You might even consider, having a small party to introduce the child and her mother to a few other children and their mothers who live in your area. New friends her own age might relieve you of the child's constant need for attention. If all of this turns out to be in vain, lock your door and don't answer the buzzer, no matter how long she leans on it. Eventually, your little friend should get the message and go away. Family Find: I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows about the Bennett family from De Soto, Mo.

I don't know the first names of the parents. I think the mother died in the early 1900s. There were, four children: Lilly, Belle, Caroline and Hermann.The father was unable to care for them. He H.W.E. First of all, remember that you have the right to be alone.

There is no rule that says you have to let this child impinge on your life this way. She's there because you have let her into your life without much fuss. The next time she leans on your buzzer, tell her that you "can't play 'iday" that you need time all by yourself to do certain things just as her mother does and that she should find something to entertain herself for a while. Then, set a specific time when you will be able to be with her, so that if she comes back too soon, you can tell her "It is not time, yet, dear. Another hour" or whatever time you want.

Before you start this routine, you might even want to take the time to teach her to tell time. That way, she can and, perhaps, will check a clock before she returns. Dear Martha Carr: I am writing to you because I don't know what else to do. A month ago, a new family moved in next door to us. There is a little 4-year-old girl, who is constantly at our house, any time of day or night.

If she sees me outside, she is there asking pointless, annoying questions. Jf she doesn't see me outside, she over and tries the door. If it is locked, she leans on the buzzer until I come and answer it. When I let her in, she follows me around while I clean or cook or whatever, talking all the time and destroying everything in her path. Meanwhile, her mother is at home in peace.

Sometimes I think I ought to send her a bill for baby sitting. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get rid of this child? Generally, she is pleasant enough. It's just that I have no privacy, and I have trouble getting things done the things that I have set out for myself. 1481-6005 (314)41 II. 8 30 TO 4 00 Hear St.

Over 800 people showed up." The Urge is on a three-week tour in the South and Midwest, has a fourth album due out next month and in mid-March is scheduled to play at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, a showcase for hot new bands from all over. The Urge got started when most of its members attended Webster Groves High. Jeff says that in the early days the Urge did "routine high school stuff" like mixer parties. "Our first gig was at Webster High. We did a few house parties in people's basements.

Nothing major, but we just kept going." The band's first real gig was at the Great Grizzly Bear in Soulard. One of the bar's owners had graduated from Webster. "Then we branched out to Cicero's basement and Blueberry Hill and Kennedy's," Jeff says. "Now, Karl bass player Karl Grable and I work only for the band. The rest work part time but get off for road trips as they come up." Sometimes, age does make a difference.

University City band director Jeff Melsha recently tried to get a weekend gig at a Clayton coffeehouse for students in a quartet called Jazz Abstract. The joint was looking for jazz musicians but got less interested, after learning the group Melsha had in mind was still in high school. Chalk one up to frustration, though Jazz Abstract has since been hired at From page one broken up." Stuart Dill is the drummer for Thumb, one of the high school bands that play at Bastille's. After practicing together for a year, Dill says, he and two classmates from Parkway West decided last summer to get serious about their music. Since then, they've played several local gigs.

"We do all original stuff," says Stuart, a senior, who describes Thumb's music as "part rock, part funk, part alternative." "We'd like to go somewhere with it, get really big and well-known. But we don't really talk about that. We just are, like, going with it right now." Andy Lansangan, a senior at Crossroads in the West End, has played in four bands since he was 13. He's now on drums with the Outcast, which until a month ago was called Blender (the name changed when a member left). Blender played at the Wabash Triangle Cafe in the Delmar Loop and Kennedy's in Laclede's Landing, in addition to Bastille's.

Andy and other teen musicians say one of the biggest hurdles is being taken seriously. "That's probably the most frustrating aspect," says Jeff Herschel, 24, drummer for the Urge. "We've been out there since '85, but I don't think anyone took us seriously unt'l the last three years. "In fact, I think the first time I Festut, M0 Med-Plex Medical 1400 N. Truman Blvd.

Fred Wilson a senior at East St. Louis Lincoln High, says young artists have to take themselves seriously before anyone else will. "In our case, I think the jazz tradition at Lincoln really helped us," says Fred, a jazz pianist.

Along with sister Anita, a junior who sings, and classmate Greg Lewis, who plays tenor sax, Fred is part of the group Jazz 'n' Us. The group played and got paid for weekend gigs at Two Black Cats on Washington Avenue until the downtown restaurant shut down last month. Fred says he and Greg wanted to do something with their music in addition to playing in jazz bands at Lincoln. So they talked to a teacher who worked at Black Cats and asked if he would set up an audition. The next thing the three knew, they were being signed to play.

"We got a number of other gigs as a result," says Fred. "Right now we're so busy with the jazz band at Lincoln, we hardly have time for anything else." Speaking of time, Carlos Dixon, 18, and Victoria Recano, 17, seem to spend all of theirs with Team 11, a group of multitalented teens who help promote kids programming for KPLR (Channel 11). They create vignettes that air during the station's "Disney Afternoons" from 3 to 5 p.m. They also sing and dance at live shows that pay each of the group's 13 members $50 a pop. "Not only is Team 11 an outlet for us to be creative, it also lets us relate to kids as kids," says Carlos, 18.

He graduated from Edwardsville High School last June and writes and performs original raps for the group. Victoria, a senior at Cor Jesu Academy, adds: "After years of dance and piano, to perform with a group as talented as this is an unbelievable self-esteem builder. All those years of lessons finally are paying off." Poplar Bluff, M0 2706 N.
