DEAR ABBY; Last week I
wrete o long letter to my girl
friend and asked my mother
to mail 1t for me. I know
my mother read 1t because
she's been asking me about
q lot Of things I mentioned
in the letter.
The things I wrote in the
letter were not true. ! know
1t was wrong to make up
things, but my girl friend
writes about the places she
goes and the good times
she is having and I wanted
her to think I was doing those
things, too.
Now I'm afraid my mother
viii never believe a word I
say. How can I heal my
guilty conscience and get my
mother to trust me again? !

The unusual desk, lovely
