ANN LANBERS
Answers Your Problems
Dear Ann: I'm 47. wear a size
10 dress and although I've had a
hara life I don't look it.
This may sound terrible, but I
have been divorced three times.
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.

a left handed handshake mean:

to call didn't shake hands with
my mother; they tock her left
hand instead.
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. Give Kay an

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?
