Dear Abby: Woman finds being chaste means not chased

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 54-year-old financially independent professional woman who has had many suitors. The list includes a film producer, a psychiatrist, a novelist, a banker and a chief of staff in a large hospital. I enjoy the company of men, but I am celibate. My problem: These relationships end when 1 tell them I’m celibate. These men and I have found each other mutually interesting. I wonder why they don’t continue seeing me and get their sex elsewhere. I’d like to meet some gay men or celibates like myself, of equal social position, who enjoy female companionship. Where do I find them? NOT FRUSTRATED IN L.A. DEAR NOT: Try the Gay Community Services Center or the Catholic clergy. But why not give sex another chance? You could wind up happily married to a film producer, a psychiatrist, a novelist, a banker, or a chief of staff in a large hospital.

Heloise: Reclining chair can prove fatal to small animals

DEAR HELOISE: If pet owners had any idea how dangerous a reclining chair can be, they would take special measures to keep small dogs, cats and any other pets out from under them. I learned the hard way when a very special puppy was killed when he went under the recliner while it was in an upright position. I’ll spare you the details but take my word for it, it was a situation I wish someone had warned me about. Ken McKinney * * * I thought a recliner might be dangerous but never heard of an animal’s being killed by one. Thank you for alerting us. I’ll be sure to be very careful with my little ferret that I sometimes let run around. I hope this never happens to anyone else’s pet, now that we know how dangerous these chairs can be. I’m so sorry it happened to your puppy. Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I see by your column that the U.S. Postal Service goofed when it put the wrong colors on the rump and tail feathers of the American bald eagle. However, it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference if the feathers are dark or white. Now let me tell you about a more serious mistake made by our government that has yet to be corrected on a national scale: I wonder how many people know that the first battle of the American Revolution took place on Oct. 10, 1774, at Point Pleasant, which is now in the state of West Virginia. This was six months and eight days before “the shots heard ’round the world” were fired at Lexington and Concord. I am very much annoyed that our history books still state that the opening battle of the American Revolution took place at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Can you help me and other proud West Virginians to set the record straight once and for all? FURIOUS IN WEST VIRGINIA

PERFUME SAMPLES Dear Heloise: I have a small suggestion that I think you might like. The samples of perfume we get from department stores or in the mail can be put to good use. I tuck them into my dresser drawers or hang them in my car. They give the interior of the car a beautiful, clean scent. L.C. EASY-SPREAD BUTTER Dear Heloise: Have a problem spreading cold butter right from the fridge? I don’t anymore since I started using this great little hint. Run the butter knife under very hot water for a few seconds. Presto! Nice soft spreadable butter for your bread. Ris Moderalli. DIAPER PINS Dear Heloise: Thought I’d share a hint with other mothers. To keep diaper pins handy and slick for use, and out of my little bov’s

I)EAR FURIOUS: This historical gaffe is strictly “for the birds.” (Here we go again!) May I respectfully suggest that you enlist the help of your U.S. senator, Robert C. Byrd. * * * DEAR ABBY: You just saved my summer! You had a letter in your column about the duck hunters using Avon’s Skin-So-Soft as a mosquito repellent. 1 have always used that product, but this summer I didn’t order any, and now I know why the bugs are having a feast every day on my person! In past years when I used Skin-So-Soft I never had trouble with mosquitos. I never knew it was an insect repellent, but that’s exactly what it did for me. I’ve already ordered a bottle. Thanks a million. GRACE IN SACO, MAINE DEAR GRACE: You’re welcome. (P.S.: For the record, I have no stock in Avon Co.)

reach, I thought of this: I sewed a pocket, the size of a bar of soap, onto the front of my diaper stacker. Mine hangs right over the changing table, out of baby’s reach. I leave the wrapper on the soap, put it into the pocket and insert the pins through the fabric into the soap. All three problems solved!! Sally LIME DEPOSIT Dear Heloise: Here’s a little hint

DEAR ABBY: “Downhearted” complained because she and her husband had not had sexual relations in seven months. She wrote, “I know he’s not cheating on me because he never goes anywhere except to work, and then he comes directly home.” I’m retired now, hut I used to work with a middle-aged woman who for years would meet her married lover at a sleazy little hotel every day on her lunch hour.
