Dear Ann Danders:, Regarding
those "snore cures" sent to you
by that El Past? doctor, I
thought you might like to know
h+ov one or his suggested
"cures" turned out.
My hush nd ha been a heavy
sntrrer for some time. I studied
the doctor's list and decided to
try his; "Hat -pin Cure,'" You did
.not state -in yciur ..column if, the
iia"Ctt*Y ltad} IttyWt-ti'rese
"clues" himself or if his
approach . was • purely , academic.
Nov that ..I have tried ane Pct
like to warn .others to stand at a
safe -distance when using the
"Hat -pin" technique. •
The doctor said the snorer
would wake -up suddenly and
ask, "What happened?" Well, it
didn't work quite that way with
my h.usband:4I oke up mad as
hell and swinging. Since that
fateful night, he has -•----been
sleeping in the guest -room and I
have 'Jo idea when he will move
back to .his own , bed. My eye
isn't as swollen as it was this
morning and I'm thankful my
noseis only bruised and not
broken. Please get this word to
your readers as fast as possible.
—Sadder But Wiser. •
Dear Wiser: Thanks for
sharing your research. I trust
you. ..recall ..L..did not. -endorse or.
recommend the doctor's
"cures,'!' in fact I cautioned
against, them. I hope by the time
you read .-this...your husband is
back .in bed igith you, where, he
, belongs. •

husband's older sister, Mae, lives
in another state. She has always
been very, fond of Glen — and he
of her.' Glen is, not much of a
letter writer but his sister Mae is
very good at it. She writes Glen
every week - at his office.
Now the problem: Mae
arrived festerday to , spend a
week with us, When she and I
were alone she hesitatingly asked
why I am unaware of so many
things she has written about. She
seemed hurt.he answer is of
course that I • don't see her
letters. Frequently Glen will say,
"I had a letter from Mae today."
When I ask, "What did she have
• to day?" ,he replies, _ "Not a
darned thing. As' usual — three
pages -of drivel.'"
I don't want-to'tell Mae I do
not see her letters. Please -'show
me.a way out of this. -Peace At
Any Price. •
Dear Peace: Suggest to Mae •
that if she wants. you tb know
what is in her letters" to please
send them to the house because
Glen does notalways remember
to bring them home:: And it
would be nice if she addressed
the letters to Mr. and Mrs. Tell'''
her that, too.

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN

DEAR ANN LANDERS: The
whole town is talking about' an
ad that ran in our local
newspaper. Some people think it
was insulting and others believe
it was terrific. The man who
placed the ad owns a bridal
shop. His ad began: "If you are a
bride who is, making her own
gown, more power to you.
Those who have the skill and
talent -, to:cre_a.t.e the' �n
designs have my respect. 3 'tikes
a lot of confidence to make the
"gown that you will wear on the
most ...important day of your.
li•fe."
He goes •on to compliment
.,the home seamstress,.. then
---suddenly--tosses this—torpedo:
"But if .you. ARE one `of these
girls, please stay out of the
bridal shops." The rest o •the ad
• goes on to explain that bridal
gowns are expensive, fragile and.
easily soiled. "The more they are
tried on," he says, `'`the less
chance they have of being sold."
,...The ad continues, '".Lt..-isn-t-:-taair-
for a girl_ to shop around and -try
on wedding gowns so she can get
ideas to •make her own. There
are • plenty of bridal books and
pictures she can look at. Girls
who want but acannot afford a
beautifully styled gown with
exquisite lace, should ask ,to see
the discontinued ' samples,
drastically reduced in price."
The ad doesn't even mention the
salesperson's time 'wasted • by

It's only •a couple of
weeks since I was crying the

with a jobless child .for the •

She has 'a job ,and she
likes it. It's • waiting' on
tables in a smart hotel din-
ing -room, -overlooking the
-water. The, pay's' not much,
but tips are fair.
She has learned the joy
of coming home with her
apron poets loaded with
,luarters, imes and nickels,
and arranging them in neat
little piles, and counting
them over and, over, Anyone
ho has ever worked as a
slavey - knows tltc.v. sheer,

counting tips. •
'But there's always a
catch, and in •this case, I'm'

is about ten miles from
