Member GOOD BUSINESS NET HEUP For more information call Ruth Schumacher 5-1104 Martha Ward 4-3309 Ann recommends young coot for her Ann young Dear Ann Landers: Kindly devote a column to the Romeos the Social Security set the way they worm their way into the widow's home, lounging on the well-made, expensive furniture, bought and paid for by a fine husband who worked his fingers to' the bone (may his soul rest in peace.) My elderly mother and I live together in the family home. I have not been in very good health lately. My biggest worry is that a certain old coot who has been courting Mother for several months will marry her if I should die. I've tried 'to open her eyes but she is flattered by his attention and acts like a silly school. girl when he is around.

This man is like a bone in my throat. I can't stand him. Please give Mother some advice, Ann. She reads your column every day, and if the old coot reads it too, that's perfectly fine with me. Hate Old Men Dear Hate: If the furniture is as good as you say, he won't hurt it.

Apparently your mother enjoys the old coot's company and that's her business. You need a hobby, kiddo. I recommend a young coot. Dear Ann Landers: My sister passed away six months ago. She was only 84 and left three young children.

Her husband was never one of my favorite people. Last week I bumped into him at. an antique auction. He was talking antimatedly with a good looking, blonde woman. I couldn't tell whether they were together.

I greeted my brotherin-law as warmly as I could which was not easy. I noticed he was not wearing his wedding ring. This was like a knife in my heart. My sister always. loved to see that ring on his finger.

She was sO proud that he was never without it. This incident has bothered me terribly. Should I get it off 1 my chest and tell him what I think of him for forgetting so soon? Still Mourning Dear S. Perhaps wearing that wedding ring would be like a knife in his heart, so why don't you tend to your knitting and let your brother-in-law handle his grief in his own way? Dear Ann Landers: Our baby is three months old. This is the first child in my husband's family' for 25 years so you can imagine the excitement.

Whenever we walk into a gathering of his relatives, they go wild over the baby and I am a nervous wreck. My mother-in-law grabs him, then an aunt comes along, next a cousin, then an uncle and a great-uncle and round the room he goes, from one pair of hands to another like a lollypop, and everyone gets a lick. Each one bounces him higher and handles him more roughly than the last. Naturally he spits up is lunch. My mother-in-law then demands to know what I fed him that caused him to throw up.

They figure that since this is my first child I am a dumbbell and don't know anything. What can do with all these well-meaning idiots? I'm to try anything. Alexandria, La. Dear Al: You're not going to change your relatives, nor can In the news Trowbridge girl receives award By Ann Landers Kathleen Meek, 10, of the Modern Woodmen of America Junior Service Club 8061 of Trowbridge, has received that club's 1970 Leadership Award.

Infants don't belong at large adult gatherings. The relatives can see him when they come to your home two or three at a time. Dear Ann Landers: I spent the weekend with a friend who went to the big city to work last year. We were high school classmates.

I was' surprised to find that every one of her towels and dishes has the name of a big hotel on it. 1 asked how she got away with all that stuff. She laughed and said "Practice! When I told her I'd be afraid to try, she said, "Hotels expect it. It's included in the bill." Is this true? Is what she does 0.K.? MNX Dear MNX: What your friend means is that hotel rates are higher because of theives like her. Someone has to absorb the cost of the stealing.

Do I think it is O.K.? I do not. A person has no more right to take a towel from a hotel than from a department store. Calendar of Coming Events Thursday, June 25 DeMolay Mothers, 7:30 p.m. Central Community Church Circle Five, 7:30 p.m. with Mrs.

By VIVIAN BROWN Associated Press Writer Career women may suspect their glamor stock dropped with their hemlines. They might be on the right track. The change from office teeny-bopper to sophisicated woman may lower male eyelids too, says youthful makeup man Stan Place. "The most depressing thing about the midi-longuette fashion worn mainly by the over-30 set may be that women will their beauty regimes that kept them slim, and they may neglect to update their faces. "I predict women will get 10 pounds heavier, unless they continue to exercise and diet as they did when their skirts were short, their knees showed, and they were swinging in their minis." he explains.

