Dear Abby: Buy-a-bride, $25,000 down
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 24-year old woman with an important decision to make. I met a very wealthy man who wants to marry me. He bet me $25,000 to $1 that I would NOT marry him before Christmas Day 1979! (That means if I marry him, he has to give me $25,000.) I fly with a big airline and met him three months ago while flying. He’s a perfect gentleman, great company, and knows how to treat a woman. He refuses to tell me how old he is. but he looks about 75. He says he can give me everything I want but sex, and if I marry him he wouldn't mind if I got myself a boyfriend as long as I was home every day by 6 p.m. He's been married five times and has three grown children and seven grandchildren. He says all I have to do is sign an agreement stating that if he dies while we’re married, I am entitled to only $1 million. His family gets the rest. Also, if HE wants out of the marriage, HE will pay me SIO,OOO for every month I've lived with him. But if I want out. I get nothing. In the meantime, he agrees to provide me with a car of my choice, all the clothes I want, and SI,OOO a month pocket money. How does this deal sound to you? IN THE CLOUDS DEAR IN THE CLOUDS: It sounds like a business deal. I suggest you retain vour own lawyer. DEAR ABBY: Many people write to you complaining because they sent a gift "six months ago," and never received a thank you for it. Why don't these people telephone (or write) to the person they sent it to and ask if the gift was ever received? (IF it was, and they neglected to acknowledge it, they deserve to be embarrassed.) v There is always a chance that the gift was NOT received. I work in the department of the post office where packages are undeliverable because the address a) has “fallen off or b) has become smudged and cannot be read or c) is in

Heloise: Prewash laundry spray also cleans walls
DEAR HELOISE: We all know how grubby and spotty the wall can get, especially those of us who have small children and-or amateur mechanics in the house. Well, after a very long day of washing clothes, children and animals and finding a filthy pair of jeans I had missed, I wasn’t aiming too well with my bottle of prewash laundry spray. I ended up getting quite a bit on the wall.. When I cleaned it up, I was stunned! The wall was spotless! Feeling an attack of cleverness coming on, I took the spray and hit one of hubby’s grimy fingerprints. It came off with no scrubbing! I’m “allergic” to doing walls, but I went over all of the worst spots in the house and got them looking like new in less than 30 minutes. The only thing that took any scrubbing was my 3-year-old’s “pencil masterpiece,” but the

Ann McKeever ★ * * DEAR HELOISE: I hate to brown meatballs on top of the stove, so I stick mine under the broiler to brown, then put them in with the sauce to cook through.

No need to pull the spread and all of the covers from the bed when changing sheets. Place a chair at the foot of the bed and pull the covers and spread onto it. Put on clean sheets, pull up (he covers and spread and, with a little adjusting at the foot, the bed has been

Mary Y. * * * Even if you didn’t stop up the vents, it is not safe, luv. Never clean an oven with ammonia while the pilot light is on. And never, never clean an oven with any type of flammable cleaner while the pilot light's lit.
