year I've had mf purse} ce six times. I put upa fight

the last time ang was hit over the head and had to go to the
hospital:to get 12 stilghes itt my head. ; ;
] also received 11 indecent propositions. | can’t figure it
out because I'm 47, oF rwe}ght and just an ordinary-looking
housewife, I hardly ever wear makeup, and I dress up only
for church of Sundae r
Thred wonfen in py neighborhood have been raped in the
past month afd I'mgcared{that may be next. I am thinking
of carrying al butchdy knife; in my purse for protection.
Will you please congult &n expert and find out if ] can be
put in jail for trying to protect my purse, my honor and my

DEAR SCARED: You don't say where youlive, but yaura
ig a good queaffon. F-advige you to get in touch with your
local policé' orisher#f'a office and ask them what kind of
weapon (if any) a citizen|'ts permitted to carry in order to
protect Iife, limb and pocketbook. The laws differ from state
to state, ue a

DEAR ABBY; When I go toa fast-food place, I find my
own seat, pay the cashier, carry my own food to the table,
and dispose of the debris in the waste receptacle, so J do not
tip. oar
But when I go to a restaurant and someone takes my
order, serves my food and brings me my check, I tip 15 per-
cent ofthe bill.- .

My question:-What would you consider a reasonable tip
for a semi-service place when [ stand in line to place my
order, pay the cashier and find my own table, but the
waitress brings the food, pours my iced tea and clears the

table?
ED IN SOUTH CAROLINA

’ DEAR ED: I'd leave a 15 percent tip. That will make up
for the cheapskiates who leave nothing.

DEAR ABBY: I am one of six, and we've always been a
very close family. We're all married now, and have families
of our own,

Seven years ago our mother died, Dad died a year later,

We all contributed equally ta the upkeep of their graves, °

but I havent been to the cemetery since we put up Dad's

headstone:' I've ‘headed out toward the cemetery. many

tries, but a’ terrible depression comes over me and I turn
ack.

My brothers and sislers go often. They say it makes them
feel good. Well, maybe I'm an oddball but it tears me apart
to look at their graves, so 1 don't go.I was a good son, 50 1
don't have any guilt about how I treated my parents when
they were living, but I do feel guilty when someone in the
family asks me if I've been to the cemetery to visit the folks
ately,

Should I foree myself to go for appearances’ sake’

TORN

DEAR TORN: The time te show respect for parents Is
during their lifetime. If it tears you apart to visit their
graves, don't feel guilly about staying away. The poorest
reason to do anything {a for the cake of appearances,
