ART FORM—Barbara Sanford with examples, left
and bottom, of the arf ofbrass rubbing, using
pencil, charcoal, etc., to transfer, to paper the
impression from designs cast in bronze. Mrs.
Sanford, of Middletown, Ohio, has acquired 32 of
the more popular English and Belgian brasses and
is teaching others the European art form of cap-
turing the designs on paper.
DEAR ABBY: If someone had told me this could happen
to me I never would have believed it. After six years of
marriage (no children by choice), my wife and I got mixed
up in a wife-husband swepping deal. •
This other couple, who are about our age, weren’t happy
with each other, and the woman was attracted to me and
the man liked my wife, so we went along with the swapping
idea just for the fun of it. We had never done anything like
that in our lives and thought it would be a good learning
experience.
After three months of swapping, my wife left me to
* move into this man's apartment. His wife had no place to
live, so I let her move in with me, but there is no sex
between us, I give you my word. (There WAS some at
first, but it didn't last long.) All we do is talk about my wife
and her husband and wait for them to come to their senses.
I‘s been five months. and my wife is still living with this
man. She says she loves me, but isn't ready to come home
yet.
How much longer should I give her? I feel like a fool.
We’re both schoolteachers and I'm tired of lying and hiding
the truth.

loss was really bothering her.
She recalls how nervous she
was meeting her husband's co-
workers and trying to pretend
she could hear what they were

When she became pregnant
with her first child she said she
was more worried about being
able to hear the doctor than
about the labor pains. But she
didn’t mention her problem.
"I was not about to admit
there was anything wrong with

DEAR POLLY - My Pet Peeve is that just when I find a
product that meets my needs it comes out marked new and
improved. Consequently I have to hunt another brand.
I use the lids off potato chip cans as coasters. This saves
my table tops as they can be put everywhere they might be
needed. The empty cans are great to hold cookies, shelled
nuts, pop corn before it is popped and other things. The
cans fit on the freezer door and my husband can find those
homemade cookies himself. - MRS. W.D.

If a guest ducks out of a very large party without saying
goodbye because he or she doesn’t want to start an exodus
(or say goodbye to 100 people), then a note or a call to the
hostess the next day would naturally take the place of
what wasn't said in person.
But when guests leave my home and say they enjoyed
being there, that’s sufficient for me; and I don't want them
phoning me the next day to repeat what they have already
said.
If there is something to discuss, well and good, or if they
had an exceptionally good time a written note is welcome,
but I think perfunctory phone calls after a party are a
nuisance and a thing of the past.
Am I alone in this? Please ask your readers to express
their views.

DEAR ABBY: Your response to NON-SMOKER should
be burned! You apparently live in some ivory tower where
smokers respect the rights of non-smokers in elevators,
restaurants and confined public places. Come out of your
tower, Abby, and smell the smoke!
I live in a large apartment building with "NO SMOKING”
signs in the elevators, but the smokers smoke anyway. It
does no good to remind them that it's against New York
City law to smoke in elevators. They do not extinguish -
their cigarettes—they just move them away from the
complainer.
Anyone who says that most smokers will quickly douse
their cigarettes when someone complains obviously

The condition can usually '
be helped by conservative
treatment Almost all au-
thorities agree that the knee
should be rested and some
put a short cast or splint
around the knee with the
knee straight to prevent any
pulling of the tendon on the
tubercle area
Others tend to neglect the
disease and do little active
treatment, but I am
surprised that anyone would
recommend athletic activity
and other things which are
apt to increase the strain on
the area.
in sone cases orthopedic
specialists do use injections
of cortisone with an
anesthetic agent. If one shot
helps a second may be war-
ranted This is usually not
required for most cases, but
it is one more trick the
doctor has up his sleeve.
Finally, in a very few
cases when there is a piece
of fractured bone in an ab-
normal position or some
other complication, then an
operation is indicated. This
can also be done to reduce
the size of an exceptionally
large knobby knee that may
result from Osgood
Schlatter’s disease.
You want to be sure that
your doctor is making his
diagnosis on the basis of X-
ray studies. If not, more
serious disorders of the
knee, including a bone tu-
mor may be missed. Since
your son’s condition has got-
ten worse instead of better,
you might have a consulta-
tion with an orthopedic spe-
cialist. See if your family
doctor can arrange to have
him seen at the University
Medical Center in your state
for a consultation.
Meanwhile, I am sending
you The Health Letter num-
ber 1-10, Exercise, Posture,
