Face lifts can
be tax deductible
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1977 by The Chicago TflbuneN.Y News Synd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: I know you're not a tax expert, but I
understand that you consult top authorities in all fields, so
I’m writing to you.
I am a 59-year-old woman, and believe me, I look every
day of it—and then some. My husband recently died after a
terrible 18-month illness, and all that weeping and grieving
put years on my face.
I’m sure a facelift would not only improve my
appearance, but do wonders for my morale, so I’ve decided
to get one. A friend who had one four years ago tells me
that a facelife is NOT a tax deductible medical expense.
Another friend who recently had one tells me that it is! Is
it or isn’t it?
WRINKLED IN NEW YORK
P.S. Have you ever had a facelift, Abby?
DEAR WRINKLED: No, I never have, but when I think
I need one, I’ll certainly give it serious consideration.
And now, I have some good news for you: A new wrinkle
concerning getting rid of the old ones developed last year.
The I.R.S. ruled that the cost of cosmetic surgery is a
legitimate deductible medical expense. Women (and men,
too) can now get a complete facelift—chin, neck, jowls,
under the eyes, the eyelids—the works—and it’s tax
deductible!
I tun indebted to my good friend, Sylvia Porter, for this
up-to-date information. And if you don’t own a copy of her
MONEY BOOK, get one. It can save you a small fortune.
DEAR ABBY: If an American man marries a European
woman, does she automatically become an American
citizen? Answer in your column as soon as possible as a
very important decision is predicated on your reply.
DON’T SIGN THIS
DEAR DON’T: No one “automatically” becomes an
American citizen by marrying an American. There is a
three-year waiting period. Then tests must be taken. If the
tests are passed, the person must then be “sworn in.”
DEAR ABBY: You may not understand how I feel,
Abby, but I’m sure your divorced readers will.
Seven years ago, after 40 years of marriage, my husband
left me and married another woman.
I see him from time to time, and I still care for him.
Lately when I receive my alimony check, it is sent in an
envelope with a return address sticker reading, “MR.
AND MRS. .”
Abby, when I take that envelope out of my mailbox, it’s
like a slap in the face. It’s bad enough to know that another
woman is using the name I so proudly used for 40 years
without seeing it in print. Do you think he’s doing it to
deliberately hurt me, or is he just thoughtless and
insensitive?
Should I ask my "ex” to please not use those stickers? Or
would that be childish of me?
HURT AT 69
DEAR HURT: There’s nothing childish about wanting to
avoid pain. He’s probably just thoughtless. Mention it to
him.

The Friendship Force is a
non-profit, private organization
designed to promote peace in
the world through “the force of
friendship.” The group was
chartered last month with the
aim of creating an envorinment
for establishing personal
friendships between citizens of
the United States and citizens of
other countries.
The Friendship Force was
announced March 1 by
President Jimmy Carter at a
meeting of the National
Governors Conference. At that
time, the President asked the
governors to designate state
directors in their home states.
The Friendship Force grew
out of a project started by
President and Mrs. Carter in
1973 when he was Governor of
Georgia. They made possible a
10-day exchange between 200
Georgians and 200 citizens of
the State of Pernambuco in
Brazil. Rosalynn Carter was
