Shopping Tip
If you can't find what you need
in the petite department, try the
junior section.
Another alternative is the boy's
wear department for separates like
pants and shorts. For dresses and
suits, particularly those with a natural
waistline, short women will usually
have to shop in the misses size depart
ments.

amin Whitley Pulley. The Rev.

Laser 'Sees' Through Cataracts
A tiny laser that "sees" through
cataracts to determine whether surgery
can restore a patient's eyesight has
been developed at the University of
California, Berkeley.
Now getting its first use in India,
the new optical instrument can de
tect whether a patient's retina (or
fine vision center in the eye) has
simply been obstructed by a cataract
or is no longer functioning.
With this information, vision spe
cialists can predict whether surgical
removal of the cataract will allow
the patient to see again .
Parents Walk Line When
Raising Their Teenagers
Nobody ever said it was easy
to parent a teenager. "Teen
agers are pulling away from
their parents. And the parents
must trust them to make their
own decisions, even though they
see them making mistakes. If
teens are to learn to make de
cisions, they must have the free
dom to make choices," says Dr.
Cynthis Johnson, extension hu
man development specialist at
North Carolina State University.
"Because teens lack ex
perience, they often make poor
judgments and take dangerous
risks. They're influenced by the
media, their peers and other
adults. They definitely need the
knowledge to make decisions
when you're not around," Dr.
Johnson says. "You need to
provide your teenagers with
facts, figures and consequences
of behavior. The knowledge you
give them may help them make
wise decisions or choices. "
The parents of teenagers
walk a narrow line, because
they must provide rules as well
as freedom. "Rules provide
structure and boundaries in the
family. Rules can cover topics
like dating, parties, driving,
alcohol and drugs, friends,
curfews, expected behavior and

places to go," Dr. Johnson says.
"This is an excellent time to talk
about values and how values are
linked to family rules. Let your
teenager know your standards
about drugs, sex, obeying the
law and cheating. They may not
always support your values, but
they need to know what they
are."
Rules are most likely to be
followed if:
?they are reasonable and
clear;
?your teenagers understand
the reasons for the rules;
?your teens have input into
making the rules; and
?the rules are consistently en
forced.
"They rely upon you for
emotional support, and they ex
pect you to bail them out of dif
ficult situations," Dr. Johnson
notes. Most importantly, teens
need the family's constant sup
port and love. "Remember that
it's healthy for a child to pull
away from an adult. This will
lessen some of the inevitable
tension."

TEXTURES: MIX OR MATCH
Textural interest is one of the
most important contributions that
can be made by carpets and rugs
to the overall decoration of a room.
In addition to increasing comfort
and helping to absorb sound, soft
floor coverings can balance or in
tensify the "feel" of your design.
Carpets can provide a textural
counterpoint for the sleek surface
of woods used in furniture, flat
fabrics and wall coverings with
sheen. New types of rugs and
carpets on the market range from
those with velvety-soft piles to
shaggy ones with a hand-crafted
look. Some combine high-cut and
low pile, lending a pleasantly
informal air to the decor.
The rugs and carpets called
shags are particularly effective in
combination with country and pro
vincial furnishings. Their rough
textures are a nice complement to
the sturdy lines of chairs, tables
and sofas.
On the other hand, you might
wish to match the carpeting with
your other furnishings to heighten
the effect. A tightly-woven com
mercial carpet can combine with
contemporary pieces to give you
an efficient, clean, ultra-modem
look.
