When I asked him what he wanted for a birthday gift he said, "A girl who smells like a girl and not a pool hall. Quit smoking," So I did. It is agony to give up cig- arettes after all these years but I am determined to do it, The problem is my pack-a-day girl friends who blow smoke in my face and light cigarettes and hand them to me, They do it in a joking way but deep down I feel it is cruel of them. How do I cope with the situation? Why are they like this? — FACIN' SATAN, Dear Facia': Your friends (?) are trying to break you down so you will again be book- ed—as they are.

Is there a solution that I am unable to see?—RAISED HACKLES, Dear Raised: Buy another prayer book for your mother- in-law but don't give it to her. Take the book home and bring it back the following Sunday. (And DO forgive her her "trespasses"), 0--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: How can a young married woman tell her grandmother to get some teeth put in her mouth or stay home? My grandmother needs to see a dentist so badly it makes me sick, She has about five teeth left and they should have been taken out long ago. I mentioned this to mom, but she says a person's teeth is his own private business and that grandma has so many wonderful qualities I should overlook this. Last night I watched grand- ma gum her food and it spoil- ed my dinner. I decided to put it to you, Ann. Shall I say something to grandma or not? Dear Q. T.: Speak up, girl. Some alder people die sooner than they should because they don't get proper nutrition, and their teeth often are the cause. Moreover, gum infections due to decayed teeth can poison the system.

She loved to play the violin. When her older brother learned, she too decided to play and learned to fiddle the country dance tunes popular in those years. The highlight of social life was when neighbors came to visit. Then the group would join in music and fun to tunes from the violin and organ."We had real fun then," she said.
