man." groaned Pat. Can you line
up some questions and answers for
me?"
My library shelves are crowded
with teen-age dating-guide books.
So. when Pat dropped in. he took
ample notes from some and bor-
rowed two books that rank tops on
supplying date information for
boys. One is Questions Boys Ask"
by David w. Armstrong, national
director, Boys Club of America. The
other is "He-Manners, Young Mans
Book of Etiquette" by Robert H.
Loeb. jr.
Pats concern prompted me to
give you a few high points from
both books. Here are five of the
top questions answered in Mr..
Armstrong; book.
How do / get dates with girls?
Talk with girls in school, mix with
them at church functions or youth
organization affairs. Get acquainted
with them in your neighborhood. If
you feel shy. perhaps friend will
arrange a double-date. And Mr..
Armstrong has this to say about
that "shrinking-violet feeling;
There are as many girls as an
xious to be. asked as you are to
ask them"
What's my responsibility for a
girl ON a date? See that she comes
to no harm from anything or any
body, including yourself. Get her
home when her parents expect her.
Convince her parents you are re-
liable.
Who pays for what? If the
Dutch Treats"-whereby boy and
girl pay equal shares-become pop
ular in your crowd. it's all right.
But if boy asks a girl to a dance
or to q soda, he should pay the
freight" Paying the bill by man
is one Of the little niceties Of life.
Ask any independent boy or date
wise girl.
What about late hours? Your

is to get along well in school. You

You can't have a hangover and

hand has got to be steady. You

can't do it if you are out many
evenings during the week. Restrict
your late dates to week ends and
get plenty of sleep.
What does il take to be popular?
Mr.. Armstrong observes that the
most important element IN being
popular is to be considerable of
others and 20 like other people.
Don't twit a stout girl by calling
her Fatty" and don't taunt others
about their mistakes or failures.
Revising Ideas
Quoting from He Manners" Q
breezy fun-to-read etiquette guide.
young men should revise some
wrong ideas they may have picked
up ON what girls like or dislike.
One major mistake is to assume
girls like the Caveman approach.
Most don't! Today's girl does not
consider herself a helpless. timide
little robot, subject to her masters
bidding. She wants freedom OF
choice, freedtm of action; she
wants to be sold a genuine bill
of goods and not dubbed" into
submission.
Another wrong idea is that talk
ing with girls is different and diff
cult, so why bother since actions
speak louder than words? faint
so, because. "Today's girl may be
tomorrow CongreSSwoman or am
bassador or olympic star. Her in
