Feb.. 22, 1968 ores from The World of Women a Ann danders t.� Dear Ann ,Landers: The other day you printed a letter from a Woman whQ complained because a friend monopolized every con- versation with "I, me, I did, I went, I bought ... • etc." Every- one knows someone who is sim- ilarly afflicted. Will you please print this simple essay? It might help people get along together a little better. The' seven most important words in English language are: I made a mistake and I'm sorry. The Six most important words are: You did a very good job. The five . most important words ere: And ,what is your opinion? - The four most important words are: How can I help? The .three most important words are: I appreciate you. The two mostimportant words are: Thank you. Tho lonwt .important Word is I. -4. D. K. Dear J.D.K.: You did a vary good job. 1 appreciate you. Thank you, Dear Ann : Landers: I agree with your stand that the, host couple should cut : off the liquor before the guests get smashed out of their minds. Further - More, I think it . would be wise to consider why people who put on parties feel the need to supply so much alcohol. Are •they attempting • to impress their friends with fancy labels? Are . they fearful that the ' con- versation will be so dull and un interesting that they must an- esthetize the guests? \ I have seen liquor ruin, more good. parties, break 'up more ,..friendships and produce more jackasses than I care to think about. Unfortunately, the heavy drinker is not an accurate judge of how Much be can safely con- suine; therefore, it becomes the responsibility of the host couple to put the cork in the bottle before the boozers become thor- oughly plastered. Of coursesome folks will re- sent being "rationed," but they are the very ones who need to be. If these people feel you are ungracious and don't wish to ac- cept your • hospitality in the future, you have lost nothing. —WHO NEEDS 'EM, ,.

From the first moment that boy laid eyes on me he has screamed his head .off every time I enter the room. I cannot for the life of me figure out what cap. es him to do this. It is very embarras- sing, especially when outsiders are present. I'm sure they must think '''I have mistreated the child in some way because it is obvious the is frightened to, death of me. Please explain what would cause _him to shriek so when- ever I come near him. Whatzcan I do to mike him like me?— GRANDMA MABEL. Dear Gr1pdma: Maybe it's your hat, or your glasses, or your hair -do. Or maybe you lunge at him in your eagerness NI be friendly. My advice is don't ' push it, Gram. Play it cool and; the little guy will gradually warm dp to you.
