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.

Valentine vignettes
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (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.

Fashion ’s rediscoveries
Spring’77 styles look familiar
By Ellie Grossman
NEW YORK - (NEA) - It
could have been a Sunday
afternoon. 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

everyone’s mind again.
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.
