mention past affairs Dear Ann Landers: From time to time you print letters from girls who ask if they should tell their prospective husbands about: a past love affair. You wisely tell them, "Keep quiet. A man should be willing to accept a woman as she is for the person she is today. Her past is nobody's business." It's a funny thing about men from age 13 until they die, they use every trick in the book to get a girl to give in and even consider themselves more manly every time they score. But when they get ready to pick a wife, she'd better be a virgin or she'll have put up with his lip forever.

I say nearly all women are as pure as 99 per cent of the men they marry. If a girl volunteers any information about. her past indiscretions she deserves what she gets. Furthermore, any man who asks such questions should be told to get lost. He wouldn't believe her no matter what she said.

And it's an even bet he's looking for an excuse to bail out. Pisces In Portland Dear Pi: Thank you for a good job of re- a point worth making again and again. You speak the truth. Dear Ann Landers: How do I find out if a girl I used to write to i is still living? Mazie and I met at a summer resort last year. We liked each other a lot.

We wrote letters back and forth, until three months ago she stopped writing. Last week I ran into someone who lives in the same town. He said he had heard that Mazie died. I was shocked and asked for details but he said he knew her only casually and thought he had. read something in the paper about it.

He wasn't even sure it was the same girl. I don't want to write to her parents for fear of upsetting them. Yet I am anxious to find out about ror this. What. do you suggest? C.Z., Dear C.Z.: You can write to the office of the County Clerk in the area where the girl lives.

State the girl's name and address and ask if they have a record of her death. Enclose a selfaddressed, stamped envelope for the reply. If they tell you there is no record of her death, write to the gal and ask her to please drop a line because you've been concerned about her silence. Dear Ann Landers: I just finished reading letter signed Pittsburgh Reader. She wanted to take pictures of the neighborhood cats and dogs and pass them around the vacation resort when everyone else pulled out snapshots of their children and grandchildren.

I would like to tell you how my husband solved the same problem. He took a bottle of polish called Pride, put it alongside a bottle of dishwashing detergent called Joy and took a dozen photographs in color, repositioning them so each picture was different. Whenever someone handed him a fistful of snapshots of their children or grandchildren, he gave them his. pictures and said with a gleam in his eye "And now I'd like you to see our Pride and Joy." It didn't cure anybody but it sure did break up the monotony. Sign me Married To A Barrel of Laughs Dear Married: I'm sorry you weren't blessed with children to brag about, but at least you have a sense of humor.

Thanks for writing. Confidential to Answers Needed To Specific Questions: Sorry, I have no definition for' "normal" and I have yet to meet a person who is willing to admit he is "average." Being lawyer can be hard it you also sew PARIS (AP) It can be hard to be a lawyer if you know how to sew. Eight years ago, Sara Shelburne left her hometown, Richmond, to finish her thesis in international law. Now, the 28-year-old is still in Paris but using a scissors instead of a pen. "I absolutely adore clothes," says the dark-haired Miss Shelburne, who has always done her own sewing.

She started making clothes for other people as a hobby and slowly it got the better of those dusty law books. "I have no fashion experience," she says with pride. "'but I draw, sew, drape, cut, make patterns and design my own prints. I guess you learn by doing." It all began with three enormous suitcases and $1,000. The first she lugged to New York stuffed with her initial collection.

The second she used to buy the plane ticket. knew from, nothing. No one had ever heard of she reminisces. "I just called up a store and said, 'hello, may I speak to a buyer'?" About a year ago she opened her very own boutique, called "Sara Subtitled Fashion in her clothes often to department stores and specialty shops throughout America.

But A to isn't enough. Her real aim to resurrect a dying breed, "the faithful customer." As bait, she offers those little services that have made the French dressmaker famous through the centuries.

This means a missing button or singed sleeve replaced, with the only charge being a word of thanks. If you have a special dress in mind, Miss Shelburne or rather, her eight workers will whip it up for the same price as any dress in the shop. "This pays off," she admits. "Anyway, our prices are cheap for France. Fifty dollars for a crepe de chine dress is just Apparently, the price is right, for she will soon open a chain of "Sara Shelburnes" in France, beginning with a second store in Paris.

Course in calculus to be offered During the fall quarter Lake Land College will offer the first course in a three-course sequence in calculus at Effingham High School. The course is being offered as part of the evening college program and will be taught by David Greeson, a regular member of the mathematics staff at Lake Land.

TOM HOGE AP Newsfeatures Writer Despite the soaring cost of shellfish in America, it still is one the top favorites here at home or dining out. The late Michael Field of Culinary fame reported that Americans consumed more lobsters, shrimps, crabs, scallops, oysters and clams per capita- than any other nation in the world.

But then, where else in the world can you find such specialties as oyster stew, soft-shelled crabs and tangy chowders that abound in America? Crabmeat is second only to shrimp as the most popular shellfish in the United States. The hard-shell or blue crab of the Atlantic seaboard, the Dungeness of the Pacific and the Alaskan King crab are those most available in food stores. In the opinion of many cooks, the small blue crab, for all its sweetness, is hardly worth the trouble of preparing at home. After all, one can purchase frozen crabmeat taken from the Dungeness of the West Coast. Soft- -shell crabs are something else, however.

Many people are not aware that the soft-shell is not a distinct species, but merely a blue crab that has shed its covering.
