The Mature Parend—
By MURIEL LAWRENC E'S A BOY who's been trained to hold on to what he knows. Recently he attended a big teen-age
party. At midnight he asked for the telephone to tell his parents he’d be later than he'd planned. After making his call he returned to his companions to be greeted with derisive jeer, “Why didn't. you tell them to mind their own business?” he © was asked. “Why didn’t you i say you're gonna live your own life? What's the idea acccunting to them for what you do?” As I said, he's a boy who has been educated to believe what he knows, not what other people know. So he grinned at his mockers and said pleasantly, “You're nuts. 1 called my parents because -1 like them.” If anyone had had a pin to drop, I'm told all could have heard it. Hostility toward us is increasing in young

ones about theirs? ‘ @ oe < oo WE HAVE been repeatedly told that adolescense is the age of revolt. Now let the experts sound off on what this expectation of rebellion an do to us. 7 Let them say, “Your expectation of revolt can betray you into accepting degrees of it that are not normal, not reasomable, not wholesome, It can bheguile you into answering not your child's gripes, but the gripes of the Toms, Dicks and Harrys that composed his crowd.’ “It can lure you into defending yourself 4gainst complaints blown up into solemn indictmentg by your child's acceptance of mob feeling and thought.

Pak-A-Set Is Great For Traveling
By BETTY LOCHER Times Fashion Editor
EACH SEASON the ingenuity of Amer- ~ ican designers brings us clever practical fashion ideas that streamline our hectic daily living. Newest travel idea, just in time for your summer vacation, is the Pak-A-Set by Weisman. It is perfect for pullman travel. There's no need to stumble down the aisle to the washroom awkwardly laden with makeup. robes, slippers, pajamas and toothbrush. Your robe and paJamas may be zipped neatly into the pocket of the robe and carried by a handy strap.
Here's how it works. Open the button of the inner pocket and turn the pocket inside out, Now merely stuff the rest of the robe into the pocket. There's still room left to slip the pajamas in, zip it shut and fluff it like a pillow. The ensemble is feminine but tallored so that you will be groomed in perfect taste. Ultra feminine nightwear .is never appropriate for traveling. : The robe and pajamas are made of noncrushable rayon seersucker in red, blue or green and white check and solid colors of ¢oral and navy blue. Sizes range from 10 to 20 and the set is $10.95. Pak-A-8Set is available in Wasson’'s Lingerie Department, Third Floor.
