UITE pleased to see you dish out all those excellent articles

Quch By Tearliest congratulations, especially to

Byatt for his very interesting description of teenagers in apan and also for the introduction of that extremely talented | and- wisty girl. Josephine Law, to your ever-increasing staff of writers. - Glad to see that the 17-21 Club's competent editors are taking steps to improve the quality of their publishings. By the way, while on the subject of writers, what ever happened to that "regular contributor“ Zachary Macintyre? It seems as tho' he had your Mailbox "IN THE BAG" only a few weeks ago. To close this thort little piece of nonsense, I think I will permit myself I will be awaiting eagerly to be enrolled Into your organisation. the arrival of my membership card.--Vivian McGillis, Kowloon.

ELCOME to the gang, Vivian; your plaudits overwhelm ust Zachary, for personal ressons, resigned from the Club sone time ago. We're sorry, but you'll have to do without a member-

appreciate all the wonderful essays, articles, and pictures you print. I've been thinking of joining the Club but have never done so because of my school work. As I'm quite free now, I enclose my application form-Eugene Chan, Hongkong.

You're in, Eugene. And now how about some "wonderful" articles, essays or pictures from you?

HOPE that you can add my name to your list of members. I've Just finished reading the letter sent in by Iggy Yip Yat- cheung who suggested you have a column for giving advice to people who need it. This sounds quite a good idea-if you get column where sensible problems to answer, Next, how about a Club membery can ask questions-plain, simple, everyday ones? General knowledge questions. That should be quite interesting.- Patricia Creswell. Hongkong.

We don't think there's a big enough demand for the former, Pat. If enough people write in asking for such a column, we'll consider it. The latter suggestion occurred to us when the Club was launched; but it would involve a special staff for research and an extensive library to be able to cope with questions such us, for example, "How many Muslims are there in China?” (a question asked last week in a similar column run by a Singapore newspaper)..

photos? What sizes should I send in and what are the rules? | -Robert Chi, Kowloon,

:

BECAUSE you are sure to meet somebody new

and, very likely, someone you would want to impress, you should take special care to appear at your best at a party. Any girl is looking her best when she is at her 'feminine' best.

To begin at the beginning, you should wear your hair in a style most becoming to your face. Medium length hair has a way of making you appear young and sophisticated as well as being the length most young girls can wear. Choose, then, a style that curls prettily around your face to give you a soft look.

Contrary to what is so quently said about having to apply heavier make-up for

fre-

after-dark use, I think that for young girls at least-this rule

MEET THE does not apply.
