Guest Uneasy at Bat Mitzvah Should to the Plate
DEAR ABBY: I am 14 years old and the
daughter of a successful businessman. Daddy
recently announced that we have been invited
to the bat mitzvah of the daughter of one of
his co-workers. I don’t want to go.
When I was in seventh grade, I
went to her brother’s bar mitzvah.
While the actual ceremony was inter
esting and enlightening (I’m
Catholic), the party afterward was
really uncomfortable. I’m not shy,
but it is hard to socialize with people
I have never met before on such a
large scale.
I am afraid I’ll be intimidated by
ail the other kids there who know
each other. How can I enjoy myself this time
around? I’d appreciate any advice you have.
— QUIET AND INTIMIDATED
IN CLEVELAND
DEAR QUIET AND INTIMIDATED:
You are older and more socially skilled now
than when you were a seventh-grader. You
don’t have to “sparkle,” because the attention
will be centered on the bat mitzvah girl.
Why not use being Catholic and not
knowing anyone to your advantage? Pick out
the cutest boy in the room, walk over and
explain that this is all new for. you.
Remember the circle dance in which every¬
one participated at the last party? It’s called
the “hora.” Tell him you don’t know how and
ask him to show you and lead you when the
music starts. You may make a friend.
DEAR ABBY: When I had my first child,
my sister “Ursula” bought me a cradle swing
that retails for about $180. I have used it for
both my children and have kept it in excellent
condition. My youngest is nearing the recom¬
mended weight limit for the swing, so I’m
considering selling it, as I do with all the
items my children outgrow. I should get about
$75 for it.
I’m a stay-at-home mom and my husband
works two jobs. We live on a tight budget. I’d

do I handle this?
— PUZZLED IN PLANO, TEXAS
DEAR PUZZLED: For Ursula to dictate
to you how you dispose of the gift takes a lot
of nerve, and no rule of etiquette obligates
you to give the swing to Bree. However,
unless you want that swing to become a bone
of contention and a source of resentment,
give it to Bree with a smile. The good feel
ings it will generate are worth more than $75
—and the penalty isn’t worth it. Trust me.
DEAR ABBY: This may be a dumb ques
tion, but I don’t have the answer. If my elder

yourself of your purpose.

CANCER (June 22-July
22). In order to powerful, remind your¬
self that you're
strong and able, you need to
do something for those who
are not in that category. For
instance, make a tax
deductible donation to a
charity you believe in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Your powers of empathy are
stronger than usual now. It
requires that you set your
own identity aside and slip
into the emotional space that
someone else occupies -- a
slightly difficult endeavor, for
but so rewarding you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Recent history has shown
you more than your share of
long lists working days, endless
task and plenty to worry
your pretty head about.
You're ready for a nice,
lengthy rest.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You need someone you can
really talk to, and just as the
need arises, file person does,

cal in that way. Merely think
about what would please

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). You're trying to be
nice, really you are. Then in
walks that person whom, for
your own private and depend¬
able reasons, you find it very
difficult to be nice to. Watch
those passive-aggressive ten¬
dencies.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22
Jan. 19). You have enough
social awareness for both you
and your very unaware
friend. When this person kids
about something that isn't
funny, or serves meat to the
vegetarian, everything you'll be the one
to make better.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You thrive on serendipi¬
ty, following your fanciful
whims and allowing room for
delicious distraction. Your
friend may be more control¬
ling and structured, which is
fine, too. Make "tolerance"
your motto.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Things change, people
grow in different directions,
and now here you are won¬
dering how to meet up with a
person whose world is cur¬
rently so foreign to you. The

share enough. that.
