Some daughters marry at 20or 22; set up happy little homes, go in for the ideal round of babies, hospitalities, home and social interests. Other daughters dance and flirt for a year or two, plan kitchen showers and bathroom showers for the other girls, wear bridesmaids frocks, but dont marry. Independent Daughter. Then at perhaps 24 or 25, they demand independence. They want to go away from home, to join Peg or Joan in a separate establishment, to manage their own friendships and coming and going, to report to the family at home only when the fancy strikes them. They take jobs, interesting jobs in bookstores or tearooms. or they join friends who are doing interior decorating, selling real estate, or studying art, dancThey build for ing. photography. themselves lives so fascinating and absorbing that they really dont need Mother and Dad any more, and often they are somewhat heartless m their frankness in showing it.
