Sounds of Love
Arouse Her Ire

By Abigail Van Buren

@ 1078 by Chicago Tritune-N.Y. News Synd. Inc.

DEAR ABBY: I've been living in an apartment for the last
eight years and have gotten used to the noises that oceur.
However, I have recently encountered a noise I don't know

‘how to deal with. It’s most annoying since it usually occurs

late at night or early in the morning. If you haven't guessed
by now, it's my upstairs neighbors’ squeaky bed!

A pair of newlyweds recently rented the apartment above
me, Their bedroom is directly above mine and it's extremely

* difficult for me to fall asleep at night or sleep late in the.

morning.
I have only a nodding acquaintance with the girl, so it's

not as though we can sit down for some friendly girl talk.
Meanwhile, I'm losing sleep. My name is Kathy and I live

in Atlanta, but sign'me...
. BLEARY-EYED AND ENVIOUS

DEAR BLEARY-EYED: Catch the girl when she's alone
and give it to her straight: “My bedroom is directly under
yours. Your bed squeaks. It keeps me awake. Will you
please do something about it?”

It you are unable to deliver this message in per-
son— write!

DEAR ABBY: Our daughler became engaged last
December. Sarah is 25 and David is 29.

Sarah lives at home and ‘David lives 30 miles from here.
He drives over. every night to be with Sarah, which is fine,
but he shows up regularly just in: time for supper. 1 invite
him to have dinner with-us- every Sunday, but he’s here
every other night, too. .

Abby, he is a successful businessman (accountant), has
good manners, and we like him, but] am fed up with his free-
loading. Not once has he offered to take my husband and me
out for a meal.

I've asked Sarah to say something to him about this, but ,

she’s afraid she'might hurt his feelings:

I hate to be rude, but-J am up to here with having him for
supper every night of the week...

Who should tell him?.Or.am [ wrong for feeling imposed

upon? Please help me... we,
me FED. UP IN BROOKLYN

years ago] had an affair with Pete's nephew. He's 29. He's
not a real nephew since Pete and I are living common-law.
