WINGHAM Phone 357-1282 Dear Ann Landers: I used to look forward to reading the Sun- day papers but now I just get mad. The reason—those fright- ful looking brides in the society section. Pick up any Sunday paper in the United States and you will see what I mean., I realize that styles change, but my grandmother's wedding picture is still beautiful and so is my mother's, You can at least see their faces. Why do so many brides today wear bangs that hang down into their eyes? Or side-drape hairdos reminiscent of an old Veronica Lake movie? And those boyish haircuts under wedding crowns are the ugliest thing yet. By biggest gripe, how- ever, is the bride who poses in glasses, If a girl is so dumb that she doesn't know glasses ruin a picture why doesn't the photographer tell her? Please Ann, inform all brides everywhere to avoid far-out fads. Tell them to stay with the simple hair-dos and to please leave the horn-rimmed, kookie glasses off. Ten years from now they'll be glad they did.—MRS. C.H.R. Dear CH.B.: The brides in the Sunday papers are the same girls you see in high schools, colleges and shops. That's the way they look—and apparently at least one young man liked the look well enough to marry the girl. I do, agree, however, that the wise bride avoids a far-out hair- do and kookie glasses.. Remem- ber, girl, simplicity never goes out of style. Dear Ann Landers: The holi- day season is over, so it's too late to do anything about the, sucker list junk THIS year, but there's some information that might help your readers NEXT YEAR. I was so annoyed with unso- licited' "gifts" sent to me through the mail during Decem- ber that I called the Post Of- fice for advice. I was told to cross out my name and "Return to Sender—Unsolicited" and drop it in a mailbox. The sender must then pay the return postage and chances are excellent that you will be taken off the fish list. — SMARTER NOW, Dear Now: 'Thanks for mak. lug us all Smarter, Today is the day you gave Ana Landers some good advice, Dear Ann Landers: I just read another letter in your column from a grandmother complain- ing about sitting with her daughter's children, It's time someone spoke up for the other side, These modern grandmothers make me sick, They are all, too busy with club work, bridge parties, ball games, dancing lessons, beauty shop appoint- ments and trying to keep up with grandpa who is a swinger. If you think I'm a sour-puss who has it in for her in-laws let me assure you that my par- ents are just as bad, They also refuse to put themselves out so my husband and I can have an evening away from the children. When our folks are 80 years old and complain that they are lonely and wish their grand- children would come to see them, I'll suggest that they go find a bridge game or take some more mambo lessons, — ONE FOR THE OTHER SIDE. Dear One: Is your nose out of joint because the grandparents ignore your children or because they don't offer to sit with them? If it's the first complaint I feel sorry for the grandpar- ents. If it's the second com- plaint I say you have no right to expect sitting services. This should be strictly voluntary — and if they don't offer, you shouldn't ask. What is French kissing? Is it wrong? Who should set the necking limits—.the boy or the girl. Can a shotgun wedding succeed? Read Ann Landers' booklet, "Teen-Age Sex — Ten Ways To Cool It."
