Be a best friend Tell Jane her house is filthy By Abigail Van Buren Chiuio Trlbuni-N. V. Inc. DEAR ABBY: I have this best friend I'll call Jane. She has been over here asking me what's wrong with her because she and her husband have been fighting a lot.

She says he hasn't been coming home for supper lately. He eats out and comes home at bedtime. I know one thing that is wrong, but I can't find the words to tell her. The minute you walk into Jane's house you smell this funny smell. It's like food decaying.

And that's probably what it is, because you never saw such a filthy house. You have to step over boxes and sacks to get from one room to the other. You can't sit ddwn anywhere because every chair and couch is covered with stuff-books, newspapers, boxes. Her dining table is loaded with more stuff, and so is her kitchen table. I noticed she served John his dinner every night on a tray in front of the TV because she's too lazy to clear off space on the table.

Anyway I think you get the picture. I just hate to hurt Jane's feelings, but I'd like to tell her to clean up her house and keep it that way and maybe John would feel like coming home more often. JANE'S BEST FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: A "best" friend should do the friendly thing and TELL Jane exactly what she thinks Is the matter. What are you waiting for? DEAR ABBY: A neighbor in my condominium complex recently suffered a heart attack, and within minutes after the police and ambulance arrived, a crowd gathered. Some of the onlookers interfered with the ambulance attendants so they could get a good look at the victim as he was being placed in the ambulance.

One man actually stopped the man's wife as she was getting into the ambulance with her husband, and asked: "What happened?" Lest you think I was part of that crowd, I viewed all this from my apartment window. How can people be so cruel and nosy? And then they attempt to excuse their action by saying they were "concerned." NOT NOSY IN LAUDERDALE DEAR NOT NOSY: Call it "morbid curiosity." There will always be people who chase lire trucks and ambulances and who take some perverse pleasure in witnessing the suffering of others. DEAR ABBY: Having always believed that it is customary for your future inlaws to suggest the manner in which they wish to be addressed, I waited, but nothing ever was 531 I've been married for two years, and I still have the problem of not knowing what to call my inlaws, and "hey, you," is not my style. I would feel awkward at this late date continuing to call them, "Mr. and Mrs.

did before I married their son. I cannot call them by their first names, as some of my friends address their inlaws. "Mother and Dad" is unnatural for me, as that is what I call my own parents. have told my husband to call them "Mom" and "Pop," which he does very Mv inlaws are both avid readers of your column, so perhaps if you print this, they will see it and my problem will be solved. For heaven's sake.

N0 NAML DEAR NO: For heaven's sake, why don't you come right oat and ask: "What would you like me to call you?" DEAR ABBY: Speaking of signs in offices of professional men, one of the best I've seen was in a medical doctor's office in San Diego. said: "Morticians dig smokers. You'll feel better you get It off yoor chest. For penHHul reply, writs to ABBY: No. 68760.

Page Three FASHIONETTES By United Press International The Fashion House of Norell believes in the small shoe look while many other stylists keep turning out those thick, thick soled numbers for both day and evening. David Evins did the shoes for the New York firm's fall and winter clothes collection.

For day, the models wore "little girl" looking footwear, almost flat-heeled pumps done in alligator calf, lizard, patent and suede with grosgram ribbon bow. For evening, bare sandals had skinny medium heels. Hut don't jump off the platform yet, advises the American Footwear Institute. "There's a lot of happy hoofing left there, especially for the young, who still have their hearts set on sole, the institute stylists report. The hat styles take off in assorted directions for fall and winter.

Among the leaders, however, are the mannish swagger felts, with creased crowns, and the knit toques or stocking caps. If you're a pearl girl, there arc new ways of wearing them with the coming seasons revival of the black short or long evening dress. Fasten one end to the shoulder with a jeweled pin, the other end of the strand (or strands) falling diagonally to the hipbone, and another fastener. Designer Donald Brooks showed a number of off-beat ways to wear pearls. Pleats are back on the fall scene.

So are circular skirts, after several seasons of the straight and narrow. SYN0-, INC. August 30 Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Almond, Hope, first child, boy, 9 pounds, 3 ounces.

A condition? An institution? An altruistic state of mind? Does it mean being constantly alert to the demands of others, constantly concerned about doing the thine" for children even at the cost ot one own convenience or one's own career perhaps? Isn't motherhood a woman's ultimate fulfillment? Angela Barron McBride, a professor of psychiatric nurs- ine a wife and mother of two daughters, provides a dilferent version of the mother role in "The Growth and Development of Mothers." Like those magic glasses on Sesame Street mat allow children to see what's making the noises they hear, this book makes one see what's causing those noisy doubts and disturbing contradictions about maternity.

Mrs McBride suggests that giving birth is not, or should not be'the end of growth, but rather the continuation of one growing up. Certainly if one has a child at 18 or even 35, there are discoveries to be made. And of course these discoveries especially about ourselves, are encouraged and intensitied by the constant presence of another human being moving from complete dependency to independence, a human who ooks to us for guidance, who is more honest than other adult humans when we disappoint his or her expectations, a human who imitates and in some cases has inherited our strong and weak points. But where in Benjamin Spock, Sigmund Freud, Hairn Ginott or any of the voluminous literature on child-rearing is it made clear that mothers also have development needs, that mothers have ambivalent feelings about themselves and their children, in short, that mothers are human beings? If mothers are human beings, how can the joys of motherhood be confined to the vicarious pleasure a female parent experiences through her children and Ihe very notion of females as being instinctively more self-sacni icing more vegetable or animal-like, at best more emotional and altruistic than male parents, is part oi what Mrs. McUncle calls the Motherhood Mystique.

This mystique is not simply a malicious enslaving device created by oppressive males, although it has served man needs and the political and economic interests ol a male- dominated society. "For me." says Mrs. McBride. "the problem is not so much that mother is seen as a headless pair ot breasts or a castrated half-person who has the responsibility tor cleaning and toilet training, but that she has come to represent man projection of the ideal man's hope that can do what he knows he cannot do. Why not replace this mythical creature uho is supposed to provide perfect love and nurturing with a tlesh uiut blood woman with the kind of normal occasionally behavior that all men and women have' Why not detine iemale parent as a person who experiences highs and joy and rage rather than the bland pastel ul constant gooi.l cheer, a person who is striving to be 'but by no means always succeeds in being i sensitive to the needs ol I.lie r.c.U generation, protective, and respecltul ot her childreiis Then someone car, hope W.
