Noisy evening of home
Dear Ann, Landers: Can, you
visualize this scene: An evening
of bridge. Seventeen -year-old
boy beating on drums, daughter
screetching at the top of her
lungs — practicing for school
operettd: 'Another. "son bringing

wrath of the little' hellions by

irritated and disgusted. Leave
early.
What can a captive audience
do when parents seem oblivious
to rudeness and lack of
consideration exhibited by their
children? It's incredible that
these genteel, -cultured people
have such little regard for the
comfort of their guests. I repeat
the question: What can a captive
audience do?* - No One• ---In

Dear No: Did you say
"captive. .audience?". Who
captured you? If I found myself
in either of the situations you
described, I'd- Crave and ask the
hostess to invite me back

married.

Dear "'Ann Landers: My
boyfriend -and`: I are both
Chinese. We carry the same
surname, one which is very
name
commons like the English s
Smith or Jones. ' We are not
related but both his parents and
mine do, not feel we should be
arced- because ight have
had a common a ' tor several
centuries ago.
This prohibition • against
marrying •a blood relatt dates
back many centuriesAthen Best
was common for political and
financial reasons: The children
of incestuous marriages were
often abnormal.
We both respect our. parents'
and do, not want to hurt them,
but we believe this ancient taboo '
has nothing to do with us and
we want to be married. What do
you advise? -- Kissing Cousins In
Name Only
• Dear Kissing: Even if you and
your boyfriend did have a
• common -ancestor "several
centur,'es ago," chances- are
extremely remote against
producing an ,abnormal child for
that -reason. In •most states first
cousins are allowed -to marry,
and this is a fairly close blood
relationship— Ask ,your
-clergyman to explain this to
your parents. ,
Dear Ann Landers:, I .recently
acquired a - secretary,. who calls
me by- my first name.— and not
even my full name 'at that. She'
shortens it.
I am tncomfortable with this
sort 'of familiarity but I am
afraid if I sad ,something to her
she will think I have become a
pompous executive.
How should I handle the
situation? — Pittsburgh P.G.

both adults and children and is anxious to move to an
adoption -home where he will really belong to a family.

keen.competitor. He prefers reading or"drawing• or working
on school projects. He likes the =outdoors, is enthusiastic
about' camping; and is fond of- animals.
...... John needs' a home with few children so the parentswill
have much time to devote to him. His qualities of intelli-

There's the right to go
trout fishing on Opening
Day. This was once an in-
- definable and inexplicable
delight. Nowadays, it's
about as thrilling as climb-
ing onto -.,a subway train at
rush hour.
° There's the 'right to go
out and shovel and sweep
back. onto the road all the
sand the snowblower has
thrown •up . on your lawn
during the winter. This has a
tendency to pall after the
first five or six years.
There's the right to cheat
on your income tax. This
used o be day rigerre, as we
1.used to say, but so. many
people are doing it now that
it's passay, as We say now.
There are all sorts• of
other spring rights, like
,.., „ging birth to 'twin lambs,- 4•
going for a swim as soon as
the iee goes out, or discover
