Dear Ann Landers: My husband's reputation as the
nelghborhood Mr. Fixit Is well-known. It sooms he can't
say no toa mechanical or electrical challenge, which was
OK until an attractive widow down the street asked him
If he could get the squeak out of her wooden leg.

Before he could respond, she pulled up her skirt,
unstrapped her prosthesis right In our. Ilving room and
handed It to him. For an hour, she hopped around on one
leg, leaning on him (and anything elee handy} while he
busied himself In his workshop.

When It came time for her to leave, | assumed she
would want the privacy of the bedroom or the bathroom
to put her leg back on, but Instead she proceeded right In
front of my id. Since the Is above the
knee, he managed to see plenty.

The first ‘adjustment’ was three weeks ago. The
woman was very grateful and has been over here with
that leg of hers twice since. |'m afrald It's golng to be an
ongoing thing, and | don't like it.

How can | put my husband out of the artificial-leg-
repair business without looking like a Jealous shrew or a
heartless meanie? — His Wife
Dear Wife: When § first read your fetter, | thought, ‘‘It
sounds like the Yale boys are at It again.” So | checked
the envelope, and the postmark was Woburn, Mass.

{then called Dr. Aobert G. Addison of the
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and asked, ‘‘Does this
letter sound kosher?”’ He replied, ‘Yes, Indeed. The
hinge could be dry and In need of olling, or the prosthesis
may have a broken ball bearing. There could be
misalignment of the joint, or a loose part somewhere."*

So, having established the legitimacy of the letter —
what Is the advice? The wife should tell Mr. Fixit that
he's gotten enough kicks out of that teg, and If the widow
has any more trouble with It she should take It back to the
place that sold It to her and let them do the adjusting.

Dear Ann Landers: Bless you for printing that letter and
asking gym to the t iptal:

sald you were a klutz, not very tall and often the last one
to be chosen. Well, so was |.

'm a few years younger than you, but we went to
the same high school in Sioux City, lowa. 1 can recall
some other snobbish and hurtful practicas that flourished
in that era — for example, those so-called. literary clubs.
They no longer exist, thank heavens, which speaks well!
for the spirit of democracy.

With so many kids gone wrong, | believe it is useful

to point out that in many ways young people are better
human beings than we were 35 years ago. Will you
please comment? — Sarasota, Fla., Fan
Dear Sara: Gladly. Thank you for providing the
opportunity. | agree that today’s young peopte are less
snobbish [we used to say “‘stuck-up’’] than when | was In
school. They are also more caring, more sharing, less
conscious of color, race and religion, batter Informed
about world affairs and a [ot less eager to fight In a war. |
like these qualities — a lot.
Dear Ann Landers: Your female chauvinism shocked me.

After all these years of raising the seat before using the
facility (as a courtesy to the ladies) | am now told | have
‘poor taste.”” Am | expected to raise the seat when |

for the ‘'weaker sex’’ to do?

Barbecue
all year around

With everyone diet con-
scious, barbecuing of meat
and fish rather than frying is
increasingly the way to go.
An outdoor barbecue is great
fun—except in cold weather
or in the rain—so bring it in-
ide.

eramic tile is a “natural,”

A dark colored grout (the
