Hints from Heloise Tape recorder beats magnifying glass

DEAR HELOISE: ■ I have a cousin who is going blind. Your column doesn’t appear in her newspaper so I ;send it to her and someone reads it to her. She has always done the most beautiful crochet and knitting in the most intricate patterns. She could not read the directions without a magnifying glass, so she hit on the idea of recording the instructions on a tape recorder. Then she can play the instructions back, and stop and go as needed. She makes some of the most •beautiful things you have ever seen. Also she sends tape letters to her children. She lost her husband a short time ago, so she is filling her life by helping others, even though she can not drive her car anymore. She has not learned yet to let others help her, like driving her to church or shopping. Mrs. E.P. Kaun * * * Some people have that certain knack for doing for themselves. Our heart goes out to people like your cousin. May God continue to give her strength to help herself and others. I’m sure this gives her a lot of happiness. Helolse.

DEAR HELOISE: My daughter and her roommate at college have very little storage space in their dorm. They both have matching sheets and pillowcases. Since there is only one linen shelf in their closet, they were always having to unfold all the sheets to find their own set. Each sheet had just a little name tag sewn on the hem. To save time, my daughter embroidered an edge of her pillowcase. She now folds and slips the top and bottom sheet into her marked pillowcase. Her roommate also keeps her clean sheets inside her unmarked pillowcase. It just takes a second now and each can identify her own linen at a glance. Beverly Gimpelson DEAR HELOISE: I was always having trouble with my drapes fading. In only a few months, after hanging new drapes, they would be all faded. Now I have found a way to remedy this. I had several old shower curtains (all an offwhite) so I decided to line my new drapes with these. You also can buy inexpensive shower curtains for this purpose.

Dear Abby: Paper chase proves dotted line is bottom line

DEAR ABBY: Many couples who live together without marriage say, “We don’t need a piece of paper to make our commitment binding. A piece of paper doesn’t mean a thing!’’ May I point out that when a person buys an automobile he had better have that “piece of paper” or he could be in a lot of trouble. Also, a driver’s license is just “a piece of paper,” but you’d better not be caught driving without it. And when a person buys a home, or any other piece of property, he makes sure he has that “piece of paper.” And when a person graduates from high school, college or a trade school, that “piece of paper” can make the difference between getting a job and not getting one. We live our lives with pieces of paper, beginning with a birth certificate and ending with a death certificate. And let’s not forget the will —another very important piece of paper. So when 1 hear people say, “A piece of paper doesn’t mean a thing,” I’m reminded of the classic old adage: “Ignorance is bliss.” PAPER ISHHOOK DEAR PAPER: Granted, written documentation makes life immeasurably less complicated, but common-law marriages have been recognized as legal and binding for a long time in some states.

I saved quite a bit of money by using these shower curtains and also added life to my drapes. Linda C. * * * DEAR HELOISE: Since I am no longer a regular 9 to 5 gal, I found I wasn’t getting the exercise I needed. So I don’t try to save steps in my housekeeping routine. I walk around the house constantly, and when I pour my cup of coffee, I put it on the kitchen counter. When I want a sip, I walk to get it. This walking bit does not apply to your younger readers with a family to care for, or working mothers! They need to conserve their energy so they can enjoy sitting down to that cup of coffee instead of just collapsing into a chair. Dorothy Runta ★ * * Boy, we all need to keep in shape, but there’s more than one way of getting there, right? Heloise * * * THIS COLUMN is written for you the homemaker If you have a hint or a problem write to Heloise In care of this newspaper Because of the tremen dous volume of mail, Helolse is unable to answer Individual letters. She will, however, answer your questions In her column whenever possible.

Forgive my pickiness, but the “classic old adage” you refer to is not “ignorance is bliss.” It’s “Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” (“Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College” by Thomas Gray.) DEAR ABBY: I feel like a silly adolescent writing to you about this, but I’ve always respected your advice. I’m a 26-year-old woman, never married, who is currently dating a man my age who is in the same boat. I care about him, but here’s the problem. He doesn’t kiss very well. To be honest about it, the man just doesn’t know how to kiss at all. Please don’t tell me to talk to him about it. I just couldn’t. I’m afraid his feelings might be hurt and I’d never see him again. I am very much attracted to him and, given a chance, I think we might be good for each other. Please help. FRUSTRATED DEAR FRUSTRATED: You need not tell him anything. Show him by kissing him the way you want to be kissed. Unless he’s a total lummox, he’ll catch on. DEAR ABBY: There is a great deal of controversy in my family as to the proper terminology of the following: When the bride enters the church to meet the groom, is she walking UP the aisle? Or is she walking DOWN the aisle? CONFUSED IN LIVERPOOL, N.Y.

DEAR CONFUSED: She is walking DOWN the aisle. After the ceremony she walks UP the aisle. DEAR ABBY: I’ll get right to the point. I am a very at tractive 20-year-old girl and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’ve had many dates, but nothing has ever come of them because the guys always seem to want something in the end. My girlfriends tell me that if I were to give to a guy a few kisses it wouldn’t hurt me, but I’ve tried that, and they are all over you in no time, and then you have a big fight on your hands. Also, why does a girl have to give a guy a REASON for refusing to go to bed with him? I am tired of trying to ex plain that there is nothing wrong with me. (One guy offered me a chance to prove to myself that I wasn't a lesbian. How’s that for a novel approach?) So how do I get a decent guy who just wants good com pany? I’m not about to give up what I’m saving for my wed ding night until I’m sure there’s going to be a wedding . SAVING MYSELF IN S.C. DEAR SAVING: You can get a decent guy by being yourself. Don’t lower your standards! Getting married? Whether you want a formal church wedding or a simple do-your-own-thing ceremony, get Abby’s new booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding.” Send $1 and a long, stamped (28 cents) self-addressed envelope to Abby: 132 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif.
