Been There Dear B. T. Thanks for doing my work. I couldn't have done better. Dear Ann Landers: Most oeo- ple have trouble of some kind or another.

When we spend money to see a movie, we want to come away feeling better, not worse. We want to be enter tained. We don't want to see some heartbreaking story that makes us cry our heads off. And we don't want to see filth and dirt that makes up hide our heads so our kids sitting next to us can't see how embarrassed we are. The sex and nudity in the movies today is shocking to middle-aged folks.

We aren't used to it. My English isn't very good, Ann. but I hope you will print my letter because I am saying something important. And I think I am speaking for a lot of people. Thank you.

Senseless because the "personal touch" is actually that of the secretary, hot the executive. Impractical because of the time required in comparison with using the typewriter. With gift selections for customers, personal shopping for the boss, ad infinitum, who needs it? The coin has a ludicrous side. The envelope is handwritten by the secretary, and often con tains the signature of the em ployer, or even more ridiculous it may even have tne name oi the company or executive printed at the close of the message. Perhaps one day some courageous person of influence in the realm of etiquette will see it "like it is" and come to the aid of the secretaries.

How about you? Miss R. Dear Miss I do not "see it like it is," or at least as Miss R. sees it. I agree with her regarding business cards. They are not personal ana may oe typed, especially those bearing the company name and mes sage.

But social cards should be hand-addressed, and preferably bv a man's wife. Even a widow er, or a man whose wife cannot do their cards for some reason, should request that his secre tary address those cards by hand, even though the signature is printed. CHAIRMAN'S DUTIES Dear Mrs. Post: I am the new president of a church group. We are giving a tea to raise funds.

The tea is at the church. Is it necessary to have a welcome address and response when giv ing a social affair this nature. We are having a speak er and music. Should the minis ter make remarks about the oroEram? Mrs. H.

Capitol St. 3 3 i(VW ft s- 2 Cl)C CUlriomLeDHer TO ANN LANDERS Teen-Age Bad From Dear Ann Landers: I have a message for teen-agers who think they are in love. Will you hrtp me deliver it? Thanks. Dear Kids: This is experience speaking. When I was 16, I thought I was in love.

When I was 17. I came home two hours late from a date. My dad made us get married the next day. Sure I wanted to get married. Freddy gave me a ring and it was sort of fun, like playing house.

I'm 20 now and yesterday Freddy let it ail hang out. He told me he never wanted to get married but my Dad forced him into it. He hates to be seen with me because I have a nervous condition that has affected my legs. I limp when I walk and he is ashamed of being married to a cripple. I knew within weeks that I'd made a big mistake but by then I was pregnant.

I though I had to keep things together for the baby. I was wrong about that, too. A terrible marriage is no better for the kids than it is for the wife. Fred has a crummy paycheck and he drinks a lot of it away. I know he'll never pay support, so I've had to make it on my own.

I'm 20 and look like 40. The kids I went to school with don't recognize me when we meet on the street. It's hell. I hope I can get through to the know-it-all kids who read your column, Ann. Marriage is a very big step, and no teen-ager is ready for it, no matter what they think.

Experience Dear Friend: When "experience" speaks, smart people listen. Thanks for writing. Dear Ann Landers: May I say a word to that 15-year-old daughter who made her widowed mother promise she would never marry again? Dear Daughter: One day you will meet someone special and fall In love. You'll want to get married, and this is as it should be. It will never occur to you that you are leaving your mother alone.

At this moment you feel if vour mother marries, it means she no longer cherishes the memory of your father. You are wrong. And you are also afraid that a stepfather will take some of her love that rightfully be longs to you. You are wrong again. There are different kinds of love and a mother's love for a child is very special, Your mother should not have promised you that she would not remarry.

He played the ace and another heart to ruff in dummy. Back to bis hand with asecond diamond ruff and a third hearts would break. He led a low trump to his kind and, when East ehowed out.

He id ruff a fourth heart and returned to his hand by over taking dummy's queen of trumps with his ace. This set up a trump trick for West and South lost that trick and the spado finesse.

If South had done some thinking at trick one, his play to trick two would have been the ace of tumps. When East showed out, South would have that his hope of success would lie with the spade suit. He would have led a spade to dummy's jack at trick three. East would have taken his king end done anything, he wished, but he wouldn't be able to beat the slam. South would ruff a diamond low and a spade high rfter taking his ace and discard dummy's last diamond on the ace of hearts to make the rest of dummy's cards good.
