ABBY: IN BOOK OF ACTS Pastor Arid Nays WSCS By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: In your column recently you said that the hostess who asks if her guests want a cold drink, coffee, or a sandwich, and then sits on her bottom without making a move toward the kitchen, is just "lazy" she shouldn't ask, she should get up and serve it. Well, I'm sorry, Abby, but I don't agree with you. I am on a limited budget and I can't afford to prepare refreshments to throw out. I always ask if anybody wants anything first. And I am only too glad to serve whatever I have IF it is wanted, but it bugs me to watch guests toy with their food and pretend to enjoy it when they really don't.

BUGGED IN BEAUMONT DEAR ABBY: Just because a hostess doesn't FORCE eats on her guests doesn't mean she is lazy. Anyone who is so stupid as to refuse a cup of coffee when they really want one deserves to go i tho t. This business of having to BEG folks to have a cookie or a sandwich is for the birds. Whatever happened to the simple "YES" or "NO" when something is offered? I ask once and I mean it. And whatever answer I get is okay by me.

I don't beg anybody to eat or drink anything in my PLAIN FOLKS ABBY: My husband and I wish to differ with your advice to "OFTEN A GUEST," in which you state: "The hostess who sincerely to serve her guests donesn't inquire, she acts." We know some of these so- called sincere ones who act! They figure our digestions are as as eirs. They take offense if their goodies aren't. consumed, be it immediately after a banquet, or just before we hope to get some sleep. The good hostesses we know inquire, and then act accordingly. IN IOWA DEAR ABBY: Aha! I caught you.

You aren't always right. I think the hostess who puts'the food and" drink before her guests without first asking if they wish for anything is presumptuous and inconsiderate. It should be the privilege of the guest either to partake of refreshments or refuse. But if something is set before him, he feels compelled to "enjoy" it or offend the host. I have avoided calling on a certain relative who is a notorious 1 bad cook because she is the type who insists that her guests eat.

no matter what time of day or night it is. Her heart may be in the ri place, but my stomach can't take it. "BICARB BERTHA" DEAR ABBY: With regard to the letter signed "OFTEN A and your replv: I disagree' with you, Abby. I am a pastor's wife, and oh, how I wish well-meaning parishioners would quit feeding my husband! His clothes are bursting at the seams. He is earnestly trying to lose weight, but with all the calls he has to make, and peo I shoving goodies at him constantly, it is almost impossible for him to stay on a diet.

I am not saying he doesn't enjoy eating, because he does. But it would be so much easier for him to refuse if he were asked, instead of served. Please publish this. It might help. But don't use my name or the town from which this came.

Thank you; PASTOR'S WIFE DEAR ABBY: I agree with you. If you have something in the house for company, put it out and let them take it or leave it. I used to ask people who dropped in if they wanted a piece of my freshly-b a home-made bread, or a slice of my warm, just-out-of-the- oven green apple pie. And they would say, "Not ri ht now, but it sounds so go would you mind wrapping up a little piece so I can take it home and have it for my dessert tonight?" Now, Abby, you know I'm not going to wrap up ONE piece of bread or pie fora whole family. So there used to go a whole loaf of bread and a whole pie.

OLD-FASHIONED BAKER DEAR mistake was in describing the goodies. You should have just made the offer and skipped the commercials. DEAR ABBY: Apropos "OFTEN A The guest who gets ine is the one who, when asked if he wants something replies, "If YOU are going to have something, I'll join you." OFTEN ANNOYED Problems?
