Actions always mean more TIPS FOR TEENS 'Why Tell a Girl She's Sweet By ~wINOR WILLIAMS fo, (2 4 Here's a tip from the he-man department, girls. A letter from a masculihe reader: "Why is it when a boy tells a girl that she is sweet they all ans. wer, 'Am I?' I know I'm not the only boy who has received this answer. It seems kind of silly to me. At least they could say thank you once in a while if a fellow thinks that much of them, I would like to see your opinion of this in the column." Answer--Evidently you've told several girls recently that they're sweet. Better watch that line, brother! Girls sometimes com- pare notes, you know, just as boys do. Why tell a girl she's sweet? Why not simply let her guess how you feel about her or try to show it by taking her to special school affairs or by being very nice to than words. It's sometimes hara for a girl to know how to reply to a compliment from a boy she admires very much. But you can be sure that she's pleased that you think she's pretty special, even 'if her answer isn't the smoothc . one. (Suggestion for girls: Next time your dates comes up with a compliment simply smile or reply something like this: "Thank you; I'm glad you think so," or "Thank you; it's nice of you to say so.") "Whén a boy dates you, should he wait for you in the car or come in for a while?" asks a high school girl. Answer--He should come inside, But be ready, except for your coat, so that he won't run out of small talk with your family. It's less embarrassing for Jim if you don't prolong this con. versation. Just take time to put on your coat before saying good- night to the family and leaving with him, (For tips on the care of oily hair and dandruff write to Elinor Williams at this paper, enclosing | self-addressed enve- | a stamped, lope.) 2) NNS% ARVELOUS MAKEUP GIFT SET ® Face Powder, Rouge and Lipstick . . . a combina- tion of lovely preparations to enchant a dis- 52.25 criminating lady.
