Last night it happened again. | Bob telephoned at noon and said/ he'd be home for dinner at) 6:30. At 7:30 I fed the kids. At} 8:30 I ate alone. It was midnight} before I heard Bob's key in the} lock. He said he got involved in a game of billiards at the club, and I happen to know he was telling the truth. I work in an office although we don't need the money. I'm keeper who co to do his homework in the living jroo, wearing only under- shorts with his mother present? Thank you.--Only An Observer Dear Only: I don't have to call up anybody to answer this one. A 15-year-old boy should put on a robe or a shirt and trousers when he does his home- work in the living room with his mother present.

She'd have less laundry. What is your ad-| ' yice?--Fed Up To Here H Dear Fed: If your husband died of a heart attack tomorrow you'd cry your head off and berate yourself for not having made home a place where he wanted to spend more time. Marriage is not a 50-50 propo- sition. It's more like 80-20--with the wife doing 80 per cent of the giving, and yes, 80 per cent of the forgiving. She sets the emotional thermosat that warms the house or chills it. I know of very few husbands who have held a marriage to- gether, but I've known many wives who have done so--in spite of absent, thoughtless hus- bands. These women are the real champions in my book. Dear Ann Landers: Please or the raisin bran. Just when the butcher has finished clean- ing the meat grinder, she de- cides she wants a pound of ground beef. Then she says the lettuce looks wilted and she'd like a head from the cooler, Her favorite soft drink cases are empfy so she asks the boy to run downstairs and get two bot- tles of quench-a-cola. Mrs. Straggler has kept the cashier 20 minutes overtime. And then she pays her $4.20 bill in pennies. "I save these things," she says. "You'd be surprised how they mount up." Please print this letter, Ann. and I'll bet it will be pasted up on thousands of cash-registers all over the country. -- Ben Thru It =" Dear Ben: Here's your letter, but-don't expect it to perform miracles.
