'They are now in a mixing

know I can't keep them hidden
forever. How shall I break the
news to my mother? Sneaking
Around.
. Dear Sneaking Around: Cold
fish don't belong under a bed.
Tell your mother at once that
you bought the fish and prom
it to assume all responsibil
ity for their care. (The water
must be changed and the bowl
washed regularly.)
Explain that you decided on
goldfish because they won't
ruin the furniture, they don't
have to be housebroken, they
never bark or chase cars.
Dear Ann Landers: I'm so mad
r. "you . could scratch your eyei
out My 17-year-old daughter
Uayed home from the biggest
dance of the season on account
of you. Your word is gospel in
our house. What I say doesn't
mean anything. This is what
h-ippened:
Martha is well behaved, well
dossed and attractive. She has
never had a date because all the
iris in this town are aggressive
and. run after the boys. She re
fuses to do this. A few of the
ils have had to get married.
It was decided that Martha's
brother, 19, would take her to
tins" big dance since she had no
oijicr invitation. I bought her aj
neaumui aress ana maicnmu
sljppcrs. Then she read your
cwumn in which you said a girl
wlo appears at a dance with her
brother (when other girls have
dates) might just as well hang
a sign on her back saying, '1
c&htdn t get a date but I came
anyway'."
When Martha saw this she said
"That settles it. I'm not going.'
I pleaded with her but it did no
good. How could you give such
rotten advice? I'll bet this let
ter will never got into print.
St. Louis Mother.
Dear St. Louis Mother: The
advice was good and I stand be
hind it. Maybe the reason your
daughter is dateless is because
you make excuses for her (see
the second paragraph of your
own letter) instead of being ob-'
jective. This girl needs help to
Correct the personality" prob
lems which keep the boys
away. If you will supply a
name and address I will send
Martha, with my compliments,
the booklets "How To Be Dait
Bait" and "How To Be Well
Liked." Your daughter needs
help not excuses.

"JleU talk
By Leonard Craig
The beils are ringing school
bells, that is. The long sum
mer vacation lies behind and
once agair
it's the time
of year when
all of us who
drive should
start taking
a little extra
care w hen
driving near
a school
zone. 9km-
For the average Mom getting
ready for school days is a hec
tic period. It means gelling
slacks and skirts, sweaters and
blouses, jackets and coats all
ready for wearing. We can
take a lot of strain out of these
preparations. Just send us
that junior wardrobe now and
we'll have it back to you, clean
and fresh and smart looking,
in time for school day wear.
As every parent knows, child
ren aren't exactly easy on
clothes, s Scuffles and squab
bles, games and accidents take
their toll. Spilled ink and
paints and many other hazards
put spots before your eyes.
Lost buttons and little tears in
the fabric and grass stains
from an impromptu football
game all these are part of
the normal pattern.
Well, that's where we come in.
Repairing and cleaning, re
moving spots and stains, re
storing crispness and fresh
ness to school age wardrobes
is part of our business. Just
give us a call for prompt
pickup and delivery.
REMEMBER
Inspect
The garment after wear
ing If it it too soiled for
the next waaring, it is
too soiled to hang back
