Baby Sitters Express
Views About Parents

For girls aging 13 to 18 and
for boys ranging 13 to 16, a big
operation, a good occupation and
a source of income, baby-sitting
fills the bill.
Undoubtedly the parents of
America have great faith in teen
ayers as they leave them con-
stantly caring for their sweet
little children CD Both the sit
tiers, par ents, and sitter's par
ents have gripes about this
job, so here goes:
A tally of two boys and three
girls shows that 35 to so cents per
hour is the large charge. All five
agreed that boys are easier to
tend, and for kid-limit, 2 or 3
is fine, and 4 to 6 is ghastly!
"We want something left to
eat, and are not there to clean
house and wash dishes, but to
baby-sit." said the quintet.

Contour: This word, in gen.

a figure, and in fashion it means
the same. A few years ago, it
named the contour belt, curved
and shaped to flatter the waist
line; this year it moves upward
and downward from the waist to
name a dress silhouette. The
contour dress is one OF falls ia
vorites. Shaped to duplicate
faithfully the lines of the female
form, the bodice is reminiscent
of the high-cut Empire shape,
the waist scanned in princess
fashion and the skirt skin tight.
The contour dress is often one

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

] am going to quote from a let
ter I recently received from a
young girl. She says, I'm IA
years old and have long hair on
my arms and legs. My mother
says I am too young to shave.
For a while I did it secretly and
she did not know it. Once she
nearly caught me and have
been frightened to do it since.
Do you think l am too young to
shave my arms and legs?"
This seems to be an unhappy
problem for many very young
women. In many instances the
young girl is extreme in her atti-
tude. The hair is not really es-
pecially noticeable. However, in
many other instances she does
have an unusually heavy growth.
In these cases, I think that the
child should definitely be urged
to use razor or a depilatory.
Young people are not tactful.
They do not intend to be unkind,
but, without a thought, they
mention such things to the vic
tim. Repeated experience such
as this can have far-reaching
effect on the personality of the
young girl. She is especially sem
sitive at this age; she wants to
belong, to be thought attractive.
to be liked. 1t is crucial mat
ter with her and she has not yet
the maturity to straighten out
her values.
If you can give her a boost in
her own ego and with her crowd,
why not let her remove superf1u-
Gus hair? I suppose many
mothers think that this will
make the hair grow in thicker
I have never found any sound
evidence that this is true and
have seen many instances in
which it was not true. think
a depilatory is wiser because
shaving does leave the en0S OF
the hair blunter.
There is one thing to remem-
ber. Often girls have a heavier
growth of hair on the legs and
arms at this age. Later it light
ems. The glands are in an up
roar during teen-age. However,
when this condition begins to
affect your daughters happiness
and her success with her crowd
and at school, my advice is to
allow her to remove the hair.
After all, you are not taking out
her tonsils to make her popular,
but are only letting her indulge
in simple good grooming habit.
If you would like to have my
leaf1et designed especially for
teen-agers, send a stamped, self
addressed enveloped with your
request for No. SO. Popularity, u
