To Summer
Cottagers: How To’

Repel Boarders

DEAR ABBY: Now that the summer season will soon be
upon us, how about some help for us poor suckers who have
‘summer cottages?

We've had our cottage for eight years, and each summer
we grow more populer than the summer before. Friends and
relatives come in droves to enjoy themselves in the sun.and
partake of our food and drink. They stay anywhere from a
weekend toa full week. They always come ampty-handed, of.
course.

We have even written notes in advance saying, “We are
sorry, but we can’t have you this year,”—but they come
anyway. Why are some folks so thick? We bought this place
to get away from these people.

We don’t want to seem cranky, bul we'd iike to entertain
the guests we really WANT, without all these others
“surprising” us. We're tired of running a free hotel, and are
thinking of selling. Can you help us?

HADIT-IN MINNESOTA

DEAR HAD IT; Hf you've actually written to say you
can't accommodate them, but they come anyway — your only
calvation je to develop a thicker hide. Greet the unwelcome
ones at the door with, “You may stay for a few hours, but
when the eun disappears, please do tikewiee.”

"DEAR ABBY: You are so right when you say, “Live your
life one day at a time.”
After 13 years of a happy marriage, beautiful children, a

succegsful husband (due to my help), a beautiful home and alt

the trimmings, my husband informs me that he is just not
“happy” anymore! oo

Al the same time, my brother's wife has decided the same
thing. Strange? Not really, She ia divorcing my brother
(they also have a lovely home and two beautiful children} so
she can marry my husband. :

Need I tell you how much hurt and unhappiness these two
selfish people have caused everyone involved?

So, here [ ait, still in shock, very hurt and bitter, thinking
of haw wise your philosophy is, “Live your life one day at a
time.” ;

That's all any of us‘reaily has. Sign me...

ALONE WITH TWO CHILDREN TO RAISE

DEAR ALONE: You asked for no advice, but may I give
you some? Don't dwell on your bitterness, hurt and resent-
ment. Turn your attention to putting your life together by

* pursuing new interests. Work on being a positive, attrae-

tive, Mkable person. You still have a lot of tiving to do. Good
luc!

DEAR ABBY; My husband is convinced that shampooing .

his hair will cause it to fall out.

Arnold is 26 and good-looking, but he’s got this thing
about losing his hair because his father was bald at 40. He
naver brushes his hair because if he sees a few hairs in his
hairbrush he practically freaks out! And if he wakes up and
finds a few hairs on his pillow, it spoils his day,

He's a wonderful guy, but you don't know how hard itis to
sleep with a man who has hasn't washed his hair since last
July, Help! Maybe he'll believe you. I've given up.

‘BRIS WIFE

DEAR WIFE. Tell Arnold that I sald cleanliness and
mussage promote the growth of human halr, He stands to
Jose more hair (and frlends) if he allows rancid oll to collect
on hie sealp. :

Da you wish you bed more friends? Fer the secret of
popularity, get Abby's sew booklet: “How To Be Pepular;
You're Never Too Young or Too Old," Gend $1 with « long,
self-addressed, stamped (28 cents) exuvelope to Abby, 1

YOU BORN TODAY are
original, high-strung, and
dramatic, You're naturally
attracted to avant garde
occupations and would suc-

ceed in music, playwrighting,

the stage, and art, Do not let a
desire for security make you
too dependent on others, Don't
worry about your ideals
paying off in cash. Hold fast to
them and you'll stun the world
with your original creations,
Though you can succeed in
business, you have greater

talents elsewhere. You'd

make a fine leader for a
philanthropic cause, and in
the arts, you're liable to be
ahead of your time. Birthdate
of: Martha Graham, ballet
impressario: Salvador Dali,
artist; and Ellsworth Bunker,
ambassador. ~
