"From the time their children reach junior high a lot of mothers seem to think that everything the children want is more important than what their parents want." That criticism hits a lot of mothers hard. For it is mighty easy for a mother who wants 'her teenage children to be happy and popular and one of the gang to go overboard in her determination to deny them nothing.

She is willing to make any sacrifice to give her children everything and to plans ahead of thinks their father as she does. But men aren't take a back seat as women are. mother is putting many a middle-aged that he and his and Mrs. Edd Mr. and Mrs.

So watch it, mothers of teenagers. It's fine to be sympathetic and understanding toward your growing-up children, but don't make every decision in their favor. Don't put their happiness always ahead of your husband's and yours. You won't be doing them any favor by being so self-effacing, and you won't be doing yourself or your husband any favor, either. The two of are still important.

And you both still to see to it that each of you feels he is important in the other's eyes. Those two facts shouldn't be overlooked in your determination to give your children everything they want. Hair Care Is Do-It-Yourself Project Now The do-it-yourself craze has gone to most women's heads. A survey of more than. 1,500 women concludes that 96 per cent of them regularly do their own hair grooming.

Hair care includes shampooing, conditioning, setting, and use of tonics and home permanents. According to the survey, prepared by a beauty institute, many women feel personal hair' conditioning is practical. Sixty per cent of the women questioned live in urban areas, 40 per cent, in rural sections. Income seemed to have little influence on the frequency of home care: 32 per cent of women were over the $5,000 bracket, 31 per cent from $3,000 to $5,000, 37 per cent under $3,000. Wide differences are shown in methods of using hair preparations successfully.

Some women use them before or after shampooings, and some between washings. Recommended by the institute is a pre-shampoo treatment with a pure petrolatum hair tonic and a hot oil method which calls for steaming the head with hot, wrungout towels. The national survey, which took six months to complete, reports many women make the mistake of dousing the head with oil.

In her pink satindraped arms she held a colonial bouquet of pink carnations. Nestled in the lacy fern which ran the length of the table were individual corsages of single pink carnations and at each place was a pink-wrapped box topped with a cluster of matching maline and satin streamers. These held stationery, in a pink carnation theme which, with the corsages, were favors. Miss Brooks also received a gift of perfume and a shoulder corsage of pink carnations worn with a dress of grey cotton and a long coat in a darker gunmetal shade.

Bugs Move In BATTLE. CREEK, Mich. IP Laptocoris Trivittatus is plaguing Battle Creek. The harmless little bugs don't bite, undermine houses, create offensive odors or carry disease. But they're bugs and unwelcome.

Less formally known as box elder bugs, they are members of the sapsucking family of insects. Their favorite is the box elder tree. The best method of getting rid of them, experts say, is to cut down the box elders. A less drastic method involves a spraying with DDT. Soak neglected paint brushes in hot vinegar to make them pliable again.

should be used sparingly, just enough to lubricate the dry ends and the hair a gloss. Customs in hair care vary with age, dwelling and geography, the survey shows. Home grooming is more popular with Westerners, Southerners, farm women and women over 30 years old. City-dwellers, young women and Easterners tend more toward professional bair care.
