Dear Abby: What does a person do when she comes face to face for the first time with a friend (or acquaintance) who has had cosmetic surgery like a nose job or a facelift? I recently ran into a woman who had just had a face-lift, and with absolute sincerity, 1 said, "Your recent surgery has improved your appearance 100 percent!" She gave me an icy stare and walked away without even saying thank you.

I felt like 2 cents. Another time, I pretended I didn't notice that a friend had recently had a nose job. It was obvious, but I said nothing. Finally, she said, "Don't you notice anything different about me?" I felt foolish. Of course I'd noticed, but after having learned my lesson with the face-lift lady, I didn't want to mention it.

So tell me, Dear Abby, what is a person supposed to do? Stumped. Dear Stumped: Since vanity prompts most people to have metlc surgery, to ignore it would be unkind. But to comment too enthusiastically may give the Impression that her (or his) former appearance was dreadful, which is worse. If the improvement is conspicuous, say, "You look great!" They'll get the message without having to decode it. Dear Abby: While our 29-year-old daughter is no raving beauty, she is better looking than most of the girls whose pictures you see in bridal veils in Sunday papers.

She is very intelligent and has lots of dates, and I know she has. turned down several good marriage proposals. Abigail Van Huron When I ask her what she is waiting for, she says, "Don't rush me, mom." Is there any way I can get her to hurry up and think seriously of marrying and settling down? I am 55 years old artd would like to see a few grandchildren before I leave this earth. Impatient in Dear Impatient: Many moms who have rushed their daughters into marriage see more of their grandchildren than they expectred to they're raising them because the marriage didn't work out. If you're eager to see things hatch, raise chickens.

Dear Abby: One of the girls in the office is getting married next month. Her fiance is in prison and won't be released until 1983. They will be married in the prison with only a few people attending. Is a bridal shower appropriate under the circumstances? This girl has very few close friends, as far as we know. Should we in the office give her a bridal shower? We want to do the right thing.

Not sure. Dear Not Sure: I think it's a lovely idea. Give her a shower. Dear Abby: Please ask your readers to use a little common sense when they write personal messages on their Christmas cards. My 85-year-old mother received a Christmas card from a nephew who lives in another state.

On the card he scribbled, "Every years we hold our breath wondering if we will hear from you." Last year, this same idiot nephew wrote, ''Your Christmas card was the first to arrive this year. We pray it won't be your last." Abby, please point out that elderly folks do not need to be minded, especially at Christmastime, that they arc not immortal. Don't use my name or city, as this nephew is hot deliberately unkind. He's just stupid. Faithful reader.
