DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: Ever since
I've been married, on special
occasions like Christmas, nv
anniversary or birthday, my
husband gives me presents I
can't brag about. What /
mean is, / am glad to get a
new refrigerator or stove or
washing machine, but do you
think household appliances
can be considered gifts?
Please don't think I am un-
appreciative, but just once I
wish my husband would give
me some luxury item on a
special occasion.

Send me your name and ad-
dress and III tip him off. But
don't blame me If you get q

DEAR ABBY: Here Is the
story: A college man invited
his mother to parents week
end. She drove over 200 miles
and arrived Friday afternoon.
Her son spent one hour with
her, then disappeared with
her car for the rest Of the day
and that entire evening. Sat-
urday morning he spent an
other hour with her, and then
took off again in her car for
the rest Of that day and eve
ming. In the meantime, the
mother wandered around the
campus alone, trying to follow
the program planned for the
parents. Everywhere she saw
college students with their
parents. Was she justified in
going to his dormitory, using
her duplicate car keys and
leaving early Sunday morning
without bidding her son good
by? She left word at the

on the condition in Diseases

to dust from hay which was
harvested in wet weather.

women in "slim and 1.-the"
trousers are that way them
selves, and if that's really
"the pantS-look you like"
you'd better take another
look, lady.
There are, I've been told,
five different kinds of trousers
for women: capri pants, clas-
sic jeans, rider jeans, pedal
puSherS, and ranch pants. To
my unframed eyes, they all
look pretty much alike, except
that pedal puShers and rider
jeans are shorter than the
others.
l don't object to ranch pants
on a ranch or at a riding

The trousers now affected

how the wearers get them on

explanation may be that the

then buy a pair of pants, re-

them.
But a friend to whom I
