I have been a full-time post- man for six years and not one lady has met me at the door in a transparent negligee. To be truthful, I haven't received a single offer, not even for a cup of coffee. Do I have a problem, Ann Landers?--Ignored Dear Ig: It depends on how much you like coffee. Dear Ann Landers: I don't know who else to ask so I am following the crowd and writing to Ann Landers. I have a shop- ping cart in my garage and I don't know what to do with it. Many years ago I had a large family and no car. The stores where I did my marketing al- lowed me to carry my groceries home in the carts, I always re- turned them, but for some mys- terious reason this one cart re- mains in our garage. I now have a car and use it to do my marketing. Every time I go into the garage and see that etbook. So check around, girls, and get those carts back to the market where they belong. Dear Ann Landers: I am a 14-year-old house cleaner. I do the dinner dishes every night and I also mop, dust and scrub the whole downstairs whenever I get so fed up with the dirt that I can't stand it anymore. The problem is my 19-year-old sister.

MULLIGAN SAIGON (AP)--Red-haired, dark-eyed Michele Ray, the free-lance French journalist who walked out of 21 days captivity in a Viet Cong vil- lage, has always been a charming self-iconoclast. Her specialty seems to be breaking down the image she had of herself and that others conjure up too rapidly from the realities of her obvious beauty and cool glamor. As a cover girl and high- fashion model in Paris, she was the despair of Coco Cha- nel, the grande dame of French fashions who liked her models soft and feminine. Ev- ery weekend and in the lull between winter and summer showings, Michele was always roaring off in her MG sports car to the Swiss Alps or the Riviera to sweep up trophies in road racing rallies and dangerous hill climbs. As a war correspondent in Vietnam, she was everything Madame Chanel wanted her to be in Paris. She was soft and feminine and invariably lady-like, which made her icy courage stand out in even greater contrast to some of her earthier sister journalists who liked to cuss and discuss the war with the troops on their own boisterous terms. Even when changing a tire in Viet Cong country, while at- tempting a daredevil drive from the tip of South Vietnam to the demilitarized. zone, she never lost her courage or her charm. That may have saved her life when enemy guerril- las surrounded her, PLAYED CARDS As a prisoner in a Viet Cong village, Michele turned out to be the exact opposite of what her captors had expected after listening to decades of anti- French propaganda. "They thought all French women were fat and squat and morose from bad livers,"' she says in recalling the effect her slender 5-9 figure and her disciplined determination to remain cheerful had on her guards. She played cards with them, laughed with them at )5.sang for them in a voice that the rain and the mud, even sang for them in a voice that she calls '"'just 'orr-eeble." They in turn composed poems to her, wrote endlessly. in their diaries about her, tried to fatten her up with meals of rice and fish every two hours. They had a special pair of black pyjamas made for her, because the regular guerrilla uniform for the di- minutive Viet Cong was not available in her tall size. Luckily for her, the guards never did find out there was more to Michele than amiable beauty and the words 'bao chi'? and "phap," the only two words of Vietnamese that she knew and which she kept saying over and over again to remind them that she was a journalist and French. She had hidden her American press credentials in the up- holstery when her _ white French Dauphine car was sur- rounded, to keep the Viet Cong from suspecting her of being an agent or a member of the military. NEVER GAVE UP If she occasionally became depressed, she says, she never gave up hope of being either freed by the Viet Cong, or liberated by the Americans who she knew were operating nearby. To help leave a trail, she gave away her jewelry, the last mementos of that high fashion world that seemed light years away, to the old women who brought her food and to the children in the village. who came to gawk at her. Perhaps only someone with her combina- tion of resiliency and hauteur could have survived such an ordeal. Born into a well-to-do fam- fly in Nice, the French Riv- jera. capital, Michele was married at 16 to a French land surveyor and lived in French Africa for five years. Her son Patrick was born there. Divorced at 21, Michele | "sulked around the Riviera doing nothing for a whole | year" -- as she put it -- and | gravitated to Paris, where she opened a beauty shop, then became a cover girl for | Elle, French fashion maga- | zine, and a model for the | house of Christian Dior. Perhaps the need for a sit- | down hobby after hours of | promenading through the sal- | ons of haute couture drew her | to the daring delights of auto | racing. She won-the first event | she entered: a three-day road | race for women from Paris to St. Raphael. CROSSED CONTINENT Her love for auto racing | and her friendship with a | French movie director led to | her first big journalistic ad- | venture. With three other | girls, she drove in a two-car | expedition from the tip of | South America to Anchorage, | Alaska, the length of North | and South America, or at least | as far as the highways went. The 1965 expedition, spon- sored by the Renault auto firm, resulted in a prize-win- ning movie and a series of magazine articles that launched Michele on the pic- ture circuit, | From it also came the idea | and the money for the 650- | | mile drive up the length of South Vietnam along bomb- cratered roads and through Viet Cong - ominated prov- | inces that military convoys have yet to traverse. On Dec. 8, in a one-year- | old Renault Dauphine spe- cially armor - plated and | fitted out with sandbags | For late-day town wear, this trim little jacket fash- joned of borgana pile is a smart, warm, cuddlesome topper when a full-length coat would be a bit cum- bersome. The notched col- lar, double row of golden buttons, set-in sleeves and pockets -- all popular style SOFT TOPPING details -- add to its chic- ness. Made in sizes 6 to 16, it comes in seven colors: beige, black, autumn oak, green, camel, oyster and navy. It will also make a good season spanner for daytime wear over a trim suit. ---By Tracy Adrian drove off out of Saigon and | headed for Camau, the south- | ern tip of Vietnam. For the | next nine weeks she drove alone along Vietnam's war- wrecked, ambush-laden roads, north and on to the central highlands. STOPPED BY VC Several times she was stopped at Viet Cong check- points, but was waved on after showing her credentials. With less than one - fifth of the trip left, she came to a portion of road north of Bong Son that was -badly cut. She was photographing the im- passable road when she was | surrounded, captured and bound Jan. 17. | Three weeks later, after an | all-night walk from a Viet | Cong village, she was deliv- | ered by her guerrilla captors to a man on a motorbike, who drove her to a Vietnamese | government regimental out- | post and freedom. | Now she is busy writing the memoirs of her 21-day captiv- ity for Life magazine, which has bought the U.S. rights. Michele denies she set out to be captured -- to find out | how the other half of the war | lives. She is not sure whether she will go back and finish her trip, but one desire tantalizes her as she recovers from her | i | gainst land mines, Michele experience: "After six months of war and mud and filth I would like to go back to Paris for a month and model an original collection," she said.
