Gilbert Youth Service If you think a beauty queen's life is made up only of bright lights, nights on the town, and free trips to exotic vacation spots you're in for a surprise.

Rebeca Alkire 18, who was crowned "Miss American Teen-Ager" last September, has had her share of glamor and excitement. But she also discovered a few holes in the silver lining. An over-abundance of personal appearances interfered with Becky's first-year studies at Ohio State University last winter. "In mid-year I had to drop out of college for two quarters," she notes. "I'm attending summer school now, but even so, I won't be able to catch up with my class." In college, Becky found her title an effective way of meeting new friends perhaps too effective.

"I met some girls who were interested in me just because I was a celebrity," she says. "And fraternities would call to arrange dates with me for their pledges as an initiation stunt." Apparently Becky's crown "was no guaranty of a glamourous social life. "Lots of boys shy away from me now, even those I'd known before I won the title," she says. Even the prizes she won clothes, and car, a trip to Hollywood, an encyclopedia set, a diamond ring, and $1,000 in scholarship funds seen paltry in compassion with the promotional gifts this year's win- Grand Champion Sandwich Boys Will Make Passes at Girls with Chic Glasses The ihree R's of Paris fall fashion, romance, riches and rhfShm are all present in fhis Lilli Ann coat, the luxurious cdrissable fabric woven in Paris, ihe beautiful new coat shape, the extravagant use of sumptuous Norwegian fox, in ojE opulent continuous sweep from the neck down to and inmding the hem where it becomes a dramatic and sirenish eff-around border.

But disappointments aside, Becky still maintains that "as far as I'm concerned, the experience has been marvelous." Still, settling down to normal college life promises to be a relief. "I'll hate giving up my title," she says, "but I want to go back to school." Purse! When driving alone in a car be sure that the doors are locked and the windows are closed. It's 'a good Idea to make a habit of looking into the back seat of the car as you get In, Dowling pointed out. Thefts and attacks do not always take place after dark. A woman should be prepared to protect herself physically at any time.

Surprise is an attacker's best weapon so he uses it with a hit-and-run tactic. Several avenues of defense are open to a women who is Britain's Costly Gilbert Youth Service Girls who must wear glasses need not miss out on teen fun because of owlish looks if they choose frames that accentuate both their faces and their personalities. Designers of glass frames have put glasses into the high fashion category, and you can choose from diamond shapes, half-moons, squares or grannies, as well as the traditional ovals and circles. If you've a long, thin face, keep away from heavy frames. Delicate ovals are probably best for you.

No square frames for a square face. All other shapes go nicely with this face, so you can be dramatic with pastel-colored frames, or even the multicolored op types. Girls with round or full faces should avoid the hoot-owl round frames, and try glasses with soft angles. The tiny Ben Franklins look well on this face. Those with diamond-shaped faces should stay away from diamond frames.

Minimal frames are recommended here, and half-moons are particularly becoming. And now for some charm attacked. One should scream as loudly and as piercingly as possible and strike back fast with every ounce of strength she can muster aiming at the criminal's vital spots. No matter what her size a woman can do a great deal of damage and give herself enough time to allow her to escape by weakening the criminal, if only temporarily. If approached head on, a woman's best natural defense is her fingernails aimed at the eyes and face.

She can also use her purse as a striking weapon or jab a knee into his groin. The heels of her shoes are excellent for scraping shins and digging into the instep of an attacker. Any sharp instrument she can lay her hands on a nail file, pen, pencil, comb or lipstick can be raked across the eyes and face to wound him long enough to give her time to get away. A woman who knows that the route she's taking is deserted and poorly lighted might keep an envelope of cayenne pepper in her hand-just in case. Aimed at the eyes, it renders a would-be thief or attacker helpless while she runs for help.

Getting a look at one's attacker is important. With the aid of identifying marks, police can capture and punish the guilty party. lege, have done 60 at "Our House," featuring pizzas and other foods sometimes hard to find there.

The aristocrats the owners of ancient titles, long established naval and military families, and country squires with great houses and odd names-claim that while the debutante charade continues, it is Society that is dead. They say that with enough money, just about anyone can launch a daughter Into the egalitarian, mini-skirted, gadgety, highly commercial, expense account, pop society of today's Britain. The current crop of debs includes 400 girls of all shapes, sizes and hair coloring, most of whom are 17 or 18. Although a pack of money is being spent on their coming out, 1967 is NOT considered a vintage year for debs. At one of the season's first gatherings, Diane Eddington, principal of The London Model School, took one look and said: "They're all very pretty, but I've never seen such round shoulders and terrible carriages.