A graduate of Ohio State University with a Master's Degree in Fine Arts, Place has applied his knowledge of color, lighting and form to the beauty world. On lighting, which he learned in the theatre, he is a consultant to Clairol, and on makeup he is television consultant- to many filmsand studios who are seeking a young point of view. He was on the road with "My Return home Mr. and Mrs. Harvey T.

Hart of 1321 S. 4th returned home recently from a two-week vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Clemons of Brownsville, were their hosts over Memorial Day weekend.

They then traveled to Morgantown, W. where they spent a week with Mr. and Mrs. Earl L. Hart, Hart's parents.

The. following week they spent with Mrs. Hart's mother, Mrs. Kay McCullough of Uniontown, Pa. Webers mark fiftieth year Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph P. Weber of 1216. Wabash celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house and reception in the Broadway Christian Church fellowship hall. Joseph Weber and Miss Pearl E.

Louthan were married June 19, 1920, in the First Methodist Church in Mattoon by Rev. Daniels. They have three children, Mrs (Virginia) Dolce of 3101 Shelby; Bernard Weber of rural Lerna; and Joseph P. Weber Jr. of Hillsdale, Mich.

They also have seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Weber, now retired, was engaged in farming and owned a farm near this city for nearly 30 years. MHS, attended electronics school in Louisville, completed his military obligations and is employed by American Telephone and Telegraph Co. In addition to several prenuptial showers given for the couple a rehearsal dinner was hosted by the parents of the bridegroom in the Holiday Inn on the evening preceding the ceremony and Mrs. Ramge served a buffet for relatives and out-of-town guests in her home following the wedding.

The full circle came about recently when he developed a four-way makeup mirror that provides lighting that is similar to fluorescent light. "The midi fashion is not for curvaceous ladies it is al long, slim, small-bust look, the kind of thing that Susannah York might wear but it wouldn't look well on Elizabeth Taylor. Many women will think of the style as something to hide behind, he explained. They shouldn't. It can't be done.

The midi fashion will be even more demanding than the mini it requires a big effort to wear it," he points out. Fashion is fickle, he warns, and hemlines are an indication of the economy. If things worsen, hemlines might fall to the ground, but if the economy improves, skirts might be heightened before you can say "exercise every day," The mini fashion was -good because women had to be healthier "with more of them exposed," he says. In addition to the slim lines of clothes, there should be an above-the-neck transformation. Hair must be dressed to make the head look small it can't be eased.

Hair should be rather than static in its style. It should be clean, soft, unlacquered. Lips can wear more color, but the color should be transparent. He likes lip glosses. Some Parisian mannequins have been wearing opaque lipsticks, deep red, at recent fashion shows, but Place considers this look an ageing one for the over-30 set.

Eyebrows should be thin, and delicate, but not pencilled in harsh line. He likes pastel eye shadows, translucent powders. The entire, image should be soft. Many women get a harsh look from putting makeup on in poor light, he advises. Makeup done under ceiling light in a bedroom may look a bit odd under fluorescent lights in the office.

The makeup room should be' well illuminated, and one should stay close to the mirror, when applying makeup under a ceiling light. Fluroescent lights can play tricks with color. Your makeup and dress may be color-unified when you leave home, but a different effect may be realized under office fluorescent lights. A makeup mirror can help improve your appearance, but many makeup mirrors provide a soft glow you look great when you stare into them: but you might look spooky under harsh light. You should stand about 18 to 21 inches away from the average makeup when you are applying makeup, he advises, and you choose lights that are similar to those in your office.

After-five clothes soft jerseys and matte crepes that fall to gently, mid-calf folds call for the special radiance of translucent makeup, in his opinion. In the evening, one should avoid the dull, rigid finish, the feeling that because it is after five, you can use more of everything in the makeup box. flower girl.
