More about schnozzsize stereotypes By Abigail Van Buren c )«7< by Chicago Tnbune N Y. New* Srnd., Inc.

DEAR ABBY 1 have been saddened and amused by the number of Setters in your column from people who were upM’t by the size of their noses. The mother who couldn't love her baby because of us big schnozz hit me hard. To me. a prominent nose is beautiful. Look at Cleopatra. A littie button-nos? may be "cute. ' but give me the beauty and character of a nose that is proud and prominent! \\ are all entitled to our own standards of beauty. Why should we let Madison Avenue sterotvpes lead us around bv the nose? KNOWS NOSES DEAR KNOWS: We shouldn't. Which inspires the following limerick: There once was a beauty named Rose, A Puritan life-style she chose. Lechers galore she would show to the door. Would you say she was saved by her NO'S? (Edgar Allen Po-Pol DE AR ABBY: 1 would like to say something about that young mother who was depressed because she thought her infant daughter was too homely to take out in public. ! m glad you sent that mother to a psychiatrist because she i^ desperately in need of treatment. If she doesn’t take your advice and go. I'm afraid her daughter will he the one to end up on a psychiatrist's couch, getting treated for her inferiority complex That is what happened to me When 1 was a little girl, my mother drummed into me that 1 was homely. I grew up believing it. 1 let myself get fat and sloppy. I never cared how 1 looked because 1 thought that 1 was so hopelessly ugly, nobody could care for me. I also became very promiscuous. That was the only way 1 could get a boy to pay any attention to me. My self esteem was about as low as it could get At age 1“. 1 bad had three abortions, so my mother sent . me to a psychiatrist. Meanwhile, she sobbed. “I'll never understand that child. 1 gave her everything.” My psychiatrist explained that small children believe everything their parents tell them and that my problems began when mv mother convinced me that I was homely. “TWENTY TWO AND NOT MOMEIA ANYMORE” DEAR ABBY: That disturbed young mother who couldn't "love" her baby because it had such a homely nose prompts me to write this. 1 recently visited a young (and very handsome) couple who have a nine-month-old baby. No one warned me. so 1 wasn't prepared for what I saw when they brought her out. She was positively the homeliest baby 1 had ever seen. Unusually homely! I was at a loss for what to say. so I just said. “Hi. darling baby!" She smiled, her eyes twinkled and her homely little face lit up as she held out her arms to welcome me as a new friend. Within minutes I knew the secret of that baby's charm. Her parents treated her as though she were an exquisitely beautiful and beloved treasure by letting her know what a loved baby she was. Consequently, she is exactly what they hold her to be—a beautiful treasure. Within minutes one forgets that she is not a very pretty babv. because it doesn't really matter Her personality is sunny, lovable and responsive. Parents of “homely" babies can learn a lot from this couple. I did. A FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: And I'll wager so did many others. DEAR ABBY: Please print this for the mother who was so “depressed" because her baby had such a large nose. Our first baby was a beautiful little girl. There was only one problem. She was’born with "spina bifida"—an open spine. Our baby is only four months old and she has had, to date, surgery five times. Abby. instead of this mother looking at her baby and crying because of her large nose, she should be crying for joy and thanking God for having blessed her with a healthy babv- She doesn't know how lucky she is.

Couple United In Old Bethel

Miss Bonnie Faye Decker became the bride of William Allen Cromer on July 20 during an evening ceremony at Old Bethel Church in Greencastle. Mrs. Bessie Ewards of LaPorte, Ind., is mother of the bride. Parents of the groom are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cromer, 711 E. Walnut St., Greencastle. Rev. Gerald Trigg of Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church of Greencastle officiated during the double ring

ceremony. Mrs. Nancy McFarland provided the bridal music. The bride wore a lavender, pink and white gown with an empire waist and long, puffed sleeves. Her veil was chapel length and of an off-white color. Her flowers were pink baby roses. Mrs. Bernice Cromer, mother of the groom, was matron-of-honor. Mr. Clarence Cromer, father of the groom, was best man.

Immediately following the ceremony, a reception ws hosted at Putnam Inn. Guests were present from LaPorte, Ind., Miami, Fla., Greencastle, and Vestal, N.Y. The bride is employed at Thunderbird Lanes in LaPorte, Ind. The groom works for WLOI Radio Station in LaPorte. Following a trip to St. Louis, Mo., the couple is residing at Route 4, LaPorte.

West Lafayette, ind. If fire struck your home, could you tell the insurance company everything that was destroyed? Or if a thief made off with your valuables, could you prove what had

been stolen?

If your answer is “no,” you need a household inventory, says Jean W. Bauer. Extension home managementfamily economics specialist at Purdue University. This inventory is simply a list of your household furnishings and equipment, Mrs. Bauer explains. But it is vital if household items are ever lost, damaged, or stolen. "The list can help you remember exactly what is missing,” she savs, adding that it is nearly impossible to remember every item after it is gone. “In addition, the inventory serves for insurance needs.” Once you’ve made out a household inventory, you’l!

be glad you did, Mrs. Bauer predicts. You’ll be surprised how much you have invested in your house It’s too much to waste just because you didn’t take the time for an in-

ventory.

The specialist suggests that you start your household inventory as you straighten up a room. As you come across an item, write it down. Then discuss the value of the item with your spouse and add that information to your list. Systematically go from room to room, filling out the inventory as completely as possible, she adds. “You might record the information in a chart,” Mrs. Bauer says. “In one column record the article and what brand or make it is. Add other columns to record the purchase date and the original cost.” The inventory should include items from all areas of the house—even items in the

Include the halls, attic, basement, garage, and other storage areas. “Other sizable investments are linens, bedding, clothing, and food,” Mrs. Bauer adds. “It is wise to list each of these categories separately, then include a summary. Once the inventory is made, keep it up to date, the specialist recommends, adding that a yearly revision is a must. She also suggests making a copy of your inventory to store outside your home. "By keeping a copy in a safe deposit box or on file with your insurance agent, you’ll have a copy if your house is destroyed,” she says.

When should you start your list? Now’s the time, Mrs. Bauer says. Tomorrow may he too late!

In Vest The Fashion in Menswear By JOAN O’SULLIVAN THERE’S NO DOUBT that clothes make the woman. They make the man, too. That’s why city slickers are beginning to look like country squires. It is, explained Chip Tolbert, fashion designer of the Men’s Fashion Association, all part of the “country gentleman look.” Men’s suits are getting the kind of casual elegance that’s been a British trademark for years. They’re neat and unstudied with a subdued ruggedness that keeps a man well-dressed for office, country weekending, even for evenings on the town. The vest is important to the new look. In matching or contrasting color and fabric, it has that country squire air.
