In New Fall Furnishings

By OPAL CROCKETT . Times Homes Editor

HUSBANDS join wives in fall shopping for their homes, liking what théy see. This Beason it’s color, mixing of woods and availability of imported furnishings. Gone are the days of drab taupes and dull monotones.

Colors give a lilt to the task of furnishing a home. Tired shopping feet are forgotten on tours of displays like the 17 rooms on Ayres’ Sixth Floor; newly decorated for fall. Men, long eduring Christmas ties chosen by wives, are taking a hand in furnishing their houses. They pause longest before semimodern displays. ~ ~ ” 8 * A HAND-HOLDING couple spent a long time measuring an Ayres’ chair. It had to be the right size for that first home. A young minister and his _wife looked long at luxury furnishings. She took mental notes on a luxurious bedspread and said to him, “I'll make one like it.” Proudly he looked at her and on they went happily to furniture they could afford for the parsonage. I overheard a man plaintively say to his wife, after giving in to her choice of chair: “Is it as comfortable as the one I whnted?” This year a low budget doesn’t blot out a good-look-ing house. Aware that customers, particularly women,

As one woman shopper expressed it :first reaction on a tour of showrooms is to “go home, rip out everything and start over.” Another asked: “How unhappy can they make us?” Then comes awareness that no matter the size of the paycheck a home can be handsome.

What's Happening to Our Kids? Warns Teeners Agains

By LEE GRAHAM PROBLEM frequently put to me by mothers is: “My teen-age daughter is steady-dating a boy, and it has me worried. I have no objection to the boy but I feel that's she's too young to get serious about love. She tells me I'm silly and old-fash- § joned. But I think I am right. What is your opinion?” My opinion is that steadydating is a dangerous custom forany but the most exceptional girl under 18. By “exceptional,” I mean a girl who is mentally and emotionally mature. Such maturity is indeed rare among adolescents, because they simply have not lived long enough to acquire it. The practice of “going steady” is growing among the younger set. No one seems to raise his eyebrows when a girl of 13 or 14 announces that she is seeing one boy td the exclusion of all others. Nor do her parents, in most cases, try to stop her. Some are afraid of her scornful reproaches. Others hope it indicates that she won't be an cld ‘maid. So the steady-dating goes on with all its. dangers, not that

the children have changed but,

because the parents don’t quite know how to stop it. As for the teen-ager herself, she steady-dates because that's what the other girls do. This wanting “to belong to a team” is behind the behavior of many youngsters. Aside from that, it’s also a matter of security— a state of mind which girls especially crave. By social custom, they have to wait for a boy to ask them for a date. If they have one beau they can

THE DANGER in this blissful state of security is the abruptness with which it can end. Jane Griffin is only one of thousands of teen-agers to discover this hear t-breaking fact. At her 14th birthday party, she decided it would be wonderful to accept Don’s invitation to go steady. She had only known him for two weeks and she was thrilled that he should single her out. Her worries about being popular with the opposite sex seemed suddenly to be over.

And then, like a slap in the face, it happened. After three dream-like months, Don told her that he still liked her very much but that he didn’t want to confine himself to dating just one girl. Jane's whole happy Yittle world crashed, and. it stayed that way for weeks, She had gotten so accustomed to him that she had even begun to think secretely of their getting married some day. She had cut herself off from other boys fo such an extent that she was now lefting dangling and embarrassed. She suffered from the deepest kind of loneliness and humiliation. She recovered but the experience left her with a lack of self-confi-dence: which scarred her personality for many years. Even if such a relationship continues smoothly and leads to marriage, it still is a dangerous idea. Before you let your young daughter proceed to “keep company” in her early teens, here is another disadvantage to consider. She is limiting the knowledge she will need to make a wise marital choice.

t Steady-Date Perils’

Ruth Fields a 19-year-old divorcee, who recently was a guest on one of my television programs, is an example of what I mean, (That is not her real name.) Ruth had never gone out with any boy except Phil who she married when she was 17. Steady-dating in the early teens can create other difficulties. By throwing a young couple together .tgo often, it usually leads to a‘ flaring of physical desires, which may regult in a forced marriage because of pregnancy. Even without this complication, it may lead to wedding bells at a time when both the

boy and gigl should be finish-

ing their education and looking (especially the boy) for a good job. » ” ” HERE ARE four suggestions which, I believe, will help you to break up steady-dating without having a family row: ONE—Encourage your teenagers to make as many friends as possible of both sexes. You can help this along by having your children entertain their friends at home in large groups. TWO—Supervise the social life of your youngsters without being apologetic about it. Be reasonable but firm. Don’t think of it as your right—but rather as your obligation. THREE—When you say “no,” to steady-dating don’t say it in an arbitrary manner. Explain your reasons. You might use the reasons set forth in this article. FOUR—Don’t worry about your girl's or boy's sentimentality when you withhold approval for going steady. These relationships usually begin as a matter of social convenience more than anything else. It is much kinder to discourage it in

the early stages than to wait

until the romance may have jelled. TOMORROW: Early Mam riage Is a Pitfall.
