Have you a teenager in your
family? If so, this column is
for you.
Have you been shopping for
clothes with your teenager rec-
ently? Then read on, friends,
and identify with me.
As most of you know, I am
the mother of two teenagers ---
a boy and a girl. They are both
alright kids as far as I'm conc-
erned... and although I beef a
godd deal, I wouldn't want to
be without either one of them.
I learned quite a while ago
that it is best not to force my
clothes sense upon my kids. I
may be able to convince them
while shopping that such and
such an item of clothing is the
best style and the most econom-
ical, but nine times out of ten
I'll find that article occupying
space at the far back of the
closet where it is out -of -sight
and maybe even out -of -mind.
That piece of clothing then,
becomes much more expensive
than the $24. 98 item which is
worn day in and day out, for
everything from school to basket•
ball games and dances. Maybe
others of you have had the
same experience.
So, when my teenagers and
1 go shopping for clothes, I am
usually nothing more than the
chaperone to the big city... and
the financier for the spending.
I'm often called upon to pass
an opinion and to check for fit,
but other than that I have
little to say... even though I'm
often eager to pass judgement.
If any of you parents have
been shopping for teenagers'
clothes this fall, you will know
that a great change has crane
over the teenage fashion world
...and it is taking me (and even
my teenagers) some time to get
Used to it.
In fact, my teenaged son
came home from our recent
jaunt feeling very blue. Said
he, " Mom I'm old-fashioned
already. I can't find anything
I like. "
It was true. For three of my
son's teenaged years, he's worn
the tight jeans --or maybe the
Western Flowering Dogwood
is sometimes used for piano
keys.

ones with the flared bottoms.
But this fall, all the "in" places
are showing something called
"baggies" for girls and for boys.
Believe me, these creations
are a sudden departure from
what the kids have been wearing
and the older kids are a little
rebellious.
Baggies are everything the
tried and proven jeans were not.
Although some of them are
shown in permanent -press denim,
the waist bands are wide and are
tucked under the arm -pits rather
than on the hips as previously.
The portion that fits over the
buttocks is cut to fit easily...
not skin tight as before. And
the legs. The legs are full-blown
and as the name implies ---
baggy. The bottoms are cuffed.
and possibly 24 inches around.
And they are long, long, long.
They must cover the shoes ent-
irely,
But the shoes to be worn with
"baggies" must be a certain
type even though you don't see
them. They must be heavy for
boys and chunky for girls. If
they don't look like army surp-
lus boots, forget it.
Our daughter is intrigued by
the "layered look." We've
been shopping for blouses to go
under sweaters and sweaters to
go over sweaters and blouses to
top everything. The one thing
n ice about it is that there's
infinite variety. It doesn't seem
to matter which goes on top of
what. Everything's really groov-
ey.
And the dresses. I tell you
honestly. Our daughter bought
a dress -for school,- which is the
exact same style to one she
wore when she was two years
old. It has the same puffed
sleeves, the same smocking,
the same Peter Pan collar, the
same shapelessness. And what's
more, it is the same length. , . .
short enough to show the parit-
ies if the wearer carelessly bends
down.
After our last outing, the
children modelled their new
wardrobes for their father. He
watched silently as they paraded
back and forth .
"What do you think?" asked
the kids. "It is damn ridiculous"
he exclaimed, after consider-
able thought. "If they would
take some of the material out
of the pant legs and tack it onto
the skirts, they'd be doing
something. "
He went back to his paper,
another disheartened dad,
