ANN LANDERS, Answers Your Problems Dear Ann Landers: My fiance plans to give me a ring on my 18th birthdy. He's 19 and we are both high school graduates. He insists this is one of the big gest moments of our entire lives. He wants his young brother to be on hand taking moving pictures of him putting the ring on my fin ger, the kiss to seal it. and our folks congratulating us. He claims we will be very glad we have this film for posterity. I am violently against this idea and have said so. I think this sacred momvnt should be between two people.

I don't want his parents or mine looking on either He feels so strongly about this that he says either 1 agree or the engagement is off. 4-H Members Hold Camp The Union County annual 4-II Camp was held July 9 through 11. at Mt.

Neither of us lias ever dated anyone else. We've liv;d next door since we were 7. I'd like your opinion before I turn over the apple cart in haste. Wanting Privacy, Dear Wanting: If all the en gagement means to him is something to talc pictures of then you'd better tip over the apple cart and pronto. In my o pinion, you are both tee young for marriage. And he's an im mature l-year-eld as evidenced by his notion of what an en gagement ring presentation should be. I suggest you call off the engagement and both date others. If after a year or so you two think you were meant far each ether, pick up the loose ends and go together again. You both remind me of the worm in horse radish. He thought it was the sweetest place in the world because that was the only place he'd ever been. Dear Ann: I'm so confused I don't know what to do. Two years ago I divorced my husband again st, the violent protests of my three daughters. He begged me to reconsider, but my pride was hurt and I went through with it. I began dating a European man and was quite thrilled with his fine manners and his warm atti tude toward my daughters. Now I feel as if the bottom has dropp ed out of my world. He is a dif ferent person entirely. He became very strict with the girls and they've soured on him. He made me quit work and sell my car. He had the telephone re moved and insists on opening all the mail. He stopped the daily paper and I have to buy it on the stand. Yesterday he struck the eldest girl and she threatened to tell her father. If she does tell he'll try to take all the girls from me. I ; know now my first husband w!a more of a man than this one well, ever be. I shouldn't have divorced him. I'm miserable and heartsick. What shall I do? lAf M. M. Dear M. M. M.: This problem should be discussed with your clergyman. Sounds like you jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Maybe with luck you can get back into the frying pan. : . . 1 Elgin School Band Practice Set Tuesday ELGIN (SPECIAL) The El gin School band will hold a prac tice Tuesday evening, at 7:30 in the school auditorium.

In other words. what make it shrink or stretch? Many fabrics, by virtue of their fiber content , weave and the finishing given them, have a certain amount of potential shrinkage. Wool fib ers, for example, are extreme ly sensitive to high tempera tures. The weave of a fabric is responsible for the greatest shrinkage factor Most woolens today are pre shrunk. But ev en so, your cleaner must take great care to determine and maintain as far as possible a garment's original size and shape. Crepe weaves have a marked tendency to shrink or stretch. The crepe effect is formed by tightly twisted threads running in one direction. How much a crepe fabric will shrink or stretch depends on whether the fibers have been over stretched .during the finishing process. If overstretched the fabric Is almost certain to shrink. If to little stretching has taken place to give a heavy creped effect, the fabric will most likely stretch from ordi nary wear and cleaning. Sizing a garment is one of the many "extras" in our cleaning service. We try to return each article you send us thoroughly cleaned and "sized," to its prop er measurement. For extra rare and extra value at no ex tra cost.
