quite commit ted to the life they lead their husbands and their families ENRICIIMENT WANTED What theyre really looking for is enrichment not drastic change says Mrs Beecroft She adds that drastic

opportuni ty to hear from so many women she says NO SET ANSWERS These arent sessions that provide set answers Were just giving people the opportunity to look at what is important to them make goals and then look at action steps they can take Despite signs that changes are taking place in the way children are raised which may cause fewer women to suffer from poor self images and lack of confidence in the future many today still feel malaise Women were given false ex pectations of what our lives would be like Most still have the Sleeping Beauty script in their minds to tell them to please other people not to be too demanding or abrasive and feed mens egos Often marriage does not end up being what theyd expected and theres disappointment sense of being let down people plaoes

cardboard to guard against wrinkles It would be his last brush with systematic packing Yesterday he told me his packing was complete opened the closet door There was nothing left in it except red vest and bow tie left over from high school In case you decide to wait tables you may have nothing to wear said drny He grabbed it off the hanger and stuffed it into his flight bag Pollys Pointers Best to place dishes better DEAR IIIY Sometimes an aluminum pan rubs against dishes in the dishwasher and leaves Silvery mark on them hope someone can tell me how to overcome this PAT DEAR PAT Of course the best thing is to arrange things in the dishwasher so no aluminum or stainless steel rubs against china But when this does happen the only way have found to remove the marks is to use toothpaste PIIY

iour white vinegar on the area rub Ill gently and then wash the garment the usual way have done this to cotton Tshirts cottons with blends sweaters IKII wrote about problem wtth and cotton and blend dress shirts PAULINE DEAR READERS Even though Pauline has had constant luck with the white vinegar do test on your own particular fabric before diving in and putting it on cyerything IIIY DEAR PIIY
