Ann
Landers

Syndicated
Columnist

Dear Ann Landers: | am sepa.
rated and in the process of a divorce.
l have met an extraordinary man
who is interested in marrying me
Everything about this man is ideal
except for his relationship with his
mother

Hank’ is in his 30s and still lives
at home. He was injured several
years ago and required a lot of at-
home care. His widowed mother is
yery nosy and extremely controlling.
Hank assumes that if we marry, I
will move into hismother’s home.

To complicate matters, Hank's
mother helped pay his medical bills,
$0 every payday, he hands over his
theck. She gives him an allowance
and pockets the rest

Ann, | was brought up to believe
@ husband and wife should live
together— alone. Newlyweds, espe-
tially, need privacy. With Hank's
mother doing the marketing, cooking
and other household chores, I would
fee! like a fifth wheel

Shouldn't a wife cook and care
for her husband? And if he hands
over his paycheck, how will we start
fo save for our funure?

Hank- doesn’t understand why I'm
80 apprehensive. I truly love him,
Ann, and I know I’11 never find
fanyone as loving and caring. I need
to know, Ann, if you think he is a
{mama's boy” who can t change or if
there is hope for us. — Cold Feet in
Minnesota

Dear Minnesota: Maybe the stars
fin your eyes are obscuring your
Mision, but I see red flags all over the
Place
| If you agree to move in with Hank

id his mother, you had better call
fe divorce lawyer now. There is no
jvay your martiage can survive if
‘Our mother-in-law runs the house-
ae and gets your husband's pay-
Pheck.

.
Your only hope is to get Hank to
gree to joint counseling so he can
hear from a third party that his moth-
Fie apron strings are strangling his
hance for happiness. I hope. for his
fake. that he agrees. It may be his
fast opportunity to declare his inde-
pendence and make a life for him
pelt I wish you luck

Home Improvement Tips
From

Carol Oglow

Wallcovering Can =
Dominate Decor or Unify Elements

the size of the room being decorated
A small-scale pattern can get lost in
a large room while a large pattern can
be overpowering in a small room.

It’s usually safe to match the size
of the pattern to the size of the room;
@ small pattern in a small room, a
large pattern in a large room

Think about the scale of the pattern
itself. Will it harmonize with other
design elements in the room? Does it
go with the furniture?

A contemporary room can get its
visual energy from a vigorous
geometric paper, deftly balanced by
the quiet solids of the carpet and
modular sofa, accented by the dotted
fabric coordinate on the chairs.

Whether planning a room around
wallcovering, or selecting wallcover-
ing to tie a room together, a balanced
custom look can result from the pro-
Per pattern choices.

When primary design focus in a
room is the drapes, the carpeting or
the upholstery, wallcovering can be
chosen in a coordinating pattern to
complete the decor.

| If this is the case, keep two things
about pattern in mind; color and
scale. Colors should be alike — scale
should not. Visual variety is the key

When a favorite wallcovering is the
beginning focus, it's easy to borrow
its colors for the rest of the fur.
nishings. A background color might
be used for the woodwork, for in
stance, a medium range for the
carpeting and the most outstanding
color for accents.

For the home decorator who wants
to pull everything together, a wallcov
ering collection with coordinating
fabrics, borders and accessories, such
as window treatments and pillows, can
do the trick

When choosing a pattern, consider
