I do believe, however, that married people should have the same broad interests. I will not be engaged again until I am ready to announce the date of my marriage. That doesn’t mean I want an overnight romance. I feel it is important to know a man well before you marry him. But I do feel that the engagement period, gay and romantic as it is, is a strain. And when you are ready for the responsibilities of marriage, the wedding should follow soon after your decision is made. When I became twenty-one, my parents turned the management of my finances over to me. They approved when I purchased an apartment house. But when I announced I was going to live in one of the apartments alone, they were taken aback. Most girls make that break through college, a job in another town or marriage. But my career is the same as it was when I was a grammar-school student. There was no outside force compelling me to leave the home they provided me. Just my desire to live alone. I argued that a girl of twenty-one should have the responsibility of looking after herself completely. I granted I’d make mistakes but insisted I’d learn a great deal by the experience. Finally they became reconciled to the idea. (LEARNED it was one thing to plan an apartment in beautiful period pieces and another to actually do it. When I discovered the cost of my original idea, I quickly and willingly compromised on an Early American decor. All the hours of hard work I did with the interior decorators taught me to appreciate how much care, thought and money goes into creating a home. And how much maintenance. Now I’m frantic if I discover a dirty ash tray. I know that when you leave the heat on unnecessarily it shows up on the bill. The same with lights. I know that I must line up the work for the cleaning woman to get the full value of my money in service. I’m now a real “a place for everything and everything in its place” person. And I’m more budget conscious. My parents have learned to like my independence, too. When we get together, which is several times a week, we have so much to talk about, we enjoy each other’s compzmy more than we ever have before. We’re real friends. Now Mother and Father have bought an apartment house next door to me. They suggested that we not make a habit of dropping in on each other unannounced. We always telephone to make sure a visit is convenient. That gesture makes me realize they are content that I have come safely through my teens. And that they’re pleased. So, take the advice of Old Lady Lynn, lucky enough not to have been hurt permanently by her teen-age mistakes. If you’re in your teens now, don’t be so sure your parents are old fogies trying to keep you from being like the other kids. In these flashy forties, we’re singing the samj songs they sang in the torrid twenties. Don’t you know they were in their teens in a torrid time? They sang, “I’m Looking over a Four-Leaf Clover,” “The Best Things in Life Are Free,” and a lot of the other songs we sing today. In a different tempo, it’s true. But the words and the meaning are still the same. They read books which make “Forever Amber” seem even duller reading. They were teen-agers themselves once. That’s why they make such wonderful “stop, look and listen” signs for you today. Teen-agers do grow up. Then they discover how much brighter their parents are than they seemed. It’s such a painfully confusing time. I’m glad I’m twenty-one. The End Sx4fiu&ite RING BARGAINS SEND NO MONEY! Just pay Postman C.O-D. on delivery amount plus 20%CovemTax and postage.
