DEAR READERS: Today marke the 26th anni-
versary of thie column, and I am filled with gratitude
to:

My twin, Epple, who only monthe before I began
writing landed the job of writing the Ann Landers
column and gave me the inepiration to strike out on

my own,

Mort Phillips, my devoted husband, who has
spoiled me for 41 yeare and has given me more
uncandtional love, encouragement, confidence and
sound advice than FI ever dreamed possible.

Stanlelgh Arnold, the features editar of the San
Franciaco Chronicle, who agreed to see this un-
known, Inexzperienced Hillsborough housewife when
she impulsively telephoned him to aay, “I can write a
much better advice column than the one you’ve been
running.” is

Rober? W. Lucas, the then-managing editor of the
Denver"Post, who offered to be my spdclal consul-
tant. (He’s now retired, but he's atlll my apectal
conauliant.)

The Jate Ted Bernatein of The New York Times,
who, out of friendship, served as my supreme court
on word usage. -“

only. my loyal secretary but my cherished friend for

‘The Cryptequip is a simple substitution cipher in which each
letter used stands for another. If you think that X equals 0, it
will equal O throughout the puzzle, Single letters, short words,
and words using an apostrophe can give you clues to locating
vowels. Solution is accomplished by trial and error.
