Students Have New Personality
New York—[UP]—The nation had better brace itself. The teenager is getting set to pop out with a new personality.
That's the word from President Eugene Gilbert of the Gilbert Youth Research Co., the only outfit concerned exclusively with the habits and behavior of the small and middle-fry.
In dress, for instance, he sees a teen-ager trend toward more formality.
Gilbert said the change has been in the making in the last 10 years, in dress, speech, manners and opinion.
"Shortly after the war," said Gilbert, "saddle shoes and woven ski sweaters began to drop out of sight. Then plaid shoelaces and colored corduroy shools went.
Gilbert, who has some 2,300 student researchers at work in 500 cities, said the language also is changing.
"In recent months, some of our operators have spotted boys wearing ties at dances. They also found that crew tops and crazy haircuts like the 'apache' were beginning to fade."
Parents just beginning to understand terms like "date bait," "swoon," and "big deal," now had better gear themselves for "crazy," "real gone." "flip," and "the most-est."
As for teen-age thinking, the researcher produced all sorts of revelations. Politically, he said, most of the young folks of high school age have swung from the Democrats to the Republicans.
"Eighty per cent of those polled in 1944 were pro-Roosevelt. .now it's 65 per cent for President Eisenhower," said Gilbert.
Gilbert's researchers found that teenagers are starting to date a year earlier than they were 10 years ago—it's now around 14 for boys, and $13^{2}$ for girls.
Over this span, the trend toward marrying younger accelerated for girls—the peak year for marriage is now 18, compared with 22 in the early 40s. For boys, however, it remained about the same—23 is the peak year for the man to get trapped.
There is a reason for this steadiness in the male marriage age, Gilbert said. His research showed that few high school males are making plans for the future—most until their military service is ended.
The attitude of girls has something to do with it also.
The modern girl is much lazier
than her mother and she admits it. She also is more interested in money. She wants her husband to be earning at least $100 a week at marriage."
Square Dancing BecomesPopular Agair
A southern Illinois square dance expert, Joe Haase, 44, of Carterville, said that city dwellers began taking an interest in the square dance about 20 years ago and interest throughout the nation has grown steadily ever since. He estimated 1,000,000 persons have taken up square dancing.
Carterville, Ill. — (U.P.) — Being a "square" - square dancer, that is—is becoming more and more fashionable all over the nation.
Well-Dressed Woman Shares Beauty Secrets
He has helped make southern Illinois an important center in the square dance revival and estimates he has taught "several hundred" persons their "do-si-do's" and "promenades."
The popular songs of early America still are the favorites among square dancers. Haase said. Three of the top favorites he said, are "Turkey in the Straw." "The Arkansas Traveler," and "The Chicken Reel."
Haase is one of the few professional square dance teachers in the nation, even though—as he said—"two years ago I didn't know my right foot from my left."
Haase said the square dance fever even has spread to Britain, where there are two record companies making square dance records.
In the United States, he said, there are at least 35 companies cutting thousands of records yearly for square dancers.
New York — (U,P)—Mrs. Winston Guest, famous for her fashion know-how, also has definite ideas about makeup and figure care.
Haase said many of the boisterous yet graceful square dances are variations of European folk dances, but the "caller," who sheds out loud for the dancers to follow, is strictly an American development.
Hasse predicted a solid future for square dancing, because "it's so much fun and it mixes persons of all ages and all walks of life."
A beauty as well as a fashion plate, Mrs. Guest says women eat too much, drink too much, wear their skirts too long, and are swayed too much by fads.
Mrs. Guest, wife of the sociallyprominent polo player and aviation figure, is blonde and willowy She is five feet, six and one-hall inches tall, and weighs 118 pounds
"It really $\rho$ democratic," he said.
She keeps her figure by one routine — plenty of outdoor exercise and little of the fattening and rich foods.
The hardest North American wood, in terms of density, is black ironwood, found in southern Florida. It has a specific gravity of 1.04 and is so heavy it sinks in water.
She rides horseback when she's at the couple's farm in Virginia, and swims daily if she's in Palm Beach. But for the woman not blessed with stables and a beach in her front yard, Mrs. Guest says there are other ways of keeping the figure trim.
"A woman owes it to herself to find the time and the way," she said. "I do stretching and bending exercises, if I'm not going to be able to get outdoors."
Her diet features the lean meats and vegetables.
"I think most of us eat too much," she said.
She takes only an occasional cocktail, saying that in her opinion, the skin suffers from too many.
Brunettes can wear more makeup than blondes," she said. "Too much color with light hair and skin gives a coarse look."
Mrs. Guest uses little makeup
dress, day, but adds some rouge
for丰满.
She placed second from the top on this year's list of best-dressed women, probably because of the simplicity of her clothing tastes.
"I like both simple lines and simple fabrics," she said. "I prefer navies, blacks and the pastel ones; never a harsh shade like orange."
"My skirts are about 15 inches from the floor. . . on me that's about mid-calf."
"Looking around on Fifth Avenue the other day, I decided women are wearing their skirts too long."
Not a fad follower, Mrs. Guest believes that good style changes little. She is dressed by some top names in fashion, but won't disclose how much she spends a year on clothes.

