C-2 Wednesday, Juna 11, 1980THE COURIER-NEWS How women dress with intimidation in mind tmi By ERMA BOM BECK More wax Syndicated Columnist was never one of my for making it big in the priorities. corporate world are some- When you write from a what limited no matter Dressing for success utility room, your chances what you wear. I sail into a room with one of those organizer handbags that has a pocket for everything, and everything for a pocket. Oh, I had one once, but I stored discarded nose tissue under credit cards; safety pins under passport; pizza coupons under calculator and a broken watch under address bock. Do you know what I'd give to walk into a room What I'm really "into" is how to dress for intimidation.

I'm not just talking about luncheons where the deafening sound of ultra-suede rubbing together makes conversation impossible; I'm talking about little tricks women employ to make you feel inadequate. One of these days I'm going to have a charm bracelet that sounds like an anvil every time I hoist my glass. Embarrassed by the clatter, I will hastily explain, "I told my husband a typewriter charm with 44 diamonds on each key was too much, but he insisted. And of course my six grandchildren, Robin, Ricky, Renee, Rush, Richie and Rothmoor had to be immortalized in gold!" I dream of the day when WEIdHT WATCHER The gift went bad I received a 17-jewel (old Tlmex watch at a Chriitmai gift from my employer and sent back the warranty two da)i later. The watch itopped working In February and the Jeweler I took it to advised that I tend It to Tlmex to I tent It back lo tbe plastic box In which It arrived.

Tlmex sent me a bill which wai later-dropped when I explained about the warranty. Unfortunately, it looks like they also dropped the watch. They tent it back in a cheap cardboard box which wasn't sturdy enough to withstand third-class mail treatment. My once-beautiful watch came back in three pieces and I can't find the band anywhere! I fear for my expensive watch if I lend it back. They might accuse me of tampering with it.

HELP! if there'i a way. Mi. E.L, Manvllle A There is. Just send it back to Timex at Little Rock, Ark. Timex has sent regrets about the damage and has sent you a shipping carton sturdy enough to survive the rigors of sending the watch back to them.

It'i about car wax that he tent for last April and never received. He wrote tbem about It and it coit another $1.40 but he still never got any wax. Maybe HELP! can do something for him.

Spread it on the moss, wait a few' days and then spray it with water from a garden hose. It should disintegrate. Weather, however, could become a factor. If it rains too soon after you apply lime, you will have to try again. But if it rains a few days after the lime goes down it may save you a hose job.

Of course, there's nothing that intimidates me more than to enter a room with a woman dressed completely in white. Talk about clothes making a statement! Everyone who crowds around her knows and respects her.

When her clothes talk, everyone listens. She is thumbing her nose at the world. Bring on your mustard oozing out of a sandwich, your dusty chairs, your friendly dogs, your long cigarette ashes, your clumsy waiters, your filled-to-the-brim coffee cups, your oil on the car door, your low-flying birds. And if she's wearing a hat that tears it. It doesn't matter if it's a large brim, a veil with an ostrich plume, a beach straw or a tennis cap with a visor.

I feel as practical as a woman who launders and hangs her zip-lock bags out to dry. But the real test of security is the tennis court. I sprung for the tennis dress, Chrissie Evert shoes, little socks with the ball fringe over the heel and a racket press, but the moment my opponent walks out wearing a sweatband it's all over. onion and Vi teaspoon of curry powder.
