Anything but "John." He was named John for his father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Also after Saint John. Not a toilet! Abby, how did that ridiculous fad ever get started? It has become such an accepted part of our language now that even visiting friends have asked: "May I use your John?" I reply: "Of course not!" What is wrong with using, "restroom, bathroom, or Please, anything but John. WIFE AND MOTHER OF A JOHN DEAR WIFE: My consultant on words, Ted Bernstein, informs me that since the earliest times, there have been countless synonyms for "toilet" because people were reluctant to use that word. He suspects that "John" came from the word "Jakes," an old English word which means privy.

Jakes is a far cry from John, however. Perhaps someone from Flushing has the answer. DEAR ABBY: I can't believe it. Here I am, a 78-year-old woman, writing to Dear Abby! At age 32, I was married by a Presbyterian minister. Before we were married, my fiance and discussed our true feelings for each other.

We admitted we weren't wildly in love, but we felt that we could be good companions, work together in a compatible way, and have a good life together. And it turned out that way After I was 40, I gave birth to two sons. We were very successful in our farming project, accumulated acreage, and became financially well off. Now, my oldest son's wife tells me that because I married without being in love, I lived the life of a prostitute. She keeps throwing it up to my son that his mother was a "prostitute." Abby.

my husband and I lived together in peace and harmony for 30 years, and we would be together today but death took him from me. Meanwhile this daughter-in-law who calls me a prostitute has a very stormy marriage, and if that's the result of a "love match" I will take my kind of marriage any day. Would you say that a woman who married without being passionately in love led the life of a prostitute? NEEDS BACKING UP DEAR NEEDS: Certainly not! Your reasons for marrying were nobody's business but your own. Too bad you didn't keep it that way. DEAR ABBY: Recently, we had a gathering of friends and family in our home.

One of the guests removed his shoes and stockings and proceeded to put his foot up on the coffee table on which I had chips, dips and food for nibbling. (He said his feet itched!) My husband and I were both upset, but neither of us said anything because we felt it would have been poor manners to correct a guest in our home. We felt that his wife should have quietly said something to him, but since she didn't, we let it go. Later, another guest told us that we were wrong to have ignored such gross behavior. How do you vote? HOSTESS DEAK HOSTESS: With you.

Don't invite him back. Everyone has problem. What's yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY. Box No. 69700, L.A..

Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. For Abby's booklet. "How to Have a Lovely Wedding." send SI to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Beverly Hills.

Calif. 90212. Please enclose a long, stamped envelope. Clyde Davis photo Mrs. William Robert White were Miss Barbie Losak of Hazen, Miss Linda Grizzell of North Little Rock, Mrs.
