Prairie. something DIFFERENT By MARY HAMEL It seems that nothing is immune from the curse of the designer's obvious label. Designers must have the biggest egos on earth today Nothing escapes their visible label, signature or initials. If you have a pair of. blue jeans without a designers "sign" somewhere, usually where you can't see but everyone else behind you can.

you are just not Even the larger chain stores have succumbed to the clever little signature fad. The ad for one is "See you later alligator, here comes the fox." It is catchy. One designer's products are all in the same kacki, red and dull green colors. That seems like a lack of imagination to me. As you look through the department stores vou have to wonder what they are going to find to put their marks on next.

The bathroom is full of initials. but they aren't the initials of the people using it. They are the designer's initials and he won't even visit the house. Sheets are either designed by a princess, as former Grace Kelly, a high fashion clothing designer or an entertainer. Can you picture Polly Bargen sitting at a designing table day in and day out only to have her sketches rejected? The last remarks to Gloria Vanderbilt made by the manufacturer would be, "Miss Vanderbilt.

I'm tired of your little Victorian designs. Everyone is tired of them. Get with the times." When a person gets dressed is it 'in' or "out to have, matching labels or can you mix a Bill Blass with a Pierre Cardin? Mix or match? Until got married my grandmother or my mother or I made many of my clothes. Mr. and Mrs.

Dears Abby 11 'Tired' ready for bed rest, not play By Abigail Van Buren 1980.by Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My husband has been reading up on the subject of sex, and he is of the opinion that it a woman doesn't enjoy sex right up to the grave. There must be something wrong with her. At age 50. and after 30 Years of marriage. I would like to forget about sex altogether.

Believe paid my dues. Where is it written that a woman should be ready and willing to perform every time her man beckons? I suspect that many (if not most) women get very little physical satisfaction out of sex; they just go motions because they want do something for the men they love. I can't believe that the only woman who feels this way. Please poll your readers. Abby.

And if they're honest. I think you will find that I am right. TIRED IN LINCOLN. NEB. DEAR TIRED: Now that we have become more enlightened and less inhibited about sex, a survey would probably turn up statistics as significant as the Kinsey Report of 1953.

I invite all women to send a postcard (or letter) to Abby, 132 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212, stating whether they agree (or disagree) with TIRED. You need not sign your name, only your age. I will deeply appreciate your participation. DEAR ABBY: You aren't going to believe this.

but maybe I'd better start at the beginning. My mother buys all her Christmas presents for the family at a discount store. Because the store doesn't deliver. Mom put out the word for all of us kids to stop by her house and pick up our Christmas presents. Well, it's no big deal to most of us.

but there is this one daughter-in-law (I'll call her Maria) who didn't get around to picking up the Christmas presents for her family until the middle of April' And when she got there tatter driving 22 miles). Mom said. "You're too late. I took everything back to the Now Maria isn't speaking to Mom. and the family is divided as to who is to blame for this falling out.

I volunteered to write to you and find out if you think Mom was wrong for taking the gifts back. Or is Maria wrong for not speaking to Mom anymore? A FAMILY DIVIDED DEAR FAMILY: After Mom returned the Christmas gifts, she should have phoned Maria and told her not to come to pick up the gifts because there were no gifts to pick up. As for Maria not speaking to Mom anymore, Mom could be lucky, considering what Maria might say to her. DEAR ABBY: My father is the most stubborn man in the world. Nobody can tell him anything.

He had seat belts put in our car as soon as they came out. and he gave us kids a big long lecture on how. we should always use them. but he never uses them himself. When I tell him he forgot to fasten his seat belt.

he says he is going only a short distance and it doesn't pay to bother. I have tried to tell him that it takes only a few seconds to fasten a seat belt and it might save his life. but he gets mad at me for speaking up to him. He has a Veg ugly temper. and I have to be careful what I say to him or I'lend up with a fat lip.

How can a 14-year-old boy tell his father to practice what he preaches? FOURTEEN DEAR FOURTEEN: Tell him that the National Safety estimates that most automobile accidents occur miles of the victims' homes. But don't tell him to practice what he or you're apt to get a "bolt" in the chops. 11 4o also at the home of the bride's parents.

wish I could have seen what was coming and had the first pinafore in the neighborhood with the label on the outside. "Dress by me" would have been my mark. One of the latest items to bear a designer's name is pantyhose. but for the life of me I can't figure out where they will put their mark for the whole world to see. Men's socks have already been branded with a little animal or initials.

I wonder about the practicality of this because of the thousands of sock eating washing machines in our homes. If you have a designer sock you can't put just any old sock with it when the mate gets- lost. I know a woman that is such a good organizer that her husband has matching socks for each day of the week. She has never lost a sock and I hate her. If you are wearing socks with an emblem.

who will know unless you have slacks that are embarrassingly short or you wear shorts all the time? Just watch the Johnny Carson show for the first man that figures out a way to let the audience see his designer socks. A. scandel the clothing industry was reported. It was disclosed that there are some unscrupulous manufacturers that are forging and selling counterfeit designer jeans. That seems simple with a clever seamstress and some labeling tape you could be in business.

The day that any family with children should dread is the day they discover designer marked clothin are already into very altos cople clothing. Have they infiltrated the diaper market yet? What will be next? Picture this, the doctor delivers your baby and asks. "Where will you want your designer's mark?" 1. 2 2 4 nit rad.
