Honest Ill bet the true number of Bedroom Sarah Ber nhardts in this world would be shockeven to you Yes am one of the vast army of actresses Why do we do it Because we love our men and dont want them to feel inad uate We accept the fact that we have been biologically ortchanged by Mother Nature and it isnt an bodys fault No woman ever enjoys sex as much as man 065 and she never will So we just go on doing our little act Knowing that our men are satisfied is enough for us Do you have the guts to print this Enjoying Nothing But the Applause in Kansas City Dear KC If the applause is all youre enjoying you are gypping yourself plenty Your basic theory is incorrect and hope you will have the guts to discuss your problem with therapist so you can begin to experience what is rightfully yours Dear Ann Youre great girl but lau my head off when somebody catches you off base an you have to apologize publicly Well you really goofed it up in recent answer and so far you havent said youre sorry Someone wrote in about obscene telephonecallsYou sug gested getting an unlisted number and signed off with Im glad Im not in the telephone book Good night all Dont you realize that being unlisted wont do you any good If some nut hap nod to ring you up at random he wouldnt even know you were he could continue to pester you regardless Nothing personal but your picture in the Seattle PostIn telligencer looks like gal named Dottie who ditched me for guy named Dave True or false NonyMouse Dear Non First Of course youre right but changing to an unlist number would certainly reduce the odds Second Im not Dottie and that picture in the RI doesnt look like me wish theyd put in real hotograph or try for better drawing Complain for me wi you Youre sub scriber and Im not Dear Ann Landers Way back in 1947 when my fiancee and went to the clergyman to make arrangements for our wedding he said dont want to perform this ceremony because dont think on two will last together six montls The only reason Im oing it is because your families have been members of my congregation for so long Two years later the clergyman had nervous breakdown Im not sure whether or not his shame had anything to do with his collapse but it wouldnt surprise me if it did He couldnt took my wife or me in the eye at our first an niversary party In view of the fact that we are celebrating our 30th wed ding anniversary next month think you should advise the minister with guilty conscience who is in similar spot to forget it No one can predict whether two people can make their marriage work Ill admit ours hasnt been 30 years total bliss but in the main its been pretty darned good ABG Dear ABG doubt that the clergymans wigging out had anything to do with you but Im glad your marriage worked in spite of the gloomy predictions You are right when you say nobody can be sure All maniages are happy as livin together afterwards thats tough Erma Bombeck Poor models need some help Psst hey fellas Wanta know where you can get rated girlie magazine so respectable you could bring home to your mother Pick up any department or clothing store catalogue these days and head for the underwear section opened Christmas book from my favorite department store the other day and right there between leather goods and floor polisher were two pages of models in semistages of nudity They wore pleated panties satin body sutts beaded camisoles monogrammed bikinis and nightgowns so sheer you had to wear em under coat Dont misunderstand me The underwear didnt shock me It was the poor deformed girls modelling them They had hipbones that looked like clothing hooks legs that separated at the knees and funny curves that dented in at the oh what do you call those little devils waists wanted to throw coat over all of em and feed em hot chicken soup As said to Mayva lts cruel to exploit some poor girl who cant put on few extra pounds Dont you think so Mayva Mayva asked you question She had the book three inches from her face What are these squinted for closer look Im not sure but think theyre kneecaps Do we have two told you pregnancy absorbs them into the blood stream These women obviously are childless dont know whether to believe you or not You told me thin arms cause nasal congestion Besides our kids are teenagers Trust me Besides no one is going to wear those scanty bits of satin and lace Those halfstarved women are nothing but fad Someday your style of lingerie will come back Youd think theyd show at least one model wearing our underwear with the cutaway front with the elastic They do Mayva said Theyre under maternity Dab cologne on lights DEAR POLLY can remember that my mother used to spray liquid incense on light bulbs in quantity that was just enough to make the house smell good would like to know if there is such thing on the market and where it could be purchased DEAR JS really do not know if you could buy liquid incense but would imagine that If it is available you would find it in an Oriental shop and there should be many of those in your part of California In lieu of this try dabbing bit of cologne or perfume on your light bulbs know this works well as have done it Also there are now many candles with lovely scents and when having guests light one and let it burn all evening POLLY DEAR POLLY had the same problem Pauline has with cat odors and tried washing using disinfectant and so on but nothing did any good until remembered how cat litter kills odor so sprinkled some clean litter on the spots very thickly and left it for several days If the first time does not work repeat it When vacuumed it up the odor was gone HARRIET DEAR POLLY My Pet Peeve involves people mothers and fathers particularly who hold small children by the hands lift them bodily to allow them to jumb curbs and swing them along the street or the seashore in this manner have seen this hundreds of times Evidently these people do not realize they can pull the childrens arms out of the sockets causing excruciating sin and agony until they are gotten to doctor or hospita have also witnessed this several times Once witnessed never forgotten believe me CAROLYN DEAR POLLY For stiffening crocheted snowflakes to hang on the Christmas tree dissolve equal amount of white glue and water and mix well Dip snowflakes into this and then shape on flat surface such as the bathtub top of the washer etc Let them dry thoroughly and they will have lasting stiffness JACKIE DEAR POLLY My Pointer is for dog and cat lovers When open can of tuna or other canned fish save the oil and put it on the cat or dogs dry food Your cat will really enjoy the fish flavor and it also helps to get rid of hair balls or constipation MRS GB DEAR POLLY You did good ob telling the reader how to make purses from plastic tu but would like to suggest the use of key punch to make the holes in the plastic It leaves clean hole while the rough one made with an ice pick might dray the wool make such purses too
