steadies.” This is supposed to make you believe they can go back to those girls and leave you heartbroken. But it doesn’t work. The girls don’t believe it at all. Almost as annoying as talking about ex-girlfriends is all of the chatter about cars. At least that’s what Janie Hagan and Thelma Mechin feel. “Even at dances you run into it,” Janie reports. “Two or three fellows get together and right away it’s cars . . . cars . . . cars!” “Sports, too,” Barbara Levick chimes in. “Most girls don’t know that much about them and really feel left out. How would it be if we just talked about clothes or hair? The guys would run off screaming.” Most of the girls feel that many fellows forget that girls don’t study up on these subjects the way they do. “It’s too much to expect a girl to know all of the batting averages of the Yankees or Braves,” Claire Kenny protests. “And while I’m willing to pretend I’m interested, just to be agreeable, I think it’s too much to have to go through an entire evening putting on an act. A fellow should at least try to find some subject that interests us, too.” “Sure, how about records, books, television shows, or even what might have happened at school?” Maryann Gaynor suggests. But what can a girl really do about it when there are things about a boy that drive her mad? “Change a boy?” moaned Frannie Giordano. “Who can?” Well, since we boys have to live together with you girls, somebody’s got to try. Let’s dig up some rules to start by: 1. If you’re going to change him, never let him know you’re trying. 2. If he acts like he’s too good for you, remember that behind that superior air may lurk an inferiority complex. Try to understand what makes him act like that. 3. If you don’t like the way he fumbles, help him become more sure of himself by praising the little things about him that made you first go out with him. 4. If he’s jealous, think back to the time the two of you ran into that other boy. Did you just say a friendly “Hello,” or did you gab on and on about things that made your date feel left out? If you can honestly say it’s not your fault that he’s jealous, then take a long long look at what’s wrong with your relationship. 5. If all he ever wants to do is come on over to your house, it may be because he’s short on his allowance. Next time he calls, put on your sweetest, friendliest manner and say something like: “Mom and Dad say that even if I have company, they don’t want to watch ‘Maverick.’ ” Then suggest something that won’t cost too much money, like walking over to the “Y” to see what the gang’s up to or having a look at that great new ride over at the amusement park. 6. If you think you’ll flip your wig if he says one more sentence about baseball or sports cars, just look interested and hope that he’ll grow out of it. If he doesn’t, then keep doing your best to share his interests. Look at the brighter side — you can get a great tan watching a drag race. After all, girls, I’m pretty sure you’ll find that the fellows aren’t too bad. That’s just about the way the fellows have it figured out about you, too, if memory serves. Boys really like girls and girls really like boys — and isn’t it nice that it worked out that way? See you next month — if I don’t hear from you before. — DICK TV & MOVIE STAR PHOTOS Brand new stars and brand new pictures! PLUS your favorites!
