ONE of the unenjoyablest evenings I ever spent was when, about a year ago, i went on a chi-chi date, all done up in orchids and satins. Attempting to swish into a swanky night club, I found myself surrounded by Marlene Dietrich, Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth and some other glamorous stars. Which made me look silly and feel sillier. I don’t smoke, don’t drink, was simply out of place and my escort was simply out of money.
Which reminds me — one of the biggest mistakes teen-age kids make is spending too much money. A fellow can take a girl out and have an awfully good time on three or four dollars — maybe less. There isn’t any need to put on a big show by spending twenty-five. I’ve got smart enough to know that I can have better fun by going to a movie and enjoying a soda afterwards then I can by going to Mocambo or the Cocoanut Grove. I’ve learned there isn’t any point in rushing things.

While other kids of my age were having fun at football games, dances and parties, I was a bookworm. When I graduated, I had the highest average in my class. So what? So I wish I’d had a high average of dates, beaux, romances — which makes a better basis for living later on. For when I stepped out of my ivory tower in my senior year and went to my first dance, I was shy, gauche, unpopular. My escort gave me the brush-off as soon as he could. No one cut in on me. I was a wallflower, a desperately unhappy one. The result was, I had to work like a stevedore for what should have been a natural course of teen-age events.

Who says modern youth doesn't give with the truth?

MY worst mistake was never wanting to be me. I was forever copying and imitating older girls, especially movie stars. One day I posed around like Katharine Hepburn; the next day, Joan Crawford; the day after that, I was Bette Davis all over the lot, and so on.
The result was that I've had quite a time finding out what I am all about; what I want; what I'm best fitted to do in life and why.
I've had to develop a style of dressing, a way of doing my hair, and it had to be my own style and way, not Claudette Colbert's or Veronica Lake's.
It's all right to be a chameleon if you were born a chameleon . . . it's very confusing to be a chameleon when you were born a girl.
