I there's nothing QUITE LIKE AIKASELTZER FOR FASTREUEFEROM HEADACHE My Teen-age Mistakes (Continued from page 63) it once. What a miserable, ill-at-ease time I had! All because the suit was ultra grown-up and I wasn’t. It took a lot of patience on the part of my mother and Edith Head, who designs clothes for Paramount stars, to teach me to look at the costume on me, not the herd. Not all girls, unfortunately, can have an Edith Head to guide them. But today, magazines devote pages to good solid advice for teen-agers. I encountered the dating problem later than most girls because most of the time I was the only student in the studio school, and therefore had little opportunity to meet boys my own age. My first date was for a high-school senior prom. I was excited, scared and painfully self-conscious. I would have given anything to know the girls in that high school, to have chatted with them about what to wear and what to say. As it turned out, they talked about how tough their English teacher was, the football team’s chances and all the other interests teen-agers usually have. They were relaxed and themselves. Later dating brought up the problem of how late I could stay out. By the time I was eighteen, my mother and father occasionally let me stay out until one or two but usually I had to be in by midnight. I thought I should be permitted to go out every night and stay out until two or three. They tried to make me understand that I couldn’t keep those hours and expect to accomplish anything during the day. But I yelled and yelled about “never forgiving unless. . .’’ Finally Father said, “All right, you’ve got the ball now. See how far you can run with it.” I did and fell flat on my career. Those late hours I kept showed up in “Our Hearts Were Growing Up.” I nearly broke mine. I’m ashamed of my work in that picture. Every teen-ager has just as important and demanding a career in school, only the results of late hours don’t show up quite as quickly. I feel it is tragic to be content to just “get by” in anything. The teen years should be the keen years. Keen to get all the benefit of studies which equip an adult to lead a full, happy life. How well I remember a stormy scene at three-thirty one morning. My escort and I had just arrived home from a party. Father met us and in no uncertain terms threw the full blame on the boy. He had told him he could never take me out again before I could get a word in. It took me a while to explain that I was the one at fault. The boy had urged me several times to call home so my parents wouldn’t worry. Eager to appear sophisticated. I’d assured him it wasn’t necessary. When a boy is unjustly accused, he’s apt to think a long time before he asks the inconsiderate girl out again. In my expierience, a girl determines the hour to go home. She should have consideration for her escort and her parents. Yet I was afraid everyone would think I was a drip if I did. That again is the herd instinct — not wanting to be different. The real sophisticates are alert, healthy persons who know where they’re going. And chaperones! Mother and I have had some hot discussions over that matter. The fuss first came up when several girls and I planned a beach party. Mother said I couldn’t go without a chaperone. I was indignant. Mother was adamant. Now I understand it was for my own ssifety. All I have to do is pick up the papers. Young, unchaperoned girls have fallen quite innocently into tragic experiences.
