OilobSr 19". 190$ •MB McHENRY PLAINDEALER UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: Everytlme I go to visit my girl her mother drops whatever she's doing and comes arid sits in the living roona with us. It's not that she doesn't trust us but die's just 90 friendly, she feels she has to get into the conversation all the time. Is there anything we can do about her?--Two Worried Teen-Aggers. Dear Teen-Agere: Sorry but if you like each other well enough, you'll put up with uninvited company and like it. Maybe the girl could speak to her Dad and see if he won't pass the world along that you two want to be alone at times but if doesn't work, you'll just have to put up with conditions asWhey are. Sorry. DEAR DAN: Is there anything wrong with a girl wearing a false pony tail? To hear my mother talk, you'd think I was committing a crime. I've got enough money saved to buy a pony tail and I'd like to wear one once in a while. My boy friend said he won't mind.--Nora. Dear Nora: Of course, there's nothing wrong with a pony tail but personally, don't .you think you could invest your money into something a little more worthwhile? False pony tails look talse and lid rather see a girl wearing her own hair, no^patter how short it might be. • . • m DEAR DANi I read your column every Week and have been helped many times but now I have a question concerning a recent letter. You once defined the difference, between kissing, necking and petting but not clearly enough to make me understand. What I'm especially concerned about is this boy I dated last week. After bringing me home from our date, we perked ill front off my house for about 20 minutes. During those 20 minutes he kissed me three times but not in succession. Was lihta considered necking?--Worried. •pear Worried: No, you weren't necking with the boy. Necking is when a couple settle down in a car or elsewhere and concentrate strictly on kissing and embracing. I wouldn't say a boy and girl who kissed three times in 20 minutes were necking although I m sure there are people who will disagree with me. Peking, as you know, is the follow-up to necking and can result in trouble for the girl involved. Okay?

By Anne Ashley Q. How can I frost the window in a room in which I wish a little more privacy. A. Soften .some putty with a few drops of linseed oil and dab this all over the outride of the window glass. This will dry into a nice frosting in a day or so, whereupon another coating may be applied. This frosting is more or less permanent and weatherproof, and can be safely washed. But you can also "defrost" it-any time with some concentrated ammonia. Q. How can I waterproof or rainproof the inked address I have written on a package for .mailing? A. Rub a bit of furniture wax on a soft cloth and paiss this lightly over your writing on the package. Then, no matter how hard it might rain on the package, the address will not blur; Q. How can I straighten out a warped phonograph record. A. Try placing it between two pieces of glass, and set it where the sun will shine on it for an hour or two. Q. How can I eliminate the usual embarrasing difficulty 1 experience in lighting the candles on my dinner table, some of these candles stubbornly refusing to ignite? / A. Try this system: Light your candles aboutvan hour beforehand and let burn for a few minutes. Then blow them out and pour three or four drops of lighter fluid over their wicks. Then later, a touch of flame, and they'll light instantly. Q. How can I keep the hard-to-remove substance from gathering on the sides of my pan when boiling sweet potatoes? A. A half-teaspoon of bacon drippings or other grease, added to the water in which sweet potatoes or other root vegetables are boiled will do the trick. Q.

If the stains have been allowed to remain for a long time, soak in kerosene, then rub and wash with soapsuds. Q. How can I make gelatin dessert or salad very quickly, when time is at a premium? A.

Add fruit, if you wish, but be sure that it is ice cold. A. How can I easily slip on rubber gloves? A. Keep a salt shaker of cornstarch handy, and sprinkle a little on the hands before putting on the gloves. Cornstarch will not cake, as talcum powder sometimes does.
