Joseph Aul has sent me another letter. She writes: "I'm sorry I look so long to write you again. Thanks so much for your column and the, many recipes you sent me- during the Christmas season 'for anise cookies. I am sending you two which you may not have. I think they would be good anytime.

Both are good. I hope you like them. We are really having a winter here year. The snow is piling up on the sides of the roads. We try to help feed Ihe rabbits and the birds.

I haven't seen any strange birds this year. Rabbit tracks are everywhere. Our weather has been very cold. 11 was recently eight below. 1 suppose we will be glad when spring comes." Thank you for your letter, Mrs.

Aul, and for the recipes you sent me. They will all be in my column. We. too, have had lots of snow and too many days of zero or below zero weather to suit me. Cold weather with ice and snow keeps me homebound and then I'm not very happy.

I haven't seen many bunny tracks in my yard and like you, just the regular birds at the feeders. Maybe our luck- will change and we'll see those lovely evening grosbeaks at our feeders. Since we must feed our families, I'm using your recipe for anise cookies today.

Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: My daughter is very much in love with an older man.

He is very well- to-do and is known to everyone for his generosity and kindness. He has children by his deceased wife and is extremely considerate of them. He is constantly giving them expensive gifts. This man professes to love my daughter. lie calls her and sees her often.

He has told her thai she is the only person in the world he truly loves, yet he has never given her any kind of sift. Not even at Christmas time. (She gave'HTM a gift.) IUy daughter thinks lhal Ihis man can do no wrong, and she idolizes him anyway. I am apprehensive. What do you think? APPREHENSIVE MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: I think that you would not be nearly so "apprehensive" had this man given your daughter a costly "bauble" for Christmas.

Perhaps he declined to do so at this point because with his reputation for "generosity" he didn't want her to feel that he was "buying" her love. Since your daughter "idolizes" him anyway, don't be so quick to point out his clay feet. They may be gold. DEAR ABBY: Just a word to that molher who was lamenting the fact that her daughter was pregnant and unmarried. She agonized that she would never be able to hold her first grandchild in her arms.

Well, Abby, if that mother would just pull herself together and face facts, she COULD hold her first grandchild in her arms. She should welcome her daughter back, accept the child, and help bring it up, and help her daughter to make something of herself. May say that I will never hold a grandchild in MY arms, but not for the same reason as this lady. You see, my ONLY child is a homosexual. Tell that lady I would rather be in HER shoes any day.

She doesn't know what trouble 1S NAME WITHHELD DEAR NAME: If you would face your realistically, you may come to tht conclusion that whilt your lot hard tp accept it it not tht most tragic in tht world. Many homosexuals live useful, happy lives. It is possible that a mother who has lost her child in death could conceivably be happy to change shoes with you. DEAR ABBY: I have long been an admirer of yours, but I never thought I'd be writing to you. Perhaps I can help "Desperate." the middle-aged woman who felt that she was close to insanity because her husband was having an affair.

May I 'try? I know how she feels because I have been there. You have some good years left. Use Diem. If you have an education, use it. If you haven't, get one, and get il in something markclable and suitable for an older person.

Hospitals and social services arc begging for qualified help, and you don't have to be a cutie in a miniskirt to get a job either. Help people in mental institutions. Don't end up in one. Stiffen your backbone. Condition yourself not to care loo much about what your husband is doing, you can't do anything about il anyway.

But learn to care for something YOU can change. Yourself. Hale him if you must. Sometimes hate provides the push that love cannot. And while I have your ear, Abby, I want to tell you lhat you once gave "the best advice ever had: "If you act like a doormat, expect people to walk on you." Well, I was, and they did.

But not anymore. (sign me) "MAKING IT" CONFIDENTIAL TO "A READER IN ORMOND BEACH, Thank you for your intelligent though critical letter. You are riqhf. I was wrong. I appreciated your writing.
