Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: I wear pants a lot and never seemed to have enough blouses. I am rather tall and blouses were even rather difficult to purchase as they were never long enouPh to suit me. I was going through my closet the other night and saw several dresses I had “outgrown.” (I have put on a little weight exactly where I don’t want it—through the middle!) Some of the dresses were button fronts, others zipped part way down the front, some were pull overs and zipped down the back, some were too short. Anyway, I took the whole kit and kaboodle and cut them off at the length I prefer for a blouse, allowing for a one inch hem. As they were a little snug through the hip, I ripped the side seams open about four inches and whipped the raw edges of the side seam down, making a slit. It can gap open an inch or two to allow for hip fullness. (Sounds better than “middle-age spread.”) I wore my new blouses to work and no one was the wiser. This method could also be osed on children’s or teenage dresses they have outgrown, but which are still good. Many of the styles make suitable blouses. So look at those dresses carefully, gals, before you discard them. You might be throwing away a gold mine. I have a whole new wardrobe of blouses at no expense! Hazel * * * Dear Heloise: When those pretty paper placemats become soiled, I cut up the clean portions for coasters. I make them in various shapes—diamonds, clubs, spades or heart-shaped for card parties—the ideas are endless. They do become damp, but I usually have a lot made and can use a fresh one for each refill. They are great as soakers under a coffee cup. Mrs. E.R. Keller * * * Dear Heloise: Just wanted to tell you how smart my husband is. He suggested putting all the frozen foods from the top freezer of my refrigerator in the oven (unheated, of course—won’t work if yours has a pilot light) while defrosting. He wrapped the food in newspaper and put it on cookie sheets. The oven is so well insulated that there is no melting at all. Also, the kitchen isn’t cluttered during the process. This is important in a compact kitchen such as mine. Mrs. William Potts

I have one and keep filling it during the year. In this way, I have presents on hand for any occasion, including Christmas. I pick up items on sale such as stationery, toilet articles, and then lay away needlework articles as I finish them. You’d be pleasantly surprised how convenient and thrifty this plan is. Mrs. J.C. Camp * * * Dear Heloise: Another hint for your famous net: When I chop cabbage for slaw in the blender, I line the sieve with about three layers of net much larger than the sieve and dump the cabbage in that to drain. If you’re in a hurry, gather the top of the net together and squeeze all the water out. Really works! Lily Miller * * *

Dear A bby By Abigail Van Buren c 1974 by Chicago Tribune-N. Y. News Synd., Inc. DEAR ABBY: I wish you would print this for all the women who write to complain about the size of their breasts—either too small or too large. I would gladly change places with any of them. I had one breast removed at the age of 38, when my children were three and seven years old. Twelve years later, I had a second breast removed. Fourteen months ago I was told that I had inoperable cancer of the abdomen. With chemotherapy, prayers and the love and support of my family and friends I am still able to enjoy life. Women with two breasts —regardless of their size—should thank God every day for them. And women with only one breast should thank God for that one. I thank God for every day that I’m alive (at the ripe old age of 52) to be with my family and friends. I am reminded of an old proverb that goes something like this: “I wept because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.” I can still find people who are worse off than I am. Sign me... “THANKFUL” DEAR THANKFUL: It’s letters like yours that will give many people cause to pause. God love you. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are in our late 20s and have been married for five years. We are both college-educated and have fine jobs, a good home and a beautiful child. On the surface our marriage seems perfect. And it is, except for one thing. Our sex life. About two years ago my husband began losing interest in sex. I tried everything I could think of—frank discussions, tears, attempts at “new variations” recommended in the “how to” books. Nothing worked. Finally, I suggested we seek professional help. My husband flatly refused to see either a doctor or a marriage counselor. The total absence of a physical relationship has left me frustrated. My husband claims he “loves” me, and that his coming home right after work, buying the food, etc., rather than drinking and gambling, is proof of his love. He says, “hugs, kisses and sex” do not prove love. He is a good man, and an excellent father. But I refuse at 27 to forego an active sex life. In the past year I’ve even had erotic dreams about some of the 18-year-old boys in my classes. Please help me. FRUSTRATED DEAR FRUSTRATED: If your husband flatly refuses to get professional help (which is the only solution to your problem), you have two choices. (1) Accept things as they are, or (2) make other living arrangements. Personally, I think he's being unfair to you, and unless he changes his mind, I see an unhappy ending to this otherwise perfect marriage. DEAR ABBY: Nine years ago, when I was 13, I was reading your column aloud to my mother when I came across a letter from a mother who had a daughter my age. The mother said that to clear her conscience she told her daughter that the man she thought was her father was not her real father—someone else was. The daughter then told her mother that she hated her and would never forgive her! I then said, “What a foolish girl. It must have taken great courage for that mother to have told her daughter the truth. She didn’t have to.” While I was talking, my mother had her back turned toward me, and when I finished, she turned around, and there were big tears in her eyes. Then she said, “Do you really mean that if I were to tell you something like that you wouldn't hate me?” I replied, “How could I hate you for being human?” Then she told me that I had been conceived when she was 40 and a widow, and that my real father had then been 24. (He was a friend of my older brother.) He wanted to marry her, but she was ashamed of being in love with a man young enough to be her own son, so she refused. Soon after, she married the wonderful man I’ve always thought was my real father. I am 22 now, and want to thank you for printing that letter. Otherwise I never would have known. WITHHOLD MY NAME

Dear Heloise : The little 2”x4” scrubbers for nonstick pans make excellent soap dishes. They retain the jelly for a quick scour job in the wash basin and are decorative, too, since they come in pretty pastel colors. I always hated cleaning soap dishes—now I have forgotten how! “Jo” Moran * * * Dear Heloise: An inverted butter dish lid makes an ideal saltines server. PatS. ♦ * * Dear Heloise: I was cleaning my sewing machine and finding it hard to reach the tiny lint traps. So I thought I’d try a cottontipped stick with some oil on it. Great! This made my job much easier. C.A.
