SECTION B- -PAGE TWO ALEXANDRIA DAILY TOWN TALK, ALEXANDRIA-PINEVILLE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1967 'Pour Vous' New Furniture Style Appeals to All Ages The culture of France's Louis XVI is the inspirational source for a collection being shown by a leading furniture manufacturer. The collection, called "Pous Vous," faithfully preserves the elegantly simple lines preferred by this Bourbon monarch. It reflects a style which encouraged physical comfort equally with aesthetic values. In the 26 bedroom pieces which comprise the line, Designer Sanford Wallack has achieved a styling "agelessness," whose appeal carries equal authority to the pre-teen ager, the "high teen" with sophisticated taste or even sufficient variety of pieces to the more grown up. designed for the bedroom to Some of the appeal is gratify just about any reasongenerated by the finish, a able desire: there i is a double brushed white with glazing for as well as a triple dresser; a customized antique look.

Both chests can be teamed with hutches: one choice of hutch has four open shelves; another has both open shelves and two grill-fronted doors. A tiny commode, with two drawers, measuring 24 by 16 by 25 inches, can be mated with a curio hutch, the latter 45 inches high, with four open shelves. Canopied Corner Another piece has been specifically designed to give height and interest to a room furnished with two studio beds: the beds, placed at right angles, can be "capped" in the corner where they abut with a canopy. Under the canopy, a night stand can be used as an end table for both beds, or a as a storage place for trinkets. Novel but smart and useful pieces abound in the collection.

There is one arrangement, suggested for the one-room apartment or combination study bedroom for a teen: ager that provides all the essentials of living with a bachelor chest, studio desk with drop leaf, that can be used for dining as well as in its conventional role, and a studio bed with a concealed storage area. Then, there is a footboard bench with one drawer, which can be used either hooked on at the foot of a bed, which can be used also without the canopy frame. The variety of desks fits almost every conceivable need. There is a drop-leaf desk, which provides ample work surface, and has a drawer which opens from either side; another desk, this one called a "corner" desk, is so angled as to give far more than the average working surface. Of interest, too, is a vanity, with one shallow and two deep drawers.

A side chair, with slip seat, has been styled for both vanity and desks. The fabric has been Scotchgarded. woman who was bemoaning the fact that she was overendowed.

Surveys don't help the unfortunate girl who can't wear sweaters or scoop neck dresses or clingy fabrics and is called by nicknames you couldn't print in your column.

Mr. and Mrs. Weeks enter- The surgeon merely removes the excess fatty tissue and the woman emerges with normal measurements. So many problems are insoluble. When one comes along that can be solved, I should think you'd be happy to pass the word.

BEEN THERE Dear B.T.: You are right. The surgery you describe has helped many women. I was aware of the procedure and I should have suggested it. My apologies to all whose cups runneth over. Dear Ann Landers: The letter from Wabash Blues is very much like my story.

I also married a divorced man whose wife had walked out and left a little boy nearly three years old. If Wabash thinks she's a nervous wreck now, tell her to wait a few years. My husband always took the boy's part against teachers, neighbors, me anyone who criticized him. He never saw anything wrong with Denny. When we began to get calls from the juvenile authorities, I took the boy for counseling.

Three different counselors said the same thing, "There is nothing wrong with the child. It is his dad. He is ruining the boy by giving in to him, fighting his battles and making excuses for him." I tried to get my husband to see what he was doing but he accused me of being jealous of the child, so I gave up. Today Deny is in prison. He starts the second year of a five-year term in December.

The boy is only 17 and his life is already ruined. Please keep hammering away at foolish parents who think they are being good to their kids when they let them have whatever they want.

Since his father's death two years ago, his mother is at him all the time for neglecting her. Though we spend as much time with her as we can, it is never enough. As soon as the time comes to say goodby, she starts to complain about how lonely she'll be till he sees her again. He is so upset. after seeing her he can't sleep.

Mrs. Lawrence, he is a good soon but she's out to make him feel like a bad one ANSWER: Then he'd better decide to be a bad one, because the only way of shutting off her flow of criticism is cheerful agreement with it. Accusing people like her feel themselves to be quite worthless. So they've got to make us feel worthless, too. That's what makes it a waste of time to even try to defend ourselves against their fault-finding.

The fact is, the more nervously we try to defend ourselves, the happier they are. For our nervous self-defense, they read our desire for their approval of us as good, right and generally virtuous creatures. But if we cheerfully agree that we are as bad and wrong as they say we are, their accusations fall flat. I know that such cheerful agreement with a critical relative can turn off the flow of reproaches because I've used it myself to do it. The relative was not my mother but a sister of hers.

For this aunt I could do nothing right. I could utter no wasn't instantly contradicted. And tors some time I tried i to deal with this accuser by "explaining" how good had been my intentions and how I merited her moral approval. Then, one day, when I'd been told how bad and wrong was something I'd done, I said, "You are undoubtedly correct. I do everything wrong.

What's more, I am going to continue to. So now let's settle for me as an unregenerate person whom you cannot improve." That ended the criticism. It replaced my accuser's desire to make me feel worthless with fear of me as a moral stranger. And that is the point, you see. So long as these compulsive critics of ours are sure that we share their standards of rightness and goodness, they can terrorize us with accusations of how badly we've failed to live up to them.

Indeed, they derive their whole power from the fact that we share their moral notions. Bank Personal Loans help us in many ways! And YOU?
