Herman Wexter, Director t. i If I- - ; ' Miss Barnic Skoog Teen-Agers Said Severest Critics Of Own Mothers If a man's severest critic is his wife, a mother's sternest judge is her teen-age daughter. A poll of teen-age girls on what they thought of their mothers' looks, conducted recenty by Mrs. Lucile D. Kirk, beauty editor of Parents Magazine, re veals that almost to a girl they believe there is room for in provement. One girl summed up the situa tion when she said, "Mother does many nice things for me, but rarely, alas, much for her self." However, the high school group were" proud of their moth ers friendliness, ability to get along with others, especially their teen-age friends, coopera- tiveness, and their "seemingly unlimited patience, understand ing, and sense of humor." Criticism was directed at such things as sparse eyebrows and lashes, lack of eye make-up when mother went out. Said one teen ager, "I guess after you get your man you don't need beauty aids any more." Other girls said they wished their mothers would use lipstick and powder not only on social outings but at home. One young critic raved about her mother s figure, "exception' al," she said for a woman of her age, which is forty. More typi cally, the teens thought their mXhers could efford to take off a few pounds but not by eating potato chips with low calorie soft drinks! On the credit side, many teens praised their mothers' dress and general appearance, but some criticized their mothers' practice of wearing old clothes or shorts for doing housework, or hair in pincurlers. Their mothers al lowed too much time to pass be tween permanents, wore the same hairdo too long, others said. Mothers don't have to doll up for their families was the con sensus but they should always look neat and attractive. One apologist felt, however, that per haps mothers neglect their per sonal beauty habits because their teen-age daughters demand too much.
