ANN LANDERS
Thoughtless Woman Next Door
Shakes Rug, Mop Out Window
Dear Ann: We recently bought
a lovely home in a fine suburb.
I've never had trouble with a
neighbor in' all my life until now.
The woman next door insists on
shaking her rugs and mop out her
bedroom windows. These windows
face my kitchen and I get all her
dirt. I knew people did this in the
tenement district but I didn't think
upper-class suburbanites behaved
this way.
She knows she's doing wrong
because whenever she sees me
she stops at once. I've hinted
strongly by making a show of
shaking my rugs and mop behind
the garage. It hasn't helped. What
do I do now? J.P.M.
Deer J.PJrt,: Stop ptayina
gsmes and Ml her this: "Ap
parently you're going to con
tinue to shako your rugs and
mops out your bedroom win
dows oven though you know
me dirt gets into my kitchen.
If you'll be good enough to
give me a moment't notice to
I can dote my windows I'd be
very grateful."
Dear Ann Landers: If yq,.oaB
come up with an answer to this
you're a genius.
We've been married 15 years
and have four healthy, normal,
noisy, shoe-tearing children. I'm
42 not exactly a candidate for
Mrs. America, but I'm no spook
either.
My husband simply will not
come home from work like other
men. He always has to stop off
at a bar near his office and have
a few drinks and visit with "the
boys." Some of these visits last
three hours. When he finally re
members he has a home, the
dinner is burned, or cold, he's

Dear Ann: I know a woman
who brags that her 16-year-old
daughter is so meticulous that it
takes her one solid hour to put
on heriake-up and comb her hair
in preparation for a date. This is
disgusting, in my opinion, but I
cant tell you exactly why I feel

Will you please tell me what it
