Dear Ann Landers: When my husband and I dine out, which is quite often, I like to tell him what I want so he can tell the waiter. I’ve always believed this is the proper way to do.The last few times I’ve done this my husband has said to me “Why don’t you tell the waiter yourself — he’s standing right here.” (All this in front of the waiter.) I wanted to die.What shall I say when he pulls this again? Please think of an answer that will blister his hide. Thank you. — A LADYDear Lady: You are indeed correct. Try this needle for size:“Because a gentleman like you expects his wife to behave like a lady. And a lady always gives the order to the gentleman and allows him to place it.’’She's been acting tense and moody lately and we fear they have again stepped out of line. What shall we do — sit* *Dear Ann Landers: There are 15 employes in this small business. The owner is almost a stranger to us. He spends no time in the office and we see him once a year at the annual Christmas dinner. He drops in to honor us with his presence (in time for dessert) then picks up his gift and leaves.The manager of the business is “one of us,” devoted to his work and a first-rate guy. Next year we want to buy a gift for HIM and skip the owner. We’ve never bought the manager anything although he’s the one we’d like to honor.Some have said this wouldcause hard feelings and think we should split the money and buy them each a modest gift. What do you say? — 15 Dear 15: Since there seems to be so little enthusiasm forthe owner next year, for precedent’s sake, buy him a teeny-weeny itsy-bitsy gift and spend the lion’s share on a gift for the11manager.]*Dear Ann Landers: We are desperate parents of a 20-year-old girl.

Shall we have a talk with the fellow and warn him to stay away? Please don’t suggest a clergyman. She won’t go. - MADISON, WIS.Dear Madison: The mold is set by 20. You aren’t going to change this girl’s behavior pattern. If the initial scare wasn’t sufficient to keep her in line, there’s nothing you can say or do.Warning the boy to “stay away” would be foolish as well as useless. She would manage to see him if she wanted to. This girl has been out of your control for some time. I hope and pray she doesn't ruin her life and break your hearts. Beyond that there’s nothing anyof us can do.* * *!1iftI€taAnn Landers will be glad to help you with your problems.
