The problem is his tempe: If the car won't start, Sam will break the windshield with his fist or kick a dent in the fender. The shirts had better be ironed perfectly or he will tear them to pieces. Once, when the TV broke, he hit me with the antenna and I had to have 22 stitches in my leg. It is because of last night that I am writing this letter. was sitting in the rocking chair reading and all of a sudden "T can't stand that squeaking noise." He picked up the rocking chair with me in it and heaved it out the front door, My head hit the cement steps and I'm lucky to be alive. Sam yelled: My friends say Sam is a nu and I am crazier than he is for putting up with him. Can you help me?--Purple Heart Ache Dear Purple: Dear Ann Landers: I am a mother with three children un- der five years of age. They are all sick today because a stupid, inconsiderate relative brought over two youngsters with run- ning noses and hacking coughs. One of the young visitors was red as a beet and I'm sure he had a temperature. I wouldn't think of taking my children any place when they aren't well.

Rejuvenating Used Furniture Can Save Newlyweds Money By ELEANOR ROSS Letters to our desk ask for some follow-up suggestions for doing over second-hand or used furniture, so much in demand these days. Newlyweds and young folk furnishing their own little place away from home are avid cus- tomers for used pieces. Which Means, of course, that. prices are soaring as the demand in- creases. So unless a chair, table, sofa or whatever, can be put in working order reasonably, don't buy no matter how beautiful it is. Of course, if it is a terrific bargain and worth professional care--which is expensive--then let your pocketbook help you decide. Before buying a used chair, test its sturdiness by lifting it up and supporting it on its front right leg. Pull each leg separ- ately to test if any are loose. Exert pressure on the back of the chair to determine its over- all solidity. If any part is loose, but not too much so, it might be tightened with glue. CANES ARE BACK Chairs with seats, backs, or sides of cane are much in de- mand. Caned pieces are making a comeback after many years. If the cane portions are so broken that they must be re- placed, this is a job for the pro- fessional caner. Much of this in many institutions for the blind or by professional caners. If the cane is sturdy but just a little dirty, this is easy to suds and leave it to dry for sev- eral days. The cane can then be shellacked with a mixture com- posed of equal parts of white shellac and denatured alcohol. If the cane seat has sagged, the water will help shrink it taught again. Painted or enameled furniture that is dirty should be washed with "dry" suds, made by squishing a sponge in sudsy water to build up a lather with- out dripping water. Wipe all surfaces well with this lather, then rinse-wipe with a damp cloth. A séries of two or three such treatments may be neces- sary to clean a painted piece thoroughly -- but the results should be well worth the effort that is involved. Painted pieces are very much in demand these days, espe- cially by young folk--and their elders, too.

They're still erratic, as they have been since the First World War, but the trend for spring represents a break with the fashions of the last 10 years.

KEEP IN TRIM Many coats and some dresses hint at a waistline by the use of back half-belts. Christian Dior-New York confines loose back fullness with this martin- gale effect. Half belts are espe- clally effective in the popular militaire style. Belts come in all sizes and fabrics, from the broad belts featured by Pauline Trigere, as in her black patent belted coat of white, grey and black blocks, to the slim thong belts favored by Stavropoulos to accent a tat- tersall coatdress and a navy wool gabardine dress. Tournaye, for Modelia, losely tied his thong belts low on the hips. And Simonelli, for the same house, introduces a gold link belt with a classic white suit and printed blouse.

In Paris, Christian Dior and Balenciaga introduced the waistless sacque. The following year, as the chemise in New Tage. Since then several abortive attempts have been made to reintroduce the waistline but women preferred the straight- line freedom. With last year's revival of the tent silhouette, waistlines seemed doomed in- definitely. Now, suddenly, there's a con- certed effort to bring back shape. Designers are talking about "training the eye to more fitted proportions." This is mostly accomplished by belts. As Oscar de la Renta sums it up: "Although there are belts on almost everything, they are used to condition the eye to the waistline rather than to tightly | cinch it in." Not that there's any unanim- ity on where the waistline should be: Some designers, such as Pauline Trigere, are for natural waistlines. Her fitted and flared silhouette is com- pleted with a wide belt. She notes that women have enjoyed a relaxed silhouette for so long they will have to relearn pos-' ture and fight excess weight.
