There are enough less ex pensive and handsome furs for putting up the argument anyway. Designers, crawling from under the barrage heaped on their heads because of the chemise, ar turn ing to familiar things as children ANN LANDERS, Answers Your Problems Dear Ann: I'm 16 and going steady, with a swell guy. For Valentine's Day he gave me a heart-shaped locket. I put the locket on February 14 and have n't had it off since. Now there's a green -mark all around my neck from the chain. I thought it was pure gold but my brother says it must be an imitation metal or it wouldn"! do this. Is he right? Should I tell my by friend? After all. if he paid for pure gold he should have gotten it. Please advise me in a hurry because my neck does n't look very good. Dora. Dear Dora: I'm not surprised that your neck doesn't look very good if you haven't had the chain off since February 14. How do you wash it? "Pure gold" is very toft and not suitable for manufacturing jewelry, so I doubt that the jeweler misrepresented. The green mark on your neck does n't mean the chain is cheap. Certain chemicals in the body re responsible. Just wipe the chain with a soft cloth occa sionally, and for heaven's sake take it off when you wash your neck. Dear Ann Landers: My hobby is radio, hi-fi and TV repairing. Until recently I had the privilege (?) of occupying about 40 square feet of floor space in the utility room behind the kitchen. A few days ago my wile decid'd my equipment was an eyesore and she moved everything out to the garage. The car, she said, would have to sit in the driveway. When I suggested she move her sewing machine out to the garage she ignored me. I make more money from MY hobby than she saves from hers. Further more my equipment is no more reach for a familiar toy. One New York fashion editor after a few days of previewing fall clothes in the seventh avenue showrooms announced that "the missing magic ingredient in most of the American collections is guts." Well, they may lack moxie, but they're generally becoming. Trends in dresses, coats, suits, hats, furs and accessories will be reported in detail this week by some 230 reporters from the na tion's newspapers, radio and tele vision stations.

What is your opinion consider ing the climatic conditions in an uiiheated garage and its effect on delicate electronic equipment? Nearly Houtebroken. Dear Nearly: I don't know anything about climactic con ditions and electronic equip ment, but I DO know something bout emotional climate and marriage when a wife summar ily moves her husband's income-producing hobby out to the garage. Move your equipment back to the utility room and tell her the car belongs in the garage. Make it clear you expect equal rights and you'll not tolerate being treated like a small boy who clutters up the house with toys and junk. s Arc you tempted to smoke bc-cr-usc the crowd does? If so. send for ANN LANDERS' new booklet, "Teenage Smoking," en closing with your requert 10 cents in coin and a large, self addressed, stamped envelope.
