There will be only the two of you, and you had better love each other now, because 60 years from now, only you will" remember all the wonderful experiences you shared, and those memories will be golden." They both became very quiet, and I thought perhaps they were too young to understand. But it must have "made an impression, because they never squabbled or tried to hurt each other after that. I wish my parents had explained to my sister and me 40 years ago that sibling rivalry is natural but brothers and sisters who are not good to each other lose something precious. Lucille in St. Louis Dear Lucille: What a beautiful sermon! This is one column I hope will go up on thousands of refrigerators and under a great many dinner plates.

Send questions to Ann Landers, 5777 W. Century Los Angeles, CA 90045. Dear Ann Landers: Lately, you have printed several columns about parents who show favoritism to one child over another. My parents did this to my sister and me, but fortunately, we have a wonderful relationship, in spite of the way we were raised. One of the reasons we get along so well has to do with a column you printed many years ago.

It made a deep impression on both of us. I keep a laminated copy of the column in my scrapbook, so I can look at it from time to time, and remember how important my sister is to me. Please print it again for all those siblings who cannot seem to get along. Love My Sister in Connecticut Dear When this letter first appeared in my column, I was overwhelmed with requests for copies. It seems a lot of parents wanted to be sure their children did not suffer from the sibling rivalry that had affected them.

I am happy to print it again: Dear Ann Landers: I hope you can stand reading one more letter about siblings who grew up hating each other. Both my husband and I had parents who pitted their children against one another, and made it impossible for us to be close. I was determined that competitiveness would never separate my own two children when they were growing up. When their adolescent squabbling turned mean-spirited, I stepped in and helped them learn how to settle things before they destroyed each other. This worked pretty well until one day, when they were in their early teens.

They had been quarreling and hurting each other all day, and I was sick of it. I became angry, and blew my top. "You must become better friends," I said, "because, God willing1, you will both live a long time. I will be gone, and your father will be gone, and all your teachers and many of your friends will be gone. There may be only the two of you left, and you will remember what you were like as children.

Nass' "Wills of the Rich an Famous." Quite revealing an often touching. Foxtrot By Bill Amend Judith Light, who electrified Broadway last year when she took over the role of the dying woman in "Wit," tackles another strong female part when she closes the Washington, D.C., Shakespeare Theater's 2000-2001 season with "Hedda Gabler," Henrik Ibsen's pathological anti-heroine. Michael Kahn directs, and Light's "Hedda" will run from June 5 to July 29, 2001. You might think Miss Light has come a long way indeed from her "Who's the Boss?" sit-, com days, but this actress, also famous for her charity work, made her Broadway debut in 1975 in another Ibsen classic, "A Doll's House." She has really just come full circle. Barfora won't disappear There's been some joking about Barbra Streisand's "final farewell" concert tour, but the star's longtime manager, Marty Erlichman, assures us that the September engagements in LA.

and NYC will be her last four public performances ever! He says he has fielded at least 120 calls from promoters who want to book Streisand, but no deal. She's had it and will not alter the decision. Now, before we start rend- ing our garments, remember, folks, all this means is that Barbra won't sing in public again. She's not retiring to a convent Shell continue to record, make the occasional movie, direct, produce and otherwise rule the world. Speaking of producer Barbra, she just snapped up the film rights to "Julie and Romeo," Jeanne Ray's best-selling novel about sex at 60.

HA HA. NOW IF YOU COMEDIANS HAVE ANT HOPES OF SURVIVING UNTIL I'm sorry, mom, but tonight's dinner has been voted off the table. Ml Short stuff If a big love fest between Melanie Griffith and her "Cecil B. Demented" director, John Waters. Melanie, who plays an unpleasant, kidnapped movie diva, says, "I've always wanted to be in a John Waters movie.

I've always adored him he's so avant garde, cool and totally uncaring about what people think." For his part, Waters is amazed by Griffith's survival instincts, given her early stardom and various show-biz adventures: "She has a great sense of humor about herself and her life in Benicio del Toro, well known as one of the most versatile "indie" actors on the scene, is nervous about frequent comparisons to Marlon Brando. Benicio tells Spin magazine, "I can sit here and go back and forth all day thinking, 'Is it a compliment? Is it bad?" (It's not bad, kid. No matter that Marlon has become something of a figure of fun in recent years and a rather tragic cautionary tale as well he remains one of the preeminent actors of our time). Arthur Laurents, the Broadway legend who left no personal stone unturned in his amazingly candid memoir "Original Story by Arthur Laurents," puts his money where his mouth is on MTV sensitivity When you see Madonna's "Music" video aired any minute on MTV, youll notice some digitally obscured areas of the screen. If you think there's something really nasty happening beneath the digital mosaic, you'd be wrong! MTV, that bastion of good taste which brings us the annual "Spring Break" bacchanal has decided that some of the female dancers in the video were being "objectified" because their heads were not shown while they performed (this part of the video happens at a strip club).

It is to laugh! I love everybody at MTV, but it's a bit late in the game to start worrying over "objectifying" women. I understand that VH1 is riot so delicate. It intends to run "Music" unobscured headless dancing ladies and all. Classic Peanuts By Charles Schulz (joe metaphor!
