tanned legs are stretched lazily in front of me My hair is caught up in chiffon scarf topped by large brimmed hat that accentuates my classic cheekbones Whispers of Who is she sound like leaves nistling My large dark glasses reveal nothing wear single piece of jewelry around my necka suggestive gold toothbrush voice whispers Does anyone really know her Another voice answers back Does anyone know the wind was drowsin engaged in my fantasy at the pool last week when woman sat down and said You can sure tell lot about people by what they read returned my book to its plain brown wrappcr Books arent the only thing thats revealing she said can tell you things about yourself that possibly you never knew Take your voice you speak soft You knov what that means It means youre insecure Youre trying to hide something or youre afraid of something you dont want to hear Why are you doing that Doing what asked Making square knot with your feet That tells me something elseshe observed It tells me youre perfec tionist in an imperfect world Youre concerned ith image and are anxious to please bit procliin cvcn And your bathing suit reveals lot For example it you were wearing string bikini Id know you were girl who knows what she wants and how to get it onepiece suit tells me youre no nonsense and strong and cutout Iivulgcs youre aware of the impression you make on others And what does my suit tell you asked Im not sure Ive never interpreted one with sleeves and white collar before The color yellow though means youre pseudointellectual who would like to be successful but you never do anything you just talk about it As got up to get away she yelled can also tell you ve been here 41 hours by the depth of thc ridgcs on your legs She smiled and waved goodbye What shame she didnt read lips Pollys Einters India ink is tough to lift POLLYS PROBLEM DEAR POLLY spilled some black India ink on sweater washed the sweater few times and the spot seemed to fade some but now it just stays the same gray color If there is any way to get this out would ap preciate hearing about it AMY DEAR AMY India Ink stains are almost impossible to remove If they are allowed to dry Department of Agriculture bulletin suggests the following Remove all pigment so the stain will not spread Wash with detergent and let stain soak in warm suds to which you have added one to four tablespoons ammonia for each quart of water Dried stains may have to be soaked overnight If the ammonia changes the color of the sweater sponge first with water and then moisten with white vinegar

seconds WILLA DEAR POLLY As so many of my friends have used and liked my way of cleaning grills and oven racks thought would like to share it with all your readers Iut barbequc grills or oven racks in large heavy garbage bag and then pour one to one and half cups of ammonia in the bag Tip the bag back and forth to spread the ammonia around after ticing the bag Leave outside overnight and spray it the next day with the hose to finish the job SHIRLEY DEAR POLLY Often recipes call only for thc yolks of eggs think have come up with unique way to save the whites store each egg white in separate

and soak them in water When the pieces bccomc soft stir them thoroughly and if need be add more water use this soapy water to pour in bathtubs sinks toilet bowls and then use brush or rag to clean
