DEAR a plastic windshield scraper in your kitchen drawer. Use it for cleaning flour from the pastry board or for many other kitchen scraping DEAR Pointer will save most women some embarrassment.

Many women's dresses have long loops of tape to keep them from slipping from coat hangers. Consequently, when wearing a sleeveless or short sleeved dress, these tapes may show around the neckline or armholes. I sew a hook somewhere in the lining of the dress or in a seam. When the dress is put on, I anchor the loops of tape to the hook. In this way I am sure they will not show and I still have the tape to help hold the dress on its DEAR polishing my children 's white shoes, I let them dry and tlien go over each shoe with a piece of waxed paper.

The wax seems to coat the polish and leaves a nice shine. This also protects my clothes from polish that often smears off.

She kept a scrapbook of great men with sections marked Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt and so on. Eac hyear she would cut out things that were in the paper about these prominent people at the time of their birthdays, anniversaries, and so on. Even things heard on radio were jotted down. She did this for many years.

THE OLD WEST TUCSON, Ariz. UP) sign on a lonely Arizona highway announces: "Indian Wai' Surplus." Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: My husband Is a clergyman. He is 'oung, lhandsome, warm-hearted and understanding. He is constantly being called upon to help poor frustrated women work out marital problems. My problem: How do I handle love-starved women who transfer their affections to my husband? Women who feel that he can fill the need in their lives for affection and understanding.

He never visits women in their homes unless their husbands are present. But some women stop him on the street, come to his office and even to his home. Everywhere I go, I hear how "lucky" I am to be married to such a wonderful man. What can I do? PARSON'S WIFE DEAR Are you bragging or complaining? I once knew a clergj-man who was all the things your was. Many women attempted to transfer their affections to him, but he was a past master at rerouting them.

He told them in his most ministerial tone that they should emulate Benjamin Franklin, and go fly a kite. DEAR ABBY: I dialed a wrong number by mistake and this man who answered had such a nice, friendly voice I talked to him foi' about an hour. He said he was 33 and not maiTied. He also told me lots of other inteersting things about himself. He's been in the service and has been practically all over the world.

Toward the end he even got a little romantic and said he would like to meet me in person. I am only 17 but I look much older. I didn't give him my telephone number but I told him my name. He gave me his phone number and his first name but not his last. Should I call him? I would really like to meet him.

"TELEPHONE SWEETHEART" DEAR SWEETHEART: This man sounds as though he would make a lovely stranger. Keep It that way. Anonymous telephone trjsts are shabby and dangerous. Unless you want to live shabbily and dangerously, forget you ever heard his voice. DEAR ABBY: Why does my wife always take the kids' side against me? I told our older boy he couldn 't have the car because he failed two subjects.

The very next day my wife gave him pel-mission to take the car. She said she wanted him to do some "errands" for her, but he kept the car all day and didn't get back with it until midnight. This morning I told our 16- year-old daughter she could not go to her girl friend's slumber party because at the last one the police were called to pull the boys off the side of the house. Well, my wife told her she could go! It looks like my wife is trying to cut me down in front of the kids just to be ugly. I would like your opinion on this.

DAILY READER DEAR READER: No wonder so many children are confused about what's "right" and what's "wrong." Parents should NEVER fight in front of their childern, even if one must give In knowing he's rljfht. It's the responsibility' of parents to make the "rules" for theh' children to follow, and to support each other in enforcing those rules. You and your wUe need to iron out your own differences. She is probably punishing you for something that has nothing to do with the children. DEAR ABBY: Is it still "in style" for a young man to ask the father of a young lady for her hand in marriage, or isn't that done any more? Our children, who are 19 and 21, tell us that this is "corny" and we are old-fashioned to expect it.

We would like you ropinion. OLD FASHIONED PARENTS DEAR PARENTS: It may be "corny" but there's kernel of good manners there. It is usually a friendly visit in which the young man tells the girl's father how he intends to for her. It's only a formality, however. When a fellow asks fo ra lady's "hand," he usually has both feet in the door.

A home economist who is an expert in home management claims the so-called labor saving devices that are supposed to cut the housewife's work actually make work for her. With a washing machine, she washes more often; with a dishwasher she washes more dishes, and so on.

Well, it's true that these devices have encouraged us to raise our homemaking standards. Clean clothes for every member of the family once or twice a day. Weekly, instead of twice-a-year house-cleaning. More frequent entertaining and larger parties. And so on.

But with all that, we do have It easy today, compared with the way homemakers worked BLSD before laborsaving devices. What housewife wouldn't rather wash and iron every day, with aid of her appliances, than bend over a scubboard once a week and iron wath flat irons heated over a wood-burning stove? What housewife wouldn't rather go over the whole house with a vacuum cleaner, no matter how often, than tackle the job less frequently with nothing but mop, broom, scrub brush and elbow grease? What housewife wouldn't rather prepare a buffet supper for 30 with the aid of an automatic stove, a freezer, a gadget to grind up garbage, and an electric dishwasher, than to have a dinner for a few without any of these mechanical helpers? Let's not kid ourselves. We may keep busy, but we aren't beat by housework. Just consider how young we women look for our compared with women of the same age in the good, old, days of the washboard and the old oaken bucket. MR.
