Dear Abbyi Babysitter falls for bedtime story

DEAR ABBY: I'm an 18-year-old girl with a problem I can't talk to anybody about. 1 am very shy, and just don't know how to say no to people. About three months ago I went to bed with a guy I babysit for —l'll call him "Mr. M." He's divorced and has two little kids. Even though I knew it was wrong for me to go to hed with him. I didn't know how to turn him down without hurting his feelings. "Mr. M." is a nice person, but he doesn't consider me in his class, or care about me as a person. He's dating a woman his age (35* who sometimes sleeps over. Now that I’ve gone to bed with “Mr. M." five or six times, I don't know how to refuse him. I don't feel anything special for him, like I did for the guy 1 went steady with last year. 1 want to quit baby-sitting for this man, but 1 really like his kids and they are crazy about me. Also. I'm too shy to tell him what's on mv mind. What should I do? CAN'T SAY NO DEAR CAN’T: You CAN My no, and you MUST! Your problem is not “shyness,” it’s a very low self-esteem and lack of confidence. You need more help than I can give you in a letter. Please see a professional at your local mental health clinic. You must learn to assert yourself, and put an end to allowing yourself to be used. DEAR ABBY: I am a f/J-ycar old divorcee in love with .« charming, well-to-do 55-vear-old widower I'll call Frank, lie

is delightful company and wants to marry me. Now for the problem. Frank has two married daughters (whom I have never met) who want to run his life. They are so afraid that someone is going to take advantage of their father that they can't stand it. (His wife died two years ago and he’s afraid to tell his daughters that he has been dating!) When Frank takes me out, we have to go where his daughters will not find out about it. Also, when he comes to my home he takes a taxi so no one will see his car parked in front of my house! How can I convince Frank that it’s time he lived his own life and quit worrying about what his daughters think? BACK STREET BONNIE DEAR BONNIE: If you could meet his daughters and win them over it would be ideal. But a grown man who hides his lady friend from his daughters sounds like poor husband material to me. DEAR ABBY: My neighbor across the way keeps standing in front of his window stark naked! I do not catch accidental glimpses of him in this state. He actually stands by the window that way hoping to be noticed. I have reported him to the police, but they say he is in his own home and there is nothing they can do about it. He has a wife and children, but he does this while they are not at home.

Leftover can protect and harm carpeting

DEAR HEIX)ISE: Your recent article about rugs and carpeting and the use of leftover pieces brings up a question. The man who shampooed my carpet advised me not to use leftover pieces on traffic areas. (I thought I was being smart!) He showed me the back of the carpet and explained that its roughness was like sandpaper and would wear the carpet under it more than norma! traffic would. As he had nothing to gain by offering this information, 1 removed the pieces. Can you tell rne if he is right? Sarah Hawkins ★ * * Ellen S. Miller, textile and consumer specialist for the Association of Decor Specialists, says “If the back of leftover carpeting is rough, over a period of time it can cause an abrasive action against the pile yams of the installed carpet beneath it. “This will occur only if there is a lot of traffic passing over the area. “However, during winter months in areas with snow and

Should I tell his wife? I don’t know her very well, but I will speak to her if you think it will do some good. NEW NEIGHBOR DEAR NEW: The man needs help. Present the bare facts to his wife. DEAR ABBY: My husband is thinking about buying a "hot” color television set and also a "hot” movie projector. The man who wants to sell them got them from someone who steals to support his drug habit. I told my husband I thought it would be wrong for us to buy these items even though we can get them way below cost, but my husband says if we don’t buy them someone else will. Abby, I don’t want any part of a deal like this, but how can I convince my husband that it’s wrong? NO NAME OR TOWN, PLS. DEAR NO: He KNOWS it’s wrong. Just tell him that anyone who knowingly buys “hot” merchandise stands to share in the guilt of the theft —if caught. Who said the teen years are the happiest?

heavy rain, it is wise to use a walkoff mat or runner to protect the carpet. “In regard to the color of the underneath carpet changing, this should not occur. If there is a difference in color, the exposed areas of carpet are the ones that probably will fade or change as a reaction to sunlight and pollutants. “The portion under the scraps is protected and will probably remain close to the original color.” Thanks so much, Ellen, for sharing your inside information. In light of the above facts, folks, would I use a leftover piece of carpet on my rug, knowing that over a period of time it might cause a certain amount of damage due to its abrasiveness? You bet I would! And do! I’ve seen what traffic can do to a carpet and I personally feel nothing can cause much more damage. Not only does traffic wear the carpet out unevenly over a period of time, narticularlv in Iront of doorways, but these areas are much more subject to soiling than less travelled

Rev. Paul Bowen officiates

Keller, Turner exchange nuptial vows

Dixie Lynn Keller and Michael D. Turner were united in marriage at New Providence Missionary Baptist Church Saturday, Aug. 18 with Rev. Paul Bowen of Greencastle officiating at the altar, decorated with palms and candelabras The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Keller, Route 2, Cloverdale. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ora Turner Jr. of Greencastle. Preceeding the ceremony, a program of wedding selections were played with Frances Massinon, friend of the couple at the piano. Phil Cash, accompanied by Mrs. Diana Callahan, sang “You Needed Me,” and “Whither Thou Goest.” Both Mr. Cash and Mrs. Callahan are lifelong friends of the bride. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a Paris gown of white cotton lace, cut out and reembroidered, featuring a pemplum waist and long, bell sleeves. The full circular skirt extended into a chapel-length train as did the bridal veil of sheer illusion silk. The veil was attached to a headpiece designed by the bride, fashioned of white silk sweetheart roses and silk lily of the valley. Her bouquet was also of white silk sweetheart roses and silk lily of the valley accented with long white satin streamers. Her only jewelery was diamond earrings, a gift of the groom. Mrs. Donna Hodge of San Diego, California, sister-in-law of the bride, attended her as

areas. In addition to doorways, use carpet pieces in front of chairs and couches in family rooms to protect the rug from excessive wear in these spots. I feel this preventive measure adds years to the life and beauty of a carpet. Just be sure to pick the scraps up and vacuum under them often daily if possible. Dirt sifts down through these pieces and is more abrasive than the carpet backing itself. In fact, while we’re on the subject of vacuuming, it is very important that you go over all traffic areas every day with a vacuum cleaner. You don’t have to do the whole rug (it should be vacuumed at least once a week, though) just trafficked areas. To make your carpet wear well, it is imperative that you don’t neglect it. Dirt grinds the pile down more quickly than most anything else. The best advice I can givt you is to take care of your carpet and it will give you pleasure, as well as service, for years. Hugs.

matron of honor. Mrs. Lanette McGaughey and Mrs. Polly Carter, schoolmates of the bride, served as bridesmaids.
