I've had three handsome, no-good 'husbands. Every time I married for love I ended up supporting the loafer and had to pay for the divorce, too. Now I have a chance to marry a man who is 15 years older than I am. He's loaded, has a lovely apartmenet, a good car, likes to travel, and he thinks I'm the cat's meow. I have respect for this man but he doesn't thrill me out of my mind if you know what I mean. I could make him happy and he could give me peace and con tentment. I've had my share of sizzling romance and now I want to settle down and let someone ttke care cf me for a change. How does it look to you? Sire 10. Dtar Size 10: There's too much take and not enough give in your letter. The two words which you underlined were loaded and "take care of me." After three failures I can un derstand a woman being a bit more practical. But you could make a fourth mistake by being toe cratt and calculating. Women who marry for money usually earn it. Marital happi ness comet from a desire to give. Your only chance is to concentrate on what you can do to enrich this man's life. By so doing, you will find the peace and contentment you're looking for.

Does this mean anything spe cial? If so, what Wondering. Dear Wondering: A left-handed handihake has no particular meaning that I know of. It's mere affectionate and less for me I than the traditional hand shake of a first meeting. I've heard people who offer their left hand say 'This is the I hand closest to my heart." Per- naps mis is more than just a phrase. I don't know. Dean Ann Landers: I'm a boy 17, and my girl friend is 16. Kav and I have been going together 11 months and live days. Not steady but quite a lot. I offered her my school ring a month ago and she accepted it. Yesterday she decided to show it to her folks. There's a hole in the kitchen ceiling where her father went through. Today she returned the Ting and said she couldn't keep it because of the way her lather camea on. i d hke her to have my ring as a token of friend ship. It certainly doesn't mean we are engaged. Should I go over and explain this to her square old man or what? Times have changed since 100 years ago w hen he was in school. Harold. Dear Harold: If you know whiff good for you, you'll stay away from "her squore old man" and forget about giving his. daughter a ring for the time being. True, timet have changed and her father ap parently thinkt of e ring in tedite of what it meant when he was in school.

Dear Ann Landers: Here's advice for you! A couple of weeks ago, Ann, your column featured this letter from "Chicago Pop" with your reply: e e e Dear Ann: If more people would cut their kids' hair at home, maybe we could get the barber prices down where they belong. I'm the father of three young sons. We live in Chicago. Every other Saturday the four of us go for haircuts. It costs 11.75 for each boy. Mine is $2. I'm almost completely bald. The barber usually gets me out of his chair in 9 minutes. My 7- and 8-year-olds have crew cuts. Last week I timed them. They were out of the chair in 13 and 15 minutes each. The 5-year-old takes 15 minutes. The barber gets $7.25. We take a bus both ways. This little excursion chews a $10 bill to pieces. Maybe if you hear from a whole slew of outraged fathers who are tired of getting clipped, we can get the price of haircuts down to where they make sense. CHICAGO POP Dear Chicago Pop: I've already heard from a slew of outraged fathers. I'm willing to print a solution to this problem if someone will come up with one. e e e e A solution to the problem, Ann? A Supreme Electric Home Hair, cutter! If "Chicago Pop" can comb his sons' hair, he can give them perfect haircuts at home with a Supreme the tery first time in just about 15 minutes. And we mean perfect. Professional looking trim at side and back even neat crew cuts and all with no "bowl head" look. What's more, If "Chicago Pop" spends $10 every two Weeks for haircuts, that adds up to $260 a year. The Supreme Home Haircutting Kit shown here complete with precision electric clipper, 4 attachment guides, an apron, comb, shears, instruction chart and barber's brush the entire kit retails for just $14.95. That's a saving of over $200 a year. (That'll buy a lot of shoes, baseball bats, and Ice cream cones for 3 boys.) "Chicago Pop" and that whole "slew of outraged fathers" owe It to themselves to see and try the Supreme Electric Hair Clipper now. On sale at Drug, Department and Hardware Stores. Good advice. Ann?
