Ann Answers Your Dear Ann Landers: My husband has started to do little things which annoy me no end. Please tell me how to cope before I flip my wig. If he puts on a shirt and a button is off he drapes it over a lamp or rolls it in a ball and places it on my breakfast plate. If the kitchen utensil drawer (strictly for odds and ends) should become disarranged he pulls out the entire drawer and leaves it in the middle of the living room floor. If the sugar bowl needs refilling he leaves it on top of the TV.

Last night we ran out of milk and he put the empty milk bottle in my bed. These not-so-subtle hints that I'm not doing my job are driving me crazy. Why doesn't he come right out and tell me I'm a lousy housekeeper instead of being so doggoned cute? Any BURN Dear Burn: Register no response to his precious gimmicks and he'll cut them out. Drawers DO become disarranged and sugar bowls DO get low, in the best of families. These are not legitimate signs of sloppy housekeeping.

But about those shirts. Babe I'm with him. A man who puts on a shirt and finds a button missing, has a right to blow his top. When you get THIS needle, Lambie-Pie, run some thread through it and start sewing. Dear Ann Landers: I am 27 years old and have a wife and four children, I am associated with my father in the ranching business.

My father was always a stern taskmaster, which I resented. During my sophomore year in high school he told me if I abstained from using tobacco or alcohol until I was 21 he would leave me a sizeable inheritance. I felt he had no right to impose such restrictions on my personal life and I turned down the bribe. Now, 10 years later, my father reminded me of it. Last week he reviewed his will and my "early stubborness," as he put it, will cost me about a quarter of a million dollars.

Do you consider this Dear ABC: You bet I do. Your father was not frying to bribe you. He made a handsome offer which you turned down. So far as I am concerned, teen-age smoking and drinking is stupid. In YOUR case it was not only stupid, it was darned expensive.

Dear Ann Landers: My wife's brother robbed a small store and got $16. It was his second offense and he was on probation because of his age. My wife was worried sick that this time he'd end up in jail. She begged me to go to the station and say I did it. I love my wife very much and agreed to do this foolish thing to make her happy.

When my father heard about it he came down to the station and told them I must be taking the rap for somebody because he and I were at the bail game together at the time of the robbery. When my father showed them the ticket stubs they let me go and arrested my wife's brother. Now my wife is mad at me. She says her brother will have to serve time and it's my fault for not denying my father's story. I'm afraid she will leave me and take the children.

What can I Dear Confused: It sounds like you married into a great little family. You can't do much about a wife who'd rather send her innocent husband to jail than her guilty brother. Enlist your clergyman's help. Maybe HE can get through her thick skull. Too many starry-eyed lovers do not know the difference.

Do you? Send for ANN LANDERS' booklet, "Before You Marry Is It Love Or enclosing with your request 20 cents in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of this newspaper enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
