Among Us Teens
St, Patrick's Day Parties Should Be Gay, Colorful
By Val Our Irish is up—St. Patrick be-1
longs to all of us; whether we've much or a little Irish or none. This holiday has become legen- dary American heritage, trans- planted here by our Irish ances- tors, so why shouldn’t all of us get out and have fun on March 17? It seems particularly a Teen holiday—merriment reigns, and even Lent takes a breath and allows us be gay.
Informal Teen fests are on the calendar all over the country, but others can be organized on short notice in your own particular gang.
St. Patrick’s Ball—Every girl in a certain group is going to wear her white “initiation” dress or any white summer dress, or white bal- lerina blouse and skirt—long or short—it's optional. The girl who is giving the party has ivy grow- ing winter and summer in her kitchen, she has made a green wreath for each girl’s hair. She has bought green candles; will have a four-leaf clover hunt; is using small gold harps as place- cards; will serve lime punch, pis- tachio. ice cream, green-frosted cake. The boys will be jaunty in green paper Irish derbies with

shamrocks in their lapels. The
girls want their escorts to wear
tuxes—if they have them or can
borrow Pop's or older brother’s— they plan to do this. Of course,
the victrola will be used for
dancing, concluded by 11 p.m., as it’s a weekday. A marvelous
party, and easy to arrange. Potato Party—Another Teen
gang is gathering at Jerry’s house for a fireplace potato roast and this bunch will wear their oldest clothes. It’s a “shanty” affair, with the girls in wool skirts, ancient blouses and shawls; the boys in old plus-fours from the attic, red flannel or army shirts, scuffed loafers. They’ll roast po- tatoes in the fireplace, eat white homemade cheese, boiled eggs, and drink a lot of milk and tea.
■Irish jigs and reels are the order of the evening. (You can buy, in some cases rent from public libraries, records with directions for jigs, reels, square dances.) Of course, the gang will warble every Irish song they ever heard, while they bask in the firelight. Don’t be surprised if somebody comes dressed as a leprechaun.

Junketing and Jogcarting—The Irish don't go much for cheese except their own semihard variety, made at home by a special process. We can very nearly approximate this cheese by using junket and setting it in the usual way. Follow by putting the completed junket, after thoroughly and firmly set,
£to a thin wire strainer, and al- w all nonsolids to strain out.
Next, make little patties of the remaining curds, and place in re- frigerator. (This cheese keeps very well in a saturated solution of salt, first sterilizing the salt water by boiling 7 minutes.) Simple, but good enough for a party; or to take to market or the fair.

I Irish Eyes—Old and new Irish songs, plays, dances are given each year by Teens at Greenwich House, located in Greenw'ch Village in New York City, which is not so arty as it is a home center for countless Teens. Greenwich is a
settlement recreation house, but it gives young people of all ages such wonderful dramatic and art ex- perience that Teens travel down from upper Manhattan each week for its benefits. It is heart-warm- ing for all of us to see Teens and pre-Teens of every nationality and race singing songs of Erin in stumbling Irish brogue, along with real colleens. It certainly pro- motes the spirit of brotherhood.

Skin Care for Teens
By Eleni Be»uty Editor.
So many Teenas wish to con- sult some one regarding their specific beauty problems. They j want to talk with an expert who is sympathetic to their teen-age troubles and who will not scold them, and just tell them to buy this and that to clear up their skin ills.
If yours is a young skin that should be lovely and minus blemishes, we think you ought to drop in sometime this com- ing week and consult Miss-Dor- othy Nichols who is coming down from New York to help

Washington ten-agers with their skin problems. She will be on hand Monday, through Sat- urday to give complete instruc- tions in the use of cosmetics by teen-agers.
Miss Nichols will tell you many new things, but a few of them you’ve already heard. Things like “the scrubbed look is back.” That you should brush your hair not just a hun-
dred strokes, but two hundred. Clear skin is no accident. It comes from scrupulous cleanli- ness. Drinking eight glasses of water and brushing your teeth religiously as part of the daily beauty ritual also help.
She’ll also tell you and show you one of the most interesting beauty kits we know you Teenas will adore. It's a "brush-up set" that is a combination of the
j famous and well-loved cream ! soap and genuine bristle com-
plexion brush to help you keep “well scrubbed.” The soap comes in a wooden bowl just like Dad's shaving soap. But there’s no mistaking this bowl, for it will be just yours.
