What caught our eye, though, was the youthful commentator'sviews on how to develop a charming tele- phone personality. "It pays to be polite and friendly on the phone," she said, "in that way boys will phone you more often. Be cheerful on the phone and when a boy calls always• answer like your're glad to hear from him. After all, he may not be calling for a date .may- be he just wants to ask you a question about the local swim- ming meet. Or, he might just want to chat with you." Then she advised young readers to be careful how they accept or refuse dates over the phone. If you want to accept don't play coy and be hard to get, give' him a direct answer. "Why yes, I'd like that very much." If you have to turn, him down, however, this requires more tact so that you on't hurt his feelings. You might say .something like this, "Oh, thank you so much for the invitation, but I'm afraid I've already made- plans for the evening." As a final word of advice she said, "Yakking for hours on the phone ,shows lack of consideration and does not help your popularity at home or with your friends outside."
