You must be keeping a man on the side!" I've been married to this sour puss for 20 years. After three years of his handling the money I had to to work and pull us out of the hole. This is my record he turned the money over to me: We now own Ann Landers, two cars, our house, a boat, color TV, good furniture and we have no bills. We have sent his mother $35 a month for the past 10 years. Our two children take music lessons and have good clothes, bikes, camera equipment, and everything they need.

When we married he was making $5,000 a year. Now he makes $12,500 but remember the cost of everything has gone up. Will you please print your opinion of my record? UNAPPRECIATED DEAR UNAPPRECIATED: Cheers! You should be Secretary of the Treasury! DEAR ANN: I met a boy at a summer resort last July. He is 20 and I'm 17. I never fell so hard and so fast for anyone in all my life.

We met late in the season and had only a few dates before he had to leave. Several days ago I was passing through the city where he lives and I phoned him to say hello. He was out but his mother suggested I drop him a line. I started my letter "Dear Jim" and closed with "Love, Sue." My letter was triendly but not mushy. His reply came yesterday and it made me feel like a fool.

He started his letter "Hi" and closed with "Buenos Dias." I want to write to him again but I don't know what to do about a beginning and an end. Can you help me? BELITTLED DEAR BELITTLED: "Dear Jim" is still a good beginning. It's the conventional way to start a even bill collectors start this way. doesn't mean "You are dear to me" or anything like that The "Love, Sue" was too friendly. Sign off with "Buena suerte" and let him look it up.

DEAR ANN: My husband and I have been married four years and are very happy. He has three children by a former marriage and pays a whooping support bill. I didn't meet Wendell until alter he was divorced so hif. ex-wife can't accuse me ot breaking up her marriage. When Wendell and I started to go together she tried to get him to remarry her but it didn't work.

Last year she gave up and married a mediocre who promptly lost his job. The ex-wife called Wendell a few months ago, and said the children were getting nervous and insecure because their step-father was unemployed. Could he put the guy to work? Wendell agreed and now they are in our hair but good. They drop over frequently "to talk business" and the ex looks at Wendell is a way I don't like. Any advice? N.W.

DEAR N.W.: It was good of Wendell to get the guy a job. His mistake, however, was employing the fellow himself. You are justified in resenting the woman's presence in your home. Tell your husband he must find his ex's husband a job elsewhere. This set-up is unhealthy.

Are your parents too strict? You can benefit from the experiences of thousands of teen-agers if you write for Ann Landers' booklet, "How to Live With Your Parents." enclosing with your request 20 cents in coin and a addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of Alton Telegraph enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope. I960. Field Enterprises.

Save your audacious experiments for evening hours. All soaps or detergents are not for all people. Experiment to find the one best for you. Nature's finest set of teeth will do nothing for you it they are not cared for. Regular visits to your dentist and scrupulous attention to mouth care pay dividends in beauty.

Fashion Facts Black silk chiffon emerges for the holidays in a romantic bell-skirted version. This one has a bodice entirely of lace. Juniors who look good in the sheath can shine in the satin version this Christmas. It's done in lilac, aqua and hot pink. Give your skin Cooking Cues You can pep up a tomato sauce for fish or omelet by adding a little curry powder; a suspicion of thyme won't hurt either.

The newest refrigerators have a compartment for storing eggs because eggs stay freshest when they are covered. You can oven-fry cut-up chicken, serving-size portions I of fish fillets, scallops and French toast. Dip the poultry or fish in bread crumbs and then sprinkle with melted butter before putting in the oven. The French toast should be prepared as usual, then ar- ranged on a well-buttered bak- ing sheet. every time you wash wHfcSauman GRAVE COVERS $3.00 OPIN DAILY AM I SUNDAY A.M.

Most say it's just as much fun to receive. And a small group say frankly they would rather get presents than give them. We uncovered this facet of teen-age character during a survey of 395 young people about their Christmas plans and preferences.

"Your guess is as good as mine on how much it differs from adult character. On the receiving side of the ledger, the thing most teen-agers want most for Christmas is clothing. After that, money and sporting equipment. On the giving side, the amount most of them will spend for gifts will range from $10 to $50. Most of them plan to earn or save it, and only about 1 in 4 will use their own creative talents to make gifts.

