Slim Chance For Fatties By Abigail Van Buren + 1878 by Chicago Trlbune-H.¥. News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: E am sitting here, drinking my fourth cup of coffee and feeling very depressed. I need someone to talk to, so J am writing to you, . Three weeks ago I got lnid off. Since then I've been all over town looking for werk, but haven't had any luck, . I see a sign in the window saying “WAITRESS WANTED,” so I go inside and the receptionist takes one look at me and says, “Sorry, the job is already filled.” I know why I get turned down without even aninterview, I'm FAT! . Abby, can't people be a little kinder and just give me a chance? Just because a woman is fat doesn't mean she can’t work, In fact, a fat person would prabably work twice as hard just to prove she can do the job. a Ican't give up since I need a job, I feel better having been able to tell this to somebody. Thanks for listening. FAT AND DEPRESSED DEAR FAT: Friends do more than Helen, They tell yan what you need to hear.

Pam is 15 and a women's libber already. She thinks it’s every girl's right te do as she pleases as long as she’s not hurting anybody and it's not against the law. This includes going braless, which is what she does. : Pam is a big girl. I mean top-heavy. If she wore a bra it would probably be a 38. Her teacher rang me up and told me that if Pam keeps coming fo school without a bra, she'll be expelled. . Abby, do you know any 15-year-girl who lets her mother dress her? Well, neither do E. Please help me. PAM’S MOM DEAR MOM: Does Pam's school have a dress cade? If it does, and « bra is required, Pai is out of bounds in more: ways than one.
