Xnjy/ j i. Jk Oeaft. Find a friend, not a convent By Abigail Van Buren © 1977 by Chicago Tnbune-N Y News Synd Inc DEAR ABBY: I am 15 and I want to join a convent. The problem is, I am not Catholic. I’m not really anything, but I want to become a nun because I've never had a date and 11l probably never have one, and if I were a nun in a convent I wouldn’t have to make any excuses. After all, who ridicules a nun for not having a boyfriend? How does a girl go about signing up to be a nun? Please answer in the paper because I don't have any privacy here. If anyone in my family found out I asked such a question, I’d never hear the end of it. Thank you. FUTURE NUN DEAR FUTURE NUN: Sorry, dear, a convent is not a place for a girl to hide because she thinks she needs an excuse for not having a boyfriend. Women become nuns because of their deep religious convictions and desire to dedicate their lives to the service of their church. You need a mature friend with whom you can talk frankly about your feelings. Counseling from a Catholic priest could be extremely helpful. DEAR ABBY: I hate to hurt people's feelings, especially nice ones. But this 55-year-old man who is very nice, very kind and very successful, keeps asking me out. I’m only 18, but I can subtract—he's 37 years older than me! Fifty-five is not over the hill, but then again, it’s a little more than adolescence. How, Abby, do I made him understand without making him feel rejected? I’d like to be friends, but as a lover, I just can't handle the idea! Remember, Abby, he is the kind of man you don’t want to hurt. ROBBED FROM THE CRADLE DEAR ROBBED: Don’t tell him he’s too “old" for you-tell him you’re too “young" for him. Or tell him that he reminds you of your father. And if that doesn’t work, make it your grandfather. DEAR ABBY: I've been married for seven months and my problem is a friend of mine. (I’ll call her “Barbie”.) It seems that Barbie can't keep her hands off my husband’s bod. Barb has a husband of her own, but she likes to pinch my husband, punch his biceps (playfully) and feel his chest. It’s always in a joking way, but I don’t like all this feeling and touching with my guy. I’m not jealous, I’m just upset. Barbie’s husband either doesn't notice, or he doesn’t care. My husband says I’m making something out of nothing. My sister says I should come right out and tell Barbie, "Hands off my man!” What is your advice? ANNOYED DEAR ANNOYED: It’s your husband's "bod,” and if he doesn’t like being pinched, punched and touched, it's up to him (not you) to say so. CHINATOWN RESTAURANT Bakers Motel - N.

(AP) - Humorous, heartwarming sto ries involving people and ro mance are a natural by-product of St. Valentine’s day, says Hallmark researcher Sally Hop kins, who collects them. One husband took his wife into domestic relations court complaining she had received 27 valentines from her “circle of boy friends.” In court the woman sheepishly admitted to the judge that one person had sent them all — herself. Some years ago TV person ality Garry Moore surprised his wife on Feb. 14 by hiring four sky-writing planes to draw a heart three miles wide, pierced by an arrow six miles long, with Garry and Nell written in side. In England romantics no longer send valentines in the form of checks on the “Bank of Love.” They were banned for looking too much like the real thing.

They’d read all the papers. It was raining and probably the line at the movies would be too long. So they dragged around the house frowning, because they had to come up with something new for spring '77. They wandered into the kitchen for the rest of the eggs benedict, and spotted a dish cloth on the floor. What a terrific idea for a new accent, they thought: dish cloth stripes here and there in bold colors on separates and dresses with tattersall and window pane plaids. And we can use that open weave look in natural colors, in linens and knits. (One of them had waffles that mor ning, so he dubbed his look waffled.) Then they yawned and stared out at the rain and thought, there’s nothing else to do, maybe I’ll go up to the attic. Peering down as they climbed, they caught sight of a menacing roll of flesh overlapping their belts and they smirked devilishly. Waists — we’ll bring back the waistline and cinch it in peasant costumes with cummerbunds or sash straight or dirndl skirts with rope belts and things like that. Upstairs, they found a pic ture of an unidentified woman in a lacy camisole and sudden ly they remembered “Gone With the Wind,” which is on if J B J| ■ ■ \ \ jMEr "f I I :W. iTYkr' -rsS. si BdmgsL. wv* a-JL u Mtw^m * y9KIjBBF Spring fashion ROMANCE IS in the wearing for spring.

We’ll create wonderful, un wearable ante bellum dresses with acres of crinolines and tiers of taffeta, they decided. Lovely, frothy ball gowns for Dresden dolls. And let’s bring those Vic torian undergarments out into the open. We’ll use eyelet and lace and ribbons on camisoles and sundresses, even on tailored shirts, all in white. As they were leaving, they skidded on an old brochure from a cruise to the Carib bean. Hmmm. No one has really done Caribbean and South Seas prints and patterns, big splashy florals and birds and such. Let’s see, we’re already doing delicate florals and calicos in apron dresses. We can propagate vivid sarong coverups and strapless calypso dresses in exotic prints. We’ll make everything narrower, except for the big, full skirts, and we’ll do lots of neutrals and brights, sometimes combined. A pastiche of soft, unstructured clothes in all shades of gray and we’ll use red as an accent. Say, one of them exclaimed, wait’ll you hear this. Let’s make gold a daytime accessory. No, really, we’ll do it in belts, shoes and accessories — who’s to say it’s sleazy if we do it? Oh, all right, we’ll add other metallic looks like copper. Then they sat down in front of the television and fell asleep. Miss Cile Kem Tinley But they dozed restlessly because spring ’77 was taken care of, but now what were they going to do for fall?
