someone told Jack Warner she was a tennis player and he invited her to join the annual tournament at his home. 'I've only had a couple of lessons,' she warned him. He insisted. She played, partnered with champion Tony Trabert. They lost every game,"' Efrem sighed. It can happen. When I first came to Hollywood I was partnered with Alice Marble, then champion of the world. We lost. Most unusual. The 18-year-old singer, Frankie Avalon, was signed for the Alan Ladd picture, " Guns Of The Timberland,'' and he actually gets to sing two numbers in the film. Singers usually don't — especially in a dramatic picture. . . . James Garner assures me positively this coming season is his last with "Maverick." "Always leave 'em wanting more," explains James, who will have starred in the series for three years by the time he quits in the late spring of 1960. British actor Roger Moore was looking for a theme song for his new series, "The continued on page 8 ENROUTE to Italy, Gina Lollobrigida and Dr. Skofic dine at New York's Harwyn Club. .. ; ■ BACK after a long stay ui Europe, Charlton Heston gets local news from Hope Lange.