When I first saw them they all looked hunched up as if they were sheltering from a high wind." Although no vintage crop, this years debs include a special trio of stunners. They are: Lady Juliana Noel, daughter of the Earl of Lady, KBy AUDREY SACCO Hammond (Ind.) Times Writer HAMMOND, Ind. (JB -'A woman Is walking down a nearly-deserted street near a shopping area. Suddenly she hears footsteps behind her. Then 6he feels a tug on her arm.

Someone is trying to snatch her purse. What should she do? "Resist" is the advice of Operation Arabella Churchill, daughter of Randolph Churchill and granddaughter of the late Sir Winston Churchill. Alexandra (Xandra) Mey-nell, daughter of the wealthy landowner, Hugo Meynell. They are beautiful, elegant, shapely girls who fit no debbery mold. Arabella showed something of the old Churchill spirit when she balked at wearing a certain dress at a fashion show which featured debs as models.

"I do NOT want to show my bottom," said the defiant Miss Churchill. She had been asked to wear a pink silk dress slit up the back to show matching pink panties. She is a descendant of Sarah, the spirited first Duchess of Marlborough. Of her being named Arabella, a gossip columnist once wrote: "Only a Churchill would have the courage to name a daughter after a naughty Arabella Churchill who, long years ago before Marlborough time had four babies by a man too superior to marry her." At that same deb-model show, Lady Juliana told reporters: "It's so rotten trying to smile when you're scared stiff of falling on your face. Anyhow, I wouldn't be a model for anything." By EDDY GILMORE Associated Press Writer LONDON The parents of 400 British debutantes are presently in the process of spending a total of $2,800,000 on presenting their daughters to what is still called Society.

With the price of just about everything higher than ever before, 1967 could be the costliest Operation Debut ever. Asked to estimate the total that will be spent on daughter-launching, 12 sets of parents, selected at random, gave figures ranging from $2,240,000 to $5,600,000. The $2,800,000 seems about right. With 400 girls involved, this works out at an average of $7,000 per pretty. It goes for rented apartments, ballrooms, clothes, food, drink, flowers, music, servants, taxis and rented chauffeur-driven cars.

In many ways the amount of money being poured out on debbery is astounding. Britain's economy is shaky. Theoretically, salaries and prices are frozen. Money is hard to borrow and income tax is high. Interest rates are high too.

Grudgingly, banks will lend limited amounts at rr cent, while mortgages cost 7. The nation is currently governed by the Labor Party which frowns on snobbery, ostentatious spending and a class system that nurtures debutantes. And did not Queen Elizabeth II herself in 1958 put an end to the annual presentation of the debs at court? When the sovereign took this democratic step commentators and a wad of hostesses claimed that debbery was dead. They were awfully wrong. Debs no longer are presented to the queen as debs, but the launching of daughters on Xandra Meynell has an ex- Etonian brother, Freddie Mey nell, who at the age of 22, i the leader of a pop group.

The homely ones hate it. vl But debbery goes on. Watch Hammond Police Chief James Dowling. "Purse-snatchers," he said, are usually just after money, Ioisa or physical resistance from a victim will often frighten them away." The need for money by a teen-ager, an alcoholic, dope user or person of a lower income bracket drives a person to this type of theft or action, Dowling indicated. -A, it Your "They often remain unseen," he said.

"So women should be alert at all times for anyone walking behind them. "Women should also be suspicious of anyone strange to their 'home neighborhoods or anyone appearing to be from a low income group," the police chief said. A purse or wallet left carelessly on a store counter by a woman shopping an aisle or a step away is an open invitation to "Steal me." In another unguarded moment in the privacy of a store washroom thieves have been known to lift a woman's purse off the hook on the door. Purse thefts and related attacks take place just off the mainstream of busy scommer-cial areas. Streets or alleys leading to or from central shopping areas are most common, according to police records.

If you would avoid being robbed and or attacked, then don't go anywhere since the possibility always exists. Women are advised to travel in pairs whenever possible. "A would-be thief or attack- er seldom takes on two women," Dowling said.
