DG3r Abby: Boy friend's bar hopping leaves girl home alone

DEAR ABBY: “Jimmy” and I have been living together for two years, and we get along great. My problem is Jimmy’s buddy (I’ll call him Leo). Jimmy and Leo used to go out and make the bars before Jimmy and I started to live together. Then lah> moved out of town, and I was relieved. Now Leo is in the picture again He comes to town nearly every weekend and encourages Jimmy to make the bars with him. Leo has no steady girl—he’s a womanizer, and when he and Jimmy go out together, they stay out practically all night. Jimmy never goes near a bar until Leo comes in town. I’ve tried to explain to Jimmy that we are a couple, and I don’t want to be left sitting at home while he’s out barhopping with Leo. Jimmy says he and Leo were best buddies before he even knew me, and besides, we aren’t married, we’re just living together. Well, I consider him my husband, and I feel like I’m his wife. Leo knows how I feel, but he continues to encourage Jimmy to go with him. What should I do about Leo? FEELING THREATENED DEAR FEELING: Your pro-

Heloise: Good care of career clothes preserves investment

DEAR HELOISE: 1 have just made an investment in my career wardrobe and want some hints on making my new clothes wear longer. I have purchased some expensive things and want to make sure 1 protect them as much as possible so they will last longer. Can you offer any help? Mindy J. * * * Here are a few tips I am happy to share with you. Never overstufT the pockets of a jacket, coat or dress. This may distort the shape of the entire garment and cause the pocket stitching to break and the pocket to show wear. Select and attach jewelry carefully. If the tip of a pin is blunt it may break the fibers and damage the garment. You should always remove jewelry when you take off a dress or jacket. Be careful when eating and in any situation in which food or chemicals might be spilled on

blem isn’t Leo, it’s Jimmy. He’s doing what he wants to do; no one is forcing him. Don’t blame Leo—thank him. He’s showing you a side of Jimmy that you might not have seen until it was too late. DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend of mine (whom I’ll call John) bought four theater tickets—one for himself, one as a birthday gift for me, and two for friends of his. It was my understanding that John’s friends were going to pay him for their own tickets. About two hours before the performance, John called and asked if I knew anyone who would like to come along because one of his friends had canceled at the last moment. I found a friend who was glad to go, and we all enjoyed the evening. Afterward, I was astonished to learn that John expected payment for the ticket! It was my impression that the ticket would have gone to waste if it hadn’t been used. Who should pay for the ticket? John? The friend who canceled? Or my friend who came along at the last moment? STICKY SITUATION DEAR STICKY: If John’s two friends agreed to pay him for

clothing. Take care of spots immediately. The longer a stain sets, the harder it is to remove. Watch out when getting in and out of cars as they are infamous for snagging clothes. When putting on makeup, protect your clothing. A makeup cape even a towel tossed over shoulders can protect what you’re wearing. Never apply perfume or cologne directly to clothing. It could stain. Let deodorant dry before dressing. If your clothing gets wet in the rain, hang it on a plastic hanger to dry before returning it to the closet. Don’t wear the same thing day after day. Give clothing a chance to air out and rest between wearings. Last but not least, don’t store your clothing in direct light lest it fade the color. Follow care instructions to the letter. Never press soiled clothing or you could

the tickets, then the friend who canceled at the last moment should have paid John whether he used it or not. When John called and asked if you knew of anyone who wanted to “come along,” you had every right to assume that John was offering the ticket at no charge, since there was no mention of money. DEAR ABBY: Two weeks ago, I received a chain letter in the mail informing me that if I didn’t make 15 copies and send them to 15 people, I would suffer dire consequences—even death! I tossed it in the garbage. Since then, my TV set broke down

press in spots and stains forever. In short, an ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Heloise BARGAIN SHOPPING Dear Heloise: Have you ever noticed that the best bargains are usually located on the lower shelves in the stores or in-out-of-the-way bins? Most of the higher-priced brands frequently are placed on shelves located at eye level. Beware of those special sale signs and fancy displays they do not always indicate the real bargains and the best buys. J.G. * * * Too true! Bend a little and save a lot.

and now my refrigerator is on the blink, and I had a big fight with my husband. I usually laugh at such coincidences, but now I am wondering if maybe my throwing that chain letter away has something to do with all this bad luck I’ve been havine. SCARED IN NEW YORK DEAR SCARED: Chain letters are just so much rubbish, but they can be damaging if a person becomes frightened by them. Chain letters that threaten “dire consequences—even death” are against postal regulations. Should you receive another, send it to your postmaster.

which 1 put all that sort of stuff as soon as it is put down, not in its proper place. Each child, when looking for a lost article, has to do a small chore of my choosing for the privilege of looking in the “lost” box. My rules were that I wouldn't reveal whether the article was in the box or not, so they had to comply or go without until they did. It worked very well. I got quite a few little chores done for me without arguments or fuss. You can imagine it didn’t take long before everything started going into its proper place when they were finished It brought some peace to our home. ♦ ★ * I tear Heloise: l have a hint for conserving energy while washing dishes, your hair, or showering.
