Olc Knute on the accordian and ANN LANDERS, Answers Your Problems Dear Ann: That letter from "Ursula" really knocked me off my chair. She said she was going with a married man and would give anything if his wife would give him a divorce so they could get married. She stated: "His wife is a good mother and never looks at another man. so the husband has no grounds for divorce." Well. Dear Ann, I AM THE WIFE. All my husband has to do if he wants his freedom is to ask for it. I have known about this affair for quite some time. I'm sure Ursula can find my number in the book. If she will call me I will repeat this offer on the tele phone. Or if she can get my old goat to bring her over to the house I can help both of them out. Thank you. Mrs. X.

Hat's wife. bear Ann Landers: Maybe you help a lot of people but you have caused me a lot of trouble. This morning my wife offered me a divorce. I almost had a heart at tack from the shock. When I ask ed her what it was all about, she started to bawl and handed me your column. It was the letter from Ursula that had her so upset. It happens that there is a woman named Ursula who works for our company. I haven't said more than five words to her in eight months. I have no interest what ever in taking her out. much less starting up a romance. You owel it to me to print this letter and square things at home. Thanks George L. Dear Annie: Oh yog great big beautiful doll! That letter signed Ursula-boy, how it changed things around our house! My wife thinks someone else wants me, and sister, has she been sweet this past week! She even phoned me at the store this morning and said, "Hony, what do you want me to fix for supper?" I'm playing it cool, of course, not saying yes or no, but honestly, I don't know any Ursula. In fact, I don't know any dames, to speak of. But this is some gimmick and I sure do thank you.

Around The House By Dolores Uric, Your Home Extent ion Ag When any fruit juice is spilled or. a fabric it's a good idea to sponge the spot immediately with cool water. Some fruit jui ces, citrus among them, are in visible on the fabric after they dry. but turn yellow on aging or heating. This yellow stain may be difficult to remove. On washable articles, sponge the stain with cool water. Or soak stain in cool water for 30 min utes or longer; some require an over-night soak. If stain remains after sponging or soaking, work a detergent into it, then rinse. If a stain remains after detergent treatment, use a chlorine or sod ium perborate bleach. Avoid using chlorine bleaches on syn thetic fabrics or natural fiber labrirs which have been treated with a special finish. For nonwashablc articles, sponge stain witth cool water. Or force cool water through stain with a small syringe, using a sponge under the stain to absorb the water. If stain remains, rub detergent on stain and work it into fabric. Rinse. A final spong ing with alcohol helps to remove the detergent and to dry the fab ric more quickly. Test alcohol on fabric first to be sure it does not affect the dye. Dilute alcohol with 2 parts of water before us ing it on acetate. If stain remains after deter gent is rinsed out, use a chlorine or sodium perborate bleach. Avoid using chlorine bleaches on synthetic fabrics or natural fiber finishes which have been treated with a special finish. Or, if safe for fabric, pour boiling water through spot from a height of 1 to 3 feet. Sour Cream Suggested in Potato Salad Remember dairy sour cream when it's time to stir up the fami ly salad.
