Fewer houses
needed , expert says
NEW YORK (AP) —- Differ
ent values and financial capabi
lities of postwar offspring, the
divorce rate and a move back
to the city are responsible to
day for America’s needing few
er and smaller houses, says
House & Home magazine.
The magazine notes that post
war babies have “values and
capabilities far different from
their parents’ ways and
means” and that steadily
shrinking real incomes, along
with rocketing costs, have led
these men and women to buy
“smaller houses than those in
which they grew up.”

Fashions for fall
soft and feminine
By Ellie Grossman
NEW YORK (NEA) - If
you took a blouson top and fill
ed it up with air, you’d have a
bubble. Some designers did
that for fall.
Others were short of breath,
so they just took the drawstr
ing and made it so’s you could
lower it to the hip, the knee,
sometimes even lower than
that.
Everybody yawned and
stretched and said, let’s keep
things nice and soft. And full.
By all means full because
we’ve got all this material on
our hands. So we ll get rid of it
in tent dresses, full dirndl
skirts, and ones with lots of
pleating — you can use a lot of
material in pleats — and
jackets of all lengths.
And let’s keep putting one
thing on top of the other in
different textures and prints,
but not so it’s heavy.
Let's use jersey and chailis
— we ll all use chailis in floral
and paisley prints — and then
mohair, angora Everything
that’s nice to the touch, light
and sweet.
Feminine, you could say.
Let’s give ’em femininity up
to their ears with Pierrot
collars. We’ll all do Pierrot
collars in one thing or
another, but especially in soft
blouses to go with all the
skirts.
And, along with the usual
tweeds and plaids for fall,
let’s pamper them with winter
pastels. Pale blues, pinks,
white. Lots of white.
And, listen, we’ve got a
good thing going with ponchos
and shawls and capes — think
of all the material they re-

NEW YORK (AP) - Mary

For a girl of 19 to sail a clip

continents through storm and
frigid weather, her captain-hus

Can’t shield tots
from dirty words
By Abigail Van Buren
1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N Y News Synd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: Recently my husband and I moved into a
new neighborhood with our 5-year-old daughter and
6-year-old son. In this neighborhood, there are several
children, ages 5 to 10, who use our home for a central
playground.
My children are delighted to have so many new
playmates, but I am afraid they're a bad influence on ours.
Several of the neighborhood children have been using
swear words and dirty language. My husband and I never
talk that way, as we dislike it intensely. Our children are
repeating these words, and we are upset.
Tonight my husband noticed some extremely vulgar
words written on our garage, and we’re sure that neither
our son nor daughter wrote them.
Should we try to cool our children s relationship with
these children? Try to supervise them when they are here?
Or do you know of some other solution?
J CONCERNED
DEAR CONCERNED: You can’t raise your children in a
glass cage. They are bound to be exposed to all kinds of
language sooner or later. Don't make a big deal out of it.
Tell them you disapprove of X-rated language, and ask
them to respect your wishes and cut it out. But do it with
love, not anger.
DEAR ABBY: This is my second marriage and Otto’s,
too. I keep our house in perfect order and am an excellent
cook.
I get SIBO unemployment every month. Otto wants me
to give him one-third of my check to pay for my room and
board.
I pay for all my necessities and buy my own clothes. All
he pays for is the food I eat, and I think the work I do
around the house more than repays him for my room and
board.
His take-home pay is SB9O a month. What do you think of
Otto’s demands?
SECOND WIFE
DEAR SECOND: I think he’s out of line. I’ve never
heard of a man charging his wife room and board. And
exchanging your domestic services for the food you eat
sounds more like a business deal than a marriage.
DEAR ABBY: I am 16 and I’m having a disagreement
with my father. I am invited to a baby shower for a friend
who is my age, pregnant and unmarried.
My father doesn’t want me to go. He says if I were to go
and bring a gift, it would mean that I think what this girl
did was okay.
I don’t think what she did was okay, but she is my friend
even if she did make a mistake, and I don’t see anything
wrong in attending the shower. Do you?
KOKOMO GIRL
DEAR GIRL: Unmarried mothers-to-be need the moral
support of their friends (and the baby gifts, too), even
more than some married girls. I don’t agree that attending
the shower and taking a gift necessarily lends approval to
the girl’s behavoir.
