Teen Tattler — Rural Youthers Introduce Square-Dancing at Legion Club; Good Teachers, Too By MARY DEVINE BRENNAN The worry of the week seems to concern the back-to school wardrobe. Most of the gla m o u r coeds are finding that they pur chase the new vel vet - trim med s u i t and a cash mere* sweat er or 2. the budget hits terrifying low. If that is the case with you. you will just have to dress up the clothes you already have and pretend they are new If it’s gold slippers you want (they’ll still be in style for winter evenings), buy a can of gold paint, dig out your Summer sandals, and your artistic talent! do the rest. Renew the paint job a’ter j every 3 or 4 wearings *ind your shoes will have enough glitter to match any slippers. that Cinderella ever wore. Heavy, old-fashioned jew elry is going to be popular this winter, too, but there's no need for you to clutch the battered billfold and weep bitter tsars about the high-cosl-of-living and the new-look. Just take yourself up to the j attic for an afternoon of. snooping and sleuthing In that old box of “jewels’ ; you used when you played j "dresss-up" in your younger years, you may find a cameo broach or 2 that will make striking scarf pins. There will probably be some necklaces or bracelets, too They were "just too funny for words” a few years back, but they’ll be the new life for last year’s "date dress” this Winter If you are very lucky you will discover somewhere a metal-mesh evening bag your mother packed away and for got many years ago. Save it and carry on your next prom date. The "new look” is really the old, old look, you know, so you might as well take ad vantage for it. —0— The wise coeds are taking steps these days to protect their precious sweaters by making sweater bags. All you need is pliafilm dime store table cloth and some binding tape or satin rib bon. Cut the table cloth into squares. Sew 2 squares togeth er on 3 sides and edge the fourth side with ribbon or tape. For more completely dust proof bags make them envel ope style with a flap that folds over and snaps. It’s easy. Just try it and see. The Legion club echoed with laughter Friday night as 25 teen-age Fred Astaires and their partners made their first attempts at square-dancing. George Peters and the Sobotka brothers are good teachers, though, and everyone was do • ing well before the evening ! ended. There will be more square-dancing tomorrow night ' so be sure to be there early. Marie ("Cinderella") Birm mg ham lost her shoe for a while but she didn't mind. She could dance as well without it. and the boys were enjoying their game of catch. Sister Pat Brennan has turned dancing teacher and loves it. She’s teaching Jim j Marne the side-step and from what I hear lesson 1 was most interesting if not very instructive. —0— Dick Godel, the town cham pion when it comes to the jit terbug routine, surprised us all F’riday night. He can jive it up for hours at a time without a pause for breath, but a single square dance had him completely worn out! Our square dance teachers will be back to help us have more fun tomorrow night See you at the Legion club.
