Oldham Hold Annual Gathering Wed In Catholic Church You're of Age To Act Wisely BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX (Famous Authority on Problems of Love and Marriage) Dear Beatrice Fairfax: How many times a week do you think a girl of 21 should be able to go out with a boy? Also, how late do you think she should be able to stay out with him? -A.

F. Dear It seems to me that a young woman of 21 should have developed, by that age, sufficient common sense and judgment to plan wisely for herself about these things. Since most girls of 21 are either in college or on a job, they all need plenty of rest and sleep to enable them to carry on their daytime programs efficiently. There is, of course, the added factor that they should also have sufficient wisdom to see that they don't stay out late enough on any date to give anyone cause for eyebrow-raising. Your question suggests to me that your parents may be feeling that they should be the ones to say what you should do about your dates.

But 1 feel that, at your age, and if you've always shown discretion in what you do, it's time for you to be reasonably independent akng these lines as well as in other directions. If you're still living at home, as I assume you are since you say nothing to indicate the contrary, then, of course, it may be best for you to defer to your parents' wishes. But if, by any chance, they keep laying down the law to you and questioning whatever you do, then it's either time for you to take a good look at your program of activities to make sure it doesn't need revision on your part, or time for you to ask your parents if they doo't think a 21-year-old should have freedom of action so long as she violates none of the principles of good taste that should govern every young woman's behavior. SHE LETS HIM COME TO SEE HER, BUT WON'T GO OUT Dear Beatrice Fairfax: I am a boy of 18 and have a problem that 1 can't solve by myself so am asking for your help. There is a certain girl lam very much in love with and she tells me I can come to Try Different Trick With Red Cabbage NEW YORK (UPI) Try something new with red cabbage.

She won't go to dances or the movies or anything and I don't know why, yet if I call her up and ask if 1 can come over, she always says yes. I can't make anything out of this, can you? -Joe Dear Joe: Any time you find yourself stuck trying to find the answer to a problem created by someone else, there are just two things to do. One is to come right out and ask directly what the trouble may be and the other is to put up with it quietly, try to Ignore it as much as possible and wait to see if it won't iron out in time.

Winter Shoes Require Care CHICAGO (UPI) Winter shoes should be stored with care to preserve them. Here are some tips from a foot care authority, Dr. William M.

Scholl: -replace broken, frayed or knotted laces, worn-down lifts and thin soles before storing winter shoes. -line the toes with tissue paper instead of shoe trees. Women's shoes are more delicately made than men's, and shoe trees, left in them for two seasons, may stretch them out of shape. -store shoes in boxes instead of in shoe Only boxes can keep shoes free of the dust, dirt and light which tend to fade them. -don't store dyed-to-match shoes or shoes of a delicate fabric in plastic bags unless perforated.

The moisture in airtight bags can fade the shoes. Wrap the shoes in white tissue paper and box them. -a thorough cleaning before storage will help preserve the finish of all shoes. -to keep shoes from developing a leather odor in storage, spray them with a shoe deodorizer.

CrockettStaf: Is Honored With background music of "Around the World in 80 Days" setting the vacation time mood, the Crockett faculty were complimented recently with a luncheon by members of the school's P-TA unit. Dominating the center of the table arrangement was a large world globe surrounded various toys depicting modes of travel.

Other toys and objects of art, a number of which were actually brought from all parts of the world, were used to set scenes of interest for the vacationer. Among some of the most popular were some "at home" ideas liked by those who enjoy lakes, dude ranches or just taking It easy. Maps, tour guides and travel folders were used for placemats; and place cards were picture post cards on which the guests' names and addresses were written. Later a fast shuffle of these around the table resulted in each person possessing a card addressed to guest and on which he was asked to write a vacation message and mail it sometime i the summer.
