ANN LANDERS Answers Your Problems Dear Ann: The other day a girl wrote to say her fiance had slap per her during an argument Vou told her to find someone else. I hope she listens. I married a boy who slapped me when we were going togeth er. He used to beat up on his sisters and brothers and get in to fist fights with strangers. 1 knew all this but I married hii anyway Don't get. the idea I came .from trash and that 'he 'was" a bum. Ii isn't true that onlv scum u.-i their fists. My husband's fathei an attorney. His gandlathei was the mayor of a large Texas city. My father is an officer in a bank. My folks begged rile not to marry this boy. They said if 1 did they'd have nothing to do with me. They've kept their word. After we married I went to work in a drug store to help with expenses. Two months later I became pregnant. When I told him he got so furious he not only beat me, he left me for a week. Now he's going with other girls because he says I look like a freak and he doesn't want to be oecn with me. I have no money to buy clothes and I can't work. I'd give anything to be back in my nice room again. Piease print this as a warning to other 18-year-olds whose boy friends slap them during courtship and promise to change. Slapped Before, Beaten After. Dear Slapped: If you send me your name and address I have few suggestions. Please use the same kind of envelope and writing paper so I will know the letter is from you. Also, repeat your husband's nick-name. Dear Ann: Do I have a right to complain or not?

By Leonard Craig Velvet is one of the most lux urious and versatile fabrics at a dress designer's fingertips. It is known as a "cut pile" fabric, and during cleaning and finishing the smooth nilc threads must A be kept in Jr. order. Dur- sf:y ins wft.ii- the mit Ai pile often becomes badly crushed and must be straight ened and smoothed by the cleaner. : Pile thread differs in velvets. Some are merely anchored un der one thread and are easily removed. Other velvets, where the pile is secured under two sets of threads, are much less vulnerable to shedding and damage. Velvet at its best is what is known as one of the "fragile fabrics" and should be shown extra consideration in wear as well as being cleaned frequently. Many velvets today have been given crease or crush-resistance treatments and present less wrinkle removing prob lems in cleaning than those which have not been so treat ed. But all velvets require special cleaning care and handling. You can safely send us all your "fragile fabrics" for thorough cleaning, to keep them looking new longer . . . and looking bettor on you. lie member, the best dressed peo ple in town send their dry cleaning to us!
