POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORKER MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1944 EIGHT Dorothy Dix Perilous Times For Girls- Howling Wolves. Awaiting der Lambs Who Must Use Proven Defense. Listen, dearie, I am talking to you and to Mary and Susie and Janie and Gwendolyn and all the other teen-age girls who are in the greatest peril they will ever be in during their whole lifetime, yet who know so little about the strange new world they have just entered that they do not even suspect that they are in danger. True, you hear the howling of the wolves, but it does not occur to you that you are the tender little lambs that they are preparing to feast upon. You have heard about the terrible things that have happened to other girls.

You read in the papers about the poor little girl who got into the swanky car of a handsome ride, stranger and who whose offered battered to and give bruised body was found by the roadside where it has been thrown out of an automobile. And there was Susie, who used to sit next to you at school, who got in with a wild crowd and was arrested during a police raid on a dive. And Emily, who had to leave school 50 suddenly and whose family never speak of her. And Belle from whom you always turn your head and pretend not to see. her when you meet her wheeling her little fatherless baby on the street.

CONFUSED GIRLS' PUZZLE But things like that could never happen to you. You know how to take care of yourself. You are old and worldly wise. You are 16, or 17, maybe almost 18. But those things can happen to you, and they will happen to you unless you watch your step, and that is a hard thing to do when you are bubbling over with youth and avid for pleasure and boy and you don't know which paths are safe to walk in, and which lend to perdition, or how to pick 'em.

Now I want to begin by giving you little advice, which will sound to you, it ever gets past your bob and your earrings, like something brought down out of the hair trunk in the attic; but there are a lot of things in life that time has never changed, and one of them is the rules for human conduct. Especially for girls, of course, circumstances have modified them. You don't have to be a prunes and prisms girl now, as your great-grandmother was, and take a man's arm with the tongs when you step out with him. You don't have to sit with the whole distance of the parlor between you and discuss Shakespeare and the musical glasses, while Grandma sits Just outside the door and listens In, when the Boy Friend calls, But, the same, modesty and reserve are still the best weapons with which a girl can defend hetelf. Also, they are her best come-ons if she wants to make a good marriage, because every man puts women in two classes, the one he plays around with, and the one he wants for wife.

Girls Write Own Price Tags Just bear in mind that every girl writes her own price tag for men. It she holds herself cheap, they cept her valuation of herself and treat her that way, But if she respecta herself and demands respect from them, she gets it. If you want boy to value your kisses, make them few and far between. No man breaks his neck to get the kind that come dime dozen. And always be the kissee instead of the kisser.

Never proffer a caress. It is a dead giveaway that you have to do the courting. Never tell a boy how wild you are about him. Keep him guessing. The old adage about not running after streetcar after you have caught It, still holds good.

Never write a boy a letter that you would not be willing for him to show around among his friends as a proof of what a devil he is among. the girls. Never write two letters to boy's one unless he is somewhere where the mail facilities are poor. Never drink anything stronger than soda pop with a boy. He may spend hours trying to persuade you to take cocktail and then despise you, for getting lit.

And never go in for heavy petting. It is not only common and vulgar, it is the surest way to becoming an old maid. For not many men want damaged goods in wife. Life has always been dangerous for the teen-agers, but it is especially hazardous right now when young girls, who have not yet gotten their emotions under control, are slopping over with the romantic notion that they can somehow save the country by making themselves pick- I ups for sailors and soldiers. Don't be like one of these little babes who told me the other day that it seemed so unpatriotic not to go to saloon and drink with a man in form who said to them: "HI, Toots, come have a few." Don't do it.

You can't boost the soldiers' and morale by wrecking your own morals. Don't ever, anywhere, at any time, step out with a strange man, no matter what sort of clothes he has on. Make them all show their identification cards before you give them a passing nod. Play safe, daughter. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Vassar College Lists Calendar for Week Tomorrow 10:15 a.

Dr. Whittemore Cites Real Loyalties Dr. Alan Whittemore, Superior of the Order of the Holy Cross, West Park, addressed the Vassar Community church yesterday morning. Father Whittemore declared that real loyalties never conflict and that we must love and be loyal to America in a way that allows us to be loyal to humanity at large. "Jesus' heart reached out to every human and He showed us that we have all the important ispects of life in common with all people.

In quoting from 'a letter he had received from a service man, Father Whittemore emphasized the fact that our soldiers are fighting for a lasting world peace which can only become a reality through world federation in which all countries are permitted to participate. All of us must work for such federation now, he said. We must fight all the isolationists, for unless we do, we shall see another failure similar to that of 1918. "If we let the boys down again," Father Whittemore concluded, "there will have nothing like it in history since Judas." 100F In Pine Plains Joint installation ceremonies of the Pine Plains and Millerton Odd Fellow lodges will be held in Pine Plains tonight.
