IF I WERE EIGHTEEN AGAIN!
I would put off cigarette-smoking for another ten vears!
I would have a cocktail about as regularly as—Christmas ! I wouldn't break my heart over my first little " affair"—and imagine it was going to be the only one of my life! I would learn to play most games well, Instead of giving up all my time to ore! I wouldn't every boy kiss mc—just becaus« I didn't like to refuse. I wouldn't try to l>e older than I was!
I wouldn't make-up, unless my complexion was positively hopeless! I would make at least one girl friend—for keeps! I wouldn't look down on older people, end would take their advice—sometimes!
I would make up rny mind as to rny career, and then go in for it hammer-and-tongs!
T wouldn't just drift along in an aimless way.
I wouldn't, finish every sentence with a giggle 1
T wouldn't, hurst into (oars over 'ainy days or torn frocks or cancelled " dates." And. above nil—l wouldn't imagine that J was the special glittering ".star" that Hollywood was searching for all over tho world !
