Before I stepped into the -“gteam shower,” she explained that I was to breathe naturally and rub salt on my body. A tile room full of billowy.steam, the shower is part of a relaxing treatment, usually followed by a massage.

Teen Problems—

By JEAN THE HOLIDAY ‘season is on. its way. There'll be Christmas soon, school proms, club wing-dings and private dances. Formal parties! D'you know the ropes? A really formal affair calls for a formal invitation. And for an - equally formal reply. The bids are mailed out two or three weeks in advance. They may be engraved or hand-writ-ten; but they'll always be | phrased in the somewhat stilted style of tradition. Answer them jn the same vein, ' boys and girls. “John Albert (or Mary Louise) Jones accepts with pleasure Send your reply promptly, neatly penned on your most -conservative white | ote. S-paper.

IT'S NOT necessary to have a date before accepting. an invitation to & ‘private dance. This is true for Sirls as well as for boys. There'll be plenty of’ other singletons, so don’t be bashful “ about going on your own, If, however, John wants to escort Sue, he may ask her any

party. Last minute dates for a formal dance are poor form, fella. But make sure your gal has received a bonafide bid. Bringipg along a strange gal
