Dear Heloise: My idea is a money saver. I had several towels that our puppy ate holes in and corners off. I couldn’t afford to buy new towels and, basically, they were in good shape. My shower curtain was faded too. I made a patchwork shower curtain. Using six-inch squares, tfiis was easy. The size is 73 x 73. I lined it with plastic which I already had from another shower curtain. I patched the holes in the towels with remnant squares and even added patches to the ones that were perfectly good. Thus carrying through the patchwork theme. To carry it even further you could make a cover for your tissue box of patchwork sqtiares. This all costs nothing if you sew and have scraps around.
Dear Abby Can he get to heaven in a wheelchair?
By Abigail Van Buren . ; c 1974 by Chicago Tribune-N. Y. N«ws Srnd., Inc. ’/’DEAR ABBY: Everybody has a problem. Here’s one I've never seen in your column. It’s my husband's. ;; Charley is an amputee who gets around quite well in his Wheelchair, but his biggest problem is finding restrooms with doors that are wide enough to get his wheelchair through. > Perhaps if you print this letter and the enclosed poem (author unknown), architects who design public buildings will be more considerate of folks in wheelchairs: , I burn the rubber off my wheels. I can hardly wait; My wheelchair’s 30 inches wide, the john is 28. Some plead for civil justice when they are set upon. I ask for just one freedom, the right to use the john. I've thought about reforming and changing my evil waVs; To be a model of deportment for the remainder of my days. But when I get to heaven and face the pearly gates, St. Peter will say. ‘You're 30 inches wide. Our gates are 28!' AVON PARK. FLA. DEAR FLA.: Thanks for combining a serious and worthwhile thought with a bit of humor. I’ve found that those who have the most to gripe about are the first to see the humor in a difficult situation. .- PEAR ABBY: I was shocked to discover that even you believe that being single makes a woman a second class citizen. You told “No words" that the most generous thing she could do for her best friend's daughter, who shocked everyone by coming home with a small child after her promising marriage failed, would be to introduce the divorcee to some eligible bachelor, and keep her socially active. How disgusting! It sounds as though you are trying to get some homely Wallflower out of the closet. Abby. being single is not a disgrace or some horrible defect that needs to be immediately corrected. SINGLE AND SECURE DEAR SINGLE: Granted, not all divorcees want another marriage, but I still think that MOST divorcees would

Hints from Heloise
Another advantage when buying new towels or rugs, you can buy what’s on sale. No problem matching your present scheme. Your patchwork shower curtain contains all the colors of the rainbow. One more way of trying to save money. Gwen Nichols * * * Don’t you just love to find a way to use up all those scraps you have left over that are too good to throw away and yet you never seem to have any use for. What did you do with the dog? Heloise * * * LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: When I was a young girl in Germany and I would see a woman I admired for her poise, security and knowledge, someone would say, “She is thirty years old.”
of Mrs. Ned McPhail, state road 43, south. \ Delta Theta Tau alumnae will meet Tuesday with Mrs. Edna Farber, 712 Highridge, at 7:30. Assisstant hostesses are Mrs. Ruth McClean and Mri.Leonore Sutherlin. BAINBRIDGE-The Bain-
So I looked forward to being thirty all my life. Didn’t get much out of those other years because I knew all my clumsiness and insecurities would leave me at thirty. Well, here I am, 31, and no magic thing has happened. On the outside I have changed a lot, but on the inside I still bite my nails... Doris Musgrove * * * Dear Heloise: My husband, like many others, likes that extra “wink” each morning. Consequently his morning cup of coffee taken on the “fly” was always too hot to drink. I hit on the idea of freezing milk in the ice cube tray and storing it in a covered container. Now a cube or two of frozen milk makes that cup of coffee
welcome an opportunity to meet eligible bachelors and become socially active again. And those who don’t can always decline. DEAR ABBY: Fourteen months ago, my husband and I moved from Waco to Victoria, Texas. A friend from Waco told me to call her sister who lives in Victoria, so I did. This woman calls me every day and ties me up for hours. She won't get off the phone. I like her very much and wouldn’t want to hurt her feelings because she’s a very sensitive person, but if I don't call her, she calls me and asks why I didn't call her. If I tell her I've been shopping, she asks why I didn’t let her know that I was going shopping so she could go with me. Her husband does most of the housework and all the marketing, so she’s left with nothing to do and thinks everyone else has nothing to do all day like her. If I have a card game and don’t invite her I pray that she doesn’t find out because she'll get hurt and angry. I'm afraid I'll have to move out of Victoria to get some peace. I feel like my life isn't my own any more. How do I get out of her clutches without hurting her feelings? SMOTHERED IN VICTORIA DEAR SMOTHERED: There is no compromising with possessive people who make you feel guilty if you don’t include them in every part of your life. If you want “peace,” you'll have to "hurt her feelings" by cutting her phone conversations shorter and shorter. If you haven’t the courage to extricate yourself, tolerate the loss of freedom and don't complain. Everyone has a problem. What’s yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700. L.A.. Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. For Abby’s booklet, "How to Have a Lovely Wedoing," send 81 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212.

just drinking temperature and gives him his cream in his coffee also. No more wasted coffee sitting on the table to throw away. Mrs. Mildred Berger * * * Dear Heloise: When shampooing was an “at-home thing,” it was automatic to gather up the combs and wash them too. Now that we go to the beauty shop, it is not so automatic. So I keep a glass jar with an ammonia and water solution on my bathroom shelf. When I comb my hair before leaving for the beauticians, I put the soiled comb in the jar and take out the clean one, rinse it and put it on the shelf to dry. Now I always have a clean comb for my clean hair. Helen Hoblit
