TRIBUNE Monday, March 8, 1971 Joan Kennedy Debuts As Pianist By AP Newsfeatures Actor-dancer Will B. Able demonstrates how his double-knit blazer moves with him, even when he's hick- ing higher than his head, as he does in the Broadway hit "Coco." The new double-breasted blazers stretch with the body, to offer new wearing comfort. Breaking the premium price barrier in double knits, the wrinkle-resistant jackets are being sold for approximately $50 at major retail chains and men's specialty shops from coast to coast, under retailers' own labels. The new blazers are fashioned from a 10'2 ounce, year-round polyester double i They sport moderately suppressed, shaped waist lines, 4'A-inch wide peaked lapels and high center vents.

Tailoring details also include flapped hacking pockets, color coordinated linings and brass buttons. The basic blazer design is available in four different patterns, and in blue, green and brown color groupings. Pencil stripe, candy stripe and muted plaid patterns give each blazer a totally different "look," appealing to men of widely varying tastes and appropriate for business and social wear. By BOB THOMAS Associated Press Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) The piano keys stuck and she couldn't read the cue cards, but otherwise Joan Kennedy's debut as a television performer appears to have been a success. At least that was the feeling at NBC, where the wife of Sen.

Edward Kennedy played piano and exchanged banter with Andy Williams and Henry Mancini on Williams' variety hour. The public can make its own decision when the taped program appears March 27. Before leaving for her Washington home, the blonde Mrs. Kennedy talked about the experience: "Of course I've done a lot of interviews and press conferences, but it has always concerned politics. This was the first time I've been involved in an entertainment show, and it was terribly confusing, but fun." Mrs.

Kennedy, who studied piano in college and has appeared as soloist with the Boston Symphony, said the whole thing was Williams' idea. He broached the subject when he and his family were skiing with the Edward Kennedy family as well as Ethel Kennedy and her children at Sun Valley last Christmas. senator's reaction? "Ted thought it was a wonderful idea. He likes me to keep up with the piano." Williams asked her to select a four- minute solo. She chose Debussy's First Arabesque.

She also accompanied Williams on the theme of "Love Story." "But just as we started the take, I discovered four of the keys stuck. So we had to wait until they took a smaller piano out of the orchestra." She finished her solo in one take, but required two for "Love Story." Handed her dialogue the day before taping, she complained she didn't have enough time to memorize. "Oh, you'll have cue cards," she was told.She was so confused by different colors on the cards--green letter for Williams, red for her--that she ad libbed her lines Although the Andy Williams show marked her debut as an entertainer, Plagued With Problems? Consult 'Dear Abby' DEAK ABBY: Do I have a legitimate complaint or not? The only time my wife will have anything to do with me is on a Thursday night, because Friday is the day she gets her hair done. Now Thursday nights are out because I belong to a bowling league which used to bowl every Wednesday, but they- changed it to Thursday, and 1 don't get home from bowling until after my wife is already asleep by then. I am not about to give up bowling, Abby, and I think a man is entitled to some affection at least once a week.

1 am missing out. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Don't sign my name or I will missout forever. CHEATED DEAR CHEATED: Ask your wife to change her beauty parlor day, (She's missing out, too!) Arranging a lime schedule for that which should be spontaneous is not exactly up my alley. DEAR ABBY: Mine is a verv touchy problem.

A very close friend of ours who worked with my hsband died after a long illness. During the illness, my husband gave him about a dozen books to read. One was especially cherished because it was personally inscribed by Irving Stone, the author. It has been over a year since our friend died and his widow has made no effort to return the books. Not wanting to give her anything more to worry about than she already had, I never mentioned it to her.

I know she's aware that the books have not yet been returned because she once remarked "I am so ashamed oj myself for not having returned those books yet." If the books could be replaced, we'd forget it, but most of them have been out of print long ago. Please advice. FAITHFUL READER DEAR READER: Telephone the widow and ask her when it would be convenient for you to bring her some cookies, or something else you have for her. And while you're there, remind her of the hooks she forgot to return. CONFIDENTIAL TO D.

D. 'Twas I who has said on more than one occasion that "love is a mental In a very real sense it is. Perhaps that explains why so many marriages fail. They were contracted while both parties were out of their minds. DEAR' ABBY: I had this real close girl friend 111 call Robin.

We were always together, having fun. We used to talk on the phone every night, until Bob came into the picture. Since then, things haven't been the' same between Robin and me. I hardly ever see her hi school because she meets Bob after every class and they walk together. After school Robin and Bob walk home together and I am left out in the cold.

If I call her on the phone at night, she will say she just finished talking to Bob and she can't talk to me because her parents don't want her on the phone any more for that night. Abby, I feel so alone. I used to think the world of Robin and I still do, and I would like things to be the same as they were before. So what can I do? DEPRESSED DEAR DEPRESSED: Face reality, hooey. If a "Bob" had come into life, yoa'd probably have led Robta oat in the coM.

That's the way the cookie crumbles, so don't blame Robin. And If yon want a fellow of your own (and what girl doesn't), cheer np, and pot a smile on your face. What's your problem? You'll feel better if you get it off your chest. Write to ABBY, Box 69700, Los Angeles, Cal. For a personal reply enclose stamped, addressed envelope.

Have you made plans to attend the picture-taking session in Kokomo Public Library Meeting Room A from 1-7 p.m. Wednesday? The session, as you know, is for the benefit of those officers whos pictures will appear in the upcoming Women's Club Section set for publication in late April.

To participate, club officers should appear in a group any time during the above hours on Wednesday, whenever it is most convenient for all participants to assemble. Two representatives of the Women's Department will be on hand to assist with (he pictures, which will be taken by a Tribune photographer. Since pictures with few persons posing are more effective than pictures with many persons posing, we advise using the top three officers in the club tor the picture. However, when absolutely necjssaty, we will use pictures with a maximum of five persons posing In the cases of Extension Homemakers Clubs, each group may have a picture taken of its president alone. Additionally, the Howard County EH Council may have a group picture of Its officers taken, and the collective material will then comprise a special feature in the section.

The same will be true of TOPS Clubs and also of PTA organizations, which customarily report in group fashion to the Women's Department. For further information regarding the picture-taking sessions, you may call The Tribute Women's Department. Joan Kennedy is no newcomer to TV.
