REX KENNETH VAN DINE
... died Tuesday in Livingston
Dear Annie: I am a 20-year-
old female with a serious dilemma.
Three years ago, my parents di-
vorced because my mom cheatad
on my father. I knew for two yean
that Mom was cheating, and i never
said a word to anyone until she
came out and confessed. Then she
asked why 1 didn’t speak up
sooner.
After the divorce, Mem sank
into a deep depression, and all the
mutual friends my parents had to-
gether abandoned her. During this
time, I acted as a true friend to her.
Then she met “Frank.” She devel-
oped this better-than-everyene alti-
tude and left me out in the dust,
along with the rest of these who
supported her.
Mom married Frank last week,
and she already is cheating on him
with my dad. I don’t want anyone
to get hurt, but I feel I should tell
Frank what’s going on because this
is her second offense, and what’s
fair is fair. After all, she did ask
the first time why I didn’t open my
mouth. What do you think? ~
Abandoned Daughter in Massa-
chusetts
Dear Abaadoaed: We think
you are holding a justifiable gnidge
against your mother, but even
though her record is hardly pristine,
it won’t help to rat her out Mom’s
behavior is messy and erratic, and
it sounds as if she could use some
counseling. The more involved
you are in her love life, the worse it
will be for you. Do youraelf a fa-
vor and stay out of it completely.
Dear Annie: I'm 16 years old,
and I have an embarrassing prob-
lem. For some reason, one of my
breasts is bigger than the other, and
it’s noticeable. The difference is
probably a whole cup size. With
certain clothes, you definitely can
see, and it’s hard to find a bra that
fits right
It also lowers my self-esteem
because I feel like everyone can
tell. I could really use seme ad-
vice. Thank you. - Embar-
rassed in Ohio
Dear Ohio: Uneven breasts are
not that unusual, and they are not as
noticeable as you think. If it's any
consolation; •••iFW'ypeeaible lha
smaller brea*t"WUf catch up with
the larger one by the time you a»
finished growing. In the meantime,
find a bra that fits the larger breast,
and use some padding to even out
the other side. If you go to a linge-
rie shop or the lingerie section of a
good department store, the sales-
clerk can help you find something
appropriate. Don’t be embarrassed.

Otar Auric: We recently at-
tended a family wedding. The invi-
tation said the wedding was at 2
p.«i., with a reception and dancing
til JO. After the ceremony, we sat
fit the hotel bar with a dozen other
dppuly members, all of whom had
driven over three hours to attend.
*l" We soon learned that there were
Qto invitations - one of which was
Mr a dinner, in the same building,
right across the hall from the bar I
lira* sitting in. There were 150
guests at the dinner. Various fam-
ily members came into the bar and
apologized frequently. One even
Commented, “I bet you’re hungry.
There was so much food.” At one
point, the bride’s mother walked
into the bar, raw us, and promptly
turned around and walked out.
- The bride's grandmother
ihmed the groom's mother. We
were all unaware of any conflict
between the families. We were
shocked, humiliated and very hurt.
We folt like second-class guests.
V Etiquette is simply displaying
t|0ughtfulness and consideration
for others. You don’t have to in-
clude everyone, but you shouldn’t
gl» out of your way to be rude.
Annie, are we making too big a
deal about this? •• Relatives for a
tyrtnway
Dear Relatives: Not at all. It
h inconsiderate to have a dinner
Ohcre only some of the guests are
invited, especially when those ex-
cluded are sure to hear about or
even see it Also, relatives who
Come from out of town should be
included in everything.

er-satisfaction survey from J:D.

nual survey of customer satisfac-
tion among full-service investors.