Most of them will spend the largest amount of money on a gift for mother, while father runs second. And most like Christmas just the way it is celebrated today. Teen-age girls apparently ire more generous than teen-age boys. Forty-three per cent of the girls say they get more of a kick out of giving than receiving, while only 21 pot cent of the boys overall total of 32 per cent. Girls, Especially, Want Clothes Forty-eight per cent of the youngsters 44 per cent of the boys and 52 per cent of the giving and receiving carry equal weight with them.

Sixteen per cent in every'four boys, but only one in every 20 say they would rather get presents than give them. "Other people say 'it's better to give'," says 14-year-old Richard Berger of Brooklyn, N. "so I receive." At the other end of the string is Judith Spencer, 19, of Gettysburg, who says, "I get a good feeling giving things." And in the middle, 16-year- MOM COMES FIRST old Susan Williams of ham, "I love to buy presents, but I also love surprises." There is a wide range of things that the youngsters would like to receive for Christmas. "I would like some bongo drums just to goof-off with," says Diana Halverson, 16, of Ogden, Utah, by way of being a case in point. But 62 per fourths of the girls and about half the they want clothing most of all.

"I am going away to college next year," says Betsey H. Rowe, 17, of Hingham, in explaining a common reason for preferring clothing. Spending Down Teen-age plans for Christmas spending are down this year. per they will spend from $10 to $20 on gifts. Fifteen per cent will spend from $20 to $30, 14 per cent from $30 to $40, and 10 per cent from $40 to $50.

Fifteen per cent will spend from $50 to $100, while only 2 per cent will go over $100. Thirteen per cent of the youngsters would also like money and the same number ask for sporting equipment. Also ranking high are books, musical instruments and games. In a survey last year, the largest group of gift-givers said they required $25 to $30 'lor their gifts. When it comes to financing the shopping venture, 59 per cent say they will earn at least part of their money.

Thirty- eight per cent will get it from their parents. Sixty per cent of the youngsters say they will spend the biggest amount on their mother, while 47 per cent indicate that father will get the most expensive gift. After that, It dips sharply: brother 18 per cent, sister 16 per cent, boy or girl friend 11 per cent. But William Weatherstar, 15, of Ogden, Utah, says he doesn't know. "These things aren't measured by dollars," he says.

Finally, we asked the youngsters if they would celebrate Christmas differently when they grow up. Nine per cent didn't know, but 73 per cent said they like it just as it is. The remaining 18 per cent would make changes. Larry Peer, 18, of Ogden, Utah, says he would like "more outings before, and more singing during, Christmas." And Wayne M. Keith, 19, of Rochester, N.

says his adult Christmas "will be a closer family gathering." But Betsey Rowe expresses the majority view, when she says: "I feel that the way our family celebrates this occasion is the way it was'In- tended to be when Christ was born." Student Nurses Entertaining And Being Entertained Students of Alton Memorial Hospital School of Nursing are entertaining and being entertained during the pre-Christmas season. The student government of the school of nursing gave a tea Tuesday afternoon from 2-4 o'clock for faculty, administration, students and White Cross Auxiliary members in Mary Hall. The tea table was centered with an ornamental Christmas tree and candelabra. Pouring were housemothers at Mary and Martha halls, Mrs. Stella Bockhorst and Mrs.

Lucy Lee Moore. That evening, at 6 o'clock, the faculty entertained the students with a Christmas dinner in the hospital dining room. This event was the first of its kind given at the hospital. Tables were lighted by candles and decorated with ever- green boughs. White Cross Auxiliary members will be hosts to a party this evening for student nurses in the recreation room of Mary Hall.

Friday evening the students will hold open house in the nurses' homes from 7:30 until 10 o'clock. The homes are decorated for Christmas and will be by Miss Virginia Roach. Mrs. Jack Watkins, and Dr. Daniel Platt.

At this party a gift will 'be presented to the students from the medical staff of the hospital. On Monday students will have a brother and sister parry where gifts will be exchanged. Mind Your Manners One yard cluttered, with junk or over-grown with weeds can ruin the looks of a whole neighborhood. Cooking Cues You need a teaspoon of salt for each quart of water when you are boiling vegetables. Fresh flavor: Make a gelatin mold of grapefruit juice and add a little mint.

Use brown sugar, rather than white, when you are broiling grapefruit halves if you want a pleasant change of flavor. If dates get dry, put them In a covered colander or strainer and steam over hot water for about five minutes. When you are spit-roasting poultry, tie wings and legs close to the bird so it is compact. To remove shell and brown skin from chestnuts, gash the nuts and boil about 15 minutes in water to cover.
