Teen Topics— Shilly-Shallying Indicates [mmaturity

By SALLY HERE'S A BIT of advice. Form the habit of making up your mind quickly about little things Shilly-shallying over where vou're going or when or with whom! It's a dead give-away.

How about Les ¢o to

Shows your immaturity, your lack of poise, your social ineptness. Ever see a bunch of boys and girls trying to get going? -Someone suggests the movies Another mentions Brown's Eatery. The rest have that timid. don’t-care-if-I-do attitude. Or else the whole crowd argues for hours. Literally getting nowhere, ~ » n IF A PLAN'S afoot, be definite about it. State your preference without any shy-violet modesty Then, if the ma jority turns against vou, follow their suggestions goodhumoredly. Take the bull by the horns when there seems (0 be no hope of concerted action, Insist on dong something and doing it at once, Ten to one, the rest will fall in with your plan-—and like it Nothing is more frustrating than an evening wasted in trying to decide what to do!
