1978 Ls THE CSHA'VA TIMES, Fridoy, Novembsr 28, | MARY HAWORTH' 5 MAIL DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Our! ; marriage is very happy but we have one disappointment. To be frank. our daughter, now 14, is _ very homely. This is very dis- E appointing because both of us f were very attractive in our vounger days and received many ? honors and preferences, due to ¢ our good looks in those years. We don't have the money to pay - professionals to beautify Polly /T'll call her); and believe me they are the only ones who could help. Now don't get us wrong: we do love her. But we feel we just have to write and get your \guidance. Dyeing her hair, eye- brows and lashes, and using makeup hasn't helped at all. Please answer we need good sound advice at once. E.D. PARENTS' VANITY DEAR E. D.: I am willing to, bet money that it isn't Polly's homeliness per se, but rather, your misconception of what con- stitutes bone-deep human attrac- tiveness, that is giving you trouble. and handicapping her. bed gather that you, the worried critics, set too much store by "looks." You expect looks, in terms of calendar art sex appeal, to do the lion's share of the work. in winning a person's way to what he (or she) may want in society In truth, however, it isn't a child's physical looks, so much AFTERNOON TEA TEMPTERS Butter-Rich Shortbread Wears A Cherry-Nut Marshmallow Top MARSHMALLOW SQUARES (Makes 6 Dozen) Even though it seems ages away, Christmas will be here be- fore you can say "fruitcake", <o| 3; cup butter now is the time for all good|1/3 cup brown sugar cooks to begin collecting special| 1; cups sifted all-purpose flour recipes, 2 tablespoons unflavored Here is a new cookie bar that gelatin you'll find pink, pretty and dif-| 2 cup cold water ferent.

And I suspect it is Polly's poor showing, in your estimation, in social situations and scholarship, as compared to other children, that gets your goat. It weighs upon you as a great disappoint- ment--and she feels that. As a matter. of family tradition and parental pride, you'd like Polly to be an easy favorite in her age-group on the basis of looks, just as you were, "away back when." Thus you feel per- sonally cheated, obscurely humil- liated, and dissatisfied with her, because she hasn't got the same winning cards that Nature dealt you. But here is a fact for your con- sideration. A healthy, happy, emotionally secure, well-groomed, confidently outgoing child, oc- cupied with a variety of interests and enthusiasms, and equipped with several skills--the ability to swim, skate, dance, ride, act in school plays, paint scenery or what-have-you--will win friends and a following, even with a face as homely as mud.
