DEAR ABBY
Mother-in-L1w Picks Pattern
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: I'm Just an
average woman and have
been married TO a man who
is good to me but is very
careful with his money. I've
been saving for a good set
Of dishes. I've wanted this
certain pattern ever since I
was married but we couldn't
afford them. My husbands
mother has all kinds Of
money. She knew what dishes
I liked, But she sent me an
enormous set for our ami
versary (good dishes they
were) thereby killing my
chances of ever owning the
dishes I wanted. l am Just
sick over this. My husband
says we can't hurt his mo-
theirs feelings by exchanging
them and besides she visits
often and would know. Have
a solution, Abby?
WRONG DISHES
Ask your mOther-in-law
respectfully if she'd have
any objections to your ex-
changing the dishes for the
ones you wanted. If she is
mean enough to object, go
ahead and buy the dishes
you've saved for anyway.
You've earned this luxury.

From the very first mo-
ment you contact a doctor
you have entered into a part
nership. 1t is nothing 'le-
gal" You haven't signed
any papers. You haven't
made any promises to one
another. Nevertheless, it can
turn out to be the most i'm
portant decision you have
made in your life.
You are now a member OF
a health team" Neither can
succeed without the other.
Your doctor may be lone OF
the best" Yet, your partner
ship can go bankrupt sim
ply because you are not a
good patient.
Likewise, you may be one
of the best patients, yet your
health and life may be in
danger, because your doctor
is not as good a doctor as
you might have chosen for
your needs.
Therefore, let me give you
a few pointers that may help
preserve your health and life
by preventing your partner
ship from going bankrupt.
First, here's how to choose
a good doctor:
/. Don't depend alone
upon the recommendations OF
neighbors and friends. In
veStigate in your library or
call your local medical So
ciety You must first learn
if your doctor is an MD. in
good standing. If he says he
is a specialist, is he so con-
sidered by the other mem
bers of the profession?
2 If you have a surgical
condition go to a good sur
geon for treatment. If you
have a heart condition, don't
expect good heart care by a
surgeon = no matter how
clever with the knife. Many
people think a good doctor
is a good doctor for every
thing" Even a good general
practitioner knows his limita-
tons
3. Ask your doctor If he
makes house calls and night
calls. Some do ana some oon U
because of the nature OF
their work. Such knowledge
will prevent misunderstood
ing later on.
4. Discuss freely fees and
expenses before they are in
Cured. Many's the patient
who has cussed out his doc
tor as a robber; the very
same doctor whom he loved
so much" for bringing him
comfort and actually Saving
his life" A frank discussion
earlier would have prevented

Mormon Item Brings ST 900

Chicago's Newberry Ii
.brary, one Of the worlds
great rare book repositories,
zrecently announced the
acquisition Of one Of the
seven known copies Of an i'm
portant Mormon pamphlet
that every collector in the
field would like TO own.
This 48-page item. with a
drawing of an Indian on the
cover, is James Jesse Strang's
"Ancient and Modern Michi-
limackinac." published In st.
james, Mich. in 1854. The
'Newberry Library describes 1t
as the only responsible source
for the history Of the Strang-
tie faction among the Nor
mons in the middle Of the last
century.
Its cover title reads:

kept out of the picture.
Frank. for example, may be
projecting some of his own
difficulties on to Adele. 1t
certainly confuseS the pic
ture.
Frank and Adele are so
close in age that it is hard
for them to find separate
circles of friends. but they
should make an effort to do
exactly that. Each will have
a greater sense of freedom
and will be able to develop So
cially in his own individual
way.
When they are older and
less critical of themselves
they will find that they see
fewer faults in one another.
They viii also be more toll
lerant of the shortcomings
they do see.

WHAT CONTRIBUTION
to the partnership can you
make? What are some quail

/. The best doctor in the
world cannot practice good
medicine unless he has "a CO.
operative patient. Follow di-
rections. For example, if the
doctor says don't smoke
that's just what he means.
He isn't saying 1T to be con-
trary. All he may be trying
to do is save your heart, or
heal your ulcer, or prevent
you from losing a leg by am

Frank Blair makes his own
breakfast. AS a top NBC
commentator, he earns $780,
600 a year and has two do
mestics on the third floor
of his house in Irving-on-
Hudson. He hasn't got the
heart to awaken anyone at
this hour. He drinks juice,
and chops ham into scram-
bled eggs, makes toast and
coffee.
Dressing is completed at
4:42 am. and he trotS back
into the garage. There are
two cars. He drops into one
and throws gravel as the
car spins out of the drive
way. No one is on the road
at this hour, except a big
Diesel loafing under a black
plume enroute to Albany.
Mr.. Blair is a, dark, hand

Dawn comes up timid. The
commentator pulls a rosary
from the glove compartment.
1t is in a plastic case with a
little digital counter. He says
his morning prayers.
He cuts across town at 56th

and gray. The skyscrapers
square their huge shoulders

and walks swiftly to the RCA

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

ORDER: British Actor
Manager Sir Herbert Beer
bohm Tree was extremely
absent-minded. and no one
knew it better than he.
One afternoon, during a
break in rehearsal, he left the
theater and went to a YES
taurant for lunch. He was
still carrying the script with
him. Seating himself at a
table, he spread the script cut
in front of him and became
engroSSed in it.
The waiter, hesitating to
intrude upon his thoughts,
lowered about the table.
Thirty minutes passed, and
Tree still hadn't spoken a
word. Then he glanced at
his watch and looked up.
Waiter" he said, "if I have
had my lunch, please bring me
the check. If not. bring me
some roast beef"
APPRECIATION: Eccen-
trio Pianist Vladimir de
Pachmann insisted that his
audiences enjoy the music
that he played for them.
One night, at a concert, he
played a long, unmelodious
number which had his listen
ers squirming in their seats.
When it was over there was
only a ripple of applause.
you didn't like it?" said De
Pachman, with a hint Of
menace. "Then I will play
it again. Maybe you will like
it the second time!"
So saying, he played the
number again. This time
the audience took no chances.
The applause was resounding,

One of Adele's problems is
that she is very shy. She

ties, but you can't shut her

has to learn something about
sports so she'll have some

She'll rah rah at football
games, but when I try to ex-
plain something to her she
doesn't even listen.
Adele complains to my par
ents when she hasn't any

wears her hair in a way that
makes her look like a nut -
real long and stringy and
won't do anything about that

Parents are sometimes in

and they want to help the
younger with any social

However, this is an error.

The formation caught the
Cadets by surprise Saturday.
bringing two, touchdowns before
the Cadets could adjust their

out of it like Army's version, "
