A sunny day in early June. A brisk ran at sunrise. A pretty girl who smiles when I look her way. A short story by William Faulkner. None of these will pay the rent so I have to work which I hate, but I realize a person must be practical.

What I need to know is why should I kill myself to meet someone else's definition of success? To me. success is having enough money to prepare tomorrow's meal. Since I was old enough to talk I was told I was brilliant and would make a lot of money and have the world on a string. So here I am 23. netting S80 a week, but Ann Landers I'm genuinely happy and don't want for a thing.

My father (who has ulcers) is ashamed of me. My mother (her life is the beauty salon and clothes) thinks I'm a disgrace. I respect your opinion and would appreciate your opinion of my lifestyle. Am I wrong? Are they right? City Garden Plans Are Source Of Enjoyment Sixth Anniversary Mr. and Mrs.

BECKLEY PLAZA MALL 252-1078 Where do you stand? Jerry In Yonkers Dear Jerry: The most revealing part of your letter can be found in four words, "work which I hate." Why does a smart guy like you hate work? Don't you realize money is only one of the benefits of labor? If you hate your job and view it as something you must do so you can cat the next day, you are wasting your time and probably ripping off your employer. This country wasn't built by men who wanted nothing more out of life than a can of beer, a tank full of gas and a story by Faulkner. And It's a good thing, because if everyone thought as you do we'd still be living in caves. There would be no progress in the sciences or the arts or in any of the areas that separate us from primitive people. As a person who has worked very hard for many years (and I didn't need the money) I can tell you, my young friend, that work can be tremendously rewarding and wonderful fun.

My idea of hell would be a life of leisure. The happiest people I know are the busiest. The most miserable are the idle rich. I'm sorry about your dad's ulcers but I'll bet your relationship with him has a lot to do with why you hate work. Anything HE likes, you probably hate.

Too had you didn't get that problem resolved earlier. Since you are only 23, it's not too late. Dear Ann Landers: Recently the Idaho Statesman carried your column about venereal disease. The quiz was beneficial to a large number of readers but it ignored the gays completely. Your personal viewpoint of the gays is well known, yet we do exist and have a right to know how VD affects us.

Gay And Clean Dear G. And Since you young gays are generally more active sexually than heterosexuals, the only additional advice I have for you is to get a complete physical checkup at least once every six months and don't hesitate to reveal the names of your contacts should you become infected. This isn't finking. It's a public service. Dear Ann: To look at me, you'd never guess I have two teenage children.

I have no gray hairs, no wrinkles and no excess baggage. A few months ago, I became fascinated by an art dealer whose studio is near our apartment. I am not the type to sneak around, so I told my husband even-thing. I didn't want a divorce or a separation, only his patience and understanding until'the tornado blew itself out. Being broadminded and intelligent, he agreed to stand by.

He treated me beautifully and he put up the usual front of the happily married couple. In less than three months, the affair was over. I love my husband more than ever for his maturity and wisdom. He is thrilled to have me "back on a full time basis. No one was hurt and I learned, in the best way possible, there's no place like home.

We are closer than ever and I'll never look at another man again. Everyone profited. Please agree in print. I'll feel better. Jezebel Dear Jez: If you're looking for a good conduct medal, Buttercup, you came to the wrong place.

Consider yourself lucky your husband didn't broom you out when you told him about the "tornado." Just because he didn't throw himself on the floor and chew the carpet doesn't mean he wasn't deeply hurt. And while you're counting your blessings, include a prayer of thanks that your children didn't hear the gossip. You were shot full of luck all the way 'round.
