Wife Has Hobby— Collects Garbage By Abigail Van Buren + 1979 by Chicago Tribune-N.¥. News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: We need advice desperately, We have a dear young relative {married a year) whose house looks like a disaster area, Would it be wrong to ask if we could go in and clean it up for her? You never saw such a mess in all your life! ABSOLUTELY ANONYMOUS DEAR ABSOLUTELY: There's a wise ald truism, “Give aman a fish and he can eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he can cat for a lifetime.” Subtly offer your young relative a few tips from an “old. veteran” on how te make housekeeping easier. If she reacts with appreciation, dig in and teach her. If she reacts with in- dignation— back off. DEAR ABBY: In a recent column a woman complained that her husband was not allowed to play tennis ona certain | tennis court because he wasn't “properly attired.” (He was wearing regular street trousers and shirt. He was told he had to wear white tennis shorts and white shirt.) The wife asked if you knew the reason for this rule, and © you siid you didn't know for sure, but it was probably because white looks better and is cooler, THE Shave TRIER Te BscAPe THIS THE IM GANG To TEACH HIM A Well, I know the reason. White clothing dues not shaw perspiration they way colored clothing does, and tennis players sweat a lot, MARTHA POST: LAKELAND, FLA, DEAR MARTHA: Your explanation sounds reasonable. But read on for a few athere: I believe. I read somewhere thal the reason all tennis players wear white is because it shows off their suntans. TENNIS PRO IN WORCESTER, MASS. Tennis players are required to wear white on the courts because if the players were permitted ta wear colored ¢lothes, you'd have stripes, wild patterns in clashing colors, and a mess of distracting designs. It might distract other players, and would certainly look like the dickens to Spectators. REASONED fT OUT IN YPSILANTI Why do tennis players have to dress in white? Simple: Because white is cooler. Don't ask me why, but itis a known and proven fact. You'll notice that people who live in Lhe desert are always dressed in white for that reason. . COMMON SENSE FROM ORANGE, TEXAS ‘Tennis players must dress uniformly because it's the , democratic way. When they all wear Lhe same, nobody lacks any richer or better dressed than his leam players or op- _ ponents. And the color is white because most people look better in white. PETERSBURG, VA. The official tennis outfit originated in England over 150 years ago. It was all white. Since thal time, all tennis clothes are uniformly white to carry on the tradition, C.W.IN W. PALM BEACH, FLA. DEAR ABBY: What do you think of a minister who stands outside a porno movie theater to see how many people he knows go in? JUST ASKING DEAR JUST: He's not very bright. Some of the people he knows might see him standing there and think he just came out.
