We enjoy these card games, but more is involved than pleasure. We play for pretty high stakes. This couple has an 11-year-old daughter with an obnoxious per- sonality. She is one of these overly bright kids who knows a lot for her age and has a real smart mouth. At first the child just kibitzed the game, but lately she has been playing some hands for her father, and she is awfully darned lucky. It's bad enough to have this punk hanking around, but allowing her to play is more than my husband and I can tolerate. We have children too, Ann, but we would never permit anything like this in our home. Will you comment, please? — MIXED DEAL. Dear Deal: The parents should be told to keep the child out of the card game or find another couple to play with. Losing is bad enough—but the indignity of being clobbered by an 11- year-old child would ruin any- body's evening! Dear Ann Landers: I just fin- ished reading another letter in your column from ."The Other Woman." Why do we hear so little about "The Other Man?" In my circle I know four mar- ried women who are having af- fairs. If I count myself. its five. Three of us work outside the home. two do not. We are be- tween 26 and 44—not a beauty among us. but all reasonably at- tractive, except one who is quite homely. We all have good hus- bands. good children and attend church regularly. I am not looking for approval. I KNOW infidelity is wrong. but I need to know WHY we do it. Why can't we find fulfillment in our daily lives? I hope you will print this letter and help me as well as thousands of other wo- men who are looking for an- swers.—SOUL SEARCHING. Dear Soul: Married women who have affairs are looking for ego-bolstering, or an element of excitement that has vanished with marriage—or did not exist in the first place. Often the husband is blameless. He• may be incapable of supplying that special zing. But sometimes it IS the husband's fault because he has become too lazy, too com- placent and too indifferent to make the effort to keep the love light burning. A mature woman who makes a reasonably good selection realizes that no marriage can maintain that white-heat inten- sify forever. She accepts the steady glow in place of the blaz- ing flame and she keeps herself busy—and remains faithful. Dear Ann Landers: Help! Help! I am a 13-year-old boy who has a 17-year-old sister who thinks she is my mother. She nags me something terrible and I alp sick of it. I hate it especi- ally when she nags me in front of my friends. My mother also tells me what to do so I get it from both sides. I know I have to take it from my mother, because that's her job in life, but do you think it is right that I should get double nagging? Please hurry your answer I'm cracking up.—OVER-BOSSED. Dear Over; You don't say what your sister nags you about but I'll bet it's the same stuff your mother nags you about. Do what you are supposed to do on the first nag, then your sister won't have anything left to say. Dear Ann Landers: Dad died three months ago. The problem is mother. She considers dad's death a personal insult from God, as if He singled her out for special punishment, She can't get back at God so she takes out her anger on everyone else. Neighbors, relatives and ac- quaintances couldn't do enough for mother, They telephoned, brought food, and invited her to everything. Her response has been indifference or rudeness. She is so sour and disagreeable and filled with self-pity that al- most everyone has dropped her. What can I say to get mother back to her old sweet self again? I wanted my wife to write this letter but she said it should come from me—her son. Please suggest an approach.— ANONYMOUS. Dear A.: People who use mis- fortune as a club to beat friends and family over the head end up alone. Stop catering to your mother. Treat her as you would treat any indifferent or rude ac- quaintance. When she discovers that her behaviour is unaccept- able she will probably return to her old sweet self—as a mat- ter of necessity. * * * Dear Ann Landers: I was dashing out of the house for an appointment with my doctor when a college chum whom I had not seen in nine years ap- peared. She was in town be- tween trains and had decided to "surprise me." My house was a mess and I had only leftovers to offer her for lunch, I handed her my house key, apologized for not being able to spend some time with her and asked for advance notice when she passes through town again. Then I left for my appointment, I returned two hours later and found a note on my kitchen table with the key. She wrote: "I have never been so insulted in my life. You needn't worry about NEXT time. There won't be any." I was so upset I didn't sleep all night, Should I have can- celled my doctor's appointment and stayed with her? Please answer at once. I am— "ILL AT EASE." Dear III: Your friend is the one who should be "Ill at Ease." How inconsiderate to drop in without notice. Worse yet was her attempt to make you feel guilty for not cancelling your appointment. If you are lucky you may never hear from her again. * * * What is French kissing? Is it wrong? Who should set the neck- ing limits—the boy or the girl? Can a shotgun wedding succeed?

Pepper and spices generally had to be purchased from peddlers at one of the many fairs. Peddlers bought their supplies from those who sold pepper in wholesale lots, from "grossers". These spice wholesalers, the Pepperers, be- came the Grocers' Company in the middle of the 14th century and on their crest was a camel, laden with bales of spices, It was this group of spice merch- ants who petitioned Queen Eliza- beth I for a charter giving them a monopoly of the spice trade of the East Indies. This be- came the English East India Company and what they wanted above all was pepper.

Two American doctors re- cently described this condition as the "panty girdle syndrome" when two of their patients com- plained of swollen legs. A complete medical exam- ination showed the patients to be in good health except for the swelling which, they explain- ed, was not present in the morn- ing but developed and worsened during the day. The condition disappeared entirely during summer vacations which were spent at the beach. Noting the circular indenta- tions around the thighs, the doctor learned they were caus- ed by a panty girdle. When this garment is worn too tight, it has the effect of a tourniquet, restricting the flow of blood and causing swelling.
