DEAR ABBY Grandmother Gets Role Of Villain By ABIGAIL VAN BUHEN DEAR ABBY: My grandson (111 tall him Jimmy) is a oki college student. A few weeks ago I noticed that a stage play was coming to town Uecause Jimmy had taken a role in that play in high school, I wrote him a note offering to treat him and a friend to two tickets. I asked him to let me know which performance he wanted to see so I could purchase the tickets and put them in the mail to him. Two weeks went by. I didn't hear one word from the boy.

Then his other grandmother told me that Jimmy was "pleased" with my offer, but was "too busy" to go. I told my son (Jimmy's father) that was hurt and displeased that his son didn't bother to give me that message personally, whereupon the father immediately took Jimmy's part, pointing out what a fine lad he "No chinking, no smoking, no dope I added, and no manners." Now I am the villain. Everyone is mad at me and I am mad at the boy. Your comments, please. THE VILLAIN DEAR VILLAIN: Yonr grandson should have personally acknowledged yonr offer with thanks, regrets, or whatever.

Bat since he failed to to so, yon ihwddn't ban attempted to pnnish him by reporting bis bad manners to his father. A 19 year old college student is old enough to take his own lamps. Next time, sock It to not his father. DEAR ABBY: Our son will be coming home from Vietnam soon after having completed four years there. He a good job waiting for him when he comes home, but we don't know exactly how much he will be earning a week.

We would like to have some idea as to how much room and board to charge him, keeping in mind that there is always beer and drinks ih the house which he likes, and will be helping himself to unless he has changed. Can you give us a suggestion? TEXARKANA DEAR TEXARKANA: I don't know what the going rate for room and board is where yon live. Meanwhile, what's your hurry? Would giving yonr returning G. I. son a "break" break you? DEAR ABBY: I've been tempted to write to you many times, but now I can't resist.

When 1 read the letter from ''Can't Forget" who was still in love with her algebra teacher whom she hadn't seen for 13 years, I was shocked to learn there was someone else so much like myself. I was in love with a college classmate, but he married someone else. I also married and even after four years and a beautiful baby I still dreamed about this fellow. Whenever I saw a car like his, my heart would pound even tho he had left town years before and I knew it couldn't possibly be his. Then one day I saw a picture of him in the newspaper.

I nearly died. He was fat and bald and ugly. Needless to say, all my dreams vanished. All the psychologists in the world couldn't have done as much for me as that one picture. Now, every time I think of him, I count my blessings for not marrying him, and I kick myself mentally for wasting my dav dreams on him.

FINALLY FORGOT HIM DEAR FINALLY: If your "love" lasts only as long as your lover has his hair and boyish figure, it's a good thing you didn't marry your college dreamboat.

SPRING HILL Brunettes! Stopover bleaching your hair! It happens to be a fact. Brunettes who cover gray without lightening their hair color are probably over bleaching. You see, most shampoo in haircolorings (except the ones that wash out) have the same amount of peroxide in the brunette shades as they do in the bionding shades. So brunettes suffer the consequences. Thafs why TONI invented Magic It's the first permanent foam in hair color.
