Love Nobody, in Tennis?
By Kite Turmoil

In tennis your social score can
be "love nobody" especially
you. if you are too intent on win
ming or self-enjoyment to play up
to the sporting rules which will
enable you to make smash hit"
in any game.
In a boy-girl game. it is not
necessary for the boy to treat the
girl with date-style gallantry. In
active sports, each player Is on
his or her own. However, it is
courteous to make the less expert
player feel at ease. You do not
serve "easy balls" or miss plays
purposely, to humor one who has
less speed or skill than you, but
you do not grandstand to call
attention to your superiority as a
tennis player.
The game is more apt to be
success socially If you are fairly
well-matched, or If the beginner
is eager to learn from the better
player.
According to the standard rules,
you start with toss-up to decide
which side should choose and
serve first. After that, in doubles,
partners agree on which of the two
serves first. Usually, this is the
girl or the less experienced player,
in order that the stronger player
may serve later when there is
more need for punch-play.
Often, partners debate which
should play net and which should
be in the back at the start of
doubles. In boy-girl games, many
girls are timid about starting at
net. They should not be, because
experts say if you keep your eye
on the ball. it is easier to play at
net. In fact, there is an unwritten
rule that advanced players in
doubles often start in net and
back positions, but then both try
to play net to conserve footwork
and to be within better reach as
the balls come over.
At the start there should be
some agreement about paying for

OPERATION ZOO-Oh, to be
a zoologist! Yet teens needn't
study zoology in order to enjoy
that magic world. the ZOO. When
We were small. parents or teach
ers managed to drag us through
the park. while we screamed and
romped. But now there's always
something better TO do besides
"zooing.' Yet with a little initia-
tive, teens can discover a new
world in the zoo. A picnic lunch
packed, a camera over one Shoul-
der. bare legs. or jeans and
the day is set. A crowd of teens
wandering from the bear cage to
the monkey house will find great
fun in feeding peanuts and photo
graphing the animals. The girls
will shudder at the snakes. the
boys will laugh at the walrus.
After the rounds have been made,
try settling on grassy spot for
lunch, consisting of stuffed toma-
toes and cheese spread sand
wicheS. For extra interest carry
those cameras and take really
good snaps J.. that can be COM
pared for novelty. shadows or
humor after developing.
HIDDEN TASTE-Teens shy
away from onions but can be
fooled with one teens concoction.
American cheese is mashed with
a small piece of onion or garlic
F.. Just enough to flavor it. Then
the onion is removed. Add a little
and mix it up. The
result is a cheese spread with

MUSIC LOWDOWN - Teens
know their barroom style music
in "The Piano Roll Blues" Fol-
lowing through now. is The Old
Pianola" in the same style, and
sung by the Jubilators. Teens
try to initiate this type of music
on the piano and have great fun
with it. Could Dixieland music
have originated here?

STARVATION DIET-To most
teens, going on diet means slow.
deliberate starvation. Dietitians
have studied weight control for
some time. and have come to the
conclusion that salt is a major
factor in poundage. Complete
substraction of salt from a teens
diet prevents liquids from being
stored in the glands. which in
turn substractS pounds. No STAR
vation. One helping of every
thing. And why not try CHINA
mon instead? Or paprika?

RIBBONS AND BOWS-Light
scarves have hibernated for the
and are being replaced
by ribbons. Velvet is the top win
ner, worn in numerous ways :.
tied or pinned at the throat. Con-
trasting or matching an outfit,
ribbons in the hair or around the
neck add just enough style to any
outfit. Rayon polka dots or stripes
are way ahead now.
" y X II
NAIL KNOWLEDGE-To keep
those nails smooth and rounded,
a teen must ritually file them. But
manicure-wise teens know that
nail files scratch and roughen
nails. Emery boards should be
used for smoothing, first one side,
then the other for finish. Metal
files tend to make nails split and
crack. Try an emery board.
They cost little and should be re-
placed occasionally.
