Best of Abby No point to 'needling' gift giver DEAR ABBY: I have a relative (my husband's actualM who has never really liked me, but she put on a hypocritical show of friendliness whenever we meet, which is often, as we are a clannish family. She recently returned from Europe, bringing me a "gift." A set of 12 needlepoint canvases for my dining room chairs. (Seats and backs, totaling 24 pieces!) I mentioned some time ago that I was looking for some.

She said she had hunted all over Europe trying to find exactly what she thought would be perfect for my dining room. Abby, they are an absolute horror! lied my thanks, saying they were "lovely," but I cannot bear the thought of working them and having to live with them. I love to do needlepoint, but I don't want the.sc monstrosities in my dining room. How can I get out of making them STUCK IN QUEBEC DEAR STUCK: Put the canvases away for a while. At a later date, if you find something more to your liking, go ahead and work them.

After they are finished she may not even notice they aren't hers. If she does, explain that you found something yon liked better (True.) No point in needling her. DEAR ABBY: My husband died 4 years ago. He was a heavy drinker and habitual gambler, and our children knew their father for what he was. I worked all my married years to give our children the necessities.

(I had six all married now.) A year ago I married a good man who neither drinks nor gambles. He was divorced and walked out leaving his wife everything, so it was only common sense that he move into my home, which is completely furnished. One of my daughters is making me miserable. She resents my new husband. She never got along with her father when he was living, but now she says she can't stand to see another man living in her father's house, sleeping in her father's bed, and sitting in her father's chair.

Abby, my new husband treats me better than I've ever been treated in my life, and I think I'm lucky to have him. Why should we go into debt to refurnish the house so my daughter won't keep making these nasty remarks? I can't take it anymore. What should I do? MRS. A. DEAR MRS.

Tell your By Abigail Van Btuen daughter that If she can't stand to see another man using the same furniture formerly used by her father, she should spare herself the agony and stay away. DEAR ABBY: After 12 years of marriage and two children, I learned that my husband had a girl friend. She's a divorcee, and nothing special by anybody's standards. He admitted that it has been going on for two years. Abby, we had a good marriage and a good sex life, so that wasn't it.

I divorced him, loving him and hating him at the same time. Our divorce has been final for over a year, and he has not married the other woman. What's stopping him? He's free now. My question: Why would a married man fool around and risk losing a wife who loved him, and children who idolized him, and then not jump at the chance to marry the woman who caused it all? NO NAME DEAR NO NAME: Probably because he didn't ever really want her for a steady diet. Only an appetizer.

Some married men are fascinated with "playing house." They enjoy dreaming, planning, and verbalizing with somebody else, secure In the knowledge that it will never materialize, since they're safely married. But when circumstances change, and the fantasies become a reality, "dream" suddenly loses its appeal. ir DEAR ABBY: I have a friend who is going to marry a man who has some Negro blood in him. One of his grandparents was a Negro.) I have seen him and his color is not very dark. My friend is very blonde, being of Swedish and German descent.

She claims their children will be no darker than her husband. I say there is always a chance of a throwback to one of his darker ancestors and she coukl have a coal-black baby. I know I'm right, but she's the type you can't tell anything to, so please put your answer in the paper so I can show it to her. HER FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: I hope you will show this to her even tho you're wrong, because you arc. When two individuals marry, only if there is Negro ancestry on BOTH sides, is the kind of "Throwback" you describe possible.

This rule is: A child will be no darker than his darkest parent. DEAR ABBY: Last month my brother married a girl I'll call Yetta. I was one of six bridesmaids. Yetta picked out all the bridesmaids gowns without asking any of the bridesmaids about style or color. All she asked me was what size I wore.

I told her a 14. but my dress came in 12, and even with the seams let out it was so tight I couldn't sit down in it. Besides, it was green and I can't wear green. The bridesmaids hats were like baby bonnets, and I looked like a monkey with my short hair and that thing on my head. Now comes a bill for for my gown, Abby, I had nothing to do with selecting it.

I'll never wear it again, and I really did Yetta a favor by wearing it. Should I pay for it? I don't want a family fight, but I was under the impression that if the bride selected the gowns without consulting the bridesmaids, she should pay for them.

Abby, I know more about the facts of life and the course of nature than most kids, and I got it straight from my mother. She told me everything starting from the age of 8. I don't know how 1 got the reputation, but girls from 10 to 16 come to me for information about the pill and that sort.

Even boys come to me with questions. Should I answer their questions, or tell them to ask their mothers or what? "LITTLE ABBY" DEAR "LITTLE I don't know how you got the reputation of knowing so much, but it's not because you've kept it a secret. If a girl (between 1(1 and 16) asks a 13-year-old for information about "the pill and that sort," perhaps her mother should know she is seeking such information, so the best thing for you to do is to tell her to ask her mother. Your own mother appears to have pretty good sense, so ask her how much she thinks you should be telling the other kids. How has the world been treating you?

However, at the last minute, they decided to have a civil ceremony immediately in order to obtain joint assignments. Next month they will come home and have a church ceremony when they get their leaves. The pus- tor of our church said this is permissible and the dress van be as formal or as casual as they desire. I would appreciate your advice as to the type of attiru. reception, and is it proper to have a bridal party? If invitations are in order, how should they read? Mrs.

Phillips Dear Mrs. Phillips: The religions celebration of your daughter's marriage can be like a first wedding in every way, with one limitation. She should not wear a veil, since thai is the traditional symbol of virginity. She may wear while, which simply denotes purity. There is no reason to limit attendants, number of guests, or reception arrangements.

The invitations should read: Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the honour of your presence at the religious celebration of the marriage of their daughter Joan 2nd Lieutenant, U.S.A.K. to John Brown 1st Lieutenant, U.S.A.F. etc.

Dear Mrs. Post: 1 will be graduating from high school in June, and I have a big problem. I made Friends with one of the teachers there, and he has mentioned to me that he will be getting me a gold coin mounted on a necklace for my graduation present. Now the big question is, is it proper to get something for him when I leave? He will be leaving for a new school because of a promotion, so I thought it would be a sort of going-away present for both of us. What do you think? Jennifer Dear Jennifer; It's not really a big problem.

It would be perfectly appropriate for you to give a friend a congratulatory gift for his promotion, and it would also serve as a going-away present. Just don't make it too (tie clip, cuff links, etc.) a wallet, kcycase, etc. are the acceptable types of gifts. Dear Mrs. Post: In anticipation of having to write many thank-you notes for wedding gifts, could you please answer if it's ever correct to sign them with both husband and wife's names as "Mary and John" when actually mary is writing the note? I always thought whoever was writing the note should sign it in her, or his, name.

Marcia Dear Marcia; Notes and letters should be signed by the person who writes them. Even though a wedding gift is intended for both bride and groom, it is sent or given tu the bride mid she is the who writes the ihunk-yuu notes.
