Dear Abby: Male nightclub act too lewd fora lady

DKAR ABBY: All the employees of the restaurant where I recently took a job as cashier went to a nightclub to celebrate the birthdays of those of us who were born in March. First a young girl came out and did a singing telegram number that turned out to be a striptease, but that wasn’t too bad. Then a man ran out on the stage wearing a false face mask with long gray hair attached to it. He danced around, removing first his mask, next his shirt, then his shoes and socks. Then he took off his trousers, revealing a pair of shorts on which was printed some vulgar messages. He continued his dancing, left the stage and came out into the audience making a lot of sexy movements, twisting his buttocks in everybody’s face. Pretty soon he was down to a G-string, and when that came off he was bare naked except for a garter around his neck! Abby, I’ve been married for 18 years, and the only man I’ve ever seen naked was my husband. If I had been told what was coming and asked if I wanted to leave, I would have left, but I had to sit there for the whole show, which lasted 30 minutes. The entire audience was laughing and screaming. I wanted to crawl into a hole. What are my constitutional rights? At least movies are rated so people know what to expect. Why not nightclub entertainment? DISGUSTED IN ILLINOIS DEAR DISGUSTED: Minors are protected under the law, but it is assumed that adults who go to such clubs know what kind of entertainment to expect. The moment you felt uncomfortable, you had a constitutional right to walk out.

Kristine Titzer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Titzer, Evansville, and Michael Pursell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Pursell, Greencastle, will be united in marriage at 5 p.m. May 18 at the Neu Chapel, Evansville. Miss Titzer will be a 1985 graduate

* * * DKAR ABBY: My fiance and I have been living together for the last year. Before we lived together, my parents offered to pay the entire cost of our wedding. We are being married soon and have started to make the final arrangements, but their offer has not been mentioned again. What is the tradition regarding who pays for the wedding? And does living together change the rules? CURIOUS BRIDE TO-BE DEAR CURIOUS: Traditionally, the bride’s parents pay for the wedding, but there are not “rules” that obligate them to do so. (It’s a gift.) Traditionally, the couple wait until after they are married to live together, so possibly your parents broke with the tradition of paying for your wedding because you and your fiance broke with tradition by living together. I suggest you discuss this with your parents. * * * DEAR ABBY: I have been going with this guy for eight years. He lives with his mother and I have never met her. They live on the other side of town, and I have never even seen his house. He gave me a ring four years ago, but I am beginning to wonder if that means anything. I am not getting any younger and neither is he. I want to get married, but I don’t want to lose him by being too pushy. Have vou any advice for me? NOT PUSHY DEAR NOT: Unless you want to wait around for another eight

years, my advice for you is to give this man a deadline. Tell him that if there are no definite plans for marriage by July 4th, he can have his ring, and you can both declare your independence. Then you might see some fireworks!

Heloise Several shakes and ginger ale is flat and ready to remedy

DEAR HELOISE: I cannot take credit for this one... When my child had a mild turn myache, the most frustrating advice from his doctor was, “Give him flat ginger ale”. Does anyone keep flat soda around the house? Not me. Leave the cap off the bottle? Takes forever. It took my friend, Shelly, to show me what to do. She poured the soda into a glass, then poured it into a second glass. She repeated the process back and fourth about 20 times. Lo and behold! That ginger ale was as flat as a pancake! I could hardly believe it! This information was so valuable to me, I just had to share it! Mrs. Siegel * * * Many young mothers may be very happy you did. If the need ever arises, the info could come in very handy. Hugs for sharing. Heloise

MEAT LABELS Dear Heloise: When you purchase meat, use the label from the package as a freezer label when you rewrap the meat. You have an instant record of date, weight, cost and description of the meat. No more guessing! Martha Fisher GREETING CARD USES Dear Heloise: I love greeting cards but hate throwing them away. So I cut the pictures and laminate them between sheets of clear, adhesivebacked plastic. These are great as placemats or as coasters to protect tables, etc. I also laminate grandchilren's school pictures, put a strip of magne tic tape on the backs and display them on the refrigerator. Marguerite Nethers SHARING COVERS Dear Heloise: After 33 years of marriage and sharing a double bed, we are now smart enough to use queen-size top sheets and blankets. It’s great! No more pulling the covers off each other! M. & J.V. PICNIC TIP Dear Heloise: If you want to take milk along on a picnic, don’t bother with a thermos. Just put the container of milk in the freezer the day before. The next day, put the frozen container of milk in your picnic basket. It helps to keep your other food cold. Usually by the time you are ready to eat, it will be thawed. A good shake and it’s ready to drink. Tastes just as good as when you bought it. Mrs. Charles White TRAVELING DIARY Dear Heloise: When we are travel-

ing business trip, vacation or just for the weekend -- I keep a day-to-day diary in a spiral notebook, one with divided sections with pockets to hold receipts, small brochures, etc. Since I er\joy writing, even in the car, my diary is quite detailed. Interesting later to go back and re-read it or to check on some detail. June Hess * ★ * And, a good back-up for the I.R.S. Heloise PACKAGE MAILING Dear Heloise: When you have a package to mail but not wrapping paper, use a heavy, brown grocery sack. It’s a neat way to save money and sometimes you are lucky and the package will just fit inside the bag without cutting it. If not, cut it to fit. All you need to watch out for is that the grocery advertising does not end up in the very place you want to write an address when you don’t have a label handy to place over it... This has been a money-saver in our family for a long time so I thought I would pass it on. Elaine Young YARD CLEAN-UP Dear Heloise: When raking the yard, I use my TV tray to hold the trash bag. I take the tray off the TV tray table, place the empty trash bag where the tray had fit, folding the edges over the sides and spreading the bag open. The stand Ls sturdy and makes bag filling almost a pleasure! J.G. NON-SKID RUG Dear Heloise: Saw in the paper where someone wanted to know how to keep rugs from slipping. My suggestion is to get a can of latex spray paint and spray the back of the rug lightly and hang it up to dry. When you wash the rug, wash it in tepid water and air dry it. This works especially well on rubber-back rugs. Mrs. Geneva Uhl * * * EASY CORING Dear Heloise: I have finally found a way around the dreaded job of coring apples. Instead of using an apple corer, which usually makes a mess, I now use a melon bailer. I cut the apples in half or fourths and scoop out the core. It’s quick and easy and really a time-saver when you have a lot of apples to core. Lisa Giovannini * * * I like it! Heloise -★ ★ ★ Are you as clever as the readers who contributed to today’s column?
