Ann LANDERS

‘Dear Ann Landers: Please tell your women readers that no matter how much they pay for a dress, they have no guarantee that it is the only one in existence. How a woman behaves whien she goes to 8, party and runs into someone who has the fdentical number reveals a great dea! about her character. *

My husband worked his way up from janitor to president ofa bank. I remember my first really good dress, I bought it 15 years ago and it cost $100. I felt like a queen when I put it on. Off we went to a banker's dinner and the firat woman I saw at the

reception had on the identical dress, I smiled at her. She looked

horror-atricken and avoided me the entire evening as if] had some loathsome disease. I'm sure she had a miserable time, Thad a ball.

Every woman in the world runs into this awkward situation sooner or later, Please print my letter and tell her how todeal with it, —Double Vision In 0 City Dear 0.: A good measure of a woman is the size of things that bother her.

He ignores phone messages, haso't answered his personal correspondence in weeks (things we can't handle) and fails to show up for luncheon engagements and other meetings. We are expected to protect him with air-tight alibis,

Dear Ann Landers: You stated in a recent column that you are an incurable chocolaholic and love desserts, but have managed to. keep your weight under control because you don't touch alcohol

“which makes a whale of a difference.”

Kindly explain the “whale of a difference.” It sounds like an idiotic statement to me. . —Ignorant In Iowa Dear Iowa: A large gin martini, for example, contains 176 calories. When people mix drinks at home, they are usually stiffer, which Means more calories. (And they drink more at home because the price is right.)

litle they eat, but-no mention is made of how much they drink, - .

Warning For Fabric Softners The dey epartment | of con- te affairs

concerning the use of fabric softeners which ‘are sprayed directly into electric clothes-

F “Dryers should always be — kept free from lint,” a spokes-

man for the department said, “but this is particularly im-

portant when spray-on soften- ©

ers are used.” Softeners have a tendency to increase the ac- cumulation of lint, especially when used too’ liberally,

Lint traps should be clean- ed after every load and the motor inspected and cleaned at: least once a year. Careful and

regular cleaning will prevent the buildup of lint which could lead to a dryer fire.

" “There is no evidence at the present time to show that the sprays presenta fire hazard as long as the instructions on the label are followed carefully and excessive amounts are not used at any one time.”
