\ 14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, Merch 8, 1967 a Cures Dear An Landers: I am 15 ears old and a former shop- ifter, a part of my past of which I am not too proud. 1} want to share my experience) with others and I hope you will) allow me to do so through your wonderful column I started to pick up small) {tems in the dime stores when I was about 11 years old. I'd help myself to lip nail pol- ish, earrings, ar s I could stuff in a ve up| my sleeve dn't think I was doing an wrong. All I thought about was how clever I was to get away without being caught. Six months ago I took an ex- pensive wool skirt right under the saleslady's nose. I simply went into the fitting room to try on suits and blouses anfi I walked out of the store wearing the skirt under my dress. For two weeks I was half-sick with guilt. I didn't dare wear the skirt because my mother would ask where it came from. couldn't sleep at night for fear she would find it. J couldn't con- centrate on my school work. Fi- nally I broke down and told my mother what I had done. She didn't holler or faint. She just said, "We are taking the skirt back to the store. You will tell the store manager what you did and you will then pay for the skirt out of your allowance." I did it, Ann, and I have felt like a new person ever since. I wouldn't steal another thing for all the money in the world. I have learned my lesson and I thank God I learned it before I got picked up by detectives. All the psychologists in the world can't figure out exactly why people steal. I don't know ANN LANDERS Understanding Mother \likes to sleep in his wife's night- I\puttons are like rocks and the Teen - age Thief kids everywhere that I am 100 per cent happier now than I have ever been in my life.-- Ex-Thief Dear Ex: Your new - found happiness is the result of a clear conscience. Thank you for writing. I hope all teen-agers with taking ways will get the message. Dear Ann Larders: You prob- ably have heard enough about this subject but I must have my say. I didn't like your snide re- mark that just because a man gown there must be something wrong with him. My husband told me a long time ago that his pajamas were uncomfortable and he wanted to borrow my nightgown. Just to see what he was talking about I slept in his pajamas one night. Have you ever slept on a piece of rope? Well, that's what the waist cord feels like, The seams in the trousers cut into me like a knife. You will not be allowed to print this letter because your advertising de- partment would catch the devil from your men's stores and, after all, money is what keeps newspapers going.--The Truth is Dead Dear Friend: Sorry about Truth--I didn't even know it was sick. Thanks for writing. Confidential to Sand In My Eyes: You mean "Rocks in Your Head," don't you? Stay with your family and live up to your responsibilities. Your "problem" has nothing to do with geography. It stems from immaturity and a refusal to why I stole, but I can tell all face life. Fragile Lace, Dainty Linen Respond Well To Sudsing By ELEANOR. ROSS Winter holiday and hospitality times have taken a toll of table finery. An attractively set table means beautiful, fragile linens, lace doilies, runners and such.

A 72-inch plaid scarf can be used to encircle a crown-and- brim style, puffing out in a large bow at one side.
