'Dear

Abigail Van Bur en
, . DEAR ABBY: I admit I don't keep a very clean house but
Its not my fault. My mother hated housework and she never
..bothered much with housekeeping. She taught me to put the
: housework last and said, "If you don't clean your house, your
husband will." Maybe this is a poor excuse, but it's the truth
.and I just had to get it off my chest.
I POOR HOUSEKEEPER
DEAR POOR HOUSEKEEPER: Your mother's advice
r sounds like a feeble excuse for poor housemanship. To com
plete the picture she should have added, "There are many
.husbands who are mopping the floor with their wives every
Uy." Get organised, Honey!

friends. If a girl doesn't wear lipstick even if she isn't so
hot I would sooner kiss her than the girl with lipstick, be-
cause guys who come home with lipstick on their shirts al

t DEAR ABBY: You may consider this a silly question, but
please, darling, try to help me. I have just lost my fifth gar
bage canl The last one I painted with black enamel, "PLEASE
..DO NOT STEAL THIS CAN." And I put my address on it.
'My neighbor said she saw a man stop and get out of a Cadillac
car and HE took it. Can you imagine anything so cheap and
flirty? So this morning I put my garbage in a Maison Blanc
, bag, and the garbage collector refused to take it. Is this the
.way they take care at beautiful St. Charles Avenue? The
'authorities pay me no attention. Can you give me a solution?

I DEAR MARIE: Telephone your Department of Public
Health and ask them to put you in touch with the Sanitation
: Department. Then tell them your story! If you get no results,
.take it right up to the mayor. (The problem not the gar
bage.) , x ...
DEAR ABBY: My 22-year-old son came home heart-broken
.last night. He has been working and saving his money for a
:year to marry what we thought was a fine girl. He surprised
; her with a diamond ring and she refused it, saying she would
rather wait until he could afford a BIGGER one. She said she
would rather have no diamond than a small one. Is this modern
J thinking? HEARTSICK MOTHER
DEAR MOTHER: No. There have always been girls who
-place great deal of importance on the size of a diamond.
Tell your ton to save the little gem for a girl who appreciates
?lt And him.

J What's on your mind? For a personal reply, send a self
r addressed, stamped envelope to Abby, Box 3365, Beverly Hills,

Sugar Plum Cupcakes
Renamed for Yule Seals
This year's gay and colorful
Christmas Seals have inspired
Mrs. Mark 0,- Hatfield, "Ore
fan's First Lady of Christmas
Seals," to bring forth her prized
recipe for sugar plum cupcakes
and re-name it the "Christmas
Seal Sugar Plum Cupcake."
Why? Because Mrs. Hatfield
a'ayi the delighted children on
this year's Christmas Seal, hang
ing the double-barred cross on
their tree as part of the prep
aration for Christmas, recalled
to her mind the age-old account
of The Night Before Christmas
when "visions of sugar plums
danced through their heads."
Mrs. Hatfield adds: '
"At thisf festive and magical
time, I think Steve Dohanos, the
artist who designed this year's
Christmas Seal, has the answer
in his own words, , 'the 1062
Christmas Seals say to every-
. one put Christmas Seals into
Christmas so why not in the
kitchen where children can help
make the cupcakes and thus
learn about Christmas Seals.'
Here is the recipe:
Christmas Seal Sugarplum
Cupcakes

Mrs. Mark O. Hatfield)

crowned "Queen for a Day" at a party mark
ing her 70th birthday at the home of Mrs.

many friends who appreciate the things she

on buttons, hemming dresses, setting hair,
manicuring nails.
Guests were seated at a table which was
covered with a white cloth with silver bands
and centered with red candles in milk glass
holders and red poinsettias. The birthday cake
also was trimmed with poinsettias. Christmas
decorations were used throughout the house,
in a red and gold theme.

of ceremonies. Among the guests, in addition
to the Sunset Home residents, were Mrs. Edith

Hymn, Carol
Origin Traced
NEW YORK 0IPD St. Francis
of Assist often was called
"Father of the Christmas Carol"
because, about the 12th century
in Italy, he used the stable
scene, plus a small choir, to
dramatize the story of the birth
of Christ. - -
The occasion also was the
origin of the Creche.
Down through the years,
carols by the carload have been
turned out by the pens of tal
ented and inspired writers. One
noted song writer, Charles Wes
ley, composed 6,500 hymns and
carols during the mld-18th cen
tury, according to researchers
planning an album of Christ
mas records.
Wesley's most popular carol
then and now is "Hark, '.The
Herald Angels Sing."
Another prolific song writer
was Isaac Watts, who wrote
"Joy To The World" in 1719
and, at his death in 1748, left
52 published volumes of hymns
and carols.
