ANN- LANDERS
Answers Your Problems
Dear Ann Landers: We've been
married 17 years and have finally
reached the financial plateau
where we get invited to all the
nicest parti s in town. Naturally
we must reciprocate.
My husband announced last
week that he's sick and tired of
spending a fortune to entertain
people he doesn't give a hoot
about. I agree he has a point.
We invite most of these people to
our home simply because they
invited us to theirs, We aren't
really friends. We see each other
only a few times a year.
How do people unwind from the
social rat-race without giving the
impression they ve gotten high
hat or gone broke? Weary. ,
n Dear Weary: When enter
Gaining meant spending money
You hat to part with, to wine -

and dine people you don't care
about, merely because you
must "pay them back" then
it's time to ouit. The hostess
who'd rather be stricken with
bubonic plague than - stricken
from a party list inevitably be
comes trapped by her own
stupidity One "unwinds" from
the social rat-race by having
the courage to say NO to peo
ple they dont care about.
The next step toward maturity
is to widen your circle of friends
to include a few people you like.
Dear Ann: I'm a bachelor, 47,
pot bad looking, high school ed
ucated and employed by the City
Transit Company. ' I hope . you
won't think I'm a nut. I need help
with a personal problem.
Newspapers are my hobby and I
buy half a dozen out-of-town- pa
pers every weekend for fun. Three
months a so I picked up a big city
paper and read an interesting ad
in the personals:
'Widow, 38, financially indepen
dent wishes to correspond with
respectable single man. Object,
friendship: Must b' Willing to ex
change photographs."
For a laugh I sent my picture
to this woman and also a nice let
ter. When her picture arrived I
was surprised. She's very good
looking.
We've exchanged 34 letters and
I find myself thinking of her night
and day. She wants me to quit
my job and move out to get "bet
ter acquainted. She has a nice
home and has offered to rent me
a room in it till I get some work
lined up. I know it sounds crazy
but I've never felt this way about
any woman before. Do you think
I may have something? ROY
Dear Roy: Yeah you have
srmething strudel in the nood
le. A man who would quit his
job to follow up a mail order
romance has a loose connect
ion somewhere. If you think
your pen pal has possibilities,
go out there on your next vaca
tion and STAY AT A HOTEL.
Meet her family, friends and
clergyman. Get 'acquainted.
But don't be too hopeful. When
a "financially independent wo
man of 38" must advertise in a
newspaper for friends some
thing's wrong. .
No matter how careful one is
with personal grooming items,
extra caution pays. Even in tweez
ing eyebrows, there is danger of
infection. A bit of rubbing alco
hol or an antiseptic lotion dabbed
on after tweezing' helps avoid infection.

Relief From Hemorrhoids
Possible Without Surgery!
Persons suffering from
hemorrhoids (piles) need no
longer resort to painful "hos
pital surgery, thanks to a
relatively new electronic
method of treating rectal
and colon disorders, prac
ticed by the Dean Clinic in
Portland, Oregon.
The Dean Clinic treat
ment is nrovine more effec
tive than surgery in manjM
cases and requires no Hos
pitalization or confinement.
Uncomplicated cases are
often corrected in as little
as 10 days.
- Since the method involves
no cutting, there is practi
cally no discomfort during
treatment, and none of the
common after effects of
surgery.

gation may be obtained by
