ANSWERS YOUR PROBLEMS DEAR ANN LANDERS: It of your readers are unhappy because they are stuck with hideous name dreamed up by a mother who read a lot or a father who didn't read at all, please tell them they are suffering needlessly. My mother named me Serenity. My sisters were named Be- autitude and Tranquility. Our poor brother was named Fortitude. We hated our names but we went through school with them just the same.

A few weeks ago I met a boy I liked very much. He said his name was Dick. After several hours of conversation he admitted that his real name was Shirley but he changed it when he was 15 because the teachers kept looking, for a girl. I asked him how he went about chahg ing'his name. He said.

"Simple I just stopped using Shirley am started to use Dick." I asked if he had to take any legal steps and he said "No. In Illinois person can use any name he wants to if he isn't using it for illegal purposes," I wish my brother and sisters and I had known this ten years ago. Let your readers in on Serenity Now Linda. DEAR LINDA: in most state: you can go from Shirley to Dick or Serenity to Linda without any legal procedure, i suggest a cal to City Hall, however, to make certain the law in your state is the same. Hints From Heloise DEAR FOLKS: Anyone who has a hungry teenager in the family will appreciate this time- saver.

You know those little Vienna sausages that come in a can? Well, try just ripping off the top, pouring out the juice and eating it right out of the can with a fork! My teenage daughter likes to pour dripping mustard over day, hers. I like mine plain or maybe with a little catsup. Give 'em a few crackers and they've got it made. Whoopee, TO dishes to wash.

With all the stretch clothes to- ay, more and more of us have mending that needs to be stretched while sewing. And now you have given us the answer. DEAR HELOISE: Here's a lip for anyone who is slightly spray-paint happy. When you have to paint light switch plates, put the screws through a shift cardboard and Spray away. It won't clog the threads of the and you don't end up with painted fingers.

Aid the result is screws to match the plate itself. --Mrs. C. Henry Flemer DEAR FOLKS: You know those glass pie plates? Well, 1 just discovered that most of them will fit on top of nearly any pot or pan we cook dumplings in! Removing the lid to test the dumplings (and if you use the same recipe ten straight times It never comes out the same) is what causes them to "fall" get soggy. If you use that glass pie plate as a lid you can see how they have risen and just what they're doing.

Heloise DEAR HELOISE: This morn- Ing I was sitting at my kitchen table getting ready to mend a pair of my daughter's stretch pants. The stitching had pulled out from pari of the waistband and since both the material -and' the band were elastic, I had to stretch it while sewing it by band.

By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN In the hit Broadway play.

"Forty Carats," the point is made that a woman's age is not in years but in carats, like those of a fine diamond. AND, 40 carats is quite a jewel! The star of the play is a wonderful example of this delightful thought because Julie Harris, slim and saucy at 43, has the charm of mature sophistication and the youthful apear- ance of a girl. Miss Harris is a veteran of a string of memorable plays that have brought her much acclaim. One of her most famous roles, that of Victoria Regina, was rerun on TV on May 2nd. It seems a pity to put any wrinkles on this bouncy star, even for illusion's sake.

In reality she looks too young to play her own age. Hilarious hut Moving "Forty Carats" is the breezy Etory of a teen-age daughter and her mother, a 40 year- old, who is falling in love with a 22-year-old youth, who adores her. It is hilarious all through but also has its i moments. It emphasizes the fact that a woman's age depends on individual qualities rather than on the number of years she has lived. Julie says, "Acting takes a Jot out of me but I still pay attention to calories, most of the time, that is.

I've got juice, borscht and plain yogurt in the refrigerator so that I can go wild with a once in a while." Although she weighs only 102 pounds and must drink rnalteds for the spurt of enegery acting requires, she believes it Is better to do preventive calorie counting than to have to reduce in a hurry. Diet mar- garines, diet cheese spreads and diet canned fruits help cut the calorie count and allow her room for 2Vi nice meals a day. Uses Slant Board To keep her trim figure toned, Julie often exercises on a slant board, which makes sit- ups harder. Following is one of her favorite exercises, taken from Yoga. Stand with feet together, spine straight, and slowly raise right leg and right arm behind you as high as you can, bending torso and raising left arm forward and balance.

Hold onto the back of a chair at first if necessary. Left arm should make a straight line from fingertips to right toe. Hold this to count of five and then swing arm and leg forward and up as high as pos sible. Do this five times and then opposite arm and leg. Jufc Harris says.

"This is a stretcher for all the muscles. It gives balance and grace, and it's fun to do. You feel like a ballet dancer. Gradually you can raise your leg higher and higher." Remember, it's the carats that count, not the years. To keep that youthful figure with a watchful eye on the calories, you may want your own automatic calorie counter.

Mrs. Lowman's new booklet, "Dial- A Figure," does it for you with just a flick of the wrist as you turn the wheel on the cover. The wheel shows you how much you should lose when pounds begin to add on and directs you to a section of the booklet to help you plan your diet. After losing a few pounds, dial again, and the wheel will direct you another section. To have your own "Dial A- Figure," send one dollar and your printed name and addnjss with your request to Josephine Lowman in earn of this newspaper.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a girl 14 who Is having a big misunderstanding with my mother. When I was about nine years old my mother bought me a bike, tl has been in the cellar for two years. I have a chance to sell the bike for $20. My mother says the $20 belongs to ehr because she bought the bike with her own money. I say the $20 to me because the bike was a birthday present.

I told Mom I would be happy to settle for half but she says I am not entitled to anything. I suggested writing to you and letting you decide. Mom said, "Write if you want to but I don't give a hoot what Ann Landers says. My mind is made up." I'd like to know your opm ion anyway. Scranton Scramble DEAR S.
