ttge6C-PUYCRQUND DAILY NEWS, Friday Morning, 1 Daughter Lured into May-Dec. Romance By Abigail Van Buren 11" br OTujo dm DEAR ABBY: I am a widow who 13 trying to pave the road smoothly for my 19-year-old daughter. She is very pretty, and I have never had any trouble with her until now. It seems that she has a crush on a tall, handsome, 44-year-old salesman who drinks rather heavily, lives an hour's drive from here and has stood her up on five dates already. He always had an excuse the day after, but never let her know while she sat all dressed up waiting for him.

I feel that he is wrong for her, but I can't seem to get that idea through her head. She could date others, closer to her age, who live nearer to her, but she waits faithfully for this long-distance Romeo. Can you help me? PUZZLED MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: Seldom does a 19-year-old girl listen to her mother In such matters. If it hasn't occurred to your daughter that this is married-it should, If she's wise, she'll End out more about him. He sounds like a bad apple, but don't knock him.

It will only cause her to come to his defense, DEAR ABBY: I never thought I'd be writing a Dear Abby letter, but I want to spe ak out in defense of PIANO LESSON HATER, to whom you said, "I've had thousands of people tell me they were sorry they quit piano, but not one ever said he was glad he quit." Well, now you can retract that statement, Abby. My mother was a piano teacher, and she made me practice an hour every day from the time I was 8 until I was 15. (I'm a boy.) I never was very good at piano, and 1 hated it. I finally talked her into letting me quit to take guitar lessons. I worked at every odd job I could get to buy a guitar and pay for my own lessons--that's how much I wanted to learn.

And nobody had to force me to practice, either. I suppose I should thank my mom for having exposed me to music in the first plnce, but music should be drudgery. And when a kid gels to a certain age, I think he should be allowed to select his own instrument and his own kind of music. What do you think? HATED PIANO-LOVES GUITAR DEAR HATED: I agree, there comes a time when parents should allow their children to pursue their own interests and develop their own talents, but few 8 year olds are ready for that. Don't fault mothers for "forcing" their children to take piano lessons.

It's the standard instrument that offers an excellent foundation for all musical instruments. DEAR ABBY: My husband refuses to do anything for himself. He refuses to clean up after himself or hang up his clothes. Asking him to do anything around the yard is like talking to a stone wall. He won't even put gas in the car.

I have to balance the checkbook for both of us and even shine- his shoes. If I complain, he tells me that's what he got married for--so he wouldn't have to do any of these things for himself. We are both 27 and college graduates with master's degrees. Any D. IN RIVERSIDE DEAR How spoiled is he? If this hu bwn going on for years, he may be beyond repair.

If this Is new wrinkle, iron it with counseling. Both of you. For Abby's booklet, "How to Hive a Lovely Wedding," send In Abinnil Van Buren, 132 Usky Beverly HlUi. Calif. 90212.

(UP1) Patrolman Robert Logan says he was right in giving Elvis Presley and two friends traffic citations despite a city judge's dismissal of the tickets. "Everyone should be treated equally," Logan said about City Judge Joseph Mc- Carlie's dismissal of citations against Presley, girlfriend Linda Thompson and friend Joe Esposito for driving three- wheeled vehicles without helmets or licenses. "What I did was right," said Logan, who stopped the 40-year- old singer and his friends Wednesday.

"I didn't know who they were when I pulled them over. All 1 knew was they didn't have on helmets or face shields." Aside from the lack of helmets required of molorcy- clists by Tennessee law, Logan said the vehicles had no license plates and only Presley had a driver's license, which was not marked "motorcycle operator," with him.
