10 Wednesday Nov. 19 Mattoon JOURNAL-GAZETTE Wanna slim down? Try the $440-a-week herbal wrap jv MMMSm lis 1 jT 1 the doctor's recommendations in mind, works out a schedule. There are fnany Items to choose from. There is a gym, more or less routine except for the soft carpet on the floor. There ere massage tables, which Hutton designed himself.

These have a slit in them, for the subject's nose. Thus, a man can lie completely horizontal on his stomach, without having to twist around to breathe, while expert masseuses knead away at his back. There is a herbal wrap room, where a man is swathed in a sheet that has been soaked in a secret formula of herbs. "The materials for the herbal wrap solution," Hutton says, "cost $9 the pound. Twenty-one exotic oils from the Orient." It smelled at least $9 vorth.

There are indoor ind outdoor baths, special showers from Switzerland with 21 nozzles, steam rooms and resting rooms. And racks with the Wall Street Journal on them. The Roman baths, Hutton said, have fixtures that cost $1,200. The tubs are sunken and a neat little sign on the wall explains about the fluid that is used: "Carbonates, sesquicarbo-nates, bicarbonates, sulfates and chlorides of lithium, sulfates of magnesium, and iron, finely I subdivided precipitated sulfur of potassium, sodium lauryl sulfate, hexachlorophene, water soluble chlorophyllins, natural and essential." But it didn't say anything-about artificial coloring. Hutton said the average stay is two weeks, that most of the guests are middle-aged and up, that they have money and need help.

Some come to lose weight, and these eat in a special section of the spa's restaurant and choose from a special menu that prints the calories next to the food, like most menus print prices. cucumbers 16, casserole of ginger beef 146, lemon gelatin But most of the guests, Hutton says, just come to relax, and there is nothing better than steam, chlorides of lithium and a parfait facial for an up-tight tycoon. The prices? ItH run you $440 a week. Or $700 a week for a man and wife. That includes all the marinated cucumbers you can eat DICK KLEINER R'ANCHO LA COSTA, Calif.

(NEA) The room was dimly lit and restful. Gentle music played through the sound tern. There were tantalizing, exotic smells in the air. On the tables, three figures lay, wrapped in soft sheets, while three women applied rare oils to their faces. This was the facial room at La Costa Resort Hotel and Spa.

It is luxury carried to the extreme, but you would be wrong if you said that the women patrons were being spoiled. You'd be wrong because the patrons are men. There is a women's wing to La Costa, identical in every way to the men's spa. But that is a more orthodox happening. It is 1he pampering of men, in a flood of rare perfumes and high-cost plumbing fixtures, that is unique.

Warde Hutton, director of the men's spa, led the way. Male guests, he said, start out with a complete physical check-up. The doctor decides just now much of this the poor guy can stand. The men change into golden togas, made of a special stretch-knit fabric. Then Hutton, with sft-ra vfin Mr nrA Mrs.

It merely wears them down. I eloped at a tender age to get away from a non-stop talker my mother. I realized, too late, that her continuous talking drove me out of the house into a disastrous marriage. Believe me, Ann, I have listened to her for 70 years, and if it were possibje to become accustomed to incessant jabbering I would surely be used to it now. My mother is nearly 95 and deaf as a whatever.

This is, of course a tremendous advantage for her. She doesn't hear herself. She can't get along with a single soul. She is never wrong. No idea is good unless she thought of it.

She is understandably frail, her eyesight is poor and her hands are unsteady. But her vocal cords, the part of her anatomy which has every right to be worn out by now, are better than ever. Bunion-ed Ear Number Two Dear Bun: For those of you who must contend with the running commentary of a non-stop talker (and there were many who wrote) I should have suggested earplugs. They DO work!

Is there any law that says a woman must take her husband's name when they marry? Could he take hers instead? Our family name is simple and pleasant-sounding and I would much rather have it than his. He is opposed to the idea and I think he's being unreasonable. Please comment. Name Of The Game Dear Game: Your problem is not legal. It's emotional.

A man's name is important to him even if it does sound like a dirty word. I can readily understand your fiance's reluctance to trade his name for yours.

Of course, one must be ever-vigilant, because it is so easy to let our days start following set patterns.

Only today I caught myself telling a friend, "I was busy this morning but I haven't done one constructive thing all afternoon." What a misstatement of fact. What a lie! How I should be pitied if I really believed what I said. Upon analyzing my remark, I realized that I thought I had accomplished something during the morning because I had run a dozen errands, cleaned the stove and sorted a closet before noon according to my plans. For the afternoon, what I had planned included baking a pound cake, working on my files and doing some "necessary" typing. What I did that afternoon was, luckily, look out the window just as our cat led four new kittens from behind the back steps.

This meant I had to look for milk dishes and spend a half-hour admiring her new babies. Then I wrote two letters mostly about the new kittens and then I noticed a teddy bear who had been patiently waiting for a week to have his leg sewn tight. We still had dessert for dinner because I do think ahead for my family. I always keep lots of cubed jello in the refrigerator for emergencies.

NEWCOMER- 7, Some of us are just not the up-and-doing type. But after all. a dish washed at 10 o'clock is just as clean as one washed at 7:30, right? To those who thing this attitude indicates a notable lack of system, may I point out that the hazy, lazy sort of person seems always to be more prepared for the unexpected? The thing is, if theres a fire in the neighbors garage or a falling star or if the kids hold an impromptu kite-fiying contest, well, I'm going to attend. I simply do not feel a solemn obligation to finish the laundry first. Therefore, you can imagine my horror when a friend told me she had not watched much of the man-on-the-moon programing.

She does not have a portable television and the room where her TV set belongs doesn't have place where she can plug in her iron, so she had to stay in the kitchen. (I know. I didn't believe her at first, either.) She didn't stay up to watch the first steps because (I hate to repeat it) she wanted to "feel good" the next day, I simply cannot go on with the story.
