Young Moderns
Parents Pose
Problems for
Younger Set
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeature Writer
“MY PARENTS are going to Eu
rope for a couple of months, and I
am staying home,” writes a 17-
year-old boy. “They have given
me permission to have mixed par
ties while they are away. My
steady girl say she will not visit
my house while my parents are
away. She thinks my parents are
out of order and says her parents
would be shocked at the idea. I
told her my parents had confidence
in me, and that she should see it
that way. Don’t you think she
is showing a lack of trust in me?”
The question is not that your
parents have confidence in you, and
that therefore the girl should, but
rather that the other parents do
not have confidence in you perhaps,
in a situation such as you suggest.
Therefore, the girl has reasonable
doubts. Even in this day of re
laxed discipline, it is considered
bad taste for a girl to be alone
with a boy in such a situation
though others of her age are pres
ent. Perhaps she and her parents
could be appeased by the presence
of a chaperone, and if you object
to that, they are justified in their
criticism.
Formal Dance
“My parents have invited my boy
friend to a dance at a club. My
father says the boy should wear
formal clothes. The boy says he
does not have a tuxedo, and will
nqt borrow one as he pi’efers to
wear, a dark suit. I am wearing
a formal evening gown. Should I
try to persuade my father to agree
that my date would be properly
attired in the dai'k suit?” That’s
a letter from a 16-year-old girl.
As a member of a club, your
father is committed to observing
the rules, so if he suggests formal
attire, it must be the order for
that evening. If the boy stubborn
ly refused to go along with the
idea, you should get another date.
Discuss the situation with your fa
ther, however. Many clubs are not
strict about such matters, and your
father may have mentioned formal
attire without considering the
young man’s ward robe. Some
young men have a definite dislike
of formal clothes being foisted or
them, and often it is bashfulnesj
that keeps them from climbing in*
to these duds. Once he has been
seasoned, the social bit comes eas
ier to a young fellow.
Love or Grades?
“My father is a college professor.
I attend the school where he
teaches and we live near the uni
versity. I have an attractive boy
friend, although I am overweight
and not very pretty. We have a
hobby of photography. This boy
was in one of my father’s classes
last year, and my father did give
him some special attention. I have
not heard from him since school
was out, and my girl friend says
he was only interested in my fa
ther’s tutoring, and that I will not
hear from him until next fall, if
then. ”
I would not worry about what
the friend thinks. Your guess is
as good as hers in this case, and
she is being very unkind to make
such comments. If the boy does
communicate with you, don’t re
mind him of the lapse. It could
be that this boy does consider you
a good friend, and has no serious
intentions.
