Press and Sun-Bulletin from Binghamton, New York • 28

Truth Reveals 1 Miracle Dear( ABIGAIL VAN BUREN fee skimp far DEAR ABBY: Your advice works miracles. On June 2. the Philadelphia Bulletin ran the following item, datelined Toronto. Canada: "The tax department received a letter along with a tax return recently. 'I havent been able to sleep since cheating on my income the letter read.

'Am enclosing my check for $500. If still unable to sleep, will mail you the The following item appeared on the same day in the DEAR ABBY column in the Washington (D.C.) Star-News: "DEAR ABBY: I haven't been able to sleep Now. that's what I call action! A.C. ROBIDOfX DOVER. Del.

DEAR A Not really: The letter in my column was scheduled for re. lease on March 22. And that's when it ran in Toronto, DEAR ABBY: My husband has a big mouth. I've heard that he has been blabbing all around the warehouse where he works all kinds of personal things about his sex life. This is very embarrassing to me because I know all the guys who work there, and I can hardly look them in the eye knowing they know so much about me.

This is enough to make me want to pack up and leave him. Am I wrong? STELLA DEAR STELLA: Don't pack until you're sure he was talking about you. DEAR ABBY: My wife of 20 years has never shown me much affection. very well. You see.

I did a little creative bookkeeping on my income tax by way of Any suggestions? INSOMNIAC "DEAR IX: Send the Internal Revenue Scrvici' a check for S-jOO. And if you still can't sleep, send them the balance." The Evening Press rr on You may say: "All right, some people just aren't the affectionate type." but let me lay this on you. When she and her brother get together, you never saw so much hugging, kissing and pawing in your life. They can't keep their hands off each other. The other night they both sat squeezed together in one little loveseat.

and it was obvious that they had more than a sister-brother relationship going. I didn't make an issue of it because I didn't know how to. This is something completely outside my experience. Maybe divorce is the answer, but I don't want that. Please publish this with a workable solution as there must be other readers of your column with the same problem.

PUZZLED IN NEW ORLEANS DEAR PUZZLED: Don't jump to any conclusions. You could be wrong, and you probably are. Many Siblings are overly affectionate to each other, and they have nothing going except brotherly and sisterly love. Since your wife obviously is capable of responding to affection, initiate some, and see what happens. CONFIDENTIAL TO KAY: Take your time, and get to know him better.

When his true character "crops out." you may witness a crop failure. Problems? You'll feel better if you get it oft your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY in care of The Press. Enclose stamped, sell-addressed envelope, please. Steak lovers know all about our steaks.

"So I compromise by putting slits in front, or buttons on the side that can be left open as far up as they like.

Or I do hems that reach to the knee in front and swoop to the top of the calf in back." She's among the designers who are into longer lengths because they believe change is an integral part of keeping fashion fresh. Women who want a fresh took for late summer into fall will find it's easy to put one together with a longer skirt (the range of reasonably $40). Bias-cut flares and gored or A-line. styles in solid gabardine or wool or rayon challis in floral or geomatric prints on dark backgrounds can give a new look to most of the tops you already own. Put a jersey T-shirt over the skirt with a belt or sash, or wear one with a soft blouse or Russian peasant shirt.

When the weather gets chil- lier, wear a sweater set with a dirndl skirt in corduroy or a velvet blazer with a flared or A-line skirt in tweed, velvet or crepe de chine. Velvet is in for daytime wear this fall. All the beer you can drink. Binghamton-4477 Vestal Parkway-798-71 88 Syracuse-3220 Erie Boulevard East-445-1652 By BARBARA VARRO Chicago SonTimel Longer skirts are still caus-; ing controversy. While women who yearn for a change view.

them as an easy means to an instant new look, there are others who think they're part of a fashion-industry con- spiracy to coerce them into spending more money. True, many retailers, are banking on the new skirt with longer hemlines (anywhere from the knee to the calf area) to boost business that hasn't been exactly rosy during the last year. They're hop- ing skirts will touch off a major sales boom like pants did a couple of years ago. So far. acceptance of longer I hemlines has been spotty.

Midcalf is still a dirty word to many women except avant-garde types. Most of the over-25 set prefer hems at the knee or perhaps an inch or two below it. But it hasn't been easy, to get those under 25 out of pants or to convince them that they look like yesterday's leftovers in miniskirts.
