Her mother made one for each of her five daughters. (I inherited my mother's.) I live next door to this aunt. I've never had a key to her house, yet she has told everyone who will listen to her that I stole her quilt! I thought she would stop her lying once she realized how ridiculous it would be for me to steal her quilt. Shall I see my attorney about suing her for slander and defamation of character? Or should I see her minister and ask him to tell her that a person can go to hell for lying, same as stealing? Have you any suggestions as to how to stop a liar, short of punching her out? C.A. IN PAULS VALLEY, OKLA.

DEAR C.A.: Trying to "stop" a liar is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. The poor woman could be disturbed, so I advise you to do nothing. People who know her and you will consider the source and pay no attention. Abigail VanBureriis a syndicated columnist. You can write her at P.O.

Box 69440, Hollywood, Calif. 90069. DEAR ABBY: In reference to "Hates Ding-a-Lings" the lady who hates wind chimes I would like to swap places with her. I live within 150 feet of a church with a P.A. system that broadcasts hymns twice a day at noon and again at 6 p.m.

These are lovely and enjoyable. However, once in a while something goes wrong with the "timer," and the machine throws the program off schedule. Like last night, the chimes were released at 2 a.m. This is not unusual. Once I asked a neighbor if she had heard the chimes in the middle of the night and she said yes, but she was afraid to mention it for fear people would think she was "tetched" in the head if she said she had heard hymns playing at 2 a.m.

JOE H. CROOKS, RICHMOND, VA. DEAR JOE: The wind chimes letter rang a bell for many readers, both pro and con mostly con. Read on for a letter from a reader who researched the subject: DEAR ABBY: After losing too many hours of sleep because of a neighbor's wind chimes, I did some research on the subject of jcai leaiueuiv mieiuai mem- cine at Waterbury Hospital Health 1 I TTT A 1 A 1 followed by a three-year residency ui ueuiuiugy ai laic university 111 v. new iia veil, iuiiu.

Richerson received the Mead Johnson Award for overall excel sound. The results of several studies Indicate two points that pertain to wind chime problems: 1. If a person knows tnat he-she can control the sound, that sound is less likely to cause irritation, frustration and the loss of sleep. 2. Annoyance from sounds increases if those sounds are unpredictable and uncontrollable especially those of high frequency and pitch.

I feel that no one should hang wind chimes outside without first obtaining the approval of all neighbors within hearing distance. ALSO HATES DING-A-LINGS, DES MOINES, WASH.
