WEST -END GMAGE Cali 3484932 _ MITCHELL He's Worth Hanging On To DEAR DORIS—Last summer I wrote to you about how 1 wouldn't be able to face the man. Fd marry with the burns on my chest. You said that if the man lov- ed me enough he wouldn't care how Amy chest looked. Well, since then I met a boy of 20 (I am also 20) and last week I told him about the burns on my chest, We talked about it for an hour or, so, and he told me, "You forget one important fac- tor: beauty is only skin deep." I asked him how he could still care for me, and he said: "It's you, isn't it, and I dove 'you." He has made me so happy that I could cry. Now I feet I can go through anything with hire by my side. , Joy DEAR JOY—I'm thrilled too. Now there's a young man who has his values straight! Hang on! DEAR DORIS—The nice let- ter I received from you a cou- ple of years ago has prompted me to write to you again. My daughter, who is 14, is trying to make up her mind whether to continue with the arts and science subjects or to change over to commercial. She is ,just an average student. Jane's Mother DEAR MOTHER—Not' all ca- reers call for a university edu- cation, but "commercial" is not the only alternative. Examine first. what her apti- tudes are. If she is basically cut out to work with people, this might indicate a nursing or nursing assistant's course; if she enjoys cooking—should she be a dietitian? Skill with hands and fingers may point to hair- dressing. Or perhaps her flair for English does indicate a fu- ture at a typewriter. I'd urge her to talk with her guidance counsellor or, teacher, so that her accomplishments and interests may be linked up with possible lines of study. My article on "Choosing A Career" may help, too, It is on its way. (And may ,be had by anyone writing in and enclosing ten cents and •a stamped envelope.) DEAR DORIS--I was widowed and raised- two boys, and am now 42. I met a very fine man of 45 a, short time ago; he has met the children and they are very fond of him. My ,friends think it silly of me to consider marriage at this point of the game. They tell me I am free now and 'say the most discouraging things. They tell me I don't know him; that I've 'never seen him under various situations and conditions. He would like a family of his own, and this I .can appreciate, although 1 wonder at my age if I m too old. I enjoy his com- pany very much. Am I taking a big risk, as people say 1 am?. Risk or Not? DEAR RISK—Any marriage is a gamble! You are the one who knows the loneliness of paddling your own canoe—not your too -wise friends. You have a Tot of life ahead of you. If you don't know your man well, get to know him better. 'Adjusting ourselves and our lives to another is tougher as we get set in our ways; , but more mature marriages have been . known to . surpass first loves! DEAR DORIS — Before my sister Ieft for an unknown des- tination in Australia, she gave a farewell party. As I was about to be married she asked me if I would like to hold my reception at the same time. This Iagreed to and gave her $15 towards the cost of the hall. I now have a letter from the owner of the hall saying there is an outstanding bill of $30. It appears my sister had not paid up. They say I am responsible. How can this be, when I took no part in the actual deal? Anxious • DEAR ANXIOUS—I can't see it either; but isn't he lust look- ing for a way of getting paid? And are you willing to worry 30 dollars' worth rather than pay hien? How about a dupli- cate bill from hurl to: pass on to your sister when "you hear from her? Then pay him your- self, but get his promise to re- pay you when a cheque comes from "down under". DEAR DORIS—I worry about my daughter, 9, and stepson, 11. They are much closer than she is with her real brother, and I 'can see problems arising in the future, as even now at her young age .I am constantly checking ort those two if they are in the same room alone. What advice can you give me to calm some of my anxiety? I can't see myself worrying over this kind of thing ter all those Years ahead of me,; Xiafe4 'betty ei a.v DEARBETTY During those early years youngsters explore everything. That's how they learn. This. includes discover- ing what they can about their bodies and .anybody .else's—es- pecially those which, seem to be somewhat different. It's a pity that the hush-hush we put an sex carries over to make our children guilty and secretive at this stage. Your best move is to open the subject just as naturally as you'd explain the,, movements of the moon and stars. Clear up their' wonderments about their anatomical differences—and all the' rost—rerdern?ering to in- clude some reference to modes- ty and keeping the discussion inside the f t', Wa11s, rm sending you u,y list of recommended books mi the facts of life, several of which you will find wonderfully help- ful. DEAR DORIS—We are tWo ,desperate girls, very shy and very skitin M; When boys dance with us or walk us home, • we never know what to say. Last week some real nice fellows tried to walk us, home but we clammed up and they left, thinking they didn't rate. We have become so desperate to forget about our problems that we have begun to drink when we go out. We realize this is wrong, but it is the only solution we know. Silent and Skinny DEAR S. & .. : I -couldn't think of a worse solution. Alco- hol may looser, your tongue but it can also loosen.your emotions and mean real trouble.. Do you suppose all the other girls wehe'born with witty re- marks on the tips of their tongues? Or with Marilyn Mon- roe figures? Think again! I'm sending you two °leaflets: (1) Chart for Curves, and (2) Tips on Talking. When you drink • in what they tell you You'll be drowning your sor- rows permanently. (Note to other Bashful Viol- ets: You may also •have these leafllets by sending in ' a stamped, self-addressed envel- ope and ten cents for each ont.) DEAR DORIS — My husband aqd I do not agree on the -'sub- ject of religion. It is just that I should like to keep on being a member of a church, whereas he is rather skeptical about churches in general and their teachings. His father is even more critical of the church. • We have no children as yet; but I am sure my husband will be a wonderful father so far as playing with his children and teaching them is . concerned. However, the question of their religious education bothers me. How could I tactfully broach this subject? Bothered DEAR BOTHERED - Don't pressure him. Carry the torch -for him as women have done' over the years. If you can keep building your own spiritual resources you'll be paving the way for your chil- dren;S religious education—and for your own dear skeptic's grasp of higher values when the going gets. tough. Would there be a church cou- ples' club he could be intrigued into socializing with once in a while? NEWS OF WALTON a p!
