Margery B. I'm embar
rassed at the way my mother
dresses.
Mr. J, B. I must appear
In extreme and Interesting
costumes.
Margery B. I'm 15 and
It embarrasses me to have
my mother borrow my dres
ies and insist that we share
each other's outfits. My
friends' mothers look like
mothers. At least they dress
their age. But mine looks like
an over-age teenager, with
her skirts above her knees
and tons of junk jewelry all
over her.
It's all right while she's
on a job. But when she'a just
out for a walk with me, why
must she wear all that eye
shadow and green mascara
and purple lipstick? I almost
died last week when she met
me after school, She was wear
ing a wacky baseball hat. .
She's my mother and I love
her. But believe me, I don't
like to be seen with her. '
Mrs. J. B. Even though
I'm 35 and, mother of a 15-year-old
daughter, I take a
size 3 dress and I model for
fashion photographers and
magazine illustrators. I have
teen dimensions, but because
I'm tall I'm in demand for
certain extreme assignments,
too. As a divorcee, I'm for
tunate to be able to command
a comfortable income from
this employment. In a few
years I know I'll have to get
into some humdrum job, but
now I must present the im
pression of youth which
brings me and Margery,
too, despite her criticism
many luxuries we couldn't
afford from her father's sup
port money.
Margery is a squeamish,
prudish youngster and her big
joy in lite seems to be in find
ing fault with me. It probab
ly stems from ideas put into
her head by relatives she
stayed with who still have it
"in" for me.
The Council: Something In
this mother-daughter relation
ship cries "H e 1 p" because
each is making liie hard for
the other. With all the un
pleasantness which has enter
ed their lives in the past, lead
ing to divorce and Margery's
sojourn among carping .rela
tions, we'd expect these two
to be models of considerate
ness toward one another. But
Mother wears flashy theatri
cal outfits in public, and Dau
ghter sees no reason for same
save to embarrass her. '
Each can ameliorate the si
tuation via an unselfish look
at the other's position. Mrs.
B., in addition, might take a
cold hard look at herself in
a three-way mirror. Would a
sensitive teen-ager say, "That
is my Mother" with pride
or despair and apology?
For Margery's part she
might try to see the dutiful,
loyal mother beneath the fa
cade of cosmetic mask and
attention-getting styles. She
might balance her cries of
disapproval with as many
soft kind expressions of ap
preciation as she can frame.
She can muster some real ad
miration for the effort and
ambitiousness of this parent
who is going-it-alone emotion
ally and almost-alone (when
it comes to extras) financial
ly. But Mrs. B. must compart
mentalize her life more strict
ly, not only in response to
Margerys trouwea tcenngs.
i-,i,t alsn In thp interests of
reality for herself. Why can't
she bend every effort to sep
arate hrr nrofessional from
hpr nrivate life? Whv. when
thts becomes impossible, can
she not mouth a word of re
orct nnH pvnlanation for Mar-
t,. ,
Eery who longs for a conform
ist, tvne mother?
A'lsn Mrs. B. must realize
that no matter how "spring
time she thinks ne iooks
he a woman, not a teen
BnH 9i the statistics en. pos
sibly a grandmother in five
years. So the studied clforl
to look half her age may well
he making her look, to the
average eye, twice her age
what with the heavy-handed
bedecking of self. We've a
word to the wise (we hope
that's Mrs. B.) from a famous
Hollywood fashion consul
tant: "When a woman drescs
her age, she usually looks
10 years younger."
A little more attention to
the other j problems, and this
interesting family ran hpcome
a happier one.
