EVERY SATURDAY

Poise For Teen-agers

AT

By JILL MORRISON

Ta dance, don't attach your-

self to a group of your own sex and start an absorbing con- versation.

If you're a girl, don't refuse a dance from sheer "funk." And it you have refused one partner, on no account then accept another.

There's no need to talk all through danice if you're shy. Answer pleasantly if your partner speaks, otherwise just enjoy the dancing, and say "Thank you" with a smile when it's over.

If you are shy at a party. It's a good idea to see if you can help your hostess in any way-by honding round plates, nay. This will help you to overcome your shyness and meet people.

ΑΝ

ND here are some very important things to remember in any social gathering:

you're interested in other people, they'll be interested in you.

You may not be a brilliant talker. but if you're a good listener you'll pive people the impression that you're Intelligent..

Don't be cally about other people. You may get a few cheap laughs that way, but nobody will respect you.

The same goes for enobbish criti- cians or boasting.

PARIS HAS NEW JEWEL IDEAS

While Paris is making more and more modern costume jewellery-chunky rings and smooth gold necklets highlighted by clips or a brooch-London is digging into the past in search of antique silver filigree, gar- nets and other semi-precious

gems.