Tulip bulbs have considerable quantities of starch and, during World War I, the famous tulips of Holland were used for making starch.
New York (U.P.)—The women have stolen the shirt right off the man's back.
But for spring and summer, it's a shirt the men wouldn't recognize. In some cases, it's formal enough for evening wear.
LadiesTakeMan'sShirt Dress It Up for Spring
Actually, women for years have copied masculine fashions, even as they criticized the men for their drab and conservative tastes. And in the last few months, blouses tailored 'like a man's shirt have been popular.
Now, designer Hattie Carnegie, has gone even farther. She has refined the shirt, but not even bothered to tuck in its tail.
She calls the result the shirt-cardigan. Sometimes the collar is modified for a softer effect than a man's collar gives. Sometimes the sleeves are loose instead of cuffed. But the slits up the side are the same, and the general fit is the same as that of a man's shirt.
One of the shirts is a light-weight wrap of soft pink boucle knit, worn over a slim-cut daytime silk dress of geranium red.
Some of the shirts are in figured silks, to wear with dresses of the same fabric or with coordinated solid colors. Some shirts are in solid color, light weight wools. One of the fanciest is of deep pink peau de soie, with jeweled cuffs, for use as a spring and summer evening wrap.
Japanese Beauty Wants to Be Kissed
Tokyo (U.P).—An unkissed Japanese beauty said today she would like to go back to Hollywood and give the boys a second chance.
Lamenting the fact that she had not been kissed during her three month stay in the glamour capital of the world—either on the screen or off—was long-legged Kinuko Ito who placed third in last year's "Miss Universe" contest.
The Tokyo fashion model played bit parts in two Universal-International pictures as a reward for being the third most beautiful woman in the world.
Unfortunately, however, neither of them was a Japanese girl—a part the raven-haired lovely wanted to play.
In the "Yankee Pasha" she was a harem girl with the usual diaphanous and interesting costume. In the second, "Hawaiian Nights," she was an Hawaiian girl who did the hula-hula.
A Sunset Avenue hula expert in the Universal studios taught her the stylized rhythmic motions of the Hawaiian love dance.
"I think maybe I give it a Japanese touch," she said.
In neither of the pictures did Kinuke use a kiss. What's more, none of the Hollywood boys who took her out tried to kiss her.
"I heard about the—what you say?
—Hollywood wolves," she said, "but I didn't find any.
"I would like to be kissed."
The jinx has followed her back to Japan in her first picture, "All of Me," although she does get the man in the end.
The 21-year-old beauty said she wanted very much to get back to Hollywood. She would like to stay for two or three years studying English and the American way of life. son?
"Ah! Very nice. So easy to get along with and frank. There is nothing between you to stop friendship."
The man of her dreams doesn't have to be handsome—just nice and considerate like Joseph Cotten“a very nice guy.”
Miss Iso shyly confessed that she doesn't want to be a movie queen. She just wants to get married and have five children.
When a visitor to Britain puts his hand in his change pocket, he pulls out a handful of history, according to the British Travel Association. Abbreviations for pounds, shillings and pence tell the invasion history of the British Isles. The symbol for pound, £, is a hangover from the Norman-French word for pound, "livre." The S for shilling comes directly from the Danish word "schelling." The Romans donated the D for penny, from their word "denarius."
Gamma Phi Bet Tells Pinnings
Gamma Phi Beta sorority announces two pinnings.
Pinned are Jane Henry, college sophomore, and Jack Hoerath, college junior. Miss Henry is from Howard and Hoerath, a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, is from Kansas City.
Miss Henry's attendants were Suzanne Russing, college senior; Suzanne Schwantes, Dianne Nothdruft, and Shirley West, college sophomores, who debated the question, Resolved: that girls should go steady before they are pinned. The conclusion was affirmative.
nity, is the attendant were Mary Lawrence, fine arts sophomore; Mark Miller, Patricia Buell, education juniors, and Joane Manney, fine arts sophomore, who enacted a radio program. The commercials announced the pinning.
The pinning of Mary Ann Higgins, college sophomore, to Richard Kndwles, education sophomore, was also announced. Miss Higgins is from Flushing, N.Y., and Knowles, a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, is from Wichita.
Hula Dancing Keeps Women Trim, Slim
Milwaukee —(U.R.) Matrons of suburban Shorewood are keeping their figures trim by hula dancing under the instruction of a woman who never has been to Hawaii.
The women, dressed in homemade grass skirt outfits, attend hula classes at the Shorewood Opportunity School every Monday and wiggle to recorded Hawaiian music.
Instructor Val Weimer never has visited the Islands but she knows about 25 ancient and modern huluses. She then goes from a San An-jo, Tex., woman.
Most of her pupils make their own costumes, using colored cellophane for the "grass" of the skirts. But some of the women have imported holokus and skirts from Hawaii. Their leis are made of artificial flowers.
Miss Weimer said the swaying tropical dance is an excellent way for women of all ages to keep slim and trim enough to wear the proper dress of holokus and gras skirts.
Slightly more than eight per cent of the 1,500,00 men and women in the Army are officers. This figure does not include female medical officers or warrant officers.
