MRS. ROSS THATCHER WOMEN'S WORLD ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I am on a diet and am losing weight at the rate of two pounds a week. My doctor is very pleased with me because I have gone from 170 pounds to 135. Last evening my husband and I went into the drug store to get some blades. The druggist who has always been a friendly person, said, 'My, but you look wonderful. Let's see where the weight is coming off." I was surprised that he would get so personal, especially with my husband standing there. I was even more surprised when my husband said, 'Take off your coat and show him, Tessie." With that, the druggist came around from behind the counter, put his hands around my waist and gave mea couple of pats on the behind. I was. shocked. My husband said, 'Nice, eh?" When we got out of there I gave my husband a piece of my mind. He said a druggist is like a doctor, and it was all right for him to do this. We argued half the night. Please tell me if I am wrong. If I am I will apologize. If not, I want him to know it--for the next time.-- TESSIE Dear Tessie: It was nice of the druggist to compliment you but the Braille reading was out of order. It's nice, too, that your hus- band is proud of your progress, but he should not have invited the druggist to be his guest. Dear Ann Landers: We have three children, 12, 10, and 5. My mother has made her home with us since the first year of our marriage. We all love her dearly. Grandma is in the hospital and the doctors say she cannot live more than a few more weeks. She keeps asking to see the children and they want to go see her but my husband says we should not allow it. He is afraid they will be frightened as guidance.

During the time you also could vary his fun by asking him occasionally to hand you three beans, for example.
