's strictly "hang loose"
as far as coats go in the
French couture. Those
enormous, loose Big Coats
are back for the second
year in a row. Last fall's
gigantic mohair steamer
coats from Dior predicted
the away-from-the-body
trend that was followed by
French ready-to-wear and
copied by American manu-
facturers for this fall. It
would happen just when
Americans were becoming
body-conscious and had
finally accepted the small,

Dear Heloise: Have you
ever been given a "map"

house?bring them, ask the murse

go, she says
Dear Ann Landers: You really let a lot of us down.
I refer to the advice you gave to the weeping widow
who sold her lovely home and is miserable living with
children who don't want her. "And now it's too late,"
she moaned. Too late, hell! It's not too late, and you
should have told her so.
If a widow sells ,her lovely home she must have
money in the bank, or somewhere. Some widows
receive pensions or social security. So why didn't you
urge the weak-kneed granny to move out if she feels
like a housekeeper and maid and is afraid to open her
mouth for fear of "interfering?"
I know it can be done because I did it. Here's how:
I have a $10,000 "rainy day" fund and live on $375 a
month. I found an apartment complex with people my
own age. (When you see an ad that says "no children,"
it's usually an ideal place for widows and widowers.)
There is no such thing as "too late." That miserable
widow should move out, find new friends, get a hobby
or a part-time job. To stay in a home with children who
make her feel as if she is imposing is nuts, and please
tell her I said so., Sign me - Alone and Happy
Dear Happy: I should tell her? After your letter?
Thanks for the gutty, right-on approach. It takes
courage to do what you did and I doff my bonnet to you.
lady.
Dear Ann Landers: I was amazed to read your
remarks chastising the person who used the expression
"deaf and dumb." You suggested instead, "deaf and
mute."
This is to tell you we don't care much for "deaf and
mute" either. Actually, very few deaf people are mute.
Some of us speak with difficulty and are not easily
understood, but about 99 44/100ths of the deaf people
can (and do) say "ouch" when they are pinched. So,
please tell you readers that we may be deaf, sometimes
silent, often quiet, but practically never mute. - F.S.
INat'1. Assn. Of The Deaf, Silver Springs, Md.)
Dear F.S.: Now I'm saying "ouch" and 1 offer my
humble apologies. One thing is certain. Deaf people
might not hear, but they certainly do read and boy.
